Even though Resident Evil 4 Remake's announcement might have been spoiled by leaks, the first trailer got us plenty excited, and seeing uncut gameplay footage of it in action has us extremely excited. Is it noticeably scarier? Will it be darker than the original? Does it still have funny moments? Did they make any changes? Did the chainsaw guy get new abilities? The answer is yes, but there's so much more to talk about. The game ends with the other 3 Horsemen returning to Earth in time to fight in the real Endwar.After playing through the original Resident Evil 4 dozens of times on everything from GameCube to Meta Quest 2 VR, Brian Altano got to go hands-on with the first 45 minutes of Capcom's highly anticipated next-gen remake of this modern classic of survival-horror action. Uriel takes the opportunity to also destroy the 7th seal that the Watcher claimed from Abaddon which rejuvenates War as his ties with the Council are severed and his powers are restored. After killing The Destroyer, War's vision is fulfilled when his Watcher betrays him and he is stabbed with the Armageddon Blade as a means to end the death oath with Uriel. War convinces her that The Destroyer is Abaddon and they go together to face him. Before facing the destroyer, Uriel, an angel who served with Abaddon and wants revenge, challenges War to a death oath that can only be broken when one of them dies. War collects the fragments of the Armageddon Blade and gets Ulthane to reforge it for his final showdown with The Destroyer. War also finds out that his Watcher will betray him with a sword called the Armageddon Blade which coincidentally can also be used to kill The Destroyer. War then defeats Straga and Azrael takes War to the Tree of Knowledge which tells him that the Council set him up and that The Destroyer is Abaddon who has possession of the 7th seal. Inside the Black Tower, War finds the angel Azrael who tells War that he, Abaddon, and the maker Ulthane conspired to bring the Endwar early by destroying 6 of the seals, but not the 7th which would summon the Horsemen. With the help of Samael, War gains access to the Black Tower which is the lair of The Destroyer. War learns that The Destroyer is responsible for leading the armies of Hell to destroy all of humanity and decides to seek him out. Determined to set his brother free, Death jumps into the Well of Souls with the intent of restoring humanity to Earth.īack in the first game, War is sent back to Earth by the Charred Council, only now it's a century after he had last been to Earth. After purging more corruption and obtaining the fragments, Death assembles the key and enters the Tree of Life to confront Absalom and destroy him. Once the battle is won, Death discovers that the only way to resurrect humanity is to give up the souls of the Nephilim, his people. To get to the Well of Souls, Death has to obtain two parts to a key located in Heaven and Hell. Midway through Darksiders 2, the Tree sends Death to the Land of the Dead where he meets the Lord of Bones who tells Death about the Well of Souls within the Tree of Life and how it can resurrect humanity. Death then helps the Makers uncorrupt the Forge Lands to enter the Tree of Life and learns that the source of the corruption is the Nephilim Absalom, who was killed by Death during the Nephilim war. In his death throes, the Crowfather embeds the fragments of the amulet containing the souls of the Nephilim into Death and sends him to the Forge Lands where the Tree of Life resides. The Crowfather tells Death to go to the Tree of Life to resurrect humanity, but Death kills the Crowfather when he refuses to send him there with a portal. He begins his search by venturing to the Crowfather's sanctum in the Icy Veil. Basically at the same time as the events of Darksiders 3, Death is searching for a way to undo the destruction of humanity to clear War's name in Darksiders 2.
