Thanks blankspace for the new OP!
Yeah...since I'm actually interested in the game and enjoy the comic I'm making a better OP.
The Darkness: I Believe in a Thing Called Dark
The Darkness is a FPS based on the cult comic of the same name. It stars Jackie Estacado, a made man, who's family is blessed/cursed with the power of the darkness. Each generation has a keeper of the darkness, however when he impregnates a woman he is killed, passing it onto the next generation, who's powers manifest on their 21st birthday. Jackie's 1 day away from his 21st birthday.
Game Features
Being a first-person shooter you'll be able to fill all of your blam blam blam needs. However the game's true draw is the Darkness powers that Jackie wields. You won't be able to use these in any brightly lit enviroments, but in the dark things get a bit more intresting.
The first use of the powers is the summoning of Darklings. These little bastards come from the souls of your dead enemies, they provide many uses different uses. There's interrogation, meat shields, ceiling ninjas, even suicide attacks.
The second is the use of Dark Tentacles. First off, "lolihentairaperape" there, happy I got that out of the way aren't you? Anyways, the tentacles spring from Jackie's back and basically let you fuck shit up on a very high level, they can smash, crunch, throw and/or impale anything from random goons to cars. ALos, they are an effective bullet shield.
The third is the use of Maw Tentacles. They are the smaller, red-headed step-brother of the Dark Tentacles. They can be used for more sneaky melee attacks, you can also stretch them and use their eyes as your own and scout ahead.
The fourth and final(Final at this time, these are only the known abilities there may be more.) power is the use of Black Holes. You open these little doohickeys and anyone in the room gets sucked in and eternally trapped in Hell.
Other Information
It's coming out on the 360 and PS3, sorry no waggling tentacles for you!
There are multiple multiplayer (See what I did there?) modes, the most interesting being where you play as not Jackie and/or other random gangsters, but as the Darklings. There are also traditional FPS multiplayer modes as well.
It releases sometime this summer.

I thought that was weird.
"look out!! he doesn't have a gun!"
*blam blam blam blam!*
Anyway, the game looks alright. Nothing revolutionary, but it looks well-made.
Did anyone else think this thread would be about Kingdom Hearts?
Thank you very much,I'm rather incompetent in the art of OP making but I really wanted to discuss this game.
And I saw the begining of the game the other day (where they are in a car chase) and I was really impressed with it.
Also, I thought the multiplayer is class based in all matches (you can be goons or darklings).
Oh well, he can edit the Multiplayer stuff in.

I will be buying this game.
Awwww...
I have a feeling Butcher Joyce will be a favorite among people after playing the game, Im pretty interested in hearing the voice actor for him. That little bit is just random thinking though.
looks pretty cool, i wonder if there are any other rail shooter bits in the game.
It's not voice actor, just plain actor now. They use the same people for the mocaps and the voices because they wanted to add realism. So the body of every character in the game is the body of the actor who voices it.
Though that seems a little silly using the same people for mocapping for "realism"...
I never asked for this!
Not at all. The man who is giving the mocap is having his voice recorded at the same time. We see his body language and hear his voice, the only difference is we get computer textures instead of seeing his face. For all intents and purposes he is acting.
Problem there is that generally voice actors probably won't really know how to physically act. So you get the borderline retarded hand movements pretty much every character has...
Except they hired actual actors for the game. People from OZ, Six Feet, and other successful series. The Darkness itself is bodiless, so for it they hired someone who's known for his voice, a vocalist from a metal band.
that's awesome, which band?
edit: I hit up wikipedia, it's the bloke from Faith No More. Awesome!
epic, no? :P
Did you hear the guy's voice on the Darkness segment of the official site? Creepy as hell.
Don't know how many of y'all have seen this yet but this video interview at IGN has some good looking footage in it. The darkness powers look really good!
