Dark Void

(1/4) > >>

LTK:
Holy shit you guys: Dark Void. We're going to have so many games in the first quarter of 2010, since they all wanted to avoid getting caught in the MW2 hype, and Dark Void is one of them. It has jetpacks made by Nikola Tesla with 7.62 mm assault guns on it and shapeshifting alien larvae with massive bionic suits, to start with.

JD:
Slow ass flash site.

But the game looks pretty cool.

Storm Rider:
I've actually been keeping tabs on this game for a while. I really like the aerial combat elements, especially since these are the ex-Crimson Skies dudes, and the added dynamics the jetpack brings to the normal third person shooter formula. I'm not completely feeling the art design for the aliens, but the environments quite good and they've shown off a couple of classic Capcom giant fuckin' bosses as well.

I think that this is probably the best gameplay video out right now. It doesn't show too much of the UFO-on-UFO combat, but it does show how the jetpack flight works, the vertical cover combat, and how many options the jetpack opens up when taking on guys on the ground. My only worry from that video is that the enemies look a little bullet-spongey, but maybe that's just the weapon he was using. He also mentions that BSG composer Bear McCreary is doing the soundtrack, which is pretty cool. You can hear some of it from the man himself in this video, where he describes a technique he developed for the game soundtrack that (if it works) seems like it could do a lot for video game music in general.

The real bummer for me is that it's being released the week before Mass Effect 2. So... I'm gonna be busy then. But if it reviews well, I'll hopefully pick it up after I play so much ME2 that I need a palette cleanser.

Storm Rider:
Wise fwom your gwave.

Demo hits Live tomorrow.

Scandanavian War Machine:
Definitely looking forward to trying the demo out. I've had my eye on this one for a while (I'm a sucker for flying, which is why I'm buying Just Cause 2 on day 1, heh) but I have to play this one before I decide since I've got alot of other games in my present and future and I can only handle so many, you know.
