    Quote:

    Dark Void delivers a ground breaking combination of fast paced vertical combat mixed with mid-air and on-foot action.

    Something is consuming our universe, a vast and ancient force almost beyond our comprehension. Millions of years ago, the minions of that power found their way to the 3rd planet of an unremarkable yellow star. Ours. The race they created came to call their masters "The Watchers." For millennia we knew them as gods and served their dark purposes, but a few humans developed extraordinary powers. They were known as the Adepts and they rose up, banishing The Watchers into a parallel universe, where they've manipulated and schemed from afar. Until now.

I think these cross-genre games are the future, certainly looks interesting at any rate.

Love the bit where he takes to the sky in his jetpack. The engine looks so smooth .. and it definitely resembles the awesomeness that is Crimson Skies!

I hate it when games have a "from the makers of" tag attached to 'em. Let's hope this one proves me wrong.


Blame! don't act!

I'm really hyped for this now, thanks for the post! Love the mixture of cover-based combat, air combat and this new vertical combat, I love mind boggling games that force my synapses to reconnect in different ways Very Happy

I'm almost as hyped for this as I am for Brütal Legend.

...nice gimmick but no thanks. The jetpack was cool, and using it to flank the enemies at the beginning was very clever. Other then that, I'll pass. This suffers from "too many bullets" syndrome. He put a full clip into one of those things and it still wasn't dead. So I thought, well his equipment looks so old fashioned maybe if he steal one of their guns he'll kill em faster. Nope. He pulled some giant energy shotgun out of his ass instead. Where the fuck was that thing hiding anyway? 150 round of ammo to take out...8 guys? The rest he melee'd or blew up. Bullshit. I'm so sick of fps games like this. 3 rounds to the head, tops.

Grip? Wtf is that for? He's using the jetpack to hold him up. It seriously looked like he was actually trying not to fall. God forbid he increase the thrust so he just floats in the air. I'm sure you were all too busy jerkin' it to the graphics to notice though


i can has computar?!

Yeah, that's absolutely what it is! There's definitely no way in hell we're excited because, heaven forbid, we actually think the good sounds good! Lord no!

Couple of gameplay videos from E3

It looks good I guess, but we have to see if it is not just some generic shooter.

Is it just me but it bugs the shit out of me to hear developers talk about their own game, especially Americans as they get so excitable and almost talk about it like its real life.

And no, I am not having a dig at Americans.

This thing is their baby, they spent the last 3-5 years with it, of course they are excited about it.

I am too btw, the vids look great and it looks pretty fun, hope it leaks at christmas.

Anyone remembers that nice RELOADED christmas a couple of years back, where they released like 5 high profile games which noone was able to crack before because of starforce? That was a great christmas.

As i expected, this game got poor scores so far -

Quote:
A criminal waste of time and energy, as standard and generic a game as you could hope to find.


53/100

PC Zone UK

Quote:
If the foes were cunning enough to make every encounter unique, or the game made better use of the verticality inherent in the premise, Dark Void would have fared a whole lot better, but ultimately, it's a disappointing title that never manages to leave the tarmac.


60/100

What's up with Capcom this gen? They publish/develop shitload of average and crappy games. Sad

I wouldn't say that. RE5 and Lost Planet are both excellent games. Not to mention Dead Rising.
