Yet another game I'm hoping turns out as spectacular as it looks is Capcom's upcoming Dark Void, set to hit stores on January 12, 2010. Airtight Studios has been hard at work on this baby for quite some time and each time I see it in action or pore over new screenshots is a reminder of how the best developers can take a killer concept and given enough time, really make it soar.Given that some of the Airtight team helped craft the original Xbox mega-hit Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, expectations are indeed high that this new game will not just follow in the footsteps of that classic, but surpass it to become a smash across the board on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC once it finally ships.
The unique mix of fast-paced flight action, vertical exploration and combat combined with dynamic shooting and ship hijacking sections combined with the retro-futuristic visual style presented in massive, seamless environments (*whew*) should make for plenty of heart-stopping gameplay. Capcom and Airtight are promising a ton of features in this sci-fi adventure and so far, the game looks to really deliver the goods. Check out these dynamic screens and console version cover art:
We'll have more updates on Dark Void as info flies in - stay tuned...
