Digital Extremes: We're 'Interested' In Developing The Darkness III

GamingUnion.net writes: "One of the most anticipated titles of early 2012, The Darkness II, hit store shelves this week, but could another iteration in the series be on the horizon sooner rather than later? Yes, if Digital Extremes' president, Michael Schmalz, has anything to say about it. During an interview with Gaming Union on the eve of The Darkness II's launch, Schmalz expressed that his team is "interested" in working on The Darkness III."

DO IT!!!!!

Definitely, I loved the first and second. Loving the new darkness powers and the story. I don't want it to stop here, that would be a huge disappointment. You've peaked my interest and got me hooked so don't stop.

[Berserk]

Couldn't agree more :) I am getting close to the end, and so far its been an fk awesome game.

[fozzness]

ooo! this makes me really hope that the Darkness II is a success!! :D

[JDouglasGU]

seems like it's been a getting a lot of attention so fingers crossed!

[mephman]

It feels like there's a lot more they could do with this.

6 hour game? not my cup of tea

[h311rais3r]

Guess u dont like modern games that aren't RPGs. Mw3 5 hours. Bf3 5 hours. Crysis 2 7 hours. Uncharted 3 6 hours.

[Knight_Cid]

No I dont like games that arent worth the money.

You mean modern games like zelda? or mario? or imfamous? or gta........you know games that are worth the single player experience.

are they rpgs?

Funny it took alot longer than 5 hrs for bf3 and 6 hrs for uncharted 3, but if a speed run is how you measure a game length. I would hate to hear how rate a games enjoyment.

2 is a deefinate step up from the first but i would have hoped for Dark Sector 2, that IP was brimming with atmosphere and the gameplay was awesome!!! Its ashame the game never got much of a chance! They put alot of effort into it and alot of the gameplay mechanics was well thoughout! I also liked the story! Forget Darkness 3 and bring out Dark Sector 2

[JDouglasGU]

I actually thought Dark Sector was a decent game too... but it seems to get shit on more often than not and it doesn't seem like Digital Extremes wants to revisits that universe :(

[HellzAssassin]

As much as I loved Dark Sector, I disagree with your statement. The Darkness has been and is still one of my favourite games this generation and the sequel is just down right awesome!...

On that note, I'd love a Dark Sector 2... But I need The Darkness 3 as well.

It appears based upon reviews that they should hand it back to Starbreeze

[Sevir]

They Picked DE for this because of the work they did on Bioshock and Bioshock 2!

[ThichQuangDuck]

Darkness 1 was 2k games and Starbreeze. bioshock 1 they worked on porting it to ps3. Bioshock 2 they did multiplayer only. I do not know I was going based on reviews and based on reviews darkness 1 did better than darkness 2 overall whehter people played it or not is another thing. The demo was ok, but I am hearing it is shorter and not quite as rewarding as darkness 1
