All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen bring's us the 26th AAG "The Week That Was". This week he discusses Nintendo's promotion of the Wii's online functionality, Microsoft's proposed deal with ESPN, the Mass Effect 2 Limited Edition console, the PS3's motion controller, the reported sexual assault on Playstion Home and more.
"With the launch of Capcom Entertainment’s Science-Fiction Action/Adventure videogame, Dark Void, just around the corner, Capcom is giving PC gamers the chance to try out the PC version prior to release. Exclusive to the PC version is the extensive use of NVIDIA PhysX and APEX technologies delivering stunning in-game physics."
"With the launch of Capcom’s Science-Fiction third-person Shooter, Dark Void, right around the corner, Capcom is giving gamers a chance to experience the void for themselves this week with a downloadable demo coming to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network."
""Although the cast isn’t too large, here you’ll find details on each character. The game will be released on January 19th, 2010, for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.""
"Gamemakers aren't wasting any time in 2010 and have made the January-February-March quarter a kind of Christmas Part 2 with a wide variety of big releases across all genres and platforms. Dark Void, MAG, Mass Effect 2 and BioShock 2 only scratch the surface of what 2010 has to offer. To dig deeper you can find an expanded list of many of this year's releases right here."
Amazon.com put out an updated list of soon-to-be-released games for which it's giving out free $10 future game credit with purchase. Games eligible include MAG, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Army of Two: 40th Day, Dante's Inferno and several others.
Capcom intends to become a major international publisher by the end of the next fiscal year. Given all the titles that are being pushed back, they certainly have the resources to do so. But here's what their three-pronged strategy for success looks like.
"Grab your jetpacks and get ready to blast off as Capcom Entertainment has announced the launch of Jetpack Attack. A new game for all those gamers eagerly awaiting the forthcoming Dark Void, Jetpack Attack allows you to create you own 2D adventure."
"The new boost upgrade will make you an unstoppable master of the skies – fly faster, avoid enemy fire, run down your foes and own the battlefield – all with unlimited turbo boost and special moves. This news follows last weeks’ announcement of a pre-order bonus for North American customers available exclusively through Gamestop."
Publisher Capcom has noted its latest property Dark Void will be delayed until Q1 2010 in order to "to avoid competition with releases of major titles of other companies."
The game was set to come out at the end of September, but will now not see the light of day until between January 1 and March 31, 2010. A rough hit, to be sure, but on the bright side the game should be even more polished and come with more content upon launch.
Capcom anticipates the game will sell two million copies ...
"Dark Void
CAPCOM’s Dark Void aka “the jetpack-game,” as Airtight Games developers affectionately refer to it, uses PhysX to create “realistic” jetpack, UFO, and spaceship physics. It also has the distinction of being “the first game to use dynamic, accurate smoke effects and smoke trails.” Dark Void uses a “vertical combat system” that brings the action off the ground, into the air, and back to the ground seamlessly, giving the player a particularly three-dimensional experience.

A regular old Capcom extravaganza is what we have going on over on Neoseeker, in light of their CAPTIVATE 09 press event yesterday.
Needless to say, if you are a fan of the company's stuff, we've got heaps of new content to check out -- trailers, news (Resident Evil remake remake, oh yeah), screenshots...nummers.

"There's no multiplayer mode planned for Capcom's Dark Void, director of design Kraig Kujawa has confirmed.
"We explored it, but there are so many huge features in this game, we really wanted to focus on making the most kick-ass, single-player features possible," Kujawa told Joystiq.
And when Kujawa said the team 'explored it,' he meant the team actually built a multiplayer mode. "We had multiplayer up and going," said designer Jose Perez.
"It was fun, and to be honest, we just could ..."
