This gives me chills.

Jesper Kyd on the OST?

Archpath1 · (08-07-2012, 04:38 AM)

great OT, can't wait to play this biz

gotta make it successful for hopes of the next game :)

Quote:

Because of the size and the scope of the game, Vigil Games focused only on Singleplayer. There is NO Multiplayer or Coop.

I bet OnlySP.com likes that haha

Kard8p3 · (08-07-2012, 04:41 AM)

Aww yeah, hyped, and changed avatar! Definitely cannot wait, game will be amazing. This part of the year is going to kill my wallet though :(

DieH@rd · 04:45 AM

Someone needs to make a new thread on official DS2 forums on darksiders.com and point them here. :)

There is also a high chance this OT will be featured on DS2 facebook page. We shall see.

Alex · (08-07-2012, 04:45 AM)

Coop would be really neat, maybe next time.

I want this but im still going through the original now. Which is fine, my entertainment budget is flatlined twice over anyway for now. I missed all the good pc deals too i think so ill get it at the first good post launch sale i bet.

Papercuts · (08-07-2012, 04:48 AM)

Nice OT. I was a big fan of Darksiders, but it looks like 2 is an insane improvement on top of it. I haven't seen all that much footage beyond the giantbomb quicklook however, but I think that's for the best.

ChosenPredator · (08-07-2012, 04:53 AM)

Can you use a joystick for this game? Always wondered if you could do this

Adnor · (08-07-2012, 05:06 AM)

Great OP! The game looks amazing.
Every time I read that Revelation quote, I read it with Jonnhy Cash's voice.

Darkgran · (08-07-2012, 05:08 AM)

Oh yeah!

Bring it on!

KaYotiX · (08-07-2012, 05:14 AM)

BRING IT ON!!! Great OP!!

Just like the first im sure it wont leave my 360 untill i beat it

Buckethead · (08-07-2012, 05:19 AM)

Someone PM me and tell me what happened in Darksiders 1.

Not going to ever play it.

dreamfall · (08-07-2012, 05:20 AM)

Such a great OT; OT GAF is killing it tonight! Almost done replaying the first title on my PC, going PC for Darksiders II! Death awaits, it shall be glorious! Need some more Abyssal Armor!

Nice one Arthur, Really shows the platforming aspect off, which is something that hasn't been shown really in the ads.

Awesome

This thread reconfirms that I will be playing this first, then Sleeping Dogs

dreamfall · (08-07-2012, 05:32 AM)

Are most of PC GAF playing with a game pad or Kb/M? I'm tempted to try it out with a controller but I've been replaying the first title without it. Does it feel better?

I didn't like the first one with Kb/m. These games were probably built with the controller in mind first, so it might be better.

JokerOfSpades · (08-07-2012, 05:34 AM)

Damn. This is why I don't make OTs. Bar is set so high.

I really liked attacking with both mouse buttons for primary/secondary but pressing Alt to dash still is a struggle. Also holding Caps + a number for specials is way too hectic. It does make shooting way more precise though. Oh MERCY!

I hope riding Despair is even better than Epon-RUIN. So hyped!

earvcunanan · (08-07-2012, 05:43 AM)

Any PS3 footage? I know the first game was pretty solid on PS3, so I'm not worried. Just curious.

MMaRsu · (08-07-2012, 05:58 AM)

Omg im so ready!!! COME ON 21ST!!!!

Sephirus · (08-07-2012, 06:01 AM)

Awesome OT! I simply can't wait for this game.

The first one was one of my favorite games that year, and this one looks better in every way. So HYPED!

Duffyside · (08-07-2012, 06:01 AM)

My copy shipped like three days ago. I hope that means I have a chance of getting it early, but probably not, right? I don't normally order things this far out, and when I do pre-order online it's from Amazon, and they ship a day or two beforehand.

Also; I did not know about the first area having as many dungeons as the entire first game. Not terribly excited about that. I think four or five real good dungeons is the perfect amount for an entire game.

