This Darksiders II Trailer Is Downright Apocalyptic

@TaliciaDragonsong: haha yeah..man book five...

I'll say no more about it other then...oh man...

The only way to escape death it to take the black and live out your days on the wall, Snow.

@TheSouthernDandy: Duly noted, I will continue right away!

Hey why isn't lord commander mormont beyond the wall with his men?

Hell yeah grimdark Zelda part 2 heaven or hell let's rock.

That chandelier had light bulbs while the walls had candles. :|

Chuckled to myself when I saw that, what an unbelievably obvious mistake.

EDIT: As some have pointed out, seems the setting is more modern than it seemed on first viewing. My mistake.

Hot damn Vigil know how to make their protagonists seem awesome. August is a great time for this game, it'll be one of the first proper games to come off the back of the Summer.

Are you sure it was an "obvious mistake"? It's a modern day church. Makes perfect sense that some of the lighting would be electrical, even if they're primarily making use of candles -- I imagine there isn't much power coming through the lines during the apocalypse.

I wish Death looked less like a heavy metal "badass" and more like a gaunt representation of the motherfucking end of eternity.

@EchoEcho: Ah yes, I see now. Didn't realize the backdrop of a modern setting on first viewing, thanks.

Not sure whether or not I'll be getting this, but this trailer is fantastic.

How are there live people in this trailer if in the first Darksiders when War goes back to earth to set everything right, Mark Hamill's character tells you its been something like a thousand years since the last of the humans were alive. I guess what I am saying is is this supposed to be a prequel?

Dude in this video claims that it's set in parallel with the timeline of the first game during the 100 years of War's imprisonment. Skip to 1:50 for the awkward explanation.

The game takes place in the 21st century. Also, back-up generators.

Wasn't the whole deal of Darksiders 1 is that War comes back a century after all humans have died out?

Yes. I think.

The first Darksiders starts off right during the Apocalypse, it's when War is summoned, his summoning is what is needed to kick-start the end of days in the first place, so he is very much present at the time.

The bulk of the first game however is played long after the Apocalypse. War is imprisoned stripped of his powers and comes back to investigate and shit.

As far as Darksiders 2 goes some of it will indeed be set prior to the first game, tho the game designers hinted that some events will be concurrent as well.

Still haven't played the first :(

There was bunch of CGI outside that church.

Game of Thrones / Darksiders crossover? SIGN ME UP!

Nothing sounds more sinister than facebook.com

Oh man so much gameplay in this trailer, I love it!!

You know, Quick Looks and Mailbags are one thing, but I don't feel like watching an ad before I watch an ad. I'm off to YouTube, my adblocker takes care of them over there. :P

Anyone else noticed the lightbulbs at 0:22 nice touch ;)
