Darksiders: Warmastered Edition (Wii U/PS4/XBO/PC) info and screenshots
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Tower section is IMO totally fine. Just need to warp your mind about all the teleporting. But, finishing that section is a must because ending of the game is fucking spectacular.
Now imagine downsampled PC version of Warmastered Edition.

DS2 on Wii U was a rush job cut off by THQ exploding during pre-launch craziness. So that shouldn't really be the benchmark to judge this against.
Splinter Cell Blacklist also ran at higher resolution on Wii U (though 360 had that optional high res texture pack install that none of the other machines got) btw, since you asked.
Sounds like a weird collection of soda flavors.
I know right? It ruined what was, until that point, a fantastic Zelda-style game. I can't believe someone played through the whole game and thought The Black Tower fit just right there, they should've scrapped it to be honest.
At this point this kind of naming is probably an inside joke for them lol, Darksiders 3 will probably follow suit.
Ah, gotcha! thx.

Y'know it'd be cool if they made that game that was teased at the end of Darksiders 1 but nah

Lol, it was something wasn't it? Getting all that mileage with Ruin will sure take time for the trophy as well, but at 60fps it should be much easier in that large desert area. What the hell is 60 fps in moment to moment gameplay....., sounds non-optimal......
In any case I hope they boost DS2 to 60fps as well, then we will have a proper collection.
Riders of apocalypse in this universe are War, Death, Fury [woman with a whip] and Strife [guy with 2 guns].

Sounds like the pre-rendered cutscenes will still be 30 FPS. And there's quite a lot in Dark Siders 1.
Still the best Darksiders game, though. Liam O'Brian's voice work is top notch here and the Zelda gameplay just works better here than in the sequel. And of course that ending....

If the PS4 or PC version doesn't look better then the WiiU version then I don't think I'll bother.

That's why they're doing this. To gauge interest in the series to see if it's worth it and just how much it's worth. Likely to also see what people like, don't like and which game they prefer so they have somethingto go off of so it'll be more successful and profitable. There isn't really much other reason to remaster them considering they weren't terribly popular.

And the framerate in the overworld dropped to some N64-level values.

I put it in the title, but it's a bit odd.
In the features it doesn't say it, but does when talking about the framerate, and if you look on the site, only PC is on the banner.
I'm thinking yes, but who knows, it wasn't name-dropped either when it was stealth-announced before.

That was all in the first game. Spend souls on upgrades.

I knew they would name is something weird like with DS2 but I wouldn't have guessed this haha. Did they announce price? Was rumored $20 which would be awesome for me

The game people want from Nordic would be very, very, very expensive to make for a niche publisher that has almost entirely gotten by on IP ownership.
It's just marketing speak. You upgrade War with the various items you find from dungeons or defeating bosses, buy skills and abilities using souls you collect, and you can use those items to customize your combat approach if you want. I guarantee nothing has been changed or added in that regard, it's just PR trying to make it sound exciting.

Oh god, I remember propping my controller up upside down or something like that so that I'd ride in circles for a few hours just for that dumb trophy. So glad I stopped caring about that crap soon after.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
That is literally the dumbest fucking title I've ever heard.

Definitely would play this game again. I completed it 99% the last tim on 360 (was mssing a gem or something, decided to let it go). Although I will wait until the $20 magic price point.
We really need a current gen Darksiders 3 ASAP.

That's lame. I can somewhat accept it being hard to think of a good moveset for Famine but Pestilence? Just be a Death Knight from WoW and slap fools with diseases.

They said €20 at that EU event where this broke.
I don't get the "more work" part. One original game vs a port.

Everything shown of Paper Mario so far has been rather unimpressive. With Darksiders at least we all know that's already a good game.
Indeed. with free CA to boot... :/
I have no idea what they meant with doubled the texture resolution, as all original textures were handpainted, they redid all the original artwork? I doubt it.
Instead, they should invest time in DS3 and 4.

Thank god i don't have a fucking clue what people mean when they say CA. Because I don't see anything wrong.

Ridiculous name. But I assume it's free for current owners the same way DS2 Definitive was?

It's not like any of the ports on the Wii U are impressive considering most of them are handled by a very small group of people.
Goddammit I'm seeing Chromatic Aberration.
MAAAH GAAWD, this game is made from pure hype.

Universe is so well made, and performances are so great [especially stoic and unyielding War by Liam o'Brien]... and dat game ending.

If I remember correctly, PC owners had big discount on purchasing Deathinitive edition.

I'm ready to play this game again. Loved the original. Hopefully there is a 2-game pack available.

If you value your sanity, don't watch this.
And for examples, watch this and this from Bloodborne. You'll get the idea of CA. In essence, the outskirts of the screen gets a nauseating amount of motion blur like effect.
Warmastered huh?
I wonder if they'll keep that trend going if they ever release a third game.

I don't understand, this game was average at best and that was back in the last gen days too. Did this series even sell that much to even warrant a "mastered" edition? I mean, I doubt Darksiders 2 even sold a lot, let alone the "remaster"
TheMoon

That's your opinion then. Color Splash looks really really cool to me but I have no "OMGTYYDisdabesss!" nostalgia coloring every new release either. Not saying you do just that that's a popular sentiment.
Shit's expensive. Nordic ain't no AAA(A) publisher.

I believe it's that odd red and blue outline effect you see in this shot for instance:
You see it around the blurry objects around the corners and such.

80% if you owned the base game, 100% if you owned the season pass in addition. But since DS1 didn't have DLC or a season pass of the kind...
