Vigil Games Crafts A Fitting Tribute To The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

On its Facebook page, Vigil Games says it made the artwork as a tribute to one of its favorite video games, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Since its inception in 2005, the developer made two games – Darksiders and Darksiders II – both of which were inspired by The Legend of Zelda series.

Vigil deserves a new home.
No one picked them up, which boggles the mind.

I agree. This is the one main thing that pissed me off about the auction.

@chuk5, check out the link below. It seems that Platinum Games is interested in the Darksiders franchise so it might just end up purchasing it or the entire Vigil games.

@relientk77, Vigil was actually working on a totally new type of game. It was codenamed "Crawler". Here's what THQ president Jason Rubin had to say about the game: "When the teams got together recently to show each other their titles, Crawler dropped the most jaws."

That talent will land somewhere though..but yea would be nice to see a studio stick together.

Firefwy4107d ago

Investors/publishers want to buy studios and IPs that make money. Unfortunately, Darksiders II lost money for Vigil and THQ, which is why I suspect they weren't purchased at auction.

I think potential buyers are simply waiting for the price to come down. There's just way too much talent there for the whole studio to close shop.

Kennytaur4107d ago

It's also because they were in early development of a new IP, which meant a publisher would have to pay them for developing a couple of years and then for marketing. Seeing how Vigil only has two games in their belt, it would be a huge risk for a company to buy them.

But it is a real shame as I had high hopes for the studios future.

Instigator4107d ago

I'd buy Vigil if I had the money...:/

llMurcielagoll4106d ago

I just hope that Vigil would be bought by a good publisher some day, anything but those fat vulture EA hellbillies.

ironfist924106d ago

I was hoping Ubisoft would snatch em up, Darksiders is a fitting game for their line of franchises

llMurcielagoll4106d ago

@Ironfist92 Indeed! Ubisoft would make a great home for Vigil games.

Will just have to wait and see.

Knight_Crawler4106d ago

What really boggles my mind is why can'nt anyone make a good Zelda clone.

Zelda is my favorite franchise in the world but I am starting to get sick of how Nintendo has been handling it latly.

Sure Zelda was never about graphics, story telling or voice acting but I feel like Zelda needs to make a bold move into the next gen era and wow us with awesome graphics and an actual story with Link finally speaking...this and the awesome gamplay and universe that makes Zelda what is would be my dream come through.

If Nintendo does not want to move forward with Zelda then someone should make a clone with everything I mentioben...I dont care if Nintendo fanboys want to call it it a clone as long as it play like Zelda I will buy it.

Okami HD.. Zelda perfected

ElectricKaibutsu4106d ago

Okami was great. I don't know why you specified the HD verson, but anyway. Okami didn't fix one of the big issues Knight_Crawler pointed out, the wolf didn't talk either. Personally I don't care if Link talks. I wouldn't mind voice acting for the supporting characters though.

humbleopinion4106d ago

Okami, Kameo, Fable, Darksiders

IAmLee4106d ago

I've never actually played zelda. -__-

Although I do have windwaker and ocarina of time for gamecube..

God of War devs are looking to hire them.

Vigil's a pretty awesome dev. I liked both Darksiders and Darksiders II quite a lot; this is just the icing on the cake.

EddieNX 4107d ago

Darksiders 1 and 2 are amazing games , that apocalyptic difficulty has you at the edge of your seat.

It's extremely sad that The main dev we all wanted safe from THQ dissolving looks the one to going down the shitter :( .

At least relic got the right home at Sega but stil...

Skate-AK4106d ago

I thought Darksiders was easy on apocalyptic diffculty personally. I only died twice. Ended up getting the Platinum trophy last night.

BanBrother4106d ago

@Skate

Did you use a rubber band for the platinum? (Darksiders fans KNOW what I'm talking about. And yes... I did).

Relientk774107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

I would love to see what else Vigil has up its sleeve, Darksiders 3, and a new IP?

TheBardsSong4106d ago

I guess you didn't hear the news... :(

pr0t0typeknuckles4107d ago

now thats just badass, i still dont see how vigil wasnt picked up, imo they were one of thqs top 3.

This is a huge release being treated like a patch update but really it’s a monster in disguise…Bethesda being Bethesda, no actual release times or pre load available or file size info, sigh. All that said, clearing space on the SSD and putting the PS5 in rest mode while at work so I can play later, fully expecting snail download speeds as millions bang on their servers.

Simundo18m ago

It just popped up on the UK PSN store as a native PS5 download of 56 gigs. I had the PS4 version installed in case it just patched that but it is it's own download.

Not sure if that download includes the DLC's though which I own, think it's just the base game. At the moment there's no separate PS5 DLC download options. But might just take a bit for it to be added.

Barlos0m ago

Where do you find it? The PS4 version I have installed on my PS5 just updated but it doesn't include the next gen patch as you say, it only includes mods.

Review - A Difficult Game About Climbing (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."
