It looks like a PS2/Xbox era game on current-gen consoles. A willing participant who is also a robot. When he beats up a guy, it looks like he’s rehearsing a dance move with a willing participant. When he sucks a guys’ blood, we see no actual blood. If it wasn’t for that, the gameplay on show in all the trailers would look fantastic.

There appears to be a Deus Ex: Human Revolution level x1.5 quality to the gameplay, with many paths on show and (most excitingly) a couple of enemy factions at each others throat mid-gameplay. It is a game where players sneak and use limited, yet dangerous powers to circumvent and defeat enemies.Ī particularly exciting aspect of the GamesRadar demo was some of the levels on show. It is game where the player uses guns or gadgets. They emphasise that in the video- Dark is not a third person shooter. We saw a hub nightclub, a dialogue-choice system, a pretty open level, a some cool powers.ĭark is a third person stealth game.

And while the game looked a bit clunky, on the whole it was pretty exciting stuff. The video featured twenty minutes of late-Alpha gameplay footage with an interview over the top. One of Dark’s original gameplay watersheds was a brilliant, lengthy video preview by GamesRadar. We’ll have to wait and see on that front. The plot of the game revolves around trying to discover why it happened to him, although there also appears to be a backdrop of a vampiric faction war or something, too. Bane is sired as a vampire without his consent, and due to short-term amnesia, without his knowledge. His name is even a blend of some stereotypical “cool guy badass”ones. In Dark, players assume the role of one Eric Bane, a newly-blooded unwilling vampire who is completely generic and nondescript. It shows a lot of parallels with other games in its third-person supernatural stealth mechanics, but it’s not clear yet how effectively the mechanics, the story, or the game’s non-triple-A budget will come together. Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios’ new vampire stealth game, Dark, due for release this summer on XBLA, seems to be very different things in every different trailer.
