Damnation Gets Pushed Back To 2009 |
Here is just one more game that will be getting pushed back due to the flood that is already starting to hit and from what i read here it sounds like there not even going to try to lock horns with Gears of War 2 even though the games are not all that similar.
Codemasters has told Eurogamer the following: PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 demos will appear roughly a month before launch.
"Damnation is being rescheduled for an early 2009 release," a Codemasters spokesperson told us.
"The game will be much stronger and better as a result, and will also give people time to get all the pre-holiday releases out the way - ready for the fresh (and vertical) gaming experience that Damnation offers."
The most threatening of those "pre-holiday releases" will be Gears of War 2, as Damnation shares the same Unreal Engine 3 foundation and rather similar visuals and mechanics as a result.
But there are differences; Damnation ditches a cover system in favour of vertical gameplay, where players climb up buildings, leap between ledges and slide down zip wires during battle. Pace has replaced patience.
The setting is a steampunk alternate history of the American Civil war, and the levels have opened into giant three hour-long treks and course-planning puzzles, where the goal can be seen from the outset, and vice versa. And there are motorbikes - ones that can ride along walls.
The tactical rescheduling also moves Damnation away from Call of Duty: World at War, Resistance 2 and Left 4 Dead. But February 2009 happens to harbour Killzone 2 and to a lesser extent F.E.A.R. 2, which will present problems of their own.
