Exclusive Darksiders II Trailer Fights Demons

By Brian P Rubin | 18 June 2012 | 5 Comments   

So we’ve got this exclusive Darksiders II trailer, and it’s live-action, which I’ve always found to be kind of a freaky thing in video game previews. It’s a cool way to get juices flowing about a game’s action and excitement, but at the end of the day, it always looks fairly ridiculous.

This one, however, doesn’t really look ridiculous at all. I think it actually looks pretty freakin’ cool…probably because we don’t linger too much on real people doing insanely video-gamey things. But the special effects that we do get look pretty great, what with all the demon makeup and Death’s awesome-looking face. I’m into it.

Darksiders II is set to come out for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on August 14, with a Wii U release scheduled for the holidays, I believe. What do you think? Are you stoked for this game? Or are you feeling more “meh”?

    ‘Demon makeup’? Death and all the demons are CGI. What an awful trailer, why on earth do companies insist on mixing equal parts live-action and CGI?

    What’s wrong with mixing CGI with live action? Most movies today are CGI heavy and they do good. So long as it looks good and focuses on the main character then its all k.
