Really looking forward to this. Played some at PAX and was very into it, although the quad-wielding was difficult to pick up at first.
Looks like the 1/3rd stealth part of the game is gone. Hopefully all the ramped up gun gameplay will feel good instead of...well, how the last game felt.
The look of the games models and art reminds me about Borderlands.Was just about to post this. It's more subtle, though, it seems. I dig it.
Kinda disappointed Kirk Acevedo won't be returning, but at least the game will be in the running for a Northie.
They're doing more with Jenny? Awesome! Really looking forward to this now. The Jackie/Jenny stuff was by far the best part of the first game. :)
Not a fan of cel shaded graphics. Loved the first game, it had its flaws but it did make you feel like a bad ass when enemies feared you as tentacles ripped into the chests of enemies and threw them around.
With so many great games coming out this year I doubt I will be getting this.
For everyone complaining about the cel-shading, don't forget about the comic book origins of the IP. You have to admit it does at least make a little sense even if you aren't a fan of how it looks.
Lot of comments about the sort of comic-style look but I'm more worried about the colour. As in 'there's way too much of it'. The Darkness is the kind of game where having a limited colour scheme makes sense.
I really thought the Darkness was kind of a mediocre game. Hopefully this game will let you use the Darkness more and guns less. If I wanted to play a first person shooter I would play Black Ops.
My favourite part of the first game was when you stormed the mansion at the end. I remember walking up with pathway, not shooting a single bullet, ripping hearts out and heads off left and right, whipping people and lights and wreaking havoc.
If this game can instill that sense of power, I'm sold.
Looks like they've got some capable animators involved, upon first watch it seems like they've brought a darn sight more character to the movements than many can manage. Exaggerated too, couldn't ask for much more from a comic book adaptation.
I really enjoyed the first game for it's atmosphere, it really didn't feel like an awful lot like many other games out there (this could be starbreeze's stamp but I haven't played any of their other games) and they made good use of the first person perspective in storytelling, something this one looks to continue.
Mark me optimistic!
I enjoy the art style, but the over-the-top nature of, well, everything is a complete put-off. I understand that this is a trailer, but the trailer's telling me that they've lost that wonderfully mature, dark tone of the first title in favour of... superheroism?
didnt see any heart eating from the tentacles, sadly. Also i really hope that they dont throw in that awful mutliplayer that was in the first one, complete a bunch of achievements that I'll never get
Well, it doesn't look that bad but it seems they removed what made the original so great: the atmosphere.
I REALLY wish they had stuck with the original voice actor for Jackie. I love Nolan North, but he just doesn't seem right here.
