dv2So you know how a couple of posts down I posted about how Borderlands is a great looking game but I was worried about it being released in such a crowded Fall lineup? Well I was about to do the same for Dark Void; but it looks that won't necessary anymore.

Out of all the delays we've seen recently, this one has to be the smartest. Dark Void would not only have been forgotten this Fall, but it may have been also forgotten in the "Okay the holiday rush is over, now what do I play?" season.

If the timing of this release is right, this game could be a huge hit. Dark Void is being developed by the guys responsible for the underrated and personally beloved Xbox title, Crimson Skies.  You are a dude with a jet-pack, and from what I played at E3 2009, that is a great combination.  Dark Void might also be one of the few delays that will truly benefit from some extra development time, because that E3 build had a headache inducing frame rate.  Here is a demonstration:

Is it official yet?  2010 is the new 1998 of video games?

    Aw man, I was waiting mostly for this game this fall, but it makes since to delay it till after the rush so that they can help pick up the sudden lull in games

    Depends, if in 2010 Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, as well as Half Life Episode 3...then it could very well be 1998.

    Taiko, Starcraft 2 has been coming out for going on a decade. It's never coming out.

    As far as this game goes, well I'm one to talk since I don't own a this-gen console, but it just looks like another shooter.

    It is for the better anyways. The idea of cliff side combat was broken when you can just avoid it, via flying over or to the top.

    What i don't understand is why you would climb the cliffs if you could just fly to the top or land on a platform, attack, and fly back off.

    This game looks great, I'm actually relieved it got delayed. It'll get more exposure in 2010 then it will competing with Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2.

    what would suck completely (even though it's extremely unlikely now) is if modern warfare 2 was delayed itself..to january. Me and my worrying.

    Thanks to Modern Warfare 2 and ODST, game development has turned into the battle of release dates.
