Darksiders II Lead Developer Haydn Dalton has admitted the pressure is on for Vigil Games.
In an interview with Strategy Informer, Dalton suggested the studio's future could depend on Darksiders II sales.
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 will show you my support on the WiiU.
I just finished the first game on my PS3 and it's amazing! Can't wait for the second game and I hope we will see Darksiders 3 and 4.
I have bought the first game (got it cheap). I guess I should play it and see if I want to support the studio by getting the second one at full price.
I have the PS3 collector's edition preordered at the THQ store so that the money goes directly to the publisher and I get a free season pass from it.
Bought the first game on day one, you'll have my vote again this time.
I presume most of THQ's studios are in a similar position, as I doubt THQ is still willing/able to keep financing studios who can't bring in money. I wish them the best of luck and their game seems pretty good from what I've seen.
