Extended Debut Trailer

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/extended-debut-darksiders-ii/717621


Give me that game NOW!!! Such a simple trailer, yet so damn epic... it also reminded me of the amazing voice-acting from the first game. It really was one of the features that amazed the hell out of me when I played the first game.

The first Darksiders had a very linear structure, although it required players to backtrack and explore a number of hidden areas it was always in service of the main quest. For the sequel Vigil says it's loaded the game with optional side-quests, each with a unique dungeon created specifically for it, so you won't be seeing the same places over and over again a la Dragon Age 2.


Quote:
Darksiders 2's shift towards role-playing driven mechanics over pure action is most evident in its combat. Each attack results in a corresponding number showing us how much damage we're inflicting and, as is par for the course, enemies drop tiered loot in the form of secondary weapons, chests, shoulder and body armour, gloves boots and talismans, which can be used to buff stats.

Along with the loot system Darksiders 2 also includes a full skill-tree mechanic where players spend points earned from combat learning new abilities. Vigil makes it clear that it isn't possible to purchase everything in a single play through, even if you grind and reach max level. This means strategy and planning is required to progress through the skill tree.

In order to be effective in combat it's important to creating a synergy between weapons, armour and abilities, all of which support the usual archetypes of magic, damage and ranged.

Quote:
Marvin Donald, game director at Darksiders II developer Vigil, told Eurogamer the studio is forced to do "wacky stuff" on Sony's console.

"It's a pain in the ass to work on," he said. "Five years later, getting used to it? That means it's a pain in the ass.


They did a "great" job with the first one on the PS3, as in it was 1:1 identical to the 360 version, which often isn't the case for multiplatform games.
Still that doesn't mean they didn't have to jump through hoops to achieve parity.

So this will be a better RPG than the ME games for example, even if it started as a pure action game, sounds really great so far. I really can't wait for this game!

This seems good, let's hope for the best...
Glad to see some developer adding complexity and depth instead of removing it, once in a while Smile

Guess there won't be multiplayer in the game which I honestly don't give a fuck about.
