An interview conducted over at Eurogamer covers the upcoming title The Darkness. They sat down with lead designer Jens Andersson and the main points from the interview are below:- The story has been changed heavily from the comics, but the writer of the comics has been at their side to okay every move.
- PC version is unannounced, but likely. Andersson says they'd really like to put it on the PC.
- Online multiplayer will let you be darklings (creepy crawly dudes) as well as the main to keep the action fresh and pretty surprising.
- Jens believes the game has the potential to be a big hit on the PS3 because "there's so little competition that I've seen on the PS3."
- No 1080p support -- will probably be a standard resolution across Xbox 360 and PS3 instead.
- Extra content on the PS3 version, but no real gameplay tweaks/additions.
- 10-15 hours of gameplay, estimated for single player.
- Metal based soundtracks \m/,
So there you have it: a quick run-down of the latest info regarding The Darkness. There's a little more in the actual interview, but it's nothing all that particular towards the game itself. Will this game contend with Resistance? It seems different enough, being more third-person. In truth, there isn't a game quite like this on the launchpad for the PS3. We'll keep our eyes on it when 2007 rolls around.
