   That combat looks incredibly repetitive with no variety. Hopefully that’s just due to the pre-alpha nature. The enemy design and world look like they could fit into the Darksiders universe, which is good.

   I hope this game is a sequel story-line wise, unlike the second game that took place during the events of the first game and left us hanging on the first’s cliff hanger. I still want to see what happens next.

      I don’t entirely disagree with the point about the combat, given though that DS1 and 2 both had fairly rudimentary combat during the early stages before unlocking different weapons/abilites I’m not that worried yet.

      From some of the stuff that has been leaked, it looks more likely that it will run parallel to the events as well. If this eventually led to a 4 player coop game for the “after the events of darksiders” story I’d be a happy person

         It was an interesting experiment with setting Darksiders 2 in the middle of the Darksiders 1 story line, but in the end it made most of the story forgettable. While Death could try to help War, he couldn’t do anything that would meaningfully affect what happened in the first game.

         I suspect you’re right in that at least part of this game will be parallel to the others, given that the other trailer showed Fury talking to War while he was chained up by the Charred Council, but hopefully they push forward a bit rather than ending it at the point where War called the horsemen.

      I imagine combat will become more involved, and is just a product of it being pre-alpha; e.g. there’s no sign of an “overcharge” type move as yet. That whip sound gets very annoying very quickly tho :P.

   Cool another red-haired female protagonist. Don’t see enough of those in geek culture.

   Looks like it’s got a way to go yet in getting the combat to be fluid. It totally needs a guard/dodge counter. That backwards whip move is just awkward in the basic combo and would be better in an tertiary one. Also the basic whip attacks are really too forward facing; makes it feel like she’s thrusting instead of doing the kind of long slashes God of War and Castlevania LoS felt like.

   Awesome. After THQ dispersed I was a little bummed in particular for the Homeworld and Darksiders franchise, I’m glad they’re both being kept alive and I’m looking forward to Darksiders 3.

   Still no sprint button? That was the worst thing about the first 2 imo

   That whip doesn’t look like it would do all that much. Needs more weight or the option of other heavier weapons

   Yeah, I’m not sure they’re doing themselves any favours showing footage this early. Things will obviously improve, but it’s impossible to tell what and how much.

   The visual design lacks a lot of what worked so nicely in the earlier games, and that seems kind of fundamental unless they really are only just starting out with this thing. Do we know if Joe Maduriera is involved?

      He’s not involved, but happy for Gunfire Games to be working on it:

      When THQ went bankrupt and Vigil Games was dissolved, many of the developers went on to form that studio. Joe Maduriera formed a different studio, Airship Syndicate, with other Vigil folk.
