Looks absolutely fantastic. It's a shame they are focusing on multiplayer, though, as I doubt they'll pull it off.
-
LOL, Vin Disel.
Making a Vin Diesel character not only tolerable to observe but actually enjoyable to control must count as one of Starbreeze's greatest accomplishments.
:bow Riddick :bow2
-
Vin Diesel is awesome.

Pitch Black is a sick movie, stfu.

FUCK YES.
Everyone buy 10 copies.

It includes the original!
-
Riddick was the only moderately entertaining thing Vin Diesel ever did
Iron Giant
-
Hopefully Starbreeze will back in form. The Darkness was :-X
-
Oh come on, it wasn't that bad. At the very least, it was crazy atmospheric and had some neat ideas, if somewhat lacking in overall execution.

:piss Pitch Black :piss2

Pitch Black shits all over your small pubes.

WHERE IS MY FUCKING BLU RAY
-
The Darkness sucked big time and the ending is one of the worst things ever in a game
-
You guys have like bad taste and shit
-
Bleh, it's just a remake.
The 1st Riddick rocked though.
-

Wait, what? Are you defending The Darkness?
Parts of it. I know that isolating the good from the overall not-so-good is something that "gamers" aren't very good at, but it's actually not that weird.

You mean how The Darkness is just Riddick in a shitty ass comic setting? Yeah I agree. The Darkness is shit. Riddick is back!
-
The Darkness sucked.
Begins with an awesome chase sequence, and remains cool until you start walking on empty streets, and then you gain your powers and things start going downhill, till it reaches the WW1 bit, which was horrible, and then the ending that plays by itself.

Hello Mr. "I Don't Read the OP"
It's been known for a long time now that it's not a remake. The remade Butcher Bay is an unlockable after you beat the game. It's a full sequel.

he was in Saving Private Ryan :bow
:usacry

I almost rebought an Xbox for this game, then I was gonna get the PC version but it kept crashing, but I'm glad I waited for this.
Kinda not too happy about online MP-- throwaway MP modes seem to take away from single player campaigns in these kinds of games (i.e. games with campaign focus.) I felt like that happened with the Darkness.
Nonetheless, this will be hot. This game is the best thing Vin Diesel has ever done.
-
The Darkness was cool when it was shenmue with tentacles
Then you go to WWII hell and it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Starbreeze really blew it with that game.
-
--off screen headshots on you at random, killing you instantly
--enemies taking a fuck load of shots
--confusing level design with no markers
i played it at launch, so I don't remember everything that made it suck. those three in tandem killed it for me.
-
i love the original
want this

TRAILER!! :hyper
-
I am so pumped for this. I was always disappointed that I somehow missed out on it last gen.
Trailer looks awesome. :hyper
-
I'm gay for Vin Diesel. There. I said it.
:tauntaun
And yes, I'm actually looking forward to Fast and the Furious 4... :-*
-
I dunno, The Darkness contains the entire movie To Kill a Mockingbird, so if you never leave the first room and just watch the movie it might be kind of enjoyable.
