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?

Ah man... I need new glasses. At first glance in my RSS reader, I thought the title of this article said "Beats" instead of "Blasts".

I'd have to agree with the Borderlands/Brutal Legend combo being at the top of my list. However I don't know if I should wait for the inevitable PC release of Brutal Legend, or just get the 360 version at launch. Most likely getting Borderlands for PC... unless the co-op is where it's at.

More games need GFW Live support. I'm shocked and deflated that basic GFW games like Prototype don't have achievements. Can we safely assume Borderlands will use GFWL since it has co-op and a 360 counterpart?

@RHCPfan24:  Don't be surprised if many of these pushed titles come out in Spring. GTAIV has proven it's a viable release window.

Wow, 2010 is getting busy...too busy. I still am playing a lot of oldies at the moment so I will be content probably until the winter but I can understand the frustration that arises from this.

ios this really all CODMW 2 fualt? i mean i guess i can understand but if so that makes 2010 one of the biggest holiday seasons ever or we get some REALLY POLISHED games in 2011.


maybe they could take some of those games and release them in the summer draught, that never made sense to me with all the kiddies out from school i would just think that is also a good time to release games. I am way beyong the whole school thing and other then a couple vacations i take in the summer i much would like at least 2 triple A titles to grab up instead of 1 to 3 months of shit.

MW 2 must be one helluva game. I have not been into online gaming since quake 3 and sof on the pc but if this is all ia m gonna get i may just have to finally check out the online aspect to this game i hear it is great anyway......Although borderlands is still coming and that game is huge on my radar and if it is as good as it sounds that will have some great legs to it. What i can tell though from now till end of year there is Drake Fortune 2 CODMW2 and Borderlands still coming O YEAD and ODSTwhich i thought was just some expansion with 5 to 6 hours of gameplay and would only be about 40 bucks. It seems the price is now 60 is this a full game now or its just got halo on it and a loyal fanbase so they figure might as well take advantage. Never been into halo never saw the hype about it i really did not think much of the universe eithier. I do think bungie makes good shit though and i am glad they only have one more halo game to make before there are out of contract with MS and can go make some other GREAT NEW IP

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
