DARKSTAR FINALLY SEES RELEASE DATE CONFIRMATION: PC/MAC HYBRID VERSION
TO HIT UK/IRISH RETAIL STILL IN DECEMBER 2011

Brighton, November 14th, 2011 – Darkstar – The Interactive Movie is
now scheduled to start appearing on the shelves of UK and Irish
retailers by December 09th, 2011. Darkstar – The Interactive Movie
just received a PEGI age clearance for people aged 16 years or older.

Darkstar is set in the post-apocalyptic future in the year 2499.
Captain John O’Neil awakens from cryogenic sleep aboard the lost and
damaged starship Westwick. The ships’ computer voice informs O’Neil
that he has been asleep for over 312 years, such a long time that his
memories are gone—a side effect of being in hibernation centuries too
long. A breath-taking journey through space and time begins as the
player explores the haunted starship searching for answers and clues as
to what the true mission is. Backstory cinema is unlocked as areas are
unlocked and made accessible, and the epic story unfolds on this
drifting and broken starship somewhere on the other side of the Galaxy
as it orbits a strange, alien planet. Players must utilize their wits
and ingenuity to discover what has happened to the Earth, the starship,
and its crew. They must find out what has happened to O’Neil’s
partner Ross Perryman, why Pilot Paige Palmer still slumbers in her
cryo-chamber and who savagely murdered Navigator Alan Burk during his
long session in suspended animation. O’Neil soon discovers that the
Earth has been destroyed and the crew of the Westwick are the sole
surviving members of the human race…or are they?

Darkstar, both an adventure game and an interactive movie, features
more than 13 hours of Full Motion Video sequences to tell its amazing
story. More animated footage than any other game in history is packed
into this adventure with over two-dozen exhilarating alternate endings.
The cast of live actors features Clive Robertson starring Captain John
O’Neil (Sunset Beach/StarHunter), as well as the original cast of the
American cult television comedy series “Mystery Science Theater
3000”, including Trace Beaulieu, Beth “Beez” McKeever, Joel
Hodgson, Mary Jo Pehl, Frank Conniff and J. Elvis Weinstein. Darkstar is
narrated by the late, great Peter Graves (Mission:
Impossible/Airplane/A&E’s Biography Series), his final performance.

Darkstar combines the best of the adventure game genre with science
fiction filmmaking in this ground-breaking production. With elements of
dark humor, horror, and classic sci-fi, Darkstar introduces you to
live-action characters in a pre-rendered, fully animated storytelling
tool that allows you to wander, search, discover, and enjoy this
refreshing and strange world at your own pace.

Da hab ich nen merkwürdiges Gefühl bei...

Naja, nach den bisherigen Rückmeldungen zum Spiel hab ich das Interesse verloren...

[JackVanian]

Da kann ich dich gut verstehen, Kosh.
Ich habe das Spiel angefangen zu spielen, aber habe es schnell abgebrochen. Ich fand es furchtbar!
Man merkt dem Spiel mehr als deutlich an, dass der Entwickler eigentlich kein Game Designer ist, denn das Design ist zum Davonrennen.
Eigentlich würde ich mich über einen neuen FMV-Titel sehr freuen, aber Darkstar erinnert mich genau an die Sorte Spiel wegen dem dieses Medium leider ungerechtfertigerweise untergegangen ist.

Ich hab am Anfang auch recht lang gebraucht zum warm werden, aber als die Story dann mal ins Rollen kam, fand ich das Ding eigentlich ziemlich gut. Aber ich fand auch Daedalus Encounter ziemlich gut (an was mich der Titel immer noch recht erinnert).

Eigentlich würde ich mich über einen neuen FMV-Titel sehr freuen

Dito!

Darkstar ist am Ende wohl mehr ein Kunstprojekt geworden

[basti007]

Als das war es allerdings auch immer angelegt, muss man fairerweise dazu sagen.
