Alone in the Dark Makes its Way to PS2, Wii

Atari’s latest Alone in the Dark offering will be making its way to Sony’s aging console, the PS2, as well as the Wii. While the next-gen versions of the game will be developed by Eden Games, the PS2 and Wii ports will be handled by developer Hydravision of the Obscure series.

same story as the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC version, where over the course of one apocalyptic night, hero Edward Carnby must uncover the earth-shattering secret hidden in New York’s iconic Central Park.

Hydravision has tackled the innovative and highly advanced technology driving Alone in the Dark on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC head-on, using the company’s wealth of experience and proven technology. The versions for Wii and PS2 have been developed in parallel specifically to take full advantage of each console’s capabilities.

Both games push the hardware hard, incorporating many of the gameplay features found in the Xbox 360 version. On the Wii, the control system is specially adapted to make full use of the Remote and Nunchuck to manipulate objects in real-time, a key gameplay feature of Alone in the Dark, enhancing the player’s immersion in the experience.

The PS2 just refuses to die, eh?
