Darksiders 2 Hands On Preview

Looks very interesting, although I kind of expected Death to have an even more skull-like head (especially with visible teeth) and wear a robe. I like Biblical (or religious imagery in general) in games. Anyway, I never got around to play the first game myself, though I may very well remedy this before getting into this game. Should be pretty cheap by now.
I am looking forward to this, cause I liked the first Darksiders, but when is this game set?
After or parallel to Darksiders 1?
Cause at the end of 1 you get told why you, unintentionally, got summoned and how you, got blamed for it. And the other Horsemen are coming too help War in the end.
Did all this escape Death, harr harr, and the guys who sent you out in the start, or has it been explained and I've just missed it?

Actually I kind of like how Death looks and the visual style of the game. The first Darksiders kind of threw me off, with a mopey War who was decked out in ridiculous levels of armor, trying too hard to be Kratos. Darksiders II looks more World of Warcraft, with Death as a kind of Forsaken rogue, and having been one of those I'm cool with this style.
Gonna be a damn good day. I loved Darksiders 1 thought i wish it were longer and elaborated on War ab it more. But the story was rich the characters both awsome and hilarious at points (Vulgrim!!) And i cannot wait for this one.
Actually, I don't really see Kratos as much as i see Kain. And Death somewhat as Raziel. The first is slow and and a heavy hitter, associated with red and the second one is fast and agile and associated with bluish/purple. Even the body types fit.SnakeoilSage said:

Why doesn't Death have a mouth? What else will the be ripping off this time, apart from possibly the dungeon crawler Torchlight/Diablo affair with random classy loot in chests? Will there be a small playfully dumb sphere to accompany our blue and orange portal gun this time, or will there instead be special three word shouts that Death gets to use to demolish his (its?) enemies?
I am actually excited for this, having thought quite positively of the first one, even with, or maybe despite, or possibly even because of, its rampant kleptomania. Though, looking back on it, I can't really remember much about it, except for my opinion of it being solidly "B+". I remember a few puzzles, a bit of the ending, then...nothing. Huh. I remember liking it despite it taking the piss, and finding it appealing while mocking it's ludicrousness. Hopefully the second shares that quality, but with less "I forget why I actually like it".

Well Kain was never a heavy armor-wearer, and unlike Kratos or War, Kain actually enjoyed himself from time to time, letting out a sadistic laugh or dropping a groaner one-liner. I get the contrast: Kain is tall and red, Raziel blue and spindly. But as personalities go I just didn't relate to War much. Yahtzee said it best, really, that whole "I am a monster truck that walks like a man!" bit.aemroth said:Actually, I don't really see Kratos as much as i see Kain. And Death somewhat as Raziel.

Well, if it was completely alike, i'd have to say it was a rip-off, wouldn't i?SnakeoilSage said:Well Kain was never a heavy armor-wearer, and unlike Kratos or War, Kain actually enjoyed himself from time to time, letting out a sadistic laugh or dropping a groaner one-liner.
