Wow @ this new game by Starbreeze!

Asuka · Apr 30, 2006

Made by the guys that made The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. This looks amazing! Dunno the style and gfx art approach is really cool.

1st REAL screenshots are here: http://xbox360.qj.net/The-Darkness-New-Screens/pg/49/aid/31734

Its being released on the 360 and PS3. Dunno if i should wait and get the PS3 version expecting better GFX. This looks really good. Looks like a really beefed up version of the engine used in Riddick. Hummm so now console wise we got...

Theres also a old trailer up: http://ps3.qj.net/The-Darkness-720p-HD-E3-2005-Trailer/pg/49/aid/10076

<3 this developer... there's a good chance this will be awsome!

sinkoman · Apr 30, 2006

Looks like the Lithtech engine.

IE FEAR.

Asuka · Apr 30, 2006

Pretty sure they are using their own engine. http://www.starbreeze.com/engine.jsp

VictimOfScience · Apr 30, 2006

Yeah, we've actually known about this one for a while now. Looks alright, but gameplay is...???

I don't know what is making it really special, so I am not super excited just yet....

ktimekiller · Apr 30, 2006

Looks ****in amazing

P43.2/1Gig/X800P · Apr 30, 2006

Man looks AWSOME!

TheHamster22 · Apr 30, 2006

Looks boring, whats special about this game?

jimbo118 · Apr 30, 2006

Riddick was awesome, hopefully this'll be good.

Murray · Apr 30, 2006

I liked the Riddick game. But replay value was in the crapper.
It was impressive for a swedish programming team though.

Hope they make a good game this time as well.

Gargantou · Apr 30, 2006

Can't say I'm impressed by the graphics, nothing we've never seen before..
And the shadows bugs the hell out of me these days, I want proper SOFTSHADOWS, not these damn ugly Doom 3-style shadows that're clear as ****ing hell!>_<

Bad^Hat · Apr 30, 2006

Actually looks really old school to me. The texture detail is so high that everything else suffers for it. Overall it looks pretty plain.

Gray Fox · Apr 30, 2006

It looks very nice to me, cause it's very atmospheric.

Asknoone · Apr 30, 2006

Nice. Very nice.

Warbie · Apr 30, 2006

Looking good. I really enjoyed Riddick, let's hope this is even better

Hypnosos · Apr 30, 2006

I really liked escape from butcher bay, really nice game. Hopefully this will be good aswell. Time will tell, I guess.

Gorgon · Apr 30, 2006

EFBB one of the best games I ve played

dam, no PC version ?

Przemek · Apr 30, 2006

I hope there will be a PC version. If the conversion would be as good as in Riddick for PC, it would be awesome - Riddick looks great and runs perfectly on my comp

BabyHeadCrab · Apr 30, 2006

Cool, you can download the in-house dev tool they created for starbreeze engine.

DarkStar · Apr 30, 2006

This is my favorite:

:O

Asuka · Apr 30, 2006

That screenshot and the one with the "thing" going into the police officer when he is in the air. Looks crazy.

That said, the Lithtech engine still looks awesome. I've been playing AVP2 and it still looks awesome.

FEAR wasn't Lithtech. Monolith created a new engine for FEAR instead of using their existing Lithtech engine.

Wasn't the ORIGINAL Lithtech engine, but still Lithtech.

dream431ca · Apr 30, 2006

Indeed. I'll watch this one.

hungryduck · May 1, 2006

woohoo. another scripted FPS that claims to have "next-gen" graphics.

You ever play Riddick?

If you had, you'd probably be excited about this.

Sebastian · May 1, 2006

Riddick was masterfully done. one of the best fps IMO

Gargantou · May 1, 2006

I'm gonna buy this even if it sucks, just to support my Swedish brethren!

VirusType2 · May 1, 2006

Yea I've been watching this game since before the 360 came out. It really has come a long way.

This is the only game to get me excited since Oblivion. It just looks nearly perfect already, and the exact type of game I like. Horribly beautiful, moody and dark first person shooter. Holy shit it looks awesome. Goodbye Doom.

I hope they put soft shadows eventually, the edges of the shadows are hard lines. I also hope the vehicles take realistic damage when shot.

The most important thing: I hope it is fun and has allot of replay. If a game isn't fun enough to play all the way through several times, it's not worth buying IMO.

Gargantou · May 1, 2006

I myself ain't that impressed by the graphics, however if this is as fun as Chronicles of Riddick it'll be great, too bad it probably will not have a high replay value, but that's not a big deal for me really, Chronicles of Riddick was easily worth it none the less imo.
When I buy "action" FPSes, I just want an overall engrossing experience, if it's great the first time through, I'm fine, replay value only matters alot on other games, like RPGs(Oblivion) and racing games etc.

weskerQ8 · May 1, 2006

Starbreeze is a very good team.. wow riddick

ailevation · May 1, 2006

I agree with the guy in QJ.NET, the first picture with the cars do look like 7 series BMW.

Game looks great espescially the subway pic with the peeps coming out... looks real immersive.

Unfocused · May 1, 2006

Oh shit, he's firing two desert eagles in one of the screenshots! Sw33t! <3

torso boy · May 1, 2006

That wierd "Darkness" arm thingie looks like a physics manipulator of some sort.

TwwIX · May 1, 2006

It's based on a comic book.
I think they're also working on a movie based on it.
here's some more info on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkness_(comics)

Looks like Todd McFarlane art. Love that guys ART (Creator of spawn) Looks like a interesting comic.

The Brick · May 2, 2006

I love photos.

Garfield_ · May 3, 2006

And me who was hoping for another Riddick game

Anyway this pic looks fantastic, such a great atmosphere and realism, the city shots look quite odd or incorrect in an unexplainable way...

Loke · May 3, 2006

I like how it's civilians in the game, feels more natural and much more alive.

MGS4 is said to have civilians too, can’t wait to see that. :E
