This new video of Darksiders features Madureira and Vigil's general manager, David Adams, talking about all of the nifty stuff you can see and do thanks to the game's open world nature. It's worth noting that the video is from the upcoming E3 demo of Darksiders, meaning that we'll get our hands on the game's latest milestone later this month to report on all the nitty-gritty (and pretty-pretty) details.

"There's my steed!"
Priceless!

Thanks! Now every time I see this game I'll think of Daffy Duck and Penises.

that was pretty sexy

That looks Awesome!

This game is like God of War crossed with the exploration and adventureish gameplay of Metroid Prime (in which one of the lead designers is now a part of this Darksiders team). I can't wait to play it!

Do you know which Retro designer is at Vigil now?

I loled at the caption.

Reminds me of a mix between God of war and Shadowman.
Faar @ Jul 4th 2008 5:30AM
+1 for mentioning Shadow Man.
Damn, that game was the coolest ever... :P

I think that I just came into my pants...*looks down* yep

that statue kicking puzzle looks almost exactly like God of War, as does the temple place. it still looks good though and it will certainly stay on my radar cause it looks damn fun.
Dwag @ Jul 4th 2008 1:01AM
Must I say this is better than inFAMOUS. looks cool might give those 360 owners who wanted a God of War game on they 360s a good scratching. i hope they don't completely mess everything up.

The horse came out of the ground. Jesus christ, this game looks so hot.
John McPoop (PSN:johnnynumber5) @ Jul 4th 2008 1:13AM
Certainly has piqued my interest!
Its kind of like God Of War though. Hopefully its more homage than a total rip.
I want to see some more CHampions Online videos! Thats an open world game I can really get into.
jcd @ Jul 4th 2008 10:56AM
Hopefully it's not a homage at all.

Looks like this might be a decent alternative to Too Human, unless it has no story.

I invented plastic bags.
Dwag @ Jul 4th 2008 2:55AM
When is this gonna be released? Of 09 then cool I've have money by then to buy this and Protoype.
Will @ Jul 4th 2008 5:04AM
Did I just see him firing a machine gun while riding by on a horse? Like, seriously?
Shit.
Zsavior @ Jul 4th 2008 5:36AM
Yup I wanted this game for a while. It still doesn't look like it is disappointing. I can't wait to play it.

This game looks neat. I'm glad someone has some original ideas for settings occasionally.
The setup sounds a lot like Zelda, but with more advanced combat and platforming.
Legend of the God Prince of the Sands of War's Ocarina.

Somwhere Eric Dyack is watching this trailer going "oh fuck, oh fuck, we fucked it up, oh fuck" and starting a flame war at NeoGAF.

With Jim Lee doing DC Universe Online and McFarlane doing Copernicus, and now Madureira creating Darksiders -- Wow, there seems to be a total media shift within the comic industry.
Alex M @ Jul 4th 2008 12:09PM
I think it's like a Zelda game. Only darker, better-looking, and with what looks like a much-improved battle system. :)
Triple07 @ Jul 4th 2008 5:25PM
I really want this game to be amazing...PLEASE BE AMAZING!
I have high hopes though. But I have been very wrong before...
JohnHeist @ Jul 4th 2008 7:43PM
War?
As in "War, Famine, Death, Conquest" War?
Fucking sweet.
