Pope Adam · Sep 2009

Well in 5 days our brothers at 8MonkeyLabs (go iowa!!!!) will be releasing their game. So anxious to get into the marmoset engine and see it in its full glory.

anyone else planning on picking this up too?

Bal · Sep 2009

Yeah, seems it'll be on Steam, so I'll be spending a few magical internet monies to pick up surely.

Entity · Sep 2009

metalliandy · Sep 2009

Yea i will be getting this beauty from Steam too

3 Days and 19hrs to go!

MikeF · Sep 2009

EarthQuake · Sep 2009

I HAVE PROOF IT EXISTS

Spark · Sep 2009

You are one greedy individual Earthquake:P haha, look at all those games:) Congrats to all the guys that have worked on this game, and will be picking one up as soon as possible.

I tried but they said some guy named Joe was hording all the copies.

But seriously congrats.

brandoom · Sep 2009

This is the first release for 8ml?

The trailer looked awesome. Those pictures of all the games is really cool to see too, kind of puts things into perspective.

glib · Sep 2009

Buy that asshole's game!

poopinmymouth · Sep 2009

Why do you have all the copies? Aren't they normally delivered from warehouses to retail stores? I don't think I've ever seen that many copies at any of the developers I've worked for. Not calling shenanigans, I'm just curious why you have that many at your (seemingly) office.

Iowa is like a 3rd world country, so they deliver by hand to all the farmers.

dfacto · Sep 2009

As far as I know 8ml is a Phantom EFX offshoot, and they're both in the same town. So that shot could well be from the publisher's office.

Entity · Sep 2009

Hope you guys get good reviews and great sales

Lamont · Sep 2009

I played the demo without knowing what the game was about. I was like "SWEET A WESTERN SHOOTER!!" then I was like "WTF? A TIME WARP!!". Gonna get back into the demo in a couple hours.

Muzzoid · Sep 2009

dayum thats alot of games :O.

Snipergen · Sep 2009

Oh wauw, awesome guys. I'm not sure if I want to pick it up on steam or at a retail store. I like a physical copy but I also would like my steam games list to grow

MoP · Sep 2009

Due to a shipping error, we are now overstocked on wacky waving inflatable arm flailing Darkest of Days!

I should pick this up on Steam. I love Steam. It loves my money.

Joshua Stubbles · Sep 2009

Demo was fun, but it seems like the graphics were duped for it maybe?
I remember seeing all of the assets individually, but in-game they looked suuuuuper low res and grainy (even at "very high" settings). Was this some error perhaps?

Looking forward to the retail release!

Can I have one?

You got like 5000+ there, that's a quarter of a million dollars in games, imagine that in stacks of $1's in that room

BradMyers82 · Sep 2009

Wow, the mother load. That's freaking sweet!

AnimeAngel · Sep 2009

thats awesome.. grats man

BlackulaDZ · Sep 2009

2 more days, can't wait!

Tumerboy · Sep 2009

Hey nice booth @ Pax. Didn't get to spend much time there, pretty much just peed and ran, but it looked cool.

Wahlgren · Sep 2009

and now you know who it was that pissed in your booth.:thumbup:

metalliandy · Sep 2009

Just grabbed my copy from Steam and currently is 10% off until the 15th!

Installing now

Junkie_XL · Sep 2009

This does look pretty cool. I convinced my non-gaming friend to give it a try. He is a huge gun-history nut and he loves the idea of mixing weaponry with different time periods. He's not so nuts on the futuristic weapons, but he wants to take the more modern stuff back in time with him.

I bet Phantom EFX is really happy with you 8monkey guys. You made them a real game to publish and put them on the map instead of just another stupid casino title.

jbrophy · Sep 2009

Looking cool guys. Does it come with the full editor as well?

CheeseOnToast · Sep 2009

What gives? It's disappeared off Steam for me (UK version). Just the demo and teaser trailers available. It WAS available, as it gave me a full-page popup ad the other day.

metalliandy · Sep 2009

Wow...its gone :S

Looks like i got lucky on that one!

Pope Adam · Sep 2009

My brother does video game reviews and I recommended he do a review of this game. He put his vid up yesterday on youtube and apparently it's the only one on the web right now and has had 5,000 hits so far, and is one of today's top viewed youtube vids.

Darkest of Days is gettin a little bit of free publicity

GO IOWA! Here's the vid if anyone wants to have a gander. - although my brother may have already posted this vid in another thread.

PixelMasher · Sep 2009

Ouch, Ign just brutalized it in their review. Im still pretty interested in it and liked the demo, so I'll probably give it a rent. congrats to all who worked on it from the 8 monkey crew!

ZeitgeistReview · Sep 2009

Yup, I greatly disagree with IGN on this one.

(As my review above is mostly very positive)

metalliandy · Sep 2009

Yea this game is great and im loving it!...IGN know not of what they speak.

ZeitgeistReview · Sep 2009

So apparently I'm the only person who made a video review for this game so far. It ranked as the 35th most watched gaming video on YouTube today and got 6000 hits.

EarthQuake · Sep 2009

Xbox version seems to be getting it pretty hard, i would personally recommend getting the pc version if you guys are interested in the game.

metalliandy · Sep 2009

Yea for sure.
I dont see what all the fuss is about with Xbox tbh.
They complained about the game being a "pitfall of terrible technical performance" but it looks real nice on PC and plays smoothly too.
I think the main problem with the xbox is hardware limitation...there is just to much stuff going on in the game :S

ZeitgeistReview · Sep 2009

That's exactly what I said in my review.

metalliandy · Sep 2009

Yea :P
I just watched it...very nice

Did you play the PC version yet?

ZeitgeistReview · Sep 2009

Nope... But I went ahead and emailed their publisher asking for a copy of the PC version so I could do a follow-up haha. That was probably pretty greedy of me.

EarthQuake · Sep 2009

What, you think they just have extra copies laying around or something?

Pope Adam · Sep 2009

rofl yes

Wahlgren · Sep 2009

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/darkestofdays oof. this be the xbox one

crazyfingers · Sep 2009

I think the game's a great start, especially for 8 dudes making their own engine, really frickin' impressive. The more FPS's without space marines or world war 2 the better!

I agree, that's why I got Call of Juarez.
