I'm all for them remaining true to the original, but no Kirk Acevedo saddens me!

So no Mike Patton? Graphical change (but it's not cel-shading it's art noir? WTF?)

I thought the original was perfect just the way it was. Every time a dev goes for major changes the game gets all fucked up. I hope I am wrong but this would be like Metallica, back in the 80's putting out a "Metal Noir" CD with a new singer instead of Master of Puppets.

Mike Patton is still on board I think.

It's good to hear they stay true to the original Starbreeze game and the comic...i have high hopes for this game! In my opinion The Darkness is 1 of the best adaptations of a comic into a game ever! And 1 of the Classics of this Generation anybody who missed it should check it out, fresh gameplay(RPG/FPS mixed in a way only Starbreeze can manage)rugged variable environments/original take on fight and shoot mechanics/the minions gameplay combined with The Darkness are a joy etc too many things to mention in the gameplay section....Great voice actors/awesome graphics that still outdo most games this gen. Just check it out!

The Darkness was an amazing game... But the controls where sluggish =(

Back then developers where stuggling with PS3.

Hope you guys went and picked up the Darkness II prequel comic today since it was free comic book day

Pfft, changed Jackie's voice actor. Changed visuals. Who knows what else. Staying true my ass. I am a HUGE fan of darkness 1 an these changes are unsettling.

I suppose like any game, if you are a fan, or if you've never played the game before, then it's worth it. The Darkness 2 is worth a replay for sure, but I'd really like the original game to be added to the list. The Darkness was one of my favorite experiences last gen.

Chevalier2279d ago

Spec Ops was a pretty good game. May scoop that up cheap and play it again

XbladeTeddy2279d ago

Loved Spec Ops. Completed that 3 times. Had a brilliant narrative.

MadLad2279d ago

Re-install it on Steam for a quick run-through every year or so.

Still waiting for MGS HD Collection

Deep-throat2279d ago

Wait for something greater bro! MGS 1-4 remaster!

PUBG2279d ago

I would love to see MGS4 remastered. That game was another one of my top games from last gen.

TheColbertinator2279d ago

Yeah thats fine too. I just want Peace Walker on the X and/or Steam.

GamesMaster19822279d ago (Edited 2279d ago )

Sorry bro but no console ever will ever get to experience MGS4 apart for PS3. Yeah it’s a shame. All to do with how hard it was to make for the PS3 console,and is impossible to replicate apart from say remaking it from scratch

iNcRiMiNaTi2279d ago

That and Zoe HD collection would be cool too

Pantz2279d ago

YESS always wanted to get around to playing Darkness 2 and Spec Ops. Thanks Xbox!

Darkwatchman2279d ago

I hope Spec-Ops: The Line gets the 4K enhancement like some of the backwards compatible titles have. I love that game.

Profchaos2279d ago

I'd love to see midnight club LA and max Payne 3 get the BC treatment

Hmmmm...

Wolfenstein looks tempting. I own the rest.

Jaqen_Hghar3483d ago

A man is quite assured Shadow of Mordor will be at most $30 on Black Friday after seeing that :)

Hopefully a man can get that and Sleeping Dogs Definitive for sub $30 and then TWD Season 1 and 2 and Wolf Among Us disc versions for sub $20 on Black Friday.
