If anyone recognises the song, you're officially a PALGN legend in my eyes.
Also, not a fan of the new look...

I agree with shadow wave. I'll bet you any money that if this is rated and we don't have R18+ we will be guaranteed to have it RC (banned).

The first one was overrated but I have a soft spot for it and it still has one of the most shocking moments ive seen in a game, this is actually looking great (but even more violent lol not sure how I feel about *that*), but they need to tighten up the gameplay a bit this time.

Wow, I was really hoping that this would get shown during E3! It looks like they took the first game and turned the violence up a notch, but it's pretty awesome. So far, I definitely want it.  Get us an R18+ rating, stat!

Ok so the game is called The Darkness, yet you change the art style to colourful cell shaded, mmm good job there. I wish Starbreeze was making this, I bet it wouldn't look like this...

Uhm it doesn't look much brighter than the last game at all, and whats wrong with a bit of colour anyway? It makes moments more memorable if you can actually see things. It still looks pretty gloomy and shadowy to me.

It's not cel-shaded, it just has a non-realistic art style. Don't make me get Benza in here.

It's not completely cell shaded, but its somewhere in between....not sure I like it. In fact I don't, and now I'm worried for this :/.
The first one is easily one of my favourite games of all time, mostly for its story. If they can pull off the story and writing then I'd forgive it.

There's a shader there that's giving a bit of an outline similar to cel-shading, but it's definitely not cel-shaded especially if you pay attention to the lighting and a good portion of the specularity.
I'm really not seeing a problem with its look. I loved the first Darkness but also thought it was just a 'tad' too dark in its visuals, so it's nice to see more vibrant use of colour here.
More colour = better as long as it's used tastefully.

You guys understand the source material, right?
EDIT: And a recent interior. It's hard finding a page with no swearing on it (violence in trailers, yay, but swearing, GTFO).

Oh boy, here we go.
I'm a bit skeptical about the Darkness II. I didn't know that it wasn't being developed by Starbreeze so that's a bit worrying because I thought they did a brilliant job with the first game.
