New The Darkness screens + amazing trailer (update)

**G_H_G** · 07-22-2006

Trailer: http://dl.qj.net/the-darkness-traile...8977/catid/391

Screens:

My 1st take on them is that the old screens looked better. However, this game is being shown at an event called comic-con right now so we should have a trailer to see soon. I'll wait until I see that to say anymore as screenshots are no longer the best way to judge as we have seen with many other next-gen games.

After watching the trailer I'd say this game is looking really good. Screens are no good anymore it seems. You gotta see that sheite in motion.

Wow. I'm currently in the Swedish town where Starbreeze was born, and is located

Looks pretty damn sh itty, but I'm not going to bash it mianly because Swedish developers are creating this game.

its the same dudes who made riddick
and riddick the game turned out to be better than the film!

**Martinx** · 07-22-2006

I seriously don't get why they chose to make a Riddick game.

Riddick was the follow-up for Pitch Black right?

riddick the game was set before all of the movies
i thought it was a great game, the game was about riddick being sent to butcher bay the most meathead prison in the future and riddick trying to escape from it, the game was uber gritty and had very good voice acting
but as for the movies.. well.. the less said about them the better

I still didn't see how this game will play like.

**Mallanaga** · 07-22-2006

looks interesting... the screens are funky. the one that shows his 2 hands and his 2... eels?... is wierd. the right hand is glowing, and the left eel is glowing.

can we only control 2 of our 4 weapons? sign me up for a shotgun then, or a snipe. i don't know, i'm sure gametrailers will have the movie this is from shortly. we can make our decisions then. these screens arn't enough to get my panties in a bunch.

**SolidSnakeUS** · 07-22-2006

Wow, these really are nice screens, it does look a bit grainy, but it looks sort of like the Source engine from Half Life 2. All I hope is, is that this game delivers in a big, graphical, and gameplay way.

**SpaceMonkeyDave** · 07-22-2006

looks alot like riddick did but just looking alot nicer
i actually thought this used the doom 3 engine when i first saw it

**HiX** · 07-22-2006

I'm a tad disappointed with the visuals. It looks like Chronicles of Riddick with minor graphical upgrades. The models are blocky and the textures aren't so-so high-res textures.

Doesn't scream NEXT-GEN to me.

agreed..
however we have all seen the drastic effects of what even a tiny bit of polish can do to a game (the new motorstorm trailer)

**Panda Bear Shenyu** · 07-22-2006

I saw this game on Ep, and it seriously looks like crap right now. You get these darkness demon evil cliche evil dog things (Which wear baseball jerseys for some unknown reason) and they follow you around and saw people's head off. Oh, and they can also climb ladders and stuff.

... I'll stay with my Pokemon yellow thanks.

It looks amazing. Looks like I was right to not judge this on the screens alone

i dont know, it seems most xbox 360 game have good / better lighting.
the grond texture, and design, just like ps3 resistance games, but this game have better lighting, and produced amazing screen.

What kind of foolishness...

Until we see the PS3 version of this game how can you say the 360 game has better lighting/textures etc?

**red731** · 07-23-2006

wow. looking good that trailer is -yoda
thanks for the trailer btw. nice find and this game could be very good...
did anyone read the comic of The Darkness?

**bluvi69** · 07-23-2006

my point is, to adding more info, that at this point, this game demoed at comic con 2006, and ran beautifully on xbox 360. not on PS3 at the moment.

of course PS3 version will be good too, maybe at TGS, if indeed PS3 already in production, we will see this game on Xbox 360, and PS3 non devkit version.

What difference does it make what console it was demoed on? Its a multiplatform game so it will look just about the same on both consoles. Your whole point is moot. Heavy Rain was demoed on the PS3 at e3, not the 360. Does it mean anything? No.
