That fucking sucks. Darksiders 1 and 2 were awesome, Vigil deserved better.

 

[Skilletor]

Another casualty of AAA expecations for this generation.

I loved both DS1 and 2. Too bad we'll never get to see what happens.

 

[Oni Link 666]

The writing was on the wall when Joe Madureira left. RIP, Vigil.

 

[NullPointer]

FUCK

...

RIP Vigil.

You WILL be missed.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Jeez. So much talent. Hope people get hired quick.

 

[Dahbomb]

RIP in peace.

[Razyl]

RIP Vigil

[JDSN]

This fucking generation.

 

[Amagon]

RIP

 

[Flame Lord]

Wow. Really thought someone would have bought them.

 

[Ingeniero]

RIP
May the Father judge them justly.

 

[Portugeezer]

I await their Lightsiders kickstarter.

 

[gdt]

Yeah this really really sucks. I was expecting them to pull through.

 

[Ponn]

Might be a nice team for a company to pick up for a new first party studio. I would say MS but they have a tendency to do bad things with their first party studios. Either close them or turn them into Kinect only developers.

 

[The End]

We're never getting that last piece of DS2 DLC, are we?

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Shit news. Darksiders is awesome.

 

[CrashPrime]

Shit. I'm bummed. Darksiders II didn't live up to my own hype, but it was still an awesome franchise from a great studio.

 

[alexandros]

Crap, I really liked Darksiders

 

[Dahbomb]

Tragic where you gonna go man?

 

[Totobeni]

RIP Vigil

no more Darksiders

[gabbre]

Depressing.

 

[Santiako]

That sucks, I hope everyone at Vigil finds a new job soon.

 

[Incendiary]

Dammit. While I had my issues with Darksiders II, I still liked them as a company and was looking forward to more games from them.

R.I.P.

 

[jred2k]

This day sucks. I can't believe a childs drawing tablet has caused so much shit.

 

[Sid]

Shit nvm

 

[bridegur]

Shame. I loved the first Darksiders, and although the sequel was a bit muddled, they were obviously a great studio. Too bad Nintendo can't buy them up.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Terrible news. Was really hoping they would make it.

 

[Takamura-San]

I wish i had a gif from trading spaces.

THERE"S STILL TIME.

Turn the machines back on.

 

[Bravo_Jade]

That's extremely disappointing. I hope many of them can reform something somehow.

 

[Baconsammy]

Crap, I wanted the female-based Darksiders game.

 

[Tenki]

Why didn't anyone want Vigil? ;_;

 

[Kickass667]

Oh god, my tears.

This is terrible, oh god.

Crytek agreed to purchase Homefront


Oh $hit, this deserves it's own thread here. Imagine what they could do with that IP....

 

[Doomrider]

Man, fuck this. Playing through Darksiders now and it's such a solid game.

Best of luck in the future, dudes.

 

[ymmv]

We're never getting that last piece of DS2 DLC, are we?

Very unlikely.... :-(

All we can hope for is that some Vigil employee uploads it to the net, otherwise all that work is gone forever.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Wow... that's a shame. Darksiders still had so much more potential.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I'd give them a shoulder to cry on, but my shoulder pads are too big and spiky!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So what's happening with the IPs? Vigil owned Darksiders or THQ?

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Darksiders was awesome. I'm currently two thirds of the way through 2 and it is way better than what I believed the general consensus was. Thanks for showing the world that there's another way to do Zelda. Crying shame that ending will never be forfilled. Thanks Vigil.

 

[Arcteryx]

FUUUUUUUU

Even though I haven't started DSII(GW2...), the "franchise" was one that I really enjoyed. I remember taking a chance with the first game(initially thinking it would be a dud, but something to tide me over)...but I came away LOVING it(one of a handful of games I'll NEVER get sick of replaying).

Sucks to see it go

 

[CubanBoy1127]

Man I really hope someone gets this license and creates another darksiders. People may hate the series but I am a huge fan of it. I really hope this isn't the end :-(

 

[Kard8p3]

but seriously..

 

[Des0lar]

Shit. Fucking shit.

No Darksiders 3 and no Dark Millenium Online (SP)

 

[Shin Johnpv]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Shalashaska161]

That sucks. They were a quality studio. Hope everyone is able to land on their feet.
