So Nolan North is apparently voicing Jackie in the sequel – that’s about all you can take from this short trailer. Going by the voiceover, it seems Jackie has kept The Darkness away since the first game and The Darkness isn’t too happy about it. Hopefully this means that the game will cover Jackie battling to control The Darkness and the obvious problems that it's going to cause, but we'll have to wait and see for any story details.
The original
Darkness game is one of my all-time favorite shooters and I’m really rooting
for this sequel. It’s been over 4 years since that game was released and the
shooter market has changed drastically since then. The Darkness 2 is set
for release this fall and will be going up against some serious competition, especially
in the first-person shooter genre. Gameplay-wise the first game did have some
issues with its core shooting, but I’m really hoping for some new Darkness
powers in the sequel. Seeing as E3 is just around the corner, it’s likely The
Darkness 2 will make a more gameplay orientated experience there.
