I don't know about anyone else but I really liked the first game. Anyway the 2nd game won't be coming out untill 2013 thanks to delays but a bit of information has been released specifically that players will not be taking controle of War in the 2nd game and that the game will take place during the same events as the 1st one.

This makes me wonder what the main character is going to be, humanity is assumed to be wiped out in the game but there was a 100 year time period between when War was summoned and when he was released to find who set him up and it still is within the same time line. Or maybe it will be an Angel or a Demon, that would be pretty cool and would be more in keeping with the style of the game then a normal human. And it can't be one of the other Horsemen because they wern't summoned untill the end.

Also even if the 2nd game does well if it still dosen't make more then the first one then there won't be a 3rd. Anyway thought any other fans who didn't already know should

Yeah I heard about that. I don't know why they went that route, there's no need for it because there weren't any characters that I was really concerned with that I didn't already know what they were doing. Samael was sitting in his Lair trying to convince people that he's totally not Satan, Abaddon was crushed up early in the game. Sexy angel girl was always starting gak with War. So who else is there? Because just like you said the last Horsemen weren't summoned until the end.

Why don't they just make a sequel with War and his siblings?

I HATED that game. So repetitive, with horrible platforming.

It will be interesting to see what they do

@BBL: Ok? good for you I guess?

Just throwing that out there. Hope the 2nd is better for you guys

I do to because if it's better it will sell better and if it sells better then there will eventually be a 3rd game

I really loved the idea of the game, combining hack n slash with dungeon exploration. The only thing that really needs work is the combat system. It was a button smashing madness. A little more skill like Ninja Gaiden or Bayonetta would be really interesting.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's the best Zelda esque game since Zelda

The brief time I played didn't remind me of zelda in any way.

I had the displeasure of completing it and it is NOTHING like zelda.

That would be a point in it's favor for me...

Oh really? nothing like Zelda huh? hmm let's see here

1. Musical instrument: check

2. Summon a horse from nowhere: check

3. Use of a number of speed boosts while on the horse: check

4. Boomerang weapon with the ability to set multiple targets: check

5. Grappeling hook: check

6. Using boomerang to catch flame and ignite a torch lock (only differance is with Zelda you used the bow).

7. Exstincive environments for the game type: check

8. Same style of puzzles and boss battles: check

9. The fact that the designers actually used the Zelda games as referance when making Darksiders: check

10. Having a mask that grants you special powers: check

You may want to revise that statement Corpsesarefun

Anyway has anyone else been able to find any other news about the game?

Almost none of that was in any of the early zelda games and all of them are staples of dungeon styled adventure games.

You are basicly arguing that icecream is like frostbite because both are cold and involve complex hydrocarbons.

Oh so you went from Darksiders was "NOTHING" like Zelda to the above quote, saying they wern't in the originals dosen't even matter since I never said they where in the originals. I simply said Darksiders was based off of the Zelda games.

and all of them are staples of dungeon styled adventure games.

Point to any other game outside of the Zelda franchise that has ALL of the things I listed above. Especially since in 3 or 4 of differant interviews with the games creators directly state that the Zelda games where directly used as inspiration (if I still had them I'd quote it directly for you since I'm sure you'll ask) and you haven't addressed the idea that since Darksiders was directly inspired by Zelda it's only common since that the games would be alike (because in fact they are).

And even if they are staples of dungeon styled adventure games you just proved my point. A staple means it would be in all of them, since Zelda and Darksiders are both dungeon style adventure games that means those staples would be in both games ergo they're alike and you are wrong.

You are basicly arguing that icecream is like frostbite because both are cold and involve complex hydrocarbons.

Oh that's what I'm arguing is it? I don't think you understand what it means when someone says 2 things are alike because icecream and frostbite are alike for those very same reasons. If 2 things have something in common then they're alike, if 2 people have brown hair and blue eyes their alike. Just because you don't like it dosen't make it wrong.

So let's see, you say that Darksiders is nothing like Zelda (I'm willing to bet this is simply because you didn't like the game) and yet you ou have nothing to back up as to how they aren't alike (oh let me guess the stories wern't the same that means they're absolutly differant) other then that all games of that type have everything that I've mentioned (which they don't) and that what I've mentioned wasen't in the original games which has no standing in this so called "argument" because it was never said which Zelda games Darksiders was inspired from.

And of course you didn't even address the fact that Darksiders was directly inspired by the Zelda games and pays homage to them. And if I still had them I would directly quote the multiple magazine articles of interviews with the games creators stating this. So my reasons as to why Darksiders is a Zelda esque game as well as the fact that the game was directly inspired, referanced and modeled off of Zelda trumps your personal opinion that they're nothing alike.

Oh whatever, this is a thread for Darksiders 2 info, not "Well I think it sucks" Darksiders thread. If you didn't like it, fine. That's great, but it's not related to this thread.

Anyways, so it won't be out til next year. Any speculations on who the new protagonist may be? The only possible strong character they could use is Uriel, but that seems like something that should just be DLC rather than it's own game.

Unless they created an Angelic Captain of the Hell Guard with his own back story. Personally I would love to play as a daemon, and it would be cool if the game took place while War was gone and you where fighting during the actual Apocalypse and not just in the aftermath.
