I hope this leads to Darksiders 3. This IP is great.

I'm really hoping there will be a Darksiders 3.

But on the other hand, seeing how they are neglecting Darksiders 1 in their remaster, it's very clear they want Darksiders 3 to be more of 2.

I'll pass, what a mediocre game after the first entry. Storywise a big 0, I didn't know what I was doing in all of those worlds from beginning to end.

Whoever came up with DEATHINITIVE needs to be fired from the copywriting position, ASAP.

 

[NumberThree]

Best name for a remaster I've seen so far.

 

[Acquiescence]

You guys are taking the whole "Deathinitive" thing way too seriously.

 

[DieH@rd]

Whoever came up with DEATHINITIVE needs to be fired from the copywriting position, ASAP.

And hired as a head of marketing department!!!

 

[Hollow]

That title is amazing.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

The latter, minimum effort but maximum price tag I suspect.
Well DS2 is an awesome game IMHO but this remaster is useless.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I'd love an increase in frame rate and maybe some of the content to be reworked, but I think they'll do the absolute bare minimum and chuck it out for $40.

 

[YianGaruga]

This is the worst title

 

[ArjanN]

This is the worst title

And simultaneously the best.

 

[Manmademan]

I never finished 2, got distracted by other games but it wasn't terrible.

I'd be in for this, if only because it means Darksiders 3 might get made.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

We need to page the mods for thread title change because this is ripe for parody!


THIS IS RIPE!

 

[JohnnyFootball]

As I have stated many times
"No Darksiders 1, no purchase"

Just please don't let it be a High Voltage Studios production.

 

[Jintor]

DEATHinitive edition

BOOOOOOO

BOOO THIS PUN

 

[Maffis]

Tempted, but I don't see a reason to go back to this world a second time tbh. But I hope it sells well so we can have a sequel!

 

[glaurung]

I actually hope they have redone some of the texture work for this remaster. The original game had some seriously crappy textures on PC. Running 1440p made it look real bad.

But, knowing our luck, it will be a hastily recompiled PC version with all the DLC piled on top. Sigh.

 

[sn00zer]

If you play this game and are at all even halfway decent at action games, play on apacolyptic (the highest) difficulty

 

[Mawlok]

Played the shit out of darksiders 2, but never really got far in the original. Worth sticking to it for the story?

 

[PulseONE]

If it gives a chance at Darksiders III, I shall buy it again!

 

[Ushay]

If this gets an Xbox One port I'll buy it purely because I think it deserves a third fully fledged game.

 

[bobawesome]

Deathinitive Edition is an amazing title. Judging by the reactions in this thread, I can see who has good taste.

Spoiler

It's me. I have good taste.

 

[Risgroo]

DEATHINITIVE

 

[Akzel]

I would like both Darksiders 1 & 2 as a Definitive Edition. Otherwise, not sure I'll buy it.

 

[CoolZombie]

If it's cheap enough I'll grab it (provided its on X1) but it really should be a collection of both games and not just the sequel.

 

[sleverfunk]

Lmao that's so edgy.

 

[Corpekata]

Makes me feel like I have a lisp saying it out loud.

 

[Kasper]

I love that pun. 10/10. Almost makes me want to buy the game.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I hope its only 30 or 40 bucks. Loved that game, but i dont see a reason to pay 60 again.

 

[immortal-joe]

Do we know who's handling the port?

 

[Dahaka]

Best Darksiders game by far. Glad it gets a wider audience. Please buy this people.

 

[CRA5H]

Darksiders is one of my favourite IPs but please do not release at $70 here in Canada... I really want to support you but be logical and not greedy... please.

 

[Majanew]

Haven't played the first game so I'll have to pass since this is only the second.

 

[Memorabilia]

Jesus. So I guess the goal is to re-release every single game from last gen, eh? *sigh* Yeah, yeah...I know..."don't like it, don't buy it". I agree. But I think its safe to say "HD Remasters/Definitive Editions" have officially jumped the shark. It's difficult to view this as anything other than a lame cash-in.

 

[Cmerrill]

I didn't like these games at all.

Also, the graphics make me feel kind of sick. I think it had a bad framerate and terrible aliasing.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Man, a Darksiders Collection would be awesome and a much easier sell.

 

[Yado]

Hm, I didn't think there was demand for this

 

[glaurung]

Hm, I didn't think there was demand for this

There really isn't.

But Darksiders II is another in a long list of games that were semi-popular during the last generations - and more specifically, had a proper PC release. Re-releasing the PC version as a PS4/Xbox One game is real simple thanks to good middleware tools.

 

[Z3M0G]

Really? Why not release both with an announcement of a 3rd?

 

[erotic grandpa]

I'm not opposed to the port (I never finished the game on 360, ran into a bunch of crashes during the Earth segment), but if USFIV, Saints Row IV Re-Elected, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition and a number of other ports are anything to go by - good god it all depends on who's porting it.

 

[Dahaka]

Wonder how my fellow german and french people pronounce this.

Daakseidas Desinitiff Edischn. JA?

 

[YianGaruga]

Daakseidas Desinitiff Edischn. JA?

way too accurate

 

[El-Suave]

I was a big fan of the first game but when I wanted to play the sequel I was sick and not in the mood for the puzzle room after puzzle room setup I encountered, so I dropped the game and never returned to it. This makes picking it up again really tempting so I'll probably bite.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Damn everyone so serious lol, I think the name is great

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Fantastic game, one of my goats. It has a genuine and unusual '80s fantasy movie style, fitting really neatly into the middle of a lot of great archetypes and eras of 3D gaming- Zelda, loot, button masher and platformer.

Hopefully there's something at E3, and it lives up to expectations.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I never did finish this on PC. But man, that title is so good I'm tempted to grab this.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm assuming by that title and box art that the people working on this are taking it about as seriously as it deserves

 

[Poodlestrike]

"DEATHINITIVE," holy crap lol. I was gonna buy it anyway to try and get them to make 3, but now it's getting spot in my library just for that pun.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Still not buying it if the first one is not included in this pack, or at least getting a standalone HD release.

 

[JimmyBoy]

DS1 is so god damn good, it needs to be included in this remaster. Pleeeeeeease.

 

[JigglesBunny]

DEATHinitive edition

They're joking.

Spoiler

.. right?

 

[Ploppee]

DEATHINITIVE

so much this. Am also hoping for Darksiders 3. Please let the story be good this time.
