While we have little idea how the gameplay or the story in The Darkness will exactly pan out (except that it will be 1st person), we have a pretty good idea of what it will look like. 2K Games has been slowly leaking information over the last year regarding The Darkness and who can blame them? It's getting us at GamesFirst quite taken with the idea of controlling this shadow-spawn controlling anti-hero.
Here below are three new screens from the Darkness. Things to note: the texture detail on the darklings (his shadow pets). And the wall textures and blood splatters remind one of F.E.A.R.
In one of the pictures we see our hero weilding dual pistols (Desert Eagles anyone?) while flanked by his darklings. How exactly you will control the darklings, if at all, is up in the air.
In another picture we have the character Mikey (guy with the earring) lying on the ground. This scene, which is likely in-game cinematics, shows a lot of detail on each character as well as some striking lighting effects all around.
For full coverage of The Darkness straight from Comic-Con in San Diego, our own Monica Hafer has the word right here.
