Capcom has been talking about how dissatisfied they are with working with western developers they are lately. Maybe this is part of it, who knows, Bionic Commando wasnt bad but it really wasnt good either.

Played the demo on XBL. I wouldn't say bad, just as BC wasn't bad. I just get a very big "meh" feeling when playing it - i feel the concept could have been done better, i don't like the art direction (it's very weak), the graphics are absolutely normal, and the gameplay is ok, lacks polish. 
 
Capcom has been saying how it's been hard working with western developers, the thing is both games (BC and DarkVoid) are pretty hard concepts to nail down and execute correctly, they are both games that, by their mechanics, have a hard time appealing to the general crowd.

"i don't like the art direction (it's very weak)"

Its a Meh game. Though, a bit more MEH than Bionic Commando.  
 
Man, the GB crew is gonna be bummed.

This is disappointing to here. I was really looking forward to this game. :(

 Nolan North as Nathan Drake is the main character, the demo played and looked like something out of 2006.

" Yeah, so, who saw that coming? I didn't. No one said Bionic Commando was "bad" when it was coming out, but people are saying Dark Void is "BAD". How did that happen? This game was initially supposed to ship sometime in early 2009 (and the devs almost got an extra year to get their shit together). How did this happen? How did Morgan Gray and his awesome hat let this happen?   Makes you think all those delays were not for "marketing reasons". "

It's sad and kinda funny that I've got far more interest in Dark Void Zero now 

Wasn't digging the demo. So bad it has to be this way, but not all games that have promise will get even close to meeting that promise.

Yeah, BC was a good game that suffered from in my opinion some minor problems whilst the demo for dark void was just "eh", "meh", "mmm","huh", "2006", "CAPCOM!?", "gah"

I think Capcom should stay in-house for all their games now.

thanks for hyping it up GB >:(

This game always looked whatevs to me.

When Capcom lowered their sells expectations,i knew something was wrong.

I havent tried it at all. I mean, no demo, no nothing. But since it isnt out yet, I dont think we should go ahead thinking this game i bad because apparently somebody says so.
Never the less, I couldnt care more. I have no interest in this game so far.

the demo was...alright at best. and I liked bionic commando. this will get even worse reviews tho, its easy to see. The graphics are sub par, the shooting is ok if nothing new, the flying seems cool tho, but the enemiy designs are horribly generic imo, and for a game that you can fly everywhere, it seems very empty/ Not even my love for Capcom will make me buy it, at least not for full price

big surprise..its a Capcom Game!

How could it be good? It never looked good! The trailers were horrible! The more I saw of the game the more I pitied it, and the development team! 
 
The idea of flying around in a jet pack all the time doesn't even sound that great! It sounds repetitive and boring, it's as if a Mario game was to be released in which you didn't need mushrooms because you are big all the time! Where the hell did all the hype come from? I have more interest in the faux-retro prequel it is getting for DSi Ware, and that is because I have spare points to spend! 
 
I never understood the hype, and I don't understand what exactly disappoints you, all its flaws are beyond predictable.

I liked it when I thought the concept was supposed to be vertical cover, and not a flying game without an airplane. Now it's just giving me a very BC feel.

I called it a looong while ago..it kinda reminds me of that Iron man: the movie game. Interesting looking flight but horrible mission objectives and janky combat.

Yeahh... Let the Japanese make Capcom games. They seem to know how to make games that appeal to the western market more then the western developed ones do.

I just played the demo, and it didn't strike me as a good game at all. Pretty mediocre if you ask me.

I just don't understand how it went from vertical combat to Crimson Skies. But after watching the quicklook it didn't look terrible to me I am just gonna go home and play the demo.

What do you mean "you don't understand"?  it's from the Crimson Skies guys! "

The only thing that interested me was the jet pack stuff. I couldn't care less about the rest of it.
 
This just makes me realize we need another Pilotwings, except open world.

Wherever the developers of Crimson Skies are (ex- FASA Studios), they should make a game like this.  
 
I still think it looks really awesome though. Worth a buy when it gets to the bargain bin.

" Wow, some people are so quick to jump to conclusions!  I thought demo was fun and the flying controls weren't that bad(better than Iron Man that's for sure).  I might be in the minority here but it sounded like Jeff liked it in the QL so it can't be all that bad.  "

WHY SO MUCH HATE FOR BIONIC COMMANDO?! 
 
Seriously, that game was a good game.  Maybe you sissies need to kick up the difficulty setting a couple notches and learn how tough as nails and ballin' ass sick that game was!  Even the multiplayer was fun, although broken due to the rocket launcher having a homing function. 
 
Meanwhile, I had no interest in playing Dark Void the minute I realized it was basically Crimson Skies without planes...or even that many enemies.  Nonetheless, I'll rent it for some achievements...as well as to hear Nolan North jabber on.

ballin' ass sick

Played the demo again, pretty much the same opinion. I don't know what they were doing with the almost extra year they had of development. It's not a bad game, it's just mediocre in every way - design, graphics, gameplay, enemies, etc. 
 
By comparison, BC was a much better game. Although it has to be said, at least this DV demo gives you a proper idea of what the game is about, the BC demo is a textbook case of what not to do with a demo - buggy, laggy, multiplayer only, no instructions demo. That surely cost BC a ton of sales.

yep its bad...and who does capcom blame? not them selves for stupid concepts, and not for picking bad western developers, but western developers as a whole....some how its western developers as a wholes fault.

I, from this point on, will refer to decent games in this fashion. "

I never got hyped for this game for some odd reason.  The idea was neat but no way was it going to be easy to pull off right.  I doubt it would have made a difference if it was a eastern or western developer.

The Quick Look looked really fun... D: I might just have to try the demo out myself.
