Get ready to be enveloped by the cold, creepy grabby-hands of The Darkness, as we show off a few new screenshots given to us by 2KGames. The four new images look damn decent, though pretty much like a standard sci-fi shooter. I hope the "darkness" powers add something new to the mix.
The game is due out around the same time as a new movie, produced by the folks who brought us the Crow. If the game and film are hits, maybe we'll see a little bit of another Silvestri comic based on the same world, the Witchblade. That book's main character is decidedly less clothed and less male than the Darkness. Not that it matters...
Based on the best-selling Top Cow comic book, The Darkness casts players as Jackie Estacado, a fearless Mafia hitman for the Franchetti crime family who is suddenly possessed by the terrifying and spectacular powers of The Darkness. Throughout the game, players must learn to control and harness The Darkness power in order to overthrow the vicious mob boss and fulfill their destiny. The Darkness features a seamless and unique blend of modern crime drama and supernatural horror through first and third-person, non-linear gameplay. Utilizing the Starbreeze engine for next generation consoles, The Darkness features single and online multi-player action across highly realistic environments.
