That concept art makes me hopeful about Death's combat options.
Mostly whether or not he can go from two-handed scythes, to slamming those suckers together for a double-bladed scythe and whirling out some serious... Well, death, I suppose.

Is it bad that I want death to play like some sort of mix between Guilty Gear's Testament and Mike Haggar?

I'd love Pro-Wrestler Death in a hockey mask. With Dual Wield Scythes. Jesus christ what am I missing out of the ultimate XTREME 90s here? Huge belt with pouches?
but pile driving a wraith or demon dog would be pretty baller
I'm moderately excited about Darksiders 2, but double scythes is just dumb.
Let me break it down for you: there are two of them. There is nothing that having two of isn't good. Nothing. I defy you to think of a thing that having two of those things isn't a good thing.
You can't say "tumors." That doesn't count.
I defy you to think of a thing (other than tumors) that having two of those things isn't a good thing. Also, you can't say "scythes." You already said that.
Well, it's mostly that I think one big scythe would be much better than two smaller scythes. At least for initial showing off.
I'm imagining an excahange that went a little like this:
"He's Death, he can't not have a scythe as his main weapon"
"But War already had one"
"I know, give him two scythes!"
I"m very curious about what little story is given in that cover reveal. In the Darksiders comic, War basically guts Death with chaoseater and it's like "Silly man, I'm invulnerable". Going to need a hell of a de-powering to make him a protagonist.

I don't think you could make a scythe much bigger than War's scythe, unless Death, himself, was entirely scythe.
Which would be pretty bitchin, come to think of it.

Yeah, I've been wondering about this also.
I'm kinda fedup with this genre having a massive depowering of a character that's supposed to be super hardcore right at the start. It's even worse when they tease you with his/her full range of powers before stripping them away. I'd kinda like to see one where your character starts off hardcore and actually loses powers graduall until at the very end you've got almost nothing left. Or hell, just have the main character stay fully powered but leave the discovery of how those powers work completely to the player. Sure that whole mechanic would be ruined by one trip to a FAQ, but whatever.

Well...
Death is just a killer of Man, right?
Demons, elementals, angelic beings, that type of stuff might be, y'know...tougher to kill than humans.
Except they couldn't do Famine and still give her big tits
Yeah, its like somebody was asleep at the wheel when they came up with the idea of Famine as a woman...

Well, they also renamed Pestilence, didn't they? Fury. Because Famine and Pestilence are boring or something.
The sad thing about it is that Pestilence was originally (y'know, in the Bible) called Conquest. Fucking Conquest! And they call him Fury? I'd much rather play a dude called fucking Conquest than Fury.

Now I'm not sure. I thought they had gone with War, Death, Pestilence and Strife. I'm probably misremembering.
In any case, the one they renamed is female.
edit: Holy fuck, they changed BOTH of them. Jesus christ you do not change the fucking Horsemen of the Apocolypse people! Anyway, yeah, Fury is the woman. Pestilence was changed to Strife and given two guns. And looking at the actual Bible verses, War and Death and Conquer are pretty blatant, the fourth is murkily defined at best but seems to be either Famine or Inflation.
I like Death's look. It's hilarious. He's so huge that dual wielding scythes looks more like dual wielding oddly shaped axes.
I dunno... not a fan.
He looks like "Todd Macfarlane presents Casey Jones" and then at the last minute it was decided he needed to dual wield scythes because that was "fucking extreme"

That's the point. Darksiders is not really a series I come to for sensible ensemble.
I fully expect Strife to do mad kickflips off of a BMX made out of screaming babies that is also on fire, at some point.
I've always been confused on this point since War kept referring to them as his "brothers". Maybe Fury had reassignment surgery and hasn't been able to afford a mastectomy yet.

Haggar is required to offset the effeminate features of Testament, with enough testosterone left over to make Bridget cut his hair and put on pants.

All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Gun that fires scythes and/or scythechucks.

That being said, while I still think War looks better, I've calm down on Death's design a bit. Still think his mask could look cooler though.

I don't think that's a mask. I think that's his face.

Darksiders 2 is gonna be awesome, even if I don't like the guy I have to play as :P
I'm guessing no Mark Hamil this time either?

Well I'm officially excited!
I've always been confused on this point since War kept referring to them as his "brothers". Maybe Fury had reassignment surgery and hasn't been able to afford a mastectomy yet.
I mean you could just use siblings, but that doesn't sound as cool.
Edit: No speakers at work...
Does Darksiders 2 happen at the same time as the first game?
People read OPs? :P
Trailer reminded me how much I liked the design style/concept of the angels too.
