IncGamers: Now a "significant delta" between PCs and consoles, says Darksiders 2 game director.
Neil writes: "After holding tight and saving every spare penny since the Xmas sales, chances are you've worked up enough of a sweat to ensure that it's time to look in to the purchase of a new Xbox game or two. And with the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 28th Jan - 3rd Feb 2020, you'll be able to get access to all manner of cut-price Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles, boosting your digital library in the process."
"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
The release date has been revealed for The Art of Darksiders II Hardcover Edition.
I agree. Being satisfied with the games we have now should not stand in the way of progress. Technology keeps going forward and consoles shouldn't lag too much behind just because some of us are happy with what we have today.
Current generation consoles have been out long enough and now that Wii U is releasing this year, it would be bad for business for Sony and MS to wait too long. Especially now when the Wii U is getting some more multiplatform releases (Darksiders 2, AC3 and more that I can't remember right now). The situation was very different this gen because only a small amount of multiplatform games we're released on Wii, and when it got some of them they were mostly inferior to their Xbox 360 and PS3 counterparts.
And have costs double? And have gaming crash again? I hope they reap what they sow
First it's time to stop using the same old tired formulas. I like Darksiders and am looking forward to the second iteration but before developers start screaming for new hardware they need to try to pry themselves out of 2005 and start inventing surprising mechanics and gameplay methods as well as community interaction. With Dust 514/Eve online CCP has shown us something completely new and packed full of innovation.
The last thing I want is good looking tired old same same gameplay. Sorry Vigil, but until you show us you can push your current ride in new directions, directions that aren't necessarily about horsepower, the Ferrari is staying locked up in the garage.
WiiU coming this year
Whether people want it or not, the next-gen will truly begin Winter 2013. Save up your money. I, for one, am ready to see what lessons Sony has learned this gen and what will happen when their console comes out at the same time as the new one from Microsoft.
