Codemasters readies new action franchise: Damnation
Codemasters just pulled the shroud off of a new action franchise it'll be rolling out to the PC, 360 and PS3 this winter: Damnation. The main selling point seems to be the vertical orientation, as you'll drop thousands of vertical feet each level as you take on an evil arms dealer described in the press release we received as "unstoppable" (honestly, why are we even trying then?). Also, expect vehicles like motorcycles and tanks, along with multiplayer. There's a bit more info here, if you're curious.
The most surprising thing about the announcement isn't that levels will apparently take up to three hours to complete, or that it's the first project from studio Blue Omega Entertainment. It's not even that the release says the game's plot is "truly an ensemble piece." No, the most surprising thing to us is that no one has titled a game Damnation before now. Really? Can that be right?

Thats what I thought. Now the real question is, "will it be any good?"

"No, the most surprising thing to us is that no one has titled a game Damnation before now. Really? Can that be right?"
Indeed. Indeed.

Dude has got to lose the hat...and the girl...as tempting as her outfit may be, defies gravity. There might be some damnation to this game after all. Otherwise the game looks pretty good. I'm getting bad flashbacks of Jericho for some reason:-p

Without a doubt that is the same engine Jericho used.

Dark tower the videogame?
The chick needs to be black with one leg though!

Ya, Tarnation just doesn't have that same ring to it.
Lone Starr @ Mar 6th 2008 3:31PM
So, um, what's up with that dude's hat?

nice!

I really like the art direction, and I like the idea of having more verticality in my FPS games (or TPS games (not to be confused with TPS reports), whatever).
Hope it's better than Jericho.
