Well as long as they make use of the time. It'd take that long to do a Zelda game so it's not that surprising. Probably saw Castlevania:loS and though "Ahhhhh THAT's how we should do it!" Wink

Anything with Joe Mad involved will take years - he doesn't rush his stuff - it took Battle Chasers about 3 years to get to issue 9! Hell even the issues of Uncanny X-men he did the art for where always late!

I'd much sooner wait for some more quality than just have the sequel rushed out for the sake of it.

Darksiders is a different beast to LoS - and they most certainly shouldn't copy that game for the sequel - LoS was closer in style to Dante's Inferno & GoW while it was the Zeldaesque elements that gave Darksiders something just a little bit different from the others. It was them elements that made me prefer this game to LoS (and that's not taking anything away from LoS as it was a stunning game!) - Darksiders was probably one of my favourite releases this year & I've played it through on PS3 and 360 and can't wait to play it again when the next gaming lull appears!

Actually I suppose thats true, the progression and exploration in LoS was very linear. Darksiders felt much more like a Zelda/Metroid game.

I still haven't finished Darksiders, as far as the second or third Azrael seal I think. But I agree, probably one of my favourite releases of the year too.

What I really need is a massively epic, traditional RPG, to get into. Something like Dragon Age but MUCH much bigger.

The one thing I really liked about LoS was the atmosphere - and it was one time that a game taking itself so seriously really paid off. I think if there had been even the slightest of moments that it had not done so it would've destroyed the setting and characters - it handled it excellently. Without a Shadow of a doubt, (no pun intended), LoS had one of my favourite endings on a game ever!

as with Darksiders I welcome a LoS 2!
