Capcom venturing into 'Dark Void'

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Oct 17th 2007 at 1:00PM }

Experience has taught us again and again that despite being entirely empty, voids are often filled to the brim with danger. Should a friend ever spot one and inquire as to what exactly it is, you'd thoughtfully answer, "A void!" Of course, that's a purely hypothetical scenario -- your trite wordplay repels any potential friends immediately.

It's alright then, if you don't entirely trust Capcom when they invite you to experience "Dark Void", a new game announced at Capcom's Gamer Day in London. Not much light has been shed on the sci-fi actioner, though Games Radar describes its protagonist as a fellow with a jetpack and a habit of leaping into gyroscopic vehicles. You'll know more when we do.

Deleted article?

They shouldn't confuse "dark void" with "development hell"...

...not that they don't deserve to catch a little bit of hell for ditching Clover. ¬_¬ But I like that they're trying to redeem themselves with SF4. *hyped*

They should be working on Dead rising 2.

Both this and the SF4 article on Games Radar have been deleted. Curiouser and curiouser.

"Not much light has been shed on the sci-fi actioner"
Hence the name, Dark Void.
I suppose a flashy, colorful void would be deprived of that danger you speak of?

I think that's where they were going with that, buddy.

And that's the joke, which is our consensus!
There is the fun, all over that precise spot.

Street Fighter IV aside, Capcom's much ballyhooed event has been a bit of a letdown.
No Okami 2/Wii port (despite the rumors), no return of the original Mega Man, no Dead Rising 2. Blah.

Although at least this game sounds kinda potentially old-school fun, what with jetpacks and funky vehicles and all.
...probably just turn out to be another generic shooter, though.

Am I the only one who would possible like to see a resurgence of the Breath of Fire games. Or possible a port of Breath of Fire III to a newer system. It was probably one of my favorite RPG series' ever.

Excepting of course Breath of Fire IV, what a god awful game
