Lens of Truth writes -"Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head! This week we head into the darkness to uncover the graphical differences between The Darkness II on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A few weeks ago we took a closer look at the demo version, lets see if any changes have been made in the final build."
Hunble Bundle is currently offering free copies of The Darkness 2 for the next 48 hours. The Darkness 2 is an intense first person shooter that – according to its description – delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror.
This is why I don't buy video games anymore. I have a huge Steam backlog and developers are gracious enough to offer their products for free. Fortnite is free, Darkness is free, lots of good free games. Thanks Humble
The Darkness II has received some huge price cuts, the game is currently available at just $5.99 on Steam, 85% lower than its original price $39.99.
I had a blast with the 1st one. It was perfect. The 2nd not that much, was pretty forgettable tbh and the cell shading, although beautiful, was not my kind of tea
That said, if they make a 3rd one they should make it a bit closer to the original's...vibe and looks.
I still enjoyed 2, it still kept some of the neat things from the first one. Having said that, the first is considerably better, I'd rather the 3rd (somehow) end up being made by machine games which seems to be where a fair amount of the darkness/butchers bay devs ended up.
are we talking switch ports again or why is another lastGen game in the headlines?
I personally enjoyed this one more than first game (even though I think first one is good too)
Matt Ferguson from G4@Syfygames writes "When I think of tragic love stories and star-crossed lovers, I can't recall a more heart-wrenching example than Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano from The Darkness. What begins as a romantic story between two people from very different worlds ends abruptly in a horrific tragedy, drawing many parallels from the works of Classical Greek tragedians and epic poets."
Still own a copy of both of them. The Darkness III on PS4/PC/XONE would be awesome.
game looks meh on both consoles IMO.
A very strange art style to compare graphics.
On the close up shots, the 360 version looks much better then the PS3 version.
Yeah I don't know if I like the style either, but it probably looks better in motion. Both look equally blah.
PS3 looks better on most of the pictures..and knowing what Digitalfoundry reported about PS3 having less screen tear I would pick the PS3 version.
But I aint...Pc wins on this one :P
Screens don't really do it much justice really. In motion it's like a being in a graphic novel. The NY skyline from Jackies pad is particularly impressive.
