I had completely forgotten about the first game...

" PSYCHED!  I'm worried about Digital Extremes being on the project, as they don't have the greatest of track records.  Suffice it to say, the first game's overall gameplay was pretty stiff, but that's not why people played it.  You played the first game because the story, narrative, and characterization were fucking PHENOMENAL, and the twist mid-game was goddamn brutal and emotionally charge.  Here's to hoping for a bomb-ass game. "

Really enjoyed the first Darkness, had given up hope of there being a sequel. New developer makes me cautious, but I'll wait and see how things look

definitely weary of the developer switch too, the first game was so fucking good and starbreeze generally makes good stuff.

I can see why Bras Nicolson may like the Darkness.

I adored the first Darkness and am will to give this a shot even if it is a different dev team. Hopefully they know what made the first game great.

Shit yeah.

The first one was excellent.  It even had working mirrors.  I will remain cautiously optimistic.  Digital Extreme does not have a history of making good games.

So, why isn't Starbreeze picking up where Starbreeze left off? Eh? Eh!?

Well, I love the plot so far.  i think thats a great approach to focus on the Darkness itself.  The first was a real sleeper hit, and one of the more impressive games for its time.  I hope this can live up to that, but its not going to have the shock value of "i really wast expecting this to be such a great game" going for it this time around.  Its one of the better and prob underrated  IPs out there so I hope they treat it like it deserves.

No Starbreeze? No thanks!

if I could like this like on facebook I would.

I'm always down for more of The Darkness, original was great.

The 1st one was epic and was like playing the role of the main character through a gripping movie, The storyline and Jackie Estacado’s quotes were what made this game great! i still have the 1st game installed on my Xbox harddrive and i still play through it from start to finish!
Great news for the 2nd i cant wait and hope its just as good as the 1st one!

" No Starbreeze? No thanks! "

I don't remember the first one being any good. but that's just me. Maybe i should give it a second chance?

Meh.

Hmmm

I thought the first one was ok, looking forward to see how this turns out.

Digital Extremes? 
Digital Extremes?!?  
 
Original developers were too busy with eating meatballs or something?
 
Me being a Starbreeze Studios fan and having a recollection Dark Sector being not so good this news doesnt sound all that good eventhough Darkness II sounds good as I really liked the original. Hopefully this sequel will contain the minor diversions from normal fps action with talking to citizens and doing liltte sidequests for them.

The first one was so incredible with the sound work & Mike Patton. Will have to wait & see on this sequel. If anyone is curious to play the first one it should be quite cheap by now (< $10).

I still need to finish the first one. It's probably not going to happen with the backlog of better games I have to play.

" I still need to finish the first one. It's probably not going to happen with the backlog of better games I have to play. "

I wonder if Mike Patton is releasing a coinciding "soundtrack" with the game. 75 minutes of throat-gurgling and yelping.
