Darksiders: Gunplay-Heavy Sequel Will Not Alienate Fans

SPOnG: "Lead designer Haydn Dalton told SPOnG that, although the studio will likely introduce new gunplay mechanics as a primary focus, there will still be a melee component to avoid alienating those who are used to the last two Darksiders games."

the last two?

Speaking of the 3 then. I don't like much gunplay, so yeah, swords & axes please :p

second game isnt even out yet?

Played through it...there really isn't that much to do with guns. They are used as a mechanic for things but only required in a few places. It's a great change of pace when it is introduced...swords & axes are the main event BY FAR

I'm guessing that you are referring to playing the first Darksiders, correct?

Or perhaps, somehow, you have already been lucky enough to get your hands on the second one.

However, this article is about what they may do with a non existent sequel to a game that has yet to be released.*

I'm not being rude at all. I'm just confused as to how playing the first and/or second game means you know how the guns will be in the third.

I got to play through 2 for a THQ playtest and though still under NDA about most details...there is an introduction of guns in the second one. I suppose I did not clarify enough but was just pointing out that thought the the game does offer new mechanics...it still holds true to the original.

***Sorry for being a touch Off topic***

So I'm assuming we can expect...

Darksiders: War
Darksiders 2: Death
Darksiders 3: Strife
Darksiders 4: Fury

Then... maybe?

Darksiders 5: 4-Player Co-Op?
