Video: BlackSite Area 51 Gameplay and Developer Interview

“Some secrets cannot be kept.”

Well, we’re certainly glad Gametrailers didn’t keep the two latest videos about Midway Games‘ BlackSite: Area 51 under wraps – it’d be criminal to keep something as jaw-dropping away from public view (not an understatement). The first video’s all about gameplay, and it pretty much shows how real BlackSite: Area 51 plays like. The chatter of your team-mates actually feel natural and hardly grates on the nerves, in fact giving you a sense of comfort that you’re not fighting this war alone (which is a good thing, considering the things you’ll be up against).

The graphics look astounding, with every object reacting to gunfire as they should. Your team responds to your every command convincingly and realistically, their personalities coming into play – watch out how one of your mates try to kick a door down, and failing that, he blows it open with an explosive charge – and how everything is done is just so seamlessly, you’re left wondering just what can happen at any given point of time in the game.

The developer interview is pretty much a gameplay video in itself as well, but with an informative voiceover courtesy of Executive Creative Director of Midway Games Harvey Smith. It’s a more visceral playthrough of the game, and Harvey Smith gives a lot of details away about the game, as well as explaining most of the game’s features. We won’t spoil it all for you, again, so here are the videos. Enjoy!

The developer interview after the jump!
