Trailer for Sin City-inspired third-person shooter The Dark Phantom

Pardis Game Studio has unveiled a trailer for The Dark Phantom, a neo-noir third-person shooter for the PC with a dark style inspired by movies like Sin City and Constantine. Developed using UDK tech, the game puts players in the shoes of the crime fighting masked amnesiac titular protagonist, who sets out to bring justice and defeat assorted villains in a fictional modern city.

The game boasts of destructible environments, motion blur, depth of field, lens flare, realistic weapon models and complex shading, while featuring cover-based shooting mechanics similar to Gears of War, and pits you against enemies with advanced AI who can do the same. There are also Bullet Tag (think Hitman: Absolution), Close Quarters Combat (CQC), unique boss fights and QTE elements to add a bit of variety to the gameplay. The developers have said that reaching a $450,000 stretch goal for their Kickstarter will let them bring the game to the Xbox 360 and PS3 as well, so go do your bit if this sounds like your kind of TPS.
