BlackSite: Area 51 Goes Gold, Retails One Week Late

Midway Studios Austin's alien-infested shooter BlackSite: Area 51 (PC, PS3, X360) has gone gold, Midway announced today. The game retails for PC and Xbox 360 November 12, a week later than expected, with the PlayStation 3 version following some time in December. Along with Midway's John Woo Presents: Stranglehold (PC, PS3, X360), the PS3 version of BlackSite was delayed due to problems with using the Unreal Engine 3 on Sony's platform. Though a demo for the game has already hit Xbox Live, Midway promises a second demo will be arriving soon, with a demo for PS3 gamers coming to the PlayStation Network as well.

I wonder if since this game was pushed back only one week, if it will have as many bugs as Hellgate.

I enjoyed the first demo, although it was a little rough round the edges. That trailer has totally sold me on it though, looks awesome - sometimes you just want to fire ridiculous guns at huge aliens ya know?

I don't know why, but the video looks like how HL1 would have looked if it came out this year, with 'next gen' graphics, but the same game design. I don't know if that's a complement or not yet though..

I don't have particularly high hopes for this game but will play and probably enjoy it if it ends up being solid. Of course everybody will label it garbage if it's not "the next big thing" as seems to be the trend lately. Nobody has any love for the average to above average yet fun FPS' anymore :-(
