The Darkness lead designer spills some beans on the game
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.
