    Can't believe no one's started a thread about this yet. This has gone from a game which I had never heard of and only reminded me, in name, of Darkstalkers, to a game that I am literally giddy about. Enjoy the vid, pics (look at them, they're amazing), and hands-on comments. For PS3 and 360 on January 1st:

    Thank god you edited it and said that, before I got to the "edit" part I was about to smack you :110:

    It's one of those games that looks generic, and for some reason after you watch it, you get about as giddy as you did once you heard Street Fighter 4 was coming out. :clap:

    Well, it's already off Biblicaly, as none of the horsemen actually rebel, but maybe they can do something that is non-canonical yet enjoyable, like Odin Sphere. Vanillaware did a pretty good job with Odin Sphere in that it has elements of Norse mythology and is still enjoyable in spite of it not really following it's supposed roots.

    I think he means the biblical sense is cool as to all the characters. But seeming as this is all supposed to happen in the near future, we don't know if they rebel or not ;).

    Oh yeah, I forgot about this. The warrior guy on the horse really reminds me of Arhcaeon or whatever his name is from Warhammer.

    Looks cool, I'll probably get it for my 360.

    Yea, I'm getting this for sure on the PS3. It's nice to show a dev like THQ that, hey.. if you make good games, we'll buy them! I heard about a year or so ago they were running into financial difficulties because "movie license games aren't as profitable as they used to be".

    Nice to see another company (like High Voltage) come into the world of good software :clap:

    I don't think THQ develops games, but I could be wrong.

    EDIT:

    Yep, looks like I was wrong. lol

    I'm not sure which of their games are made or published by them though.

    Upon further viewing, Darksiders looks awesome, I think my favorite genre are action RPG style games like these.
