via Aeropause.com After a month off from the Ones to Watch, I am back to tell you all about the releases for the month of May on PC. Only one problem with that statement. There is not much to announce for the month of May on the PC. Out of what is being released, we have a grand total of four games that are worthy of the Ones to Watch label.
Codemasters has announced that Damnation, with a serious delay, will appear on May 22 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Originally, the game of Blue Omega needed to come out last year.
Codemasters have confirmed that, as part of their wider expansion strategy, they were looking to localise languages in certain emerging markets. Russia, the first on the list, will get full language support for all of Codemasters' 'AAA' games. IncGamers has more details.
Brutal Gamer writes - 'All I can really say is 'Wow' (no, not World of Warcraft, you idiot.) This morning I received a rather large email which within it contained the press release (which you can find after the break) and a bunch of new screen shots, both multiplayer and single player of Codemaster's upcoming steam-punk-vertigo-fanatic shooter Damnation'
Speaking to GAMER.tm, lead game designer Jacob Minkoff confirmed that both console versions of Damnation will be near identical when it's released this winter. No, was Minkoff's answer, when asked whether the game was being developed with a lead format in mind. All platforms will be identical, aside from platform-specific features like Achievements and Trophies.
Destructoid hands-on: We managed to get a peek at Damnation at E3 earlier this summer. We were glad that Codemasters had us over to check it out, but we were a bit bummed to see that it was a hands-off preview. Luckily we were finally able to get some hands-on time with Damnation at PAX. Damnation is set in a world that you might call an Orwellian alternate America. It has an early 1900's mostly-American feel, but there are also European elements and steampunk influences. The setting is unique to say the least. Keep your eye out on more of Damnation, coming to the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
