A Natural Tetralogy Seems to Be Emerging In Darksiders 2

So War entered the Cave of Wonders?

@Alphazero: the trailer seems to suggest that this game might take place concurrently with the first one

but then again, we're dealing with God stuff here, so anything goes.

However it goes: Very excited for the game. I loved the first one.

Anyone else can't view the video? Some "Stream not found" error.
 
 
@Alphazero:

yay!

Loved the first Darksiders and I hope this one is just as awesome. Only disappointment so far is the wait :(. Liking Death's voice more than War's so far.

 Oh my science, is that Michael Wincott's voice for death? Because that is awesome!

A Darksiders tetralogy would be amazing. I'm glad Darksiders was enough of a success to warrant further games.

Okay, you can't say, "Before time was born..." in the opening, only to follow it with, "War destroyed Earth before its designated hour...".

The "Hour" can't exist, if "Time" hasn't even been born yet.

Do you think I'm not paying attention, THQ? Do you think I don't care, THQ?

Very cool idea to go with a different horseman.

Wow, didnt expect that.  Hope its better then last game, there is alot of promise there.  So they going to give the other horsemen the shaft?  Cant see plague and pestilence being good main characters.

You might run into the other horsemen since it takes place at the same time War is doing his thing in the first game.

Worst art direction, ever.

Yes!! This is perfect, also every time I hear something about Darksiders I think of the Metallica song the four houseman.

Looks kinda cool. I never got around to playing the first Darksiders, though

This.  Definitely would LIKE to get excited about this, but it's hard since I never played the first one.

Looks great! I really like their art style.

I don't think it could be concurrent as Death, Famine, and Pestilence weren't released until War reached the end of the game...

yes, it's been confirmed that Darksiders II runs concurrently with the original's story. I was a little disappointed to hear that at first, but... dude, it's more Darksiders! I'm not complaining.

For those of you  who missed Deaths chaos mode its around 1:01 in the video. classic angel of death, doesn't look like it'll disappoint

Famine is hangry.

I should maybe play the Demo of the first game again and see if I can get into it. It seems like a decent series, well, it's not quite a series yet.

Wait what? You're molding to completely separate thoughts together. Before time was born, three kingdoms were created, one for the Angels, one for the Demons and a third kindgom for Man. Skip forward some eons and the kingdom of man is destroyed before it's ready to defend itself.

Wait...you if you are actually playing as Death himself then how would you die!?It would make no sense.

FUCKING STOKED!!

I'm having a hard time making it through the first Darksiders, I just get bored : / I want to like it I really do.

I caught that also, maybe time as in mankind's universe. Otherwise as Thomas of Aquinas would have pointed out..but there was only God then I believe, no angels or demons either. I'm pretty sure that you cannot have change without time, but I still can't figure out how science messes with 'something from nothing' Mind you, I only used Thomas because he is mentioned everytime I read a popular-ish science book on cosmology or such.

Gentlemen, allow me to explain this complex series of events using the aid of this before-timeline:

yes. yes. YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Your table could be more accurate in terms of ratio. It seems like the period between stuff starts and the apocalypse is 100 years.

But seriously good job.

Awesome! I was wondering if this was going to be announced at E3.

I really liked the first game, this one should turn out good. 
 
But maybe I am just remembering wrong, this seems to not work with the end of the first one. hrmmm

I could never get myself to pass the 1st hour of any Zelda games and I really enjoy the 1st DarkSider.

But I can't never remember the game's name quite right, I always get it confused with Darksector or the numerous tile that starts with Dark and S'something

Darksiders has one of the stupidest stories I've ever seen in a game and I sincerely worry about people who call it a "mature" Zelda because it's mature like Black Metal and Mountain Dew. Still, I ultimately thought it was a pretty fun game after I got past the first dungeon.

Looks awesome! First game was awesome and this also looks awesome.

But, didn't the ending of the first game imply:

That all of War's brothers were coming to earth?

I thought so.

Regardless, all I got to say after that trailer is FUCK YES.

Anyone getting a soul reaver vibe from Death? 
 
Sucks that they arent following the first games ending, looking forward to more stuff on this though!

if it's anything like the first game, I'm in

I'm so hyped for this.

I really liked Darksiders, but it's kind of weird to have a protagonist who's face does not animate.

The first game was incredible. This one is looking just as good. The voicework in these games is also astoundingly good.

This will be a day one purchase. Absolutely loved the first game!

THQ is quickly becoming a publisher that matters again.

I felt the same way. I love the art style and bought the art book; but the game just didn't do anything for me. Oh well.

Looks pretty cool, but I couldn't get into the first Darksiders at all. Played probably 70% of it, and it just didn't do anything for me.

Darksiders is amazing. Can I get some more of that please? Oh really? You're already working on it hm? Well here then, just take my money.

I wanna play as famine or pestilence.

@alternate said:

Selling "You play as Famine/Pestilence" is going to be harder for any successive sequels.

It's not Famine and Pestilence in this series. It's Strife and Fury. I wish they'd kept Famine and Pestilence. I can totally see Pestilence as a playable character with stuff like locust swarms and such. Strife and War, judging by their names, seem like they'd be really similar though.
