I'd buy it if they bundle the game with the second one which I'm sure it already has a current gen port

I liked the first game enough that I'd recommend it to someone who wants a discount Zelda and GoW

Okay, so, this is a personal and somewhat complex web of nonsense involving a highly unstable individual I was friends and briefly FWBs with, but I can only assume there will be a never-ending clusterfuck on gaf now until the end of time, which inevitably involves you guys and gals on the mod team in some way, so I'm an open book here. The woman in question ended up being completely psychotic and held a grudge against me after a bizarre love triangle situation developed a few years ago between me, her, and another girl (the other girl I ended up in a long-term relationship with shortly thereafter). This NOLA story she apparently just put up on social media is a delusion of a deeply disturbed person who had a total psychological breakdown as a result of me and the other girl getting together, because she (phew, yeah...) became obsessively infatuated with the other girl (she's bi) on sight when the three of us met up. I wanted to just stay friends with the girl making the accusation and made it super super clear ahead of time that me and the other girl were interested in each other romantically and that could play out as such when we met up. Supposedly this was not a problem for her from accusation, but in reality she uhhh wanted me to die painfully after seeing me and the other girl interact. Plus she became infatuated with the other girl simultaneously to this (she's bi), which created the aforementioned bizarre love triangle that ended up causing her to implode and have an apparently very intense and long-lasting grudge. The whole story about how that love triangle thing played out is, frankly, nuts and scary, and involves this girl bringing us to a compound of dangerous scientology spinoff cultists on that same trip, who roofied us, attempted to recruit/scam me and attempted to abduct/rape the girl I ended up dating, in what was a fucking scary situation that resulted in me and the other girl and the rest of my friend circle never speaking to this girl from the accusation again.
 
If the improvements are significant then I'll definitely be interested. Liked both games, but I didn't buy the DSII remaster because it was supposedly lazy and half-arsed.

Bleh don't want a remaster... give me a Darksider 3 already.

I expect they need good sales of DSI & II in order to be able to finance or justify a third game.

They also want and need to remind people of Darksiders. Especially the one with superior reception. Making the first two accessible on all current machines helps.

How was DS2 on Wii U? Did it run well or was it a technical mess?

Might go into the series if they release the first one as well.

Did they ever fix the Darksiders 2 remaster?...cause that port was not in good shape...constant screen tear and terrible frame rate.

WiiU?
I'll get it just to complete it before really digging in the sequel I never touched on WiiU!
Good move, it's more likely I'll be interested in an eventual Darksiders 3.
better not release anywhere close to Zelda or I'm never going to touch it anyway though.

Fantastic game that unfortunately had a bad screen tearing issue before the patch. I finished it before they even fixed the issue, lol. I'd buy it again for sure, but I'd want some real enhancements. Wii U being included doesn't give me much hope.

Apparently they need to sell reboots (DS2) and remasters (DS1) so that DS3 could happen and something tells me, that Nordic just refuses to fund it and make it happen otherwise so.... reboots of shitty ports and remasters.
 
why bother releasing anything on Wii U at this point?

I guess trying to take advantage of the complete vacuum of Wii U software this holiday. After Paper Mario hits in October, this will be the de facto biggest new title on shelves if it gets a physical release.

Why is it so surprising it's coming to Wii U? Darksiders 2 is on Wii U also.

And Nordic Games has released two games on the Wii U in just the last year (Legend of Kay Anniversary and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2), making it one of the more prolific third-party retail publishers on the Wii U in that time (behind Warner Bros. and Little Orbit, tied with Activision).

DS1 was legit good back on Ps3.

I didn't buy DS2 remaster because the port was so shit. I liked that game as well and would've bought if good remaster with 60fps.

Nordic seems like the only third party who still puts stuff out on WiiU.


I wonder if they plan to do any work on the PC version. As far as I recall, the PC version of Deathinitive wasn't announced same time as consoles either.

A PC magazine is reporting on a game that is on PS4/Xone/WiiU but no word on a PC version. Weird.

Maybe there will be no significant visual enhancements, just basic porting and hopefully raising of the framerate. Like Bioshock Infinite in the new collection [just 1080p60 port on consoles, no changes on PC].
