Dark Void Developer Diary: Jetpack Joy

Airtight Games' latest Dark Void developer diary explains that its jetpack is delightfully not your usual smooth, clinical, boring video game jetpack, rather "It feels like you've just strapped a 30lb rocket to your back, and when you hit the 'go' button there's that moment of chaos where your arms and legs are flailing and you- you take off." Marvellous.

Publisher Capcom has yet to announce a release date for Dark Void, which is being developed for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Like the flying, still not sold on the vertical combat. It looks like the gunplay is a little too stop and pop in those sections. It's like a FPS with movement aspect greatly reduced.

It certainly looks promising, but yet again they've decided to spend too much time showing video of the devs, instead of using that time to show actual gameplay.

I don't care what these people look like. I just want to see the game.

Did Morgan just call the combat "being in the center of a chaotic mess," but mean it really positively?

The Tribes series did this years ago and it truly is amazing. However tribes pulled it off much better than this from the looks of it

It actually looks great, just hope the PC release is stable.

I like the idea of being able to upgrade the jetpack and steal technology. It should hopefully mean a good progression for the game and the story.
