Dark Void Blasts Off Into Increasingly Crowded 2010

Seriously, is anything shipping this year? Anyone?


How long 'Will' we have to wait for Dark Void? Oh, the dude's name is Will, in case you didn't get the totally sweet wordplay I threw in back there. Seriously, go read the first line in this caption again. I'll wait.

Well it looks like Morgan Gray's "one hat per game" rule is going to keep him rocking a newsie for at least a few more months. Capcom has announced a delay for the Airtight Games-developed Dark Void, pushing the game from its original September date to sometime in the first quarter of 2010.

Joystiq went ahead and got some clarity from Capcom's Chris Kramer, who cited things like "the crowded fall game season" as the reason for the delay. The game's developers will be taking the extra time to put further work into the game. I've been seeing versions of Dark Void here and there for the past year or so and have been looking forward to it for some time now, leaving me torn between the realms of "I'd really like to play this game" and "hey, it's cool that the team will get a bit more time to work on it."

But the larger issue, obviously, is that the fourth quarter of this year is starting to seem like a wasteland due to this constantly stream of delays. What's coming out this year that you're still looking forward to?

The Beatles: Rock Band vs Modern Warfare 2

These are probably the 2 giants in Q4 2009. (At least in terms of what is going to sell).

Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2. There's also some new stuff: Brutal Legend, Dragon Age Origins, Alpha Protocol and The Saboteur. From what I recall that's it... Oh Darksiders, is it coming out this year?

That's fine by me. There's plenty this year to come, and makes more likely the chances of me playing a freshly squeezed game unlike this year where I only just caught up with ANCIENT Fall 08 games.


It'd be great if Halo delays and everyone who announced "early" 2010 craps in their pantaloons. But really people are just getting out the way of Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 ... Rightly so.

But speaking of wastelands, Borderlands better be 09!

Uncharted 2, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, Batman: Arkham Asylum, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and Halo 3: ODST for me. Alpha Protocol, Mini Ninja's, and Avatar (The Movie Game) also have my interest.

With all of these delays it's looking like alot of smaller games that i'm sure would have been crushed will probably get alot of time to shine.

Rocktober - Brutal Legend and Borderlands
November - Assassins Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2
December - Daisy Fuentes Pilates

To be honest, I'm kinda glad many of these games are pushing to 2010 because big games take me about a month each to finish, and I only recently wrapped up playing the games I wanted to from Holiday 2008.

Hopefully the devs (and hat wearing producers) aren't crunching this whole time. That can be painful. Like running into a wall wearing a rocket pack kind of painful.

This year is still looking awesome for me. I've got East India Company coming out today, and hopefully I'll see HistWar: Les Grognards come out before the end of the year, as well as the as-yet untitled (but still supposedly released by the end of the year) Combat Mission x2: Normandy game. Oh, and also the Combat Mission Shock Force NATO expansion pack!

Particularly if HW:LG comes out, it will be amazing. Some people have been waiting 7 years for this game. Not me, but a while!

Because 2009 is the year were publishers decided to run away from a game called Modern Warfare 2.

If this keeps going, then 2010 might as well be the biggest year in gaming.

I'm looking forward to Arkham Asylum and Brutal Legend. I'd be excited about MW2 but at this stage, I feel like "great, more cod.../shrug". COD games are fun but a new one every year really dulls the impact.

1. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time (confirmation anyone)?
2. Assassins's Creed II
3. Borderlands
4. Uncharted 2
5. Modern Warfare 2

Honestly, all of these delays are all fault to blame on Modern Warfare 2, and then some with Halo: ODST.

Eh, I'm fairly confident Halo 3: ODST, TBoGT and Brutal Legend won't be delayed, so I'm happy. They're pretty much the only titles I care about this Q4. But yeah, it's mad how many games are getting delayed until Q1 '10. Still, at least we'll all have Christmas cash to spend, eh?

Darksiders, Uncharted 2, Champions Online, Need for Speed: Shift, Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, Assassins Creed 2, Tekken 6, Brutal Legend, Starcraft 2  for me.
2 or 3 of those could also get delayed and I'd still have more than enough games to entertain me for the remainder of the year.
