Darksiders: the Jailer

G.G.

Hi Folks,

Here's a little preview of the Jailer, one of the characters we're working on here at Vigil Games for Darksiders: Wrath of War. The first is a ZBrush render and the next is a screen grab from the game engine (still pre-alpha BTW). He weighs in at 15k tri's, including the two cages, and uses 2 x 1024s. We'll try to get some more stuff posted when we get the OK.

best,

Gray

Don't jinx them! I wanna see more.

I've been in love with this game for so long now, the art style is just amazing.

Please when you can, post more!

MOAARR!

this is awesome, I hope you guys have some complex rigging for some nice disturbing jiggle motion on that corpsefleshballthing when he walks around

I love it. Incredible amount of detail, really love those arms hanging out on the right :P

Neo_God

Looks fantastic, thumbs up!

Target_Renegade

Really good! Saw the first trailer a few weeks ago, the game seems to have character and gameplay. Liked the horse/steed tricks.

Vitor

Looks incredible. Really nice work.

The little green one is too lit I think and almost kill the impression that he is in inside at first sight.

bluekangaroo

Damn!! Great job on the character

G.G.

Just saw the Cinematic Trailer a few mins ago - Looks amazing! I was very impressed by every aspect of the trailer, but I have 1 question that will probably be answered in the game.... If the creatures came to earth as meteors, how come they already have human skulls all over them? Just wondering :P

Josh_Singh

Yeah saw this on Zbrush central. There is a lot to learn from in the sculpt! really fun to look at.

Kawe

I hope there are different versions of it so all those cages get used maybe it does different moves depending on the cage with one of those thingies in.. oooh..

Kovac

Hot damn this is some great stuff! Can't wait to see more.

flaagan

I just spent about ten minutes sitting here, scrolling back and forth between the zbrush and the in-game, with my mouth agape in awe.... holy crap that's an incredible piece of work.

stoofoo

I say godddamnnnnnn, son!

nazeil

hobodactyl

Holy crap this is awesome Really looking forward to seeing more from you! I really hope more studios start showing stuff like this, it's very inspiring

sub_roland

grasshoppa

That's incredible, nice work!! Teach me!!!!

onionhead_o

this game seems very promising from the looks of this screenshot.

FAT_CAP

Saw this on ZBRUSH Central and it's pimpin'! I would say that the shot from the other side, with all the mutated figures crushed into his shoulder/ arm is even more impressive though! Post it here aswell and let us drool.

Neox

the sculpt is bloody awesome, but that texture? is that only a lightbake with colors+normalmap? it kinda destroys the great model for me

DInusty

awesome. simply awesome! nice work keep it up.

G.G.

thanks for the comments everyone!

Arshlevon: what's up!! say hi to Steve, Darren, & all the folks for me! Are all you guys heading to North Carolina?

Neox: I know what you mean, the game screen was from several months ago and the lighting in that room is still very pre-alpha. I'll be looking forward to that improving too, myself ;-)

thanks everybody!

Gray

Crumplecakes

awesome work, looking forward to the game, the art style is pretty kick ass.

the jailer reminds me of the pinky demon from Doom3 (just his face though)
