Quantcast



I don't know exactly why The Darkness reminds me so much of Max Payne, but so far it does. Maybe it's the gloom of the game or maybe the noir-ish atmosphere, I don't know. What I do know is that the graphics, especially the animations, are looking really good. Enjoy this short gameplay video from the Comic Con 07.

anyone here go to the comic con besides me? it was great this year for only being the 2nd one.

anyway, any other details of this game? all i've seen is little videos like this one. release date? platforms? I don't think this is a wii game, but if it was, man would it be cool controlling those arms with the wiimote.

That looks so good.

However I hope that the A.I. is a little more challenging when the final version comes out.

CanniabalCalvin said it all.

Hopefully the PS3 sees this title.

So let me get this straight:

You're a horrifying two-headed monster who can apparently summon more monsters and you can obliterate all those dudes?

AWESOME!!!

It's nice to see that finally we can have a game where we don't have to be a goody-good good-doer.

Really looking forward to this one.

That video kicks ass in a major way. I just got all warm and tingly in my naughty parts. And it wasn't even a priest's fault this time.

That looked great, as a former fan of the darkness graphic novel, all I can say is is.... WA!

My question is, was the first part of the video actual gameplay, or rather an ingame cut scene that eventually meshed into the gameplay we saw towards the end?

If that was actual gameplay at the beginning and they managed to get the AI to work that nicely in terms of hiding and reacting, then we are certainly in for a treat... but I really doubt that.

Im very excited for this game. Velcro: It will be on the PS3 also. Nick Brutal should be getting an interview hopefully with the developers at the Con.

Thank a lot for the Tip velcroman.

Anyone know where I can find/buy the graphic novel? it looks really good.

I was surfing through IGN and I found that they had quite a few screenshots from the PS3:

However, they don't look as good as the video just shown.

harelo is right, the ps3 screens from ign, i m p r e s s i v e. a wii version would be pretty hardcore, especially if you could control whatever the hell those tentacle things are.
*waits patiently*

"Do Not Capture Footage" Hahaha.

I don't know what to think about this. The graphics are pretty amazing if that's in-game.

I hate The Darkness. If I have to hear that "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" song one more time I'm going to snap.

Mxyzptlk:
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
OoooOOOOooHHH!

...feel free to snap at any moment.....
