the most interesting thing about this game for me is SOTC like bosses :O
The Gears of War influence is pretty straightforward, with the focus on taking cover -- even though it's implemented vertically here -- and the game's use of the Unreal Engine for its visuals. But a more surprising influence comes from Sony's Shadow of the Colossus, which not only is one of the best-reviewed games in recent memory but also is seemingly one of the least likely to inspire a shooter, since it's all about taking down giant beasts in a slow and methodical fashion. As it turns out, Dark Void will have bosses much like those in Sony's game. "The idea there is that you're going to use your jetpack to latch on to these things and kind of scale them," Kujawa says. "It's almost like pecking at this giant boss." And much like in Shadow of the Colossus, there will be parts of these fights where you'll need to hold down a button to keep the bosses from bucking you off.
Visuallly its not impressive, and looks like a mixture of Mass Effect and Too Human, which isn't terrible, but some originality would be nice. Looks interesting though, the gameplay could be nice.
Also, enough of Gears being the "original" game with a goddamn cover system. HAVING COVER MECHANICS DOESN'T MEAN IT WAS INSPIRED IN ANY WAY BY GODDAMN GEARS!!! My god, people, seriously. Gears was far from the first, and it wasn't exactly all that special really. I mean it was a great cover system, but wasn't all that different.

I love Gears Of War but you're right, Kill.Switch, Splinter Cell and James Bond: Everything Or Nothing come to mind. I think Dead To Rights did too didn't it? And how about Rolling Thunder 2? :D

Pretty sure Loakum was making fun of religious naive people who thought that God and Trump have a good connection. And the most recent "Bruh..." means "Bruh, don't you get my sarcasm?" (10 Weeks ago)

Commented on 2008-06-04 09:31:48 In reply to beanbagmanThis game looks real intresting and looks good, graphically.
Capcom is sure on a role. RE4, Dark Void, Bionic Commando, SF, and more to be announced.
