SDCC: Darksiders II Stage Demo.
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
//reposted and updated for the next page
Its time to update Darksiders II list of features:
- Everything in Darksiders 2 is bigger and better than from DS1.
- It has upgraded engine that has more user-configurable options and can show much more on the screen.
- Great mix of agile combat [no block, only dodging], agile traversal [much faster than in DS1] and puzzles.
- Storyline that will greatly expand upon the lore of DS1, new & old chars. Story is running in parallel with DS1 during majority of the game, far away from Earth and War. We dont known if there will be reunion of horsemen.
- Four big playing areas. Each in new environment, each large as entire DS1.
- 25+ hours for main storyline, with crapton of sidequests and sidejobs.
- Expanded character building options - fully featured skill trees, and fully customizable gear.
- Loot, loot, loot.
- Because of all that loot, all animations are this time rendered in-game. No more crappy compressed FMV's.
- NO MULTIPLAYER
- NO COOP
- You get badass looking horse from very beginning of the game.
- Voiceactor for Death is Michael Wincott, and you main couselor is James Cosmo
Fresh info from Vigil developer:
- Confirmed no tearing in PS3/X360 version of the game. X360 gets the game on one disc.
- Diablo 3 Hardcore mode is in [under the name of Nightmare Mode]. One death in combat = permanent death and total loss of campaign progress.
- MAGs are in. Possessed Weapons [rare&unique weapon lootz] must be fed with other random items to enable them to level up and gain more abilities and damage.
- Trading of items between players is in.
- Fast Travel. You can go into your map and instantly teleport to any location that you previously visited.
- New Game+ is in. You keep all your loot, enemies gets tougher and you gain % to find new tier of weapons which can have exclusive NG+ attributes.
- In addition to traditional weapon combos, your secondary weapons can be chained-in for their "signature attack", Scythe has its own rhythm-based/delayed-button press combos, and legendary weapons have their own special attacks.
- Re-spec of tech trees is possible!
Nice video overview of the game

Who says this will be an achievement, and who says you even need to get it?
Yeah yeah, or like Diablo II Hardcore.
And it might not be an achievement in the game but it's definitely something I want to try out, as frustrating as it might be.
Anyways, all good news. I'm always up for a good Zelda-like game, and I really liked DarkSiders.

We barely talked about SDCC gameplay demo in last 3-4 pages.
Doooo it!

I'd say all that new info deserves it's own thread.