And I'm not too confident in saying this is more colorful than 90% of other AAA games out there; from what I've seen it's lots of gray and brown with color splashed on top.

Pretty excited about the combat, though. Lots of options, potentially. And super-impressed that Vigil somehow crammed even more mechanics and features into the game; NG+, loot, leveling weapons, etc. No way someone can say this is Darksiders 1.5, right? This game is my only for-sure day 1 purchase.

felipepl · (08-07-2012, 06:04 AM)

Awesome OT, can't wait.

nashb81 · (08-07-2012, 06:05 AM)

Does this game have a pre-load on Steam?

Sweet OT btw.

Gunsmithx · (08-07-2012, 06:07 AM)

Great work on the OT guys, looks really amazing and should help tide us over a bit till release. Thanks for all the effort for this.

MikeHaggar · (08-07-2012, 06:11 AM)

it's awesome to see the love that this is getting. the first game was my goty for 2010. there are plenty of legitimate complaints that were leveled at it, but the sum of the parts was just awesome. it somehow managed to evoke the same kinds of emotions in me that i had as a child when playing video games.

i haven't followed this one too closely as it was a day one purchase before i even finished the first. i just hope they haven't tooled with the original's formula too much in attempt to "reach a broader audience." even with that slight reservation i am extremely hyped. hopefully this one will suck me in and take over my life the way the first entry did.

Kaizer · (08-07-2012, 06:12 AM)

Awesome, awesome OT, great job man. Not too sure if I'm buying this Day One as I'm a little cash-strapped at the moment. It's #1 in the GameFly Queue so hopefully it'll all work out.

Platypus · (08-07-2012, 06:12 AM)

I can run the first game on PC on high settings, will I have any problems running this one? I'm a complete PC gaming noob.

Paertan · (08-07-2012, 06:27 AM)

Soo close now! This will be awesome!

LoserMakesGood · (08-07-2012, 06:32 AM)

So pumped and I actually somehow got the 14th off work. I'm just going to be standing outside my door waiting for the mail.

Lonesome_Raod · (08-07-2012, 06:49 AM)

i really really fell in love with the first game and this just looks to make me fall all over again. what a truly great name darksiders is becoming in the gaming world.

glaurung · (08-07-2012, 06:49 AM)

Excellent OP, kudos to the hard work.

I have a pre-order in for the PS3 CE (which has apparently become a rarity already) and I also have a Steam key pre-order in over at GMG from May or something like that. Before the game turned out to be the juggernaut that it apparently is.

Not going to take time off work, but I can tell you this: trying to go all magic the first time out.

Edit: The original Darksiders remains one of my truly enjoyable experiences on PS3. It is also one of my very few platinums and I did like earning that beauty.

Incendiary · (08-07-2012, 06:52 AM)

Got my Collector's Edition on pre-order. Can't wait for this!

Cystm · (08-07-2012, 06:52 AM)

Beautiful.

Hasemo · (08-07-2012, 07:01 AM)

Great work on the OT. Can't wait for the game.

IHaveIce · (08-07-2012, 07:02 AM)

oh hype is rising

great thread

Rokam · (08-07-2012, 07:15 AM)

Want this so bad :(. Think I'm going to have to wait a few months. If anyone knows any contests going on for a copy on 360 speak up!

Daante · (08-07-2012, 07:25 AM)

Preorder it since a few days back on Steam.

My beefy htpc, 50" Kuro plasma and 360 gamepad is ready :D

Must be strong to continue with my media black out.. , must be strong...!

NaviLink · (08-07-2012, 07:39 AM)

Amazing OP, guys.

I'm pumped for this game, too bad we can't get a deal for the Season Pass for consoles like the PC version. We'll probably have a complete edition in six months or something.

Micerider · (08-07-2012, 07:47 AM)

Thread of Beauty.

Finishing my game of AssCreed : Revelations to be ready for Darksiders II.

Proposed Law · (08-07-2012, 08:08 AM)

Awesome OT, one week to go!
