damnation

What does it mean when a game’s pushed into the next year, promising an “early release”? Apparently, it means a push five months into the New Year. But it’s a case of better late than never and we’ll forgive Codemasters if only Damnation comes out as good as its screenshots depict. May 22 is the date when this game takes birth on PC, PS3 and 360, and this has been confirmed by Codemasters. A baby of Blue Omega Entertainment, Damnation is a steampunked sci-fi shooter. To show that this time they mean business, Blue Omega has come out with a video (after jump) in which company’s lead designer Jacob Minkoff explains the designing process of game’s open world. Players are given a free hand in deciding about the best way of traveling through these vast acres of space to tackle the enemy. Minkoff adds:

Some will prefer to run straight at them with their trusty Railroad Spike Gun. Others would prefer to climb and leap right to the top, avoiding direct fire fights by sniping and raining down death from above.

Yeah we’d like that. We’d have liked that even more last year. Now someone please make sure this time they deliver. Here’s the video as promised.
