What is this game, When will I get it?

[wrecker77]

so ime on gametrailers and i see a trailer for modern warfare 2. Obviously, I click it. but i accidently click the trailer for the game under it. Its called "Darkest of Days". I had never of heard of it before now. At first ime like, oh. It puts you infamous battles like the civil war, the fall of rome, and WW2.... that might be cool. The trailer talks about weapons of differnet time periods. All of a sudden he shows ths assult rifle. ime like "oh it goes to the future." Here is where it gets awesome. BOOM. it shows the charecter unloading this advanced machine gun on a couple of confederecy soldiers on horseback! my first reaction was... their certanly not going for realism. THEN, it shows rocket launchers on some..... spartans? All this shit is flying evereywhere and ime like YES!

here is the trailer

but their is also something that chould be a cool gameplay mechanic. their is another trailer where it talks about a new feature. Important people. the game sets you as a time traveler. for some reason, you are fighting in historical battles. The narroter tellss us that some deaths canoot be allowed. Certain targets will be highlited. these are either going to do something world changing later in their life, or are part of a bloodline of someone important. You can use a futuristic stun device to get rid of these targets temporarely or just shoot them in the leg, whounding them. if these targets are killed, Time stops. a portal opens on their body and the time police (medal for whouever gets the reference) come out and start to shoot at the player with all kinds of firepower. so basicly, dont shoot shiny people.

here is the other trailer

It's certainly an interesting concept- but then again trailers always make even the worst games look good so I'll hold my opinion till a later time.

Wtf just happened.
That looks awesome... romans + crazy sci-fi guns? Yes please.

 

[ZeroMachine]

I hadn't heard about it before.

I now know of this game.

I am now very, very happy

Gonna keep my eye on this one...

 

[Slash Dementia]

Ah, that game's concept is really nice. I like the idea of shooting Romans with guns. I won't hold my breath though.

 

[delet]

This looks awesome... If you'd click on the name, you can see, easily, that it's coming out 9/8/09 for the PC and Xbox.

This is, at the very least, an automatic rent for me...

 

[Merteg]

This game looks INSANELY good, and for some reason I haven't heard of it.

As others have said, it's just a trailer, but it looks really good.

am i just oblivious to this game?

The thought alone of a semi-decent WWI shooter is enough to get me excited.

The thought of WWI soldiers fighting Roman legions and American Civil War units with laser rifles is enough to make me ruin my pants, back AND front.

Thanks for the post, Wrecker

 

[MortisLegio]

AWESOME

thats all I have to say

 

[Conveant0]

I don't understand... why no advanced showing of this? Why no E3 following, with this on a multi-tiered stage, a figure from each of the time periods you visit dressed up with weaponry, all at arms ready to cut down those who approach and are not worthy, where the game creators sit on the very top on solid gold thrones overlooking those peasents watching a man demo the game for them...because they lack the level of awesome to do themsevles.

As a note, yes, I'm now watching for this game.

which is weird because if you look under the collums for 360 and pc, their not in either.

 

[RomanLegacy]

I loled, when they were using modern weapons against that cavalry charge.

This looks absolutely awesome, and the wikipedia article says the campaign will have 20-25 hours of gameplay. If thats true, it instantly gets a leg up over the 6-8 hour campaigns most shooters these days...

But of course, the lack of coverage over it means we don't really actually know if it will be good. It could still suck hardcore. But the novelty of fighting romans with future weaponry is a selling point enough, for me to buy this game.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Trailer = Awesome!

However, I refuse to be bought into hype ever again. Not after the abysmal travesty that was Two Worlds. That destroyed my faith in trailers, as well as furthering my distrust of humanity.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

I watched the trailers a few days ago out of curiosity. I have to say, for what sounds like a stupid concept, they've made it look fairly interesting.

 

[walkingdead127]

This could end up being the best game I never heard of.

rule #1 - stupid concepts make some great video games
this has potential to be pretty good, at the very least. they'll have to screw up really hard for this to not be playable

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

What a sneaky game; Managed to slip by us just like that. Looks good, and fun. It seems so ridiculously unfair to fight the Roman legion with assault rifles. I´m fairly interested.

Thanks for the info, Wrecker.

 

[Starke]

Wow, Wrecker, wow. I'm going to be keeping my eye on this one.

the time travel concept actually does sound to stupid to me. but you are right stupid concept doesn't always equal stupid game. Look at halo, aliens have big rings in space the destroy stuff and your a guy with green armor who has no face? ...stupid....actual game? ....pretty damn good.

honestly though this game looks like a blast and i can not wait to play it!

 

[Starke]

I'm just in shock that I've never even heard of it before. The original trailer came out back in 2008.
