Retrospective Return - The Darkness

Avid Gamer writes;

"Retrospective Return is a look at older games to see whether they're worth a revisit. Ranging from unknown gems or bargain bin failures, we'll revisit any games that we think deserve it.

However you choose to look at it, £40 is a lot of cash for a video game. To get me to open my wallet a game must therefore be pretty special, and for every game that demands instant purchase on release, many more don't quite meet my mental benchmark. However, fast-forward 6 months and many chart titles start wearing much more appealing price stickers…"

I got this a few days ago and its great. All of the life after death and hell stuff Jackie talks about seems to be rather true from all the programs I've seen about it.

I bought it when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I had just got my PS3 so that may have helped and I was also a big fan of the comics a few years ago. The darkness skills were all good fun to use and the darklings or whatever they were called added a nice dark humour to it. The voice acting was well done and Mike Patton makes for a badass Darkness. (I can't wait for Bionic Commando!)

The only thing that gutted me slightly was the lack of his cool looking suit from the comics but then again it was an FPS so you hardly got to see much of Jackie at all.

DevastationEve6687d ago

there's nothing like it yet! Jackie's life went TOTALLY f*cked up, as he tries to get revenge, control the Darkness, and keep his girl safe. It has the best voice acting Ive heard in a while, plus the story ain't your typical patriotic hero versus anti america villain. And, it's got the Mafia! Take the best of Max Payne (another f*cked up hero) give him MEAN SH*T and then make IT his ENEMY! The Darkness was a blockbuster that could have been a best seller. But hey, at least now it can be a secret underground legend.

Sounds like a remaster of The Darkness game may be in the works

The CEO of Nightdive Studios has said in a tweet that the game is currently on the list for a modern update.

isarai977d ago

Oh I'm sold already, Nightdive does really solid remasters, and to this day I still love the darkness

Leeroyw977d ago

Mike Patton of Faith No More did the voice too. It was such a great game.

Quetzll977d ago

Had no idea and i absolutely love FNM and Patton. Gonna go back and play this game.

Snookies12977d ago

The Darkness was awesome! Here's hoping a remaster might lead to a new game!

RaidenBlack977d ago

Darkness 1 is coming to PC! .... OMG!

isarai977d ago

That honestly might be the biggest W here. Darkness with RTX would be neat to see

I_am_Batman977d ago

Excellent news. The Darkness is one of my all-time favorite games and the sequel is great too. I've just recently had a great time replaying them on my PS3. Unfortunately it's kinda hard to recommend them these days, because they're stuck on PS3 and 360 so a remaster would certainly be appreciated. Nightdive has been killing it lately.

DefenderOfDoom2977d ago

Awesome, I loved The Darkness made by Starbreeze who a lot them are now developers at Machine Games . Yes , again thank you Nightdive !

Dagexon976d ago

Now I'm hoping they remaster more of starbreeze's games. Namely the chronicles of riddick games

DefenderOfDoom2976d ago

Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay , is one my favorite gaming experience I ever had . Great game .!

ModsDoBetter977d ago

Excellent games.
Recently ran through The Darkness 2 on PS3 again.

I hated the switch in style when it first came out but they're both amazing games.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1330d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1330d ago (Edited 1330d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp730d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
