In between all the talking there’s quite a bit of gameplay footage here of the upcoming Darksiders II.
If your ears tune out to the sound of developers talking up their own game — and really, who can blame you — know they’re basically saying they’re going to try and fix all the empty and boring bits from the first game.

Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 10:50 PMI did notice the title uses the word ‘still’, which implies the first game starred Death.
Yay editing.

Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 11:22 PMHeh so is this going to be a blatant ripoff of god of war 2 or god of war 3? I rather liked darksiders but the level of… lets call it “homage” was a trifle excessive

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 9:19 AMI enjoyed the first Darksiders, and this looks like they’ve tightened up the gameplay quite a bit. I’m digging this :)
