Really unappealing character. Why does he look so meh compared to the last guy? And what's with the brutal cuts, is this MTV or a video game promotional video?

I get that it's marketing, and I get that they're attempting to be dramatic, but mostly they come off as people a little too enthusiastic about describing their DnD character...

I enjoyed Darksiders and I have hopes for this game, but to be fair I prefer my Death liking cats, talking in all caps, and prepared to murder a curry.

I know it's a video game and all, but I'd love to play as pestilence.

A snarky, decaying, wheezing, obese monster melting the flesh of his enemies.

I like their idea of death being animal like in his combat kills and the way he gets around.

I wonder what play style Conquest and Famine are like if they ever do them?

Guys the other 2 horsemen in the Darksiders universe are called Strife and Fury. They, along with Death were concepted prior to production on the first Darksiders along with War. At least that's what the devs have said in interviews prior. But anyway D2 is looking fucking bad ass, loved the first game.

I'm not a fan of the design of the character.

Also, that grown ass man had braces.

Wait... Death lives? Seriously? That's the tag line?

I don't know whether I'm now in love with the game or I despise it to it's very core, but it's definitely one or the other

So i'm guessing when they designed Death they asked a 12 year old metal head what's awesome; very uninspired design.

Discworld references in my Giant Bomb? I'm down with that. Also, I really enjoyed Darksiders, and am looking forward to this, but I kinda wish they'd gone with a different horseman. Death seems the obvious choice, and I think it'd be cooler to see a take on one of the other two.

That character design is a pretty big step down from War, even more so when you consider this is Death. They're talking about him being the ultimate bad ass, and he looks like a low level enemy.

I'm definitely looking forward to this, Darksiders was one of my favorite games in the last few years. It looks like they are really focusing on the two parts of the first game that needed the most work too by (from the sound of it) significantly expanding the hub area and added more depth to the combat. The only real concern I might have for this game is I hope these improvements don't come at the cost of less focus on Zelda-inspired dungeons and puzzles (especially since the puzzles in the first one were far more clever than the average puzzle in newer Zelda games in my opinion).

I don't think Death looks bad. I just think he should have a black cloak or something. Maybe it'll be a thing you get halfway through the game. Or something, I dunno

Also, I believe that it was Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman in Good Omens that said (essentially) that all the other horsemen would eventually be obsolete. There would someday be a world without war, without famine, without pestilence...but there would always be Death.

PUMPED.

I played through Darksiders on the PS3 and later on PC and loved every minute of it.
Bigger world, more story, more active protagonist.
No reason for me not to pick this up.
 
As far as the character desig goes Death in Darksiders has had that design since the first game.

You can see him transform into a robed wraithlike figure at one point during the video.
Seems like robes are his "demon mode"

THAT IS THE BEST DEATH. I REALLY HOPE THAT DEATH'S HORSE IS NAMED BINKY BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME.

He's had the same basic design, the long hair, the mask, and the raven. But they've changed a lot of the smaller details.

Can't wait for this, Dakrsiders was a FANTASTIC game. One of my top 10 or 15 games of all time probably.
