The Darkness II delayed to February 7

its a shame starbreeze isn't making the sequel but hopefully it will do well when its released in febuary i really loved the first darkness but some of the changes are going to make me wait until its released so i can see people play it and get their opinions

:D

:(

Never played the first game since it didn't hit the PC. But I hope this becomes great, but until up now it doesn't impress much.

I really enjoyed the original Darkness, i found it quite refreshing in addition to being dark and moody it also contained a good story. However i gotta say that imo D2 looks like its slipped into the 'generic run-n-gun' trap albeit with 'Darkness powers'. I hope im wrong, but i guess time will tell.

@jethrovegas About Scrolls, I meant it wouldn't have been considered so great if it only had two enemy types. Sorry for the typo

@jethrovegas What, because of repeat animations a horrible lame story? If I'm playing next years Madden and there's only one tackle animation, that's lame!!! I don't know what's confusing about that? Jus like Borderlands, I couldn't stand the repeat use of same three rock patterns they used for the entire games mountains and ground backgrounds, that's lame! What is this nowadays, 1943 looney tunes were you see the same chair and table go by over and over and over? How many millions do they get to make these games?? If you changed nothing about Elder Scrolls Oblivion, except that the game only had two enemy types it would be regarded ad one of the best games ever, it would be recognized as a great game with some lame aspects. Who wants to see the exact same animation a million times over unless it's a gun reload animation?? Sorry but I strive to play quality games

no enough darkness powers for me i seen the same finishing move where the thing comes out the enemy's stomach every time. In the comic book the main character had an army of those little demons who would do most of the killing and all i seen was 1 little guy drive a truck through a door. i would like to see a lot more availability of the darkness powers and better weapons. It should be like combining Hit Man with Prototype lol then u could see my idea of the best video game of the comic book of "The Darkness"

I'd kind a guessed that several games slated for release in october and november would start to be delayed about now. There is a lot of competition at that time (Arkham City, BF3, MW3, Skyrim) and I was surprised that developers put so many games up for release during that period. So we've had Mass Effect 3, Ghost Recon and now The Darkness 2 drop out of that time slot.

Oh son of a *****!!

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Illagueril1 That's one of the worst reasons for not liking a game I've ever heard.

The first Darkness was forgettable at best, I'm sorry folks. That game was nothin but boring straight forward gunplay with forgettable enemys and story. I probably played about 2-3 hours and ran in back to gamestop to get my money back. It was so lame that only one of you snake things ever ate the heart, WTF?? So the other one never eats but it's still alive?? And for something you might do hundreds of times during one Play through it's confusing that they only made one animation of the one the right grabs the heart, the one on the left try's to take it from the one on the right but can't, and after seeing that three times I was highly irritated by the PS1 feeling that gave me. I definite not buy

Hey can he use those hands for m*****b*tion??? because if it were possible then it would be painful......My g***tals already hurt thinking about it....ouch!!

god damn , i can't believe the delay !!!:(

Dang...I was really hoping to get my Halloween on with this game :(

@Eggs-Benedict I thought HomeFront was developed by Kaos Studios. Is there something i'm not following?

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

@Dasim64, Well, no duh, of course we all know it's not just about polishing it up, lol. But still, if they're gonna skip releasing during the last qtr of this year, the least they CAN do is make sure it also looks & performs at its best. Might as well use the timeframe to their advantage, I say.

I'm not surprised and I expect quite a few other bumps into early 2012.... with as packed as the release schedule is for the last three months of this year

Oh poo....oh well, that's not necessarily a bad thing. For one, it's gonna get to crowded around that time of the year anyway. Secondly that gives me an opportunity to eventually squeeze in the first one, lol.

The Darkness it is great game I hope the second will be the same

Let's hope the Angelus is going to be somehow involved in this one. Or even the Witchblade! :D (For those who don't read the comic: The Angelus is pretty much the opposite of the Darkness. The Light side. And the Witchblade is in between the two, meaning it is the balance.)

hmmm, im not diggin the graphics

Good, just too many games to be released in oct.

2K is awesome. the first darkness was pretty good. it's too bad it didn't have much to do but certainly eating hearts and pulling special moves was great. plus, 2K is doing the right thing delaying it. bioshock was awesome, bioshock 2 aswell, bioshock infinite will be epic, borderlands.... 2K FTW!

Hmm, never played the first one. I guess it never hit the PC. I will keep an eye out though since this one is hitting the PC.

Better, that they fix up more things than releasing it early. besides it lightens the load of all the great games coming out between Fall/winter months.

Same guys who made Dark Sector and Homefront..... well there goes any chance of it being any good.

o good looks 2K

As much as I want to play this game (first one was one of my favorite games this gen) I totally understand the move. This game would have been annihilated had it been released in Q4 of 2011, just way to many bigger name games being released around the same time. Hopefully with a February release it will have room to breath and more opportunity to catch consumers' eyes.

Awesome I loved the first one!

It's for the best. There are way too many games coming out in that window. I'm a HUGE fan of the first game, and even I'd've been hard-pressed to pick this up on day one. Whereas in February, it shouldn't be a problem. I really hope Digital Extremes picks up where Starbreeze left off.

Same as everyones saying, I'm sorta glad they pushed it back. There are so many amazing games coming out in the period of September to December and I had no idea how I was going to play them all, let alone get them in the first place. But I still can't wait! :D

In a way, I'm actually glad they're delaying it until February because there's already a ton of games out this year I still need to play and even more being released between now and the end of the year. Plus I'll get a chance to play through the first Darkness again before the sequel comes out.

Not a bad move. It'll give them more time to work on it and they're more likely to sell more since it's not coming out at the same time as a lot of other huge games.

Always wanted do play the Darkness, but never had the chance. I'm glad they will release the second one on PC too.

I hope Sara Pezzini (of Witchblade) gets a cameo here.

Well at least...I know I can save some money now...All these games coming out so soon...

@MEDzZ3RO probably not but thats because the 1st game came out around when the xbox360 1st launched. its been quite some time.

In is good to delay the Darkness 2 in order to have all the gliches worked out.I'm patient besides this will help make the Darkness 2 a great game instead of a rushed O.K game.

Much better to delay games 3-4 months than push them out. That's how you get Korriban in KOTOR 2. I'd rather wait and get the complete package. Also, Dasim64's right, there are some big big games coming out toward the end of the year that are going to chew up some wallets. This way In Feb, it's after the big boys and before the next wave of the 2012ers

i hope this is better than the first one

Am I the only one who hasn't ever heard of this game or its series?

No surprise there, but this game is gonna own

Yeah... October is not a good month to release this game in. February will give it a fighting chance and it deserves it. I doubt they are still working on the game. It will be sitting in storage waiting to be shipped at a time when it has some breathing room.

its just me or the FOV of the game is very close? Anyway looks great sad we have to wait longer but no problem with deus ex and oblivion i think i can :P

ha ha this isn't them polishing the game. This is them admitting that they'll get their asses handed to them on a platter if they put this out late in the year when all the really big titles are coming out. I don't blame them at all but don't make it out to be more than it is simply because you are a fan of the series. They're just making a smart financial move with this announcement.

Wise dicision, Darkness 2 won't stand a chance against Rage and Twisted Metal.
