I think they're talking about the Spawn reject on the cover. I'm sure the game will be good.

Darksiders is a pretty cool Zelda clone.

Enslaved though.....ugh. I remember when the demo hit and people were ragging on Enslaved which I took for a bunch of butt hurt fanboy nonsense as I kinda liked the demo, but after playing the full game I gotta say the haters were right. The game is a repetitious bore with janky controls.

Heavenly Sword and now Enslaved. That's strike two for these guys.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #28 on:** June 05, 2011, 09:44:05 PM »

yeah, my hopes aren't super high. it was ten bucks new though, and I'll buy almost anything at that price.

Still gotta finish the first one. Going to restart on Normal difficulty, since Hard just felt like more work. The enemies just have a bunch more HP to get through.

Way to jack my photobucket.

I was thinking this was a sequel to the game that got the Zero Punctuation guy his job and why would they even make a sequel to that but that game was The Darkness or something like that. Will this game have every kill be a gay QTE like the first one did?

I just found out Michael Wincott (Top Dollar in the Crow and Guy of Gisbourne in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) is voicing Death. I've always been a big fan of his. He just recently voice Merit in Syndicate.

Quote

The following information comes from Lead designer Hayden Dalton...

- will be available on day-one of Wii U launch
- being developed alongside the other console versions
- has a small team dedicated to ensuring the Wii U version uses the controller in "a unique way"

"That's been very interesting to see what those guys are doing, and they're making efforts to make sure we do use it in more than a slapdash way. It's basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can't do on the other consoles.

One of the things that we did, when we were originally going to show it off, was that you could equip stuff directly. So, for instance, I could be running along and I could click on another piece and I could put it on as I'm running through the game. That's huge, it's not breaking up the game in a way, I'm not going into a menu and assigning it, I'm literally just tapping as I'm playing.

We're not basically heavily changing the core game to support the control system, but the control system will be an enhancement of the core game."

real time weapon changing only doable on wii u

"YOU NEED CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION, SO YOUR ITERATION OF THIS ICONIC, MYTHIC CHARACTER CAN APPEAR DIFFERENT FROM YOUR FRIENDS' VERSION OF THIS CHARACTER, DEATH."

Seriously, WTF? I get customization, I like it, but what is the need for it when YOU'RE PLAYING DEATH?

its because publishers are scared shitless of releasing singleplayer only games anymore and they gotta figure out some way to shorehorn a "keep and don't trade in" feature into their game.

I mean, other then just making it good.

Personally I was a bit put off initially but the "xtreme" art style but the game is really really good. If you've ever enjoyed a 3d action/adventure game Darksiders is worth playing. It also has an "xtreme" storyline but it's actually pretty tounge in cheek at times. The main guy is SO SERIOUS

I have to check out the quicklook later. Having a hard time getting a read on the game since they're playing up the loot action and I'm wondering if it's still a Zelda or Soul Reaver style game. Darksiders 1 plus loot sounds like an awesome concept.

I think the last game had a similar problem where it was shown as an action game with a lot of DMCisms. The puzzle and adventure parts were almost a surprise when it released.

Before I knew anything really about the game I was turned off because I thought it was a God of War style game and I don't really care for that genre and that particular game especially. When I played it I was happy that the combat is a part of the game but its not really a god of war beat em up style game.

cool breeze · « **Reply #59 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:22:34 PM »

I watched the Giantbomb video. Interesting that they're playing the PC version and it sounds like a nice port. The loot and action and Prince of Persia (2008, specifically) platforming looks great. They briefly talk about the comparisons to Zelda but not much and I guess that part doesn't demo well.

The guy from the place played up the size of the game. Said the first of four (?) areas is already larger than the entirety of Darksiders 1. (I don't know if it's four areas. I'm confusing myself with memories of San Andreas previews.) And there's new game plus on top of that. It's the type of stuff that'd be super exciting with a lot of free time :'(
