E3 2009 Interview: Dark Void
Rocket out of the void and save a group of stranded humans from an alien force in Dark Void.
Overview
Dark Void is a third-person action game that combines a cover system influenced by Gears of War and flying segments from the developers' seminal franchise, Crimson Skies. Reminiscent of the film The Rocketeer, Dark Void also allows the player to fly through the use of jet packs. There is currently no multiplayer support.Plot
The story follows a cargo ship pilot named Will Grey. While traveling through the Bermuda Triangle, he gets transported to a different dimension inhabited by a race of hostile aliens, called The Watchers. He meets with other humans, including the scientist Nikola Tesla (creator of the Tesla coil) who have came to this dimension through other world triangles, and have also been trapped in the alien dimension. Teaming up with these allies, Will makes a bid to stay alive and get back home.Nikola Tesla has been trapped in the alien void for quite some time, and has used this time to develop the jet pack that is used by the main character, Will, throughout the game.
Gameplay
Dark Void is a third person shooter in which players must make extensive use of cover to engage enemies, but it adds new elements to the third-person shooter genre; your character will obtain a hover pack in the game, and, though it is not possible to fly using the hover pack due to a lack of fuel, it is possible for Will to make large jumps over and around cover to shoot at opponents. Later in the game, Will acquires a jet pack (with mounted guns), allowing him to fly. While the jet pack can be used at any given time, one's surroundings must be taken into consideration - making contact with a wall or roof while flying results in instant death. One of the more exciting elements is "vertical cover." In the game, players come to locations where they have to fight their way up or possibly down; for example, descending a canyon wall or climbing a large tower. Players will be able to hang under ledges and shoot upward at enemies on neighboring ledges. At times, players will lose their grip on ledges they are climbing, forcing them into a mini-game in which players have to tap buttons to regain their grip.At points in the game, players will be able to hijack airborne alien ships. In order to gain control of the ship, players must engage in a mini-game to kick the pilot out and reach the controls.
