I loved darksiders and I'm very excited about the sequel but......
"don't have a lot of time to put together [Darksiders II]...."
I can't be the only one who reads that and feels a little worried.

Isn't that just a common component of these kind of games? Seems like a bad move just making it more of a typical action game.
Ah! Metroid Super Metroid + Zero Mission + Metroid Fusion have the best backtracking of ALL time. Let's hope DarkSiders 2 implements this mechanic in an enjoyable way.
I don't remember Darksiders having backtracking issues. I remember it having broken combat, janky visuals, and some uninspired, boring level design. Fix that first!
"This new system is also a big help to Vigil as they 'don't have a lot of time to put together [Darksiders II]'..."
They're going to have to "homage" twice as fast! I kid, though, fun game.
Also, getting the hookshot and going back to pick up stuff you missed in earlier sections has been in nearly every Zelda game, which is what Darksiders is based on. It's not that big a deal.

Agreed with magnalon about the backtracking. The only backtracking I really remember with the first darksiders was a couple of health/wrath shards that you needed the hookshot/portal gun for. Unless you count that area you had to come back to whenever you beat a dungeon, but that was pretty much a hub anyways
Darksiders still remains as the most easily forgettable yet good games I've played. It was polished and entertaining, but brought NOTHING new to the table. I hope Darksiders II does more than apes other games I love.
I wonder how this game will require the THQ online pass.....they'd find a way to link ti to backtracking or something silly >_>
Darksiders was a Zelda clone.
Zelda had awesome backtracking.
Darksiders had even awesomer backtracking.
Don't change shit, Vigil Games. I loved the fuck outta Darksiders.
Sure, I only loved it after I rented it(it slipped my radar!) but Darksiders 2 is a day one must buy!

Granted I'm still very early in the game, but it seems like there are ample places to teleport too in the event of backtracking provided you explore each area. Maybe that opinion will change when I'm finished.
But why the hell am I forced to wander some BS corridor when I teleport where I want to go? Fix that please

Yeah. That's what I said. Seems people are missing that point and it's a bit of a doozy methinks.

If they don't have a lot of time to put it together, I may not have a lot of time to play it.
I actually got as far as cryotek... but what killed me about the game (and i know its stupid) was that little sims-esque icon over the enemy heads. There is nobody avoid injuring, so why point out every enemy... even the set pieces like the aforementioned miniboss. HE'S AS BIG AS A DAMN BUILDING! I DONT NEED A GLARING ICON TO LET ME KNOW HE'S THE BAD GUY!

thats kool. i didnt mind the traveling in the original. I loved the world and combat in that game. I cant wait for the second.
...When you throw adventure into a game a bit of backtracking is inevitable yes?
@Bakewell Gadz that is distressing. Exactly what do they have time for if not a sequel to a genuinely good game franchise?

I didn't remember too much backtracking...
of course I do not remember much about Darksiders, it was quite a forgettable experience. Sure it was a zelda clone, but there was hardly any personality about it. I did not care for the characters, setting, what was even going on? Solid mechanics, but it was all pretty sterile and "by the numbers".
