]]>Keiji Inafune isn't a man of few words and speaking to Joystiq, he discussed why Capcom's attempt to push original IPs in the past had met with very little commercial and critical success.
]]>The weekend is almost here - at least in the US. You UK folks are already drinking cider, and the like. Instead of pouting and throwing ourselves to the floor in a bitter fit, we'll be nice as post some small news bits.
]]>Black Friday sales are everywhere today, and we've just got wind of some more deals for PC players.

]]>Capcom has sent word that Dark Void will be getting some DLC next week on PS3 and Xbox 360.

]]>Look. Can you just stop talking about videogames, publishers of the world? Just in case you'd forgotten Dark Void's out on January 22, Capcom's stuck out a video of the game's protagonist shooting things. A lot.
Watch it after the break.
There's air-to-air shooting and air-to-ground shooting. There's also plenty of dodging on display. Looks pretty good, to be fair.
PC, PS3 and 360, developed by Airtight.
]]>Capcom's released a new Dark Void video, showing how our protagonist Will "takes care" of the Watchers.
Looks like there will be loads of different ways to dispatch your enemies, which is good because everybody likes variety.
Head on over to Capcom-Unity for more, and watch the video below the break.
]]>Capcom may have released the final "cinematic" video for Dark Void earlier in the week, but that has not stopped it from releasing another video - this time showing of the "mysterious alternate dimension" known as The Void.
Posted below the break, the video highlights the environments included in the sci-fi shooter, and it looks like a rather interesting place.
Game's out in January.
]]>Capcom has announced that Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B, has picked up the movie rights to Dark Void - a game that is not even out yet.
It will even "potentially" star the man himself.
Oh yeah - and the game has been delayed a week.
Good gravy.
Full PR below the break.
]]>Videogaming news on the internet appears to have ground to a halt today, so here's some new Dark Void art. Get it after the break.
It's the first we've seen on the game since GamesCom. Looks as though sack cloth is en vogue dans le Void, non?
The Airtight adventure still has no date.
]]>Capcom wants you to get a gold jetpack for Dark Void when you preorder from GameStop.
There is even a special website set up here, and a video parody making fun of Cash for Gold commercials while telling you all about the deal.

Press release through the break.
]]>Capcom's released a decent-sized dev diary of Airtight's Dark Void, featuring a distinctly older-looking Keiji Inafune and showing a good chunk of CG and in-game footage. It's after the break.
Story - You play a pilot that slips through "the Void" into a parallel dimension. Think Bermuda Triangle.
Looking good. More from E3.
]]>Battlestar Galactica composer Bear McCreary has signed on with Capcom to pen Dark Void's score.
The upcoming action-shooter's McCreary first game, and he's very excited.
“When I got the call from Capcom to work on the music for Dark Void, I jumped at the chance to do it, considering my love for Capcom games,” he said.
“I have been looking for the opportunity to compose a game score for a long time, but I’ve been waiting for the right one. Dark Void’s epic story and unique gameplay drew me in immediately and I have had a lot of fun working on the project.”
Game's out this year for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Press release posted below.
]]>Capcom's put the site live for Dark Void, the upcoming Ed Fries sci-fi thing.
The Airtight game's a mix of "fast-paced vertical combat mixed with on-foot action," apparently, and is planned for PC, 360 and PS3.
Thanks, Kotaku. Movie after the break.
]]>Capcom has put out some new footage for Airtight Game's Dark Void.
You see this huge mech with massive guns hunt your player down as you whizz about the place with a jet-pack strapped to your back.
It's all very action-packed.
Game's due out this year for PC, 360 and PS3.
Take a look.

]]>After the break you can see a gameplay walkthrough from producer Morgan Gray for Capcom's new action adventure game, Dark Void.
It's a third-person, duck and cover shooter by the looks of things, but if done right, that's no bad thing at all.
If that wasn't enough, Gamespot's got loads of new images for you to gawp at too.
Dark Void is pencilled in for "2009" for PC, 360 and PS3.
By Mike Bowden
]]>We're not that bothered about missing E3 this year, but we do wish we were going to Comic Con. Capcom's detailed its showing at the San Diego event, taking place just after E3, and it sounds "fun". Aside from the enjoyable aspect, the firm's promising an exclusive Resident Evil 5 trailer, so that's a good enough reason to not let your guard down after E3.
]]>After the break. The Capcom shooter's been a bit of a mystery since it was announced at the end of last year, but looks to be shaping up nicely. It should be out in 2008, God willing. Take a look.
