haha Imagine if it had the whole slow down time thing and a 3rd person/1st person mode on the fly swaping for combos.
Like Picture F.E.A.R you shoot shoot, slow down time, slide in, hold a lock on button or some shit to enter 3rd person mode do some combos pop them up and follow up then let go of 3rd person stance mid air shooting from first person view from the air and then finishing off with a kick off the body that lets you leap away from the combat.....
Damn now I want to go play bulletstorm again.
Honestly though I would love to see what they would do with Strifes game, another Metroid Prime style game wouldn't be to bad at all. Metroid prime with loot, talent pools, and leveling up? Sign me up
What I would like is Strife and Fury to be the main characters of DS3, as neither are interesting enough to hold there own game. Have the game be concurrent with DS1 and 2, and have them try there hand at co-op as a test for the eventual DS4 which would be 4 player co-op, cause that would be awesome.
Uh, I feel like it's going to be the exact opposite. Unless Darksiders 2 is a huge hit, they won't make any more.
this is my guess too, which is surprising because first-person shooters usually aren't movies.
Here is interview with JoeMad in Puerto Rico Comic Con, where he mentioned that one possible game in their future is FPS/Adventure/RPG in fantasy enviroment.

Also he stated that he would love to make Darksiders 3.

"Pushing the genre forward" probably means co-op - the two horsemen that are left might both be in the next game if there is one. At least they could wrap up the story that way.
If the characters have vastly different abilities they could also check another buzzword of the list and call the gameplay asymmetrical.

Space Marine has one of the best mixes or ranged combat and melee battles of currentgen videogame space. But i dont know how will they move that into FPS game.
Fury would be easier to do than Strife, IMO.
I hope that the FPS is not Darksiders related.

Well, I guess that's that. Jason Rubin had his way.
Ugh I hope not. At this it all depends on Darksiders 2, if it sells well we will get more games.
Relax who knows what they are making, maybe its Warhammer 40K FPS game or something completely brand new.

Vigil on Darksiders 3:
Reduced scope...sounds like an FPS to me.
Metroid style would be considered reduced scope
I could make up 25+ attacks involving a whip on the spot right now it's not hard. Specially when it's high fantasy and we know the character is a mage type. They already said from scratch they designed all the characters with enough potential and ability to all star in their own games

I love the Tau aesthetic, so I'd be down for that. Shame FW was such a turd.
To people complaining about Rubin, he's been bragging about playing an early build of Darksiders 2 for the last week or so, so I wouldn't worry about that. At the most, maybe he wants them to take a break from Darksiders and try something different. Hopefully that isn't just another generic FPS and is something a little more different like Bulletstorm
Reduced scope...sounds like an FPS to me.
Well no. Darksiders II is waaaay larger game than original Darksiders. Much larger landmass, longer main campaign, full loot system, sidequests, optimization of the NG+ gameplay, etc.
If they reduce landmass and gameplay time of Darksiders III to be only half of the Darksiders II, we will still get a massive massive game. And that would be fine with me. IMHO, they added every single thing that i wanted into DS2, and in some cases even more.
It's going against Sleeping Dogs on launch day. Not exactly friendly competition.
But it did well against Bayonetta, it could do well here too.

I'm not sure if it will have huge upfront sales, but I'm god damn sure word of mouth will give it legs
Darksiders II is shaping up for 200-250k preorders on consoles in the US only. PC numbers are unknown.
Those are VG-Chartz numbers, there's good chances it's bull.
Plus, it's banned on GAF.
Whoops, I did not know from what source are those numbers. Oh well...

"Look, see that small patch of sand over there!"
"Not really, there's sand everywhere, for miles and miles"
"No, that one right there, yeah ... that's our patch of sand. I hope people like it"

Another FPS in this market is idiotic when Darksiders hasn't done "great" (not bad, but not great in comparison to many other titles) and most likely it will be a new IP (unless they are reshaping DS3)
An unrecognizable FPS IP brought on at the end of a generation where there are already an overflow of choices on the market.
Unless it's for next generation, then so be it.
Apologize for the cryptic post. It's early.
You're missing the jokeAm I missing something? Who is flyinpiranha and why should we decipher his post?
That would be pretty awesome. Maybe with some Panzer Dragoon style lockon targetting. Didn't Darkwatch do that?
I think it's just for Strife, like most people already said. (it was actually the first thing I was thinking of before reading this topic)
From the wiki:
Strife
Strife is an Old One Nephilim and Horseman of the Apocalypse, replacing the traditional horseman Conquest. He wields two large handguns. His whereabouts are unknown.
One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Strife is the Rider of the White Horse. He carries the Handgun Mercy (The original, War's is a copy according to the Game manual) and another unknown handgun. Strife does not waste time when it comes to business, and will make examples of people to teach a lesson. This is evidenced by how he silenced the demonic hordes who taunted the horsemen as they delievered a message to Samael, by shooting off the leg of one of the demons who yelled "Kill the horsemen!".

Fury is more than enough interesting to have her own game. She's a sorceress with a whip, what more can you ask?
I'd like to visit her dungeon, if you know what I mean...

Great to see them expanding their talent to other game genres, kinda hoping for something like Serious Sam 3: BFE though.

It did great for a new IP, besides this could be a different IP entirely and it'll still be awesome.

nothing wrong with switching around a bit.
