2K Games discusses The Darkness' latest |
Ó
GameSpot interviews Denby Grace, producer for 2K, to get a heads up of what has been the development of late on Starbreeze Studios' latest work: The Darkness. It's a game loosely based on one of Top Cow's comics called "Resurrection". It introduces this mafia hitman named Jackie Estacado and his 21st birthday surprise gift: the Darkness. The game has just entered its Alpha phase and much of the remaining features get polished up. Starbreeze's well-received title, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, is just as polished and 2K sees their responsibility for doing the same for The Darkness. They raised the whole cinematic feel of the game with effects such as motion blur and bullet trails. And there's a new model of Jackie, looking much, much better than before.
The connection between WWI and the contemporary New York setting couldn't be revealed as it would ruin the whole story, but the WWI reference seems to come out of the gameplay feel, as Jackie entrenches himself with allies who will fight on his side...still don't get it? 2K did say it was a twisted story anyway...
Blu-ray for the PS3 offers Starbreeze with a chance to include actual TV shows for realistic TV viewing in the game for additional content. Players will watch television anyway to get some mission-specific information that only could be viewed in the old tubes. Multiplayer also offers instant action and intense combat with an Alien Versus Predator feel as the Darklings can climb walls, move faster, see in the dark and attack with claws. Shapeshifting shoves the player into becoming a Darkling, so that he can experience the "Alien" side in single player mode.
The Darkness is slated for a 2007 second quarter release.

ps3 version will be the best, 360 version will be poo.
as in the biggest waste of time as the blu-ray drive reads data as slow as sony fans read words. Remember how epic the load times on ps2 were? especially the first generation titles. Gamecube and xbox have much quicker load times. besides who playsa game to "watch tv" that sounds really stupid to me.
ever heard of a hard drive?
