Neoseeker writes: Vigil Games has expressed their frustration regarding the comparisons to the Zelda franchise Darksiders 2 receives.
The original Darksiders was initially compared to the Nintendo IP due to its similar style, with the inevitable comparisons making a return for its sequel. Darksiders 2 lead designer Haydn Dalton, though, don't seem too keen on the comparisons from fans.
Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, despite being another re-release, shows that Darksiders II is an incredible game that deserves more attention.
Because the PS4 has slow loading times I do prefer PS5 versions of games. The PS5 does load PS4 games faster but with a native PS5 version it loads much faster and it looks a bit better and better draw distance and such. So for me , I do want these 3rd releases for certain games and this is one of them. It’s one of my favorite PS3 games. Nobody is forced to buy it. It is not hurting anyone and it gives devs more money to make future games. These re-releases aren’t selling millions but it’s nice for people like me or people who never played the game.

It's more like God of War than Zelda. By a long shot.
All things considered, though, if you're going to make a game that so blatantly borrows so many elements--stylistically, mechanically and even aesthetically--you really -cannot- complain about your consumers pointing out the similarity.
I mean, that's almost as bad as making a game and then making a point of telling everyone that it's not "for" gamers.
Funny, I can think of a ton of devs who would love their games to be compared to Zelda.
Surely being compared to an already popular game is a good thing.
so what if its compared to zelda in my opinion its better than zelda combat wise traversl wise, and character wise.
i saw some gameplay for darksiders and had no idea how it was being compared to zelda.If I had to compare it to any game,I would say prototype
I get his point...gamers and journalists now days always look for a way to compare, either good or bad, to another game. Like he said...if GTA4 has driving, they compare to a racing focused game, or the shooting to a focused shooter. I'm sure he's feeling...damned if you do, damned if you don't. For them to be working these crazy hours to put out the best product they can and all people do is point out negatives, or how it's just like something else can be a bit of a letdown...they're human.
I'm sure anyone who feels strongly about creating things, and someone comes and puts it down or says someone else does it better then they'd feel the same way.
Gaming sites, especially posters, seem to be wanting to destroy the very hobby they enjoy so much with the emo style judging they do on every little topic, mistake, DLC, updates, and such. People seem to forget how much innovation was introduced this gen, mainly focus on the misses, articles popping up about why this system will fail. It's sad really.
