The first was a supah sleeper hit that I enjoyed quite a bit and though I've known for some time now that a sequel was in the works, after watching this, mah hype meter is rising and this bad boy is back on my radar. :D

Anyone else ?

I heard tho didn't try it for myself and I guess we need to hope that The Darkness wasn't just a fluke for them. :o We'll see.

Darkness was good, but they are going to have to step it up. Nothing amazing was out in the FPS market at that time, now there is, I have a feeling it won't seem quite as good as it once did. Now Prey 2, that looks sick.

Looks neat. Just noticed the first game in a bargin bin a few days ago. Seems like how things usually are. Just look at it and out pops a sequel.

It wasn't the best in the west or anything and just caught me and I think others by surprise but what it was is unique, fun, and a interesting, entertaining play through that I'd really enjoy a sequel to live up to. It's certainly not the same old same old sorta shooter. :P

The first was excellent but this isn't being handled by Starbreeze so I'm not exactly sure that I'm interested.

Although it is not the same developers as the first one I am looking forward to it. The first one is one of the most overlooked games this gen.

It released before those games. Like I stated, the market didn't any heavy contenders when it came out. So point is null.

Dunno if you remember 2007 but that was like one of the biggest years in gaming ever, especially for shooters. Not only that, The Darkness went under the radar at the time, despite a few knowing it was developed by Starbreeze.

I only played it this year, and I can't believe I missed it for years. It's a fantastic game, and it makes me want to day one the sequel (which actually looks even better).

I just want the sequel to be a refined version of the original. I'd rather they don't 'step it up'. If by 'step it up' you mean loud noises and flashy graphics a la Battlefield 3 which has everyone frothing at the mouth, stepping it up can **** right off :P. I made the mistake of missing it for Crysis, Halo 3 and CoD 4 back in 2007. I'm not going to make the same mistake again.

I was waiting for a sequel for years :D. Truly one of the finer FPS titles out there (and one of the few comic book games that don't suck :P) so yeah...ever since I heard there was a sequel it's been on my radar.

Ahh they made Dark Sector, I was wondering why this seemed familiar in terms of gameplay, that game was pretty fun but it got repetitive pretty quickly, I hope this is paced a bit better.

Really looking forward to this. I was skeptical at first about The Darkness sequel being handled by someone else other than Starbreeze but everything is looking really great so far.

The Darkness was my GOTY for 2007 and i hope the darkness 2 is next, i'm just worried that this isn't the same dev and they made it cell shaded, kinda ruins the the dark look of the game and the atmposphere.TheGuardian03
I'm actually really liking the new art style. The Darkness is, after all, based on a comic and I think the art style brings out that look really well.

I wonder if it'll have multiplayer. The multiplayer in the first game was borderline useless and I'd like to see the franchise focus on the single player. Prey 2 looks amazing and it won't have a mulitplayer component, which is nice.

I remember playing the first one, it took me a while, but I really started to enjoy it. Especially the end. I thought it was pretty funny you could watch T.v in the game.

That new trailer with the crazy guy was badass. I have a feeling this one will easily best the first game.. and the first game was brilliant. I can't wait.

It has guns but I'm more apt to call it a kinda dark, story driven adventure with some cleverness. :o

But yes again, guns are in the game so if they scare ya, best you skip this one as it has a spooky feel to it as well....... Booo !! :P
