Now here’s one hell of an epic CG intro sequence. It’s from Darksiders: Wrath of War and it sets the mood perfectly. I’m all amped up to dive in and start hacking up some demons right now. Oh, but wait, the game doesn’t come out until next year… Poo!

Along with the new screenshots highlighting WAR’s new duds, THQ also passed along chapter two of the Darksiders: Wrath of War behind the scenes documentary series. In this second part, the crew at Vigil Games shares insight on the game’s storyline and killer comic book/graphic novel stylized art design.

Darksiders’ WAR Gets a Spiffy Costume Change

Hey, look at this! THQ just sent me a new round of Darksiders: Wrath of War screenshots and immediately I noticed that WAR, the game’s main character, has had a major costume design change since the last time we saw him. Just look at the comparison shot I whipped up above, the before-and-after differences are rather substantial. So what do you think of the change? Me? I love the new character design. The old WAR just looked like a hunk of bland metal, but the new WAR at least has some color to catch the eye. Plus his face is more visible and he’s now got some ominous glowy eyes, that’s always a cool touch.

Catch more of WAR’s new look in the gallery after the break.

Darksiders: Wrath of War is still a ways off from its recently rescheduled ’09 release, but after watching this opening chapter in Vigil Games’ behind the scenes documentary, which focuses on how the game concept came about and the total badassery of the game’s main character War, the project appears to be on the right track. I’m not seeing anything mind-blowingly innovative, but the action looks like it’ll be fun and I’m digging the art design.
