Darksiders

[OL]

I'll pass on looking. I've seen enough so far. I think I'll just let everything else be a surprise.

Looking at an old issue of Game Informer where it's talking about Darksiders. War had a very different look to him early in development. Screens show a much more future sci fi Prime/Gears look. Instead of the Chaos Eater Sword as his main weapon it was a massive machine gun. The Chaos Eater had a very different look. Also very sci fi looking. He looks more like a dark grey version of Samus meets Gears meets the Angels in Darksiders. It says originally War was to have a Spawn like cape.
Maybe tonight I will take some pics. I do like the final version better the original was kinda cool also,yet didn't quite fit.

Many pictures. Best I could do sorry. Make take a min to load.

[OL]

Yeah, those pictures are all over the internet. Looked pretty cool, but I think the final product is much better. It's closer to Joe Mad's old comics style (cloaks and armor and hoods and giant freakin' weapons). But I would still like to see the chaingun someday.
Death has remained pretty much the same though.

So Death without his mask. Want to know? Also no spoilers to the game. Not even anything to do with it really. This is Joes drawing of Death without his mask

I knew I should stay out of this topic.

“Originally, Vigil wanted to do a four player co-op game. Realistically, though, we didn’t have much console experience and it was a whole new genre for us. So instead we went down the less risky route and focused on a single one of them. With the second game we thought of doing some form of co-op, but that was still very risky. Plus, people liked what we did with the first game and we didn’t want to take that away from them. I guess we’ll find out when [Darksiders 2] comes out whether they still like it [Laughs].” - lead designer Haydn Dalton

So...co-op was nixed from the first game, yanked from the second...but Vigil still likes the idea. I guess if Darksiders II does well enough, maybe this is a feature that could come in yet another installment.

“We want to stand out from the crowd. We want to make sure that if you see a Darksiders piece of artwork you feel it’s Darksiders. We want to own the style, we want to make a house style. That’s very important for us. We didn’t want to be just lost in the swathe of other projects out there.” - art director Han Randhawa
“The big key thing is that if someone sees a screenshot of our game, they automatically know it’s a Darksiders game. It doesn’t feel like a next-gen game but you can’t tell because it’s ‘next-gen grey’. Ours is much more vibrant. We’re happy to be different like that.” - Lead designer Haydn Dalton

This is probably why I've heard some industry people say that Darksiders II doesn't look all that great. They're not used to seeing interesting, detailed art design. They're used to browns, greys and tans.

Looks really cool. Gonna give the demo of the first game a try.

The commentary from Vigil games & Jeff were more fun to listen to than watch the game.

Man that girl from Dead Island has the worst life

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

My entire post contains spoilers but its relatively early in the game.

So I get to the eternal throne and meet the lord of bones and my brain decides to put this on
