Several former employees at Blue Omega, developers behind the recent Damnation, have confirmed with Kotaku today that the entire dev team has been laid off following "issues" with Codemasters, Damnation's publishers. More »

Damnation hits store shelves tomorrow everywhere but North America, and to celebrate Codemasters has released a new multiplayer trailer to show us Americans what we'll be missing. More »

After my last look at Damnation, I wasn't totally convinced that Damnation was really a Steampunk game on account of there being no zeppelins or frilly Victorian dresses. More »

Building the vertical-oriented worlds found in Blue Omega's Damnation takes a great deal more effort than simply plotting out points on graph paper. More »

Codemasters has released 10 new screenshots of their upcoming alternate-history shooter Damnation, serving up a heapin' helping of that Western steampunk style. More »

Last Thursday's Codemasters event had some major pluses and minuses. I'm counting Overlord II as a plus – and all three times the speakers blew out as minuses. More »

Damnation is looking nothing like the buggy, crash-prone demo I saw at the Penny Arcade Expo last summer – thank goodness, too; the release date is right around the corner. More »

Times have sure changed from when I was a kid. Back when I was growing up, Russia was an evil empire hell bent on my country's destruction, but now I've grown up, and the rest of the world has grown up, and Russia is just another big area filled with potential gamers. Gamers Codemasters is planning on catering to as they announce full Russian language localization for three of their biggest titles - Rise of the Argonauts, Damnation, and Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.

Yesterday we reported on the delay of Codemasters' action RPG Rise of the Argonauts to "hopefully before the holidays", and now another Codies title is being wisely held back in the face of the holiday rush. Blue Omega's vertical steampunk shooter Damnation will now see release in early 2009. More »

Another Penny Arcade Expo come and gone and I find myself on my couch trying to remember the games I saw, the things I did and the people I talked over the last three days. I can sort out the panels from the events and the events from the experience – but beneath all of that is the most important part of PAX – the part that you want to hear about: the games. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5044055&view=rss&microfeed=true Here's the first trailer and some new screens from Damnation, Blue Omega's vertical acrobatic steampunk shooter I gushed fairly strongly about after playing at E3 last month. The video doesn't do the game justice, an issue I am afraid is going to continue until some sort of public demo is released. You have to touch it to really feel it. More »

The best thing about going to E3 are the little surprises - games you either didn't know about or hadn't paid attention to that simply knock you off your feet. Blue Omega Games' Damnation is just that sort of game. Due to be published by Codemasters for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, Damnation combines third-person shooting with acrobatics in a unique steampunk setting to create a game that has amazing potential, both online and off.

Codemasters have announced development of Damnation, a Steampunk-themed shooter set during an alternate-history version of the US Civil War. Currently in development at Blue Omega (who came second with the project in 2005's Unreal Mod tourney), the game will feature a "post-industrial conflict between humanity and an unstoppable arms dealer", and is described as a "shooter gone vertical" (screens show a lot of urban fighting between tall buildings). It's due on 360, PS3 and PC at the end of the year. And...that's about all we know, so until we know something more, check out the screens below. More »
