***Yerli said he wasn’t worried about discovering the developers’ technical or creative abilities because he believes that the Darksiders games speak for themselves.***
Sony should pick up Darksiders IP. I know many would rather Platinum Games to, and I 2nd that, but my first choice would be Sony. I'd like to see what they could do with such a promising franchise.
Isn't darksiders an RPG sword fighting game? We live in the age of shooters. Why the hell would a company like Sony or Crytek want to own a RPG IP, let alone create one.
Console Gamers usually play shooters, thats the truth. These games usually do not sell well on consoles. Only 2 or 3 three have succeeded reasonably but RPG are games that can never compete against shooters on console.
Im sorry but i'm a console gamer and i don't see any value in RPG sword fighting crap on consoles. If i was an RPG whore i would abandon consoles and stick with PC.
Don't like the idea of Console being shooters paradise then go play on PC. Consoles is the place were the business is. Like it or not, shooters are the backbone of Console gaming.

And therefore that's all they should ever play?
*So, no more Elder Scrolls (aka Skyrim), no more Fable, no more Fallout, no more Mass Effect, no more Dragon Age, no more Witcher, no more Final Fantasy, no more Ni No Kuni, no more Tales, and let's just go ahead and cancel Cyberpunk 2077. Yup. All those games have sold horribly. Haven't even made any profit.
@cgoodno last time i checked, Mass Effect was 90% shooter with RPG element only for storyline options. This is tolerable. Fable is dead and final fantasy is also a dead franchise. There's one or more every year and no one cares.
I played fallout and tried skyrim, god such a nasty game. On fallout, u shoot the guy a 100times still dont die. When i fire a gun, i expect them to die quickly just as in COD or BF and just like in real life. Skyrim was one sucessful game but god, how can anyone enjoy a sword fighting game. They are usually fat geeeks who do.
About the other games u mentioned...never heard of them before.
Shooters a manly games, its masculine for men to enjoy. RPG's lack masculinity.
Let me give you a list of shooters that have "DOMINATED" in sales this gen and most played and consistently Achieving "Game of the Year" every year this gen.
1) Call Of Duty 8 games(in excess of over 6 billion dollar plus this gen alone)
2) Battlefield series
3) GTA 4
4) Uncharted series
5) Halo series
6) Gears of War series
7) Bioshock
8) Metal Gear Solid 4
9) Killzone series
10) Left 4 Dead series
PLUS MANY MORE that have dominated headline, record breaking sales and making console a hub for shooters....Don't like it? go play WoW on the PC and be Quiet...U MAD?
----------------------------- --------------- No RPG's can dominate on consoles. Below are a list of best selling games on console this gen. U will see it is dominated by shooters.
First of all, if we talk domination, we'd all still be playing platformers and third-person action games.
Second of all, most of those listed haven't dominated the sales charts in comparison to Skyrim, FFXIII, Mass Effect (it is an RPG), Dragon Age (the first one), Fallout, or The Witcher.
I'm not saying shooters aren't popular, but you don't suddenly cancel all the rest because people play more of one type. Because, as I said, we'd currently live in a world of platformer, third-action adventure games. Why? Super Mario games have netted the most profit this generation, beyond CoD.
"Crytek USA is employing about 30 to 40 people out of the gate, so not everyone from Vigil is making the transition to this new studio. At least not right away.
Also, Crytek has no interest in pursuing the Darksiders property rights, so the studio is starting from scratch."
Well this sucks, guess no Darksiders 3, or if there is one, the franchise would have to be bought by someone else, and not made by Vigil. But I wish the best for the ex-Vigil employees on their futures.
They may not be making the Darksiders series anymore, but I wonder if they will still make the Crawler project they had in the works before everything fell apart at THQ. I'm interested to see what that game was.
Wow I have much more respect for Crytek now. Glad to see Cevat is still a gamer and not a business man (purely). Looking forward to see what Crytk USA does. If it is a phone ga me though, I will freaking laugh.
I wonder what they will make. Cevat told them Crytek's vision, so that means they have to stick to a specific plan, although all ideas stick with the Vigil employees. It would be nice to see the CryEngine used for more genres, although Cevat said they would be spending a lot'of time messing with the CryEngine, so hopefully that means they will tweak it for whatever genre and scope of game the old Vigil team decides to create.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
