I really enjoyed the first 2 games and even though it was paper thin the story and the concept behind the game had promise.

Who is this Fury person? She definitely isn't one of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse. What happened to continuing the story with War, Death, Conquest and Famine?

The Horsemen are War, Death, Fury, and Strife.

It's suppose to be War, Death, Pestilence, and Famine though, like the real Horsemen!

The best thing is that we're back to Hell on Earth background.
It's the best part of this series and one of the main reasons why I didn't care for DSII.

I don't usually go there, but... read the novel/comics.

It's an action adventure game where giant monsters from "Hell" battle giant humanoids from "Heaven" and then giant humanoid hybrid is sent on postapocaliptic Earth to deal with the aftermatch only to find out that those Three Fiery Stone Heads were behind it all along. You really gonna complain about two Horsemen of the Apocalips not bein' Pestilence and Famine? Come on now!

Excellent news!

I prefer the gameplay progression of the first DS rather than the loot based DS2. So I hope it's more in line with the first game.

Found this on the Darksiders website, our first look at Sloth. Who according to the little text description has made his base in an abandoned subway system and is a monster when prodded into battle.

That looks really dull and uninspired.

Looks pretty decent. However I don't think they should've granted ign such an early look at pre-alpha gameplay. WIP should be kept from public eyes until almost finished or if the project is in danger of losing investors. At the moment it looks like a vertical slice.

This is not a Battlefront EA thread.

It's just pre-alpha with placeholder everything.
GUI is almost nonexistent and the sound is mostly from the first game.
What's important is that new graphics didn't ruin the art style.

The lack of GUI isn't what I'm talking about, the game just looks generic and boring.

More polished, new sounds.



Also the return of sub weapons is officialy confirmed.

Release date is November 27.

Just pre-ordered the Apocalypse Edition for 399€ ouch!



Upon looking at the contents of the box, and considering the Death statue (sold separately currently on the THQ store) is sold for 79.99€, that means 4 statues would cost 320€. Add the game + downloadable content included + steelbook (game costs 59.99€, DLC adds to that) and you're around 380-390€ already, but you still have the wall scroll, necklace replica, artbook, and soundtrack included. And the shipping cost is included in the 399€, considering the box is nearly 4 feet long that's something to consider.

The death statue was made and sold over 2 years ago and now i suppose they are re-packing that statue with this set.

Not sure about this. All of the trailers make it look sort of "boring".

I really enjoyed the first one when it came out, then tried playing the second years after its release and just couldn't get into it for whatever reason.

I too really enjoyed Darksiders, and was disappointed by Darksiders II. I cannot say it was objectively bad, but I didn't care for the Diablo-type loot system and I thought the middle of the story dragged way too much. That said, the -trailers- for III look like the game has more God of War style combat like the first game, and doesn't show any of the heavier RPG mechanics from the second one so maybe they went back to the old formula that was working fine. I think there is also in the trailer an indication that Fury gets different powers depending on the color of her hair / flames, wait and see.

That said, I'm still totally in love with the art design of this franchise, and I've always enjoyed Heaven vs Hell settings so this is starting good so far for me.
