From England to Texas, Commodore 64 to PS3, Haydn Dalton has had a full experience within the gaming industry. As lead designer on Darksiders II, his past experiences are invaluable for informing his everyday choices that funnel into the creation of Darksiders II. Game Informer's own Phil Kollar spoke with Haydn in the lobby of Vigil Games in a wide-ranging interview that covers everything from Ocarina of Time to 50 Cent. Check out the video below to learn more about one of the main creative forces behind Darksiders II.

    I wonder if Phil got a camera man, or if he brought a 2nd camera and placed them so he could still look at them while Haydn was responding.

    Is it just me, or does Haydn Dalton have braces? And it seems like he has the charisma of Timothy Dalton.

    He sounds like a pretty cool guy. Nice to hear him talk about Darksiders being different from God of War and Zelda. Seeing a lot of comments about that lately with Darksiders II on the horizon.

    Cool, more fleshed out characters and story...just what I wanted. Plus I like the idea of sometime seeing a Darksiders with all 4 horsemen. I also would love the idea of getting each one of the horsemen their own game. I hope this gels well for them.

    Now here is a game worth waiting for. Since DMC looks like crap and Darksiders was so epic it looks like I'll have to wait for a action game truly worth the time to play. Think ill be preordering this as soon as possible. truly one of my most anticipated titles along with Battlefield 3, Dust 514, Skyrim and Overstrike.

    I gotta say, this is one of the most interesting videos I've seen; I hope you guys can keep these up! Between developer interviews, Replays, Phil and Reiner, and the occasional video just discussing games, I'm finding myself coming back to this site every couple of hours :D

    Also... Phil Kollar looks like he's quite a lot more fit since last time! Internet high-five to you, sir!

    This interview was pretty interesting. I liked how Haydn offered insight on why darksiders 2 wasn't going to be the 4 player co-op sequel we all wanted because it would be to sooon. Sure im a little dissapointed, but taking the baby steps is what will make the very last game a very great game to enjoy.
