    I think the art style in this game is better. Games to me look better when the use comic style art and rendering then trying to look "ultra-realistic" which comes off bad. The first game had good graphics for its time, but this blows it out of the water.

    the gameplay looks badass but the graphics became like borderlands with a thick outline in the objects and characters

    awesome to see a follow up to this game it's one of my very favourites. a little unsure about the new graphic style. the first was dark whereas this is a little gaudy. too much like Brink. i'm sure i'll still enjoy it though. well as long as the storyline is up to it.

    seems like more than just the pace is different from the first game, but thats not a bad thing. this game looks pretty sweet

    I don't like the graphics for this new game either, to be honest. I think it looks like a mess. Loved the graphics in the first one but this.. Naah! I'll think I pass

    i literally cant wait for this. I was a big fan of the first one and hearing that most everything is carrying over from the first one, from the voice of the darkenss to the writers of the story is very exciting. this will be a pick up on day one.

    I was a bit skeptic at first but after hearing that the writer is the same one as in the first game, my hopes suddenly got up. So I think it's safe to say that at least the story will be very good.

    Not sure about this one.

    Gunplay looks to be on par with "Modern Warfare 2"s.

    Just picked up the first one for only $5 at GameStop. Cool game. Don't know if I'll buy this one though. It shares it's Day One release with "Rage".

    the art looks a bit like borderlands..

  • Paoksis

    cartoonish art...i am not saying its bad,but i think its inferior to the art style in the first one

  • theloneronin827

    Posted Jun 18, 2011 12:21 pm GMT

    Game looks great! Although he never answers the question of if the game was linear or a small scale open world, like the last game.

    i like how he isn't overpowered,it,s balance because they are using the light against you and stuff,guns and effects look good,not looking bad over all so far.

    Haha wow he looked like he wanted to talk about Darkness 2 all day. And I don't blame him. That game looks F****ng sick!

    I don't see how people can say that this is more of the same. It looks like they almost completely started from scratch art-wise and gameplay-wise. The quad-wielding looks great, as well as the ability to throw objects and use them as shields. I can't wait to get this.

    @ThexSilentxOne

    I'm aware that just because the original company bows out doesn't mean the game will be bad but It still worries me though, Digital Extremes has let us down in the past but hopefully my fears are unfounded this time.

    If it ain't broken don't fix it, that's my motto. It seems to me that they simply changed the art style for changes sake and seems completely unnecessary. Oh, and just because it looks more like the comics doesn't mean that's a good thing. Cell shading has a tendency to ruin the atmosphere.

    People will always question change that much is true, but if that change is stupid or unnecessary then people will complain and justifiably so. Remember the change to Cole's look in Infamous 2? They made go from a bad ass to a bland N-sync reject overnight but thankfully turned him back. Look, it may not seem like it but I AM trying to keep an open mind about this but it's very difficult to do so...seeing the game in action hasn't quite expelled my fears yet. I guess once October comes we will all know for sure.

    Just because a different company takes the reigns of a game made by someone else, doesn't mean it is an automatic fail. the first one wasn't perfect! Blue Castle(Dead Rising 2) did just fine and even made the series even more popular. I know what you all are talking about and a prime example would be Crackdown 2. But it seems to me that more and more gamers are never willing to look upon games with different "glasses". It also seems that when a new art style shows up people just want more of the same old, same old. Trust me i know when there;s a good art style that shouldn't be messed with but, it does look more like the comics. Everryone has to piss and moan when something new happens. Some are skeptical to change and some are not. But brother, you can count on the fact that i will definitely be trying this as i am a avid Darkness fan. Power to gamers with an open mind! FTW

    prob not a preorder for me, but def looks like fun, I may pick up the first one too.

  • solidsnakex2

    Posted Jun 13, 2011 3:22 am GMT

    To be honest, I'm still not sold on this game. The first darkness had great atmosphere and graphics which this game seems to utterly lack, and without the trademark Starbreeze realism I just can't bring myself to take it seriously. Not to mention, it's being made by Digital Extremes a company known for making "ok" games, not great games, which worries me more then a little. I'm still going to get this game but I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting for it; I've already had my fair share of disappointing games this year.

    Okay 2k games, and Darkness Developers...heres my life savings...now gimme my limited edition and leave me be...(looks great love the cell shading, big fan of the comic)

  • Furry_McTank

    The first one is definately worth playing. This looks like more of the same and the art style looks fantastic.

  • electronic_eye

    Posted Jun 12, 2011 2:06 pm GMT

    You know, to be honest, I didn't think I really liked the different art style direction for the sequel from the brief trailer I saw, but while watching this demo, I fell in love with it. Action looks top notch; not worried about that. Just want the story to be rock solid throughout.

    Posted Jun 12, 2011 4:32 am GMT

    Amazing. Been a huge fan of the first game and this is going straight to my list
    But personally, I think the art style fits. Its based on a 'Comic Book' after all

  • simon_levane

    Posted Jun 11, 2011 11:40 pm GMT

    It looks more appealing than "F.E.A.R. 3". But better games are slated for release on the same day: (

    This looks better than Call of Duty.

    this game looks like something special.... just doesn't seem like it's the same series as the first one which I loved

  • uglypinkmoose

    Posted Jun 11, 2011 9:45 pm GMT

    this game seems to have changed a lot... I hope it's satisfying in a similar way.... I feel like I'll be playing a different game

  • uglypinkmoose

    Posted Jun 11, 2011 9:42 pm GMT

    one of my favorite shooters of all time! the first game wasn't given the attention it deserved..
    wish they kept the realistic graphics...it really set a dark mood.... this looks great though I cant wait

  • revway

    Posted Jun 11, 2011 4:15 pm GMT

    It's a combat demo so they're just showing all the run and gun but I really liked the first games meaty fighting.

    Good concept, art style doesn't fit the game though.

  • marlobc

    Posted Jun 11, 2011 10:25 am GMT

    are they using unreal engine this time? looks like bioshock,borderland kind of art ,not serious, dont fit this game

    i am gutted with the change of graphics, who thought that it would work better. The first 1 was brilliant
