Capcom: Darkv Void made to avoid ODST, delay put "to good use"

Christian Svensson of Capcom admits that they delayed Dark Void from September this January solely because Halo 3: ODST was launching.

They didn’t want it crushed, understandably. Those ”extra couple months” weren’t wasted though, they got ”PhysX integration” for PC.

”They’re like, ‘ta-da, we’re shipping, I don’t know, I forget what it was, September 27 or whatever’ and we said, ‘okay, sounds like a perfect time to move Dark Void!” community man Svensson told G4TV, unashamed of their tactical retreat from 2009.

”Truthfully, we put the extra couple months” to good use, he explained. ”We did the PhysX integration on the PC side of things; some of that stuff was not necessarily going to be there at launch, now it is. We put that time to good use, for sure.”

Dark Void is releasing on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC January 22nd in Europe.
