A gameplay trailer for The Darkness II was released today. It's marked as an E3 20111 trailer but since E3 doesn't start until next week I'm going to refuse to call it that. It's not an E3 trailer because I'm not at E3. It's NOT!

It shows off a lot of action, some darkness, quad-wielding of weapons (you read that right) and a somewhat cell-shaded look which is quite a departure from the first game. There is also some of Mike Patton's vocal work as The Darkness.  Oh...and there's a spoiler from the first game in the trailer as well, so if you have yet to play The Darkness you might want to give it a pass.

    Sometimes I like the art style, other times I think it is kind of meh. Mike Patton is still amazing as the Darkness but Jackie's new VA still drives me nuts.

    I need a demo.

    As always, The Darkness gives me shivers down my spine. I never did like the way it affected me so, but I can't help it to admire how well it's done. Also, the art style.. I liked the hyper-realistic of The Darkness 1 more, but who knows. Maybe they won't be trying to delve into the horror genre as much with this game..

    Maybe.. just maybe... could this be another action game here to claim the Call of Duty market? Oh god, let it be so. The world needs to be flooded with more crappy action games.

    Can't say I prefer this art style over the old one, but it's the Darkness, so I'm in.

    I liked the first ones art style more, but it seems like they can really push the gore levels with this cartoony/comic book style. THAT DUDE GOT RIPPED IN HALF VERTICALLY. So awesome.

    Is "E3 20111" a typo or something I don't quite understand.

    I like the unique art style, yet another game that isn't attempting to do the 'realism' many other games fail at.

    I wonder if women will still try and stop you from exiting the metro washroom.

    Awesome! I just hope it has a better aim and weapon management system.

    I wonder how they will tie in this to the pervious Darkness, didn't Jackie beat the darkness in the end?
