The Darkness II Amps Up... Pretty Much Everything

Looks cool.

nice this looks cool

More heart eating goodness?

Awesome!

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.

Damn...that kinda makes me want to go find a cheap copy of the first game.  Cool trailer.

Mike. Fucking. Patton.
 
/swoons

The look of the games models and art reminds me about Borderlands.

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.

Was that cel shaded or are my eyes bugging out?

The look of the games models and art reminds me about Borderlands.

Wow. This looks bad.
 
They pooped on everything Starbreeze did for the first game... featuring Nolan North as Jackie. What a disgrace.

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. :)

I don't like the new cell shaded look. Thumbs down

Loved the first one.  Cannot wait for this one. 
More creepy Mike Patton awesomeness.

I love how they bring back the original cast, but is ultimately somewhat weird. I still can't get over the fact that this isn't made by Starbreeze.

I liked the first one, hopefully this'll turn out great.

Whoa, the new look is really subtle, like visually it just looked improved from the first one but then you start to notice the cool comic book style shading they have going on. This game looks nuts.

Looking good. I like the somewhat cel-shaded look.

is it cel shaded?

Well, this also doesn't seem like a Darkness game.

wow! that was awesome!

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.

I'm still a bit skeptical, and even though it was a good trailer, I'm still not really digging the new style. 

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.

I'm sure I'm going to love this game but like the majority, I'm a little put off by the cel shading. The first game's art style was gorgeous, why change that?

DUDE 2012 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU 
There is no reason to be so excited but I am...
Damn.....

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 believe the backing track for this trailer is a song from The Black Angels. Thats pretty cool.

That looks pretty insanely awesome.

Holy shit, was that Willem Defoe?

loved the first one.

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.

I liked the first one 
hope the second one is even better. 
 
and lol at people complaining about Nolan North... he's in every games. you guys must be pretty angry. 
 
edit: wait, just saw that it wasn't starbreeze who were dev on the game ? mmm 

Cool. Loved the first one. I'm a little curious as to how the control scheme is going to work. Seems like shooting + controlling the darkness at the same time could be kind of hard to manage.

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!

Thank you Borderlands

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?

I'm currently playing through The Darkness and I'm fucking hyped for this. I want it nao.

The gunplay looks kinda bad.

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.

Looks cool, but I'd probably rather it stuck to the aesthetic of the original. 
 
Oh well. Mike Patton is still having super unsettling sex with my ears.

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.

Black Angels = New Justice for video game trailers...

I picked the 1st up on ebay for 99p about a year ago, i've still not played it. This looks a little dated and the trailer didnt exactly sell it that well. Will keep an eye on it though
