This Latest Darksiders II Trailer Is All Gameplay, All the Time

I don't know what it says about the current state of video game marketing that an all-gameplay trailer feels somehow refreshing. Oh well, at least it's a cool trailer.

I'm glad we have devs like this who realize that there is still demand for single player only games that have 30+ hours of gameplay.

Considering the last 3 trailers have only shown CG stuff that won't be in the game then sure is "refreshing" is being a while since I see a full CG trailer actually, AC3 probably is the closest.

I don't know if I'd call that trailer "all gameplay." All in-engine, maybe, but that was at least half cutscenes and cinematic camera angles.

Calling it: Darksiders 3 will feature four player co-op, each player controlling a different horseman.

I pre-ordered this game. I never pre-order games. I think it has a lot to do with the drought we've been having, but also the fact that this game looks pretty tight. We'll see.

Pretty pumped to kick the shit out of War. On another note, I think that the character design for Death is a lot better than it was for War.

I'm into this. I wonder how that WiiU version will turn out? If this game is so loot-heavy like they've said, I wonder if I should just wait for that....

Sounds like it to me.  He voiced Azrael in the first game, though he sounds a little gruffer in this.

Downloaded the first Darksiders a couple months back. I really need to sit and play that before this comes out.

@asantosbr: I think the important thing is they're showing the graphics as they'll actually appear, unlike, say, Assassin's Creed III. I feel the need to explain that to anyone around every time I see those ads on TV. I rescind your fail for you so don't worry about it. I also accept your apology.

Picked up a pre-order for this for $37 the other day on Green Man Gaming. So stocked, especially considering how great the first game is.

I loved the first one soo much that I have to buy this .Ya know I've noticed that the first Darksiders is getting a lot more love now, than when it came out because of the whole zelda rip off thing which is nice.

So while I'm excited for this game, I've only played like an hour of the first one and am not really digging it. Don't like the feel of the combat, and the arbitrary nature of some of the level design. Should I stick with it?

Ugh. This game makes me angry at myself. I want to play it, but man I hate oversized weapons. Something about the art style of this series just makes me recoil -- but I hear it plays like Zelda, which basically means it's awesome. What's a gamer to do?

Was already exited for this, but this trailer was probably the first trailer to get my body ready, and now I need it.

@GERALTITUDE: I had the exact same response to the first game, but pretty much all of that melted away when I started solving puzzles in the first dungeon and realised how appealing a Zelda game uninhibited by Nintendo's design philosophy could be.

This game can look as much like an Iron Maiden album cover as it wants just as long as the gameplay remains quality.

This game evokes "old school" action gameplay mechanics in a larger world with all the neat additions I could want in a next gen title. Namely a loot and skill system, which enhances how you approach fights in this game.

Pre-rendered cutscenes are so stupid. I don't know why anybody gets excited over those. THIS, i guess (trailers are still stupid for video games) is better.

Well you should probably know that Ono sort of/maybe/kind of confirmed a new DarkStalkers at SDCC. He used to ask people to raise their hands with money to show their support for a new DarkStalkers game. This year he said they didn't need to do that, but it was in a good way. So...maybe we'll see a new one.

I just realized how Brutal Legend this game looks , but it looks kinda juvenile compared to BL because it takes itself too serious.

I thought it sounded like Sean Pertwee, but you are probably correct.
