What's the price if you already own the original?

 

[BY2K]

So their remastering technique was to just slap a bunch of CA on the game?

Yea no thanks.

And upping the resolution to native 1080p, doubling the texture resolution and 60FPS?

Didn't read those?

 

[Ushay]

Seem like they are going back in numbered sequels... At this rate we will be getting another prequel.

I'm a huge fan so I will be picking both these games up (again) in hopes we get a third and hopefully properly developed too.

 

[killroy87]

That CA is atrocious, was it even in the original game?

Once again, I consider myself blessed to have no eye for this mythical toxic effect. It's been explained to me multiple times, still have no idea how to spot it.

Remember those old red and blue pics you'd have to wear those red and blue glasses to see them in 3D? It's like that sort of.

Do these images look the same to you? You might have a superpower lol.

 

[icespide]

confession: I kind of like CA

 

[DMiz]

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.

It probably has more to do with the way the name sounds more than anything else. Death, for sure, works as a name, since we've seen several characters named Death and have also seen many anthropomorphic versions of Death. War works because it's short and monosyllabic.

Famine and Pestilence, though, are both multisyllabic, have not really been personified as names for gods (a la Death), and both suggest a sickly, ill-looking appearance.

I agree that going in the other direction - both Strife and Fury, which are aspects of Wrath - is not creatively the best decision, either, but I can see why it was done.

I do too in the right situations. This one, without seeing it in motion, looks a little heavy handed. Not the worse I've seen though.

 

[zma1013]

Has any developer ever explained why they use CA? Do they think it looks cool or something? Are focus groups saying, "Guys... I gotta tell ya... needs more Chromatic Aberration."

 

[Sinatar]

And upping the resolution to native 1080p, doubling the texture resolution and 60FPS?

Didn't read those?

I played it on PC at 1080x60.

So they upped the texture resolution and then blurred the shit out of them with CA.

Yay.

 

[Arttemis]

This game at 60fps on console is enough to rope me in for a third copy.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I noticed numerous big sites caught this and no-one bothered to mention me at all.

I guess it doesn't matter, but still.

 

[NateDrake]

Why would you expect them to mention you? You link to an official site with information.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Yeah true, just all of the sudden it spreads as if this thread never happened and sites act like they found it themselves you know?

Like I said, it doesn't really matter, I guess some recognition wouldn't hurt.

Oh well, you guys knew I found it.

Edit: No worries, not really bothered by it anymore.

 

[littlebigman]

Well damn, didn't expect this game would ever get the next gen treatment. I'll be getting this on WiiU so I can have both games on one platform. Plus, this will likely be one of the last AAA 3rd party games for the platform so you know it's going to be hella collectable in a few years.

 

[CrispyBoar]

I hope that this is DS1. It's the better DS game between the two.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I hope that this is DS1. It's the better DS game between the two.

Well yeah, it is, see the artwork in the OP?

 

[H.Cornerstone]

JUST MAKE A THIRD ONE ALREADY

 

[Xeteh]

JUST MAKE A THIRD ONE ALREADY

Its just going to take place at the same time as the first two and end at the same spot.

 

[Regginator]

I hope that this is DS1. It's the better DS game between the two.

You can see the DS1 remaster box art, you can see War, you can see the post-apocalyptic Earth, you can read the description, etc. etc., so yeah, I think they'll re-re-release Darksiders II again. Unless there's another Darksiders I'm not aware of.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Played a demo of this year's ago, but never got around to it. Seems like a good chance to jump in, but I heard the franchise was dead, or stalled or something.

 

[patchday]

havent played DS in quite awhile. hoping they make DS 3 someday too

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

JUST MAKE A THIRD ONE ALREADY

I really hope so.

 

[BAW]

Its just going to take place at the same time as the first two and end at the same spot.

Don't even joke about that Xeteh

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Chromatic aberration takes up most of the screen, what the hell? Might as well just call it the N-Gage edition at this point.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Its just going to take place at the same time as the first two and end at the same spot.

yea someone already posted the leaked titles

WARMASTERED
DEATHINITIVE
PESTILICIOUS
FAMITASTIC

 

[JaseC]

What's the price if you already own the original?

It'll most likely be given to current owners for free a la Ds2's DE (console players aside, obviously). This time around there isn't a bunch of DLC for Nordic to take into account, but CZ/JP/PL/RU retail keys activate a region-specific version of the game, which will no doubt go unnoticed to begin with (I might send Nordic a reminder).

 

[Whales]

I didn't even care about the CA in bloodborne or any other game but in those screenshots it jumped in my face, it feels like waaay too much

hopefully you can turn it off

 

[Novocaine]

CA doesn't bother me. If this runs as advertised I'm so in for another play through of this gem.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Already bought the 360 version, gonna sell it tomorrow.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

That cover was probably inspired by Zelda TP.

 

[Ridley327]

1080p on Wii U is a pretty impressive feat, especially as the game was sub-HD on 360 and PS3.

That was frustrating because they only gave it for free if you bought the Franchise pack. I owned Darksiders 1 and bought Darksiders 2 at full price and I only got the option to pay for an ugprade. It was a bummer.

 

[thetrin]

I think chromatic aberration looks cool. I'm part of the problem. :\

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

I really, REALLY want Darksiders 3, but I don't know if I can buy this game again.

 

[hlhbk]

I hope current PC owners this get upgraded free or very cheap like Darksiders 2 was.

 

[RoninChaos]

Date?

Wasn't that eventually corrected?

What is chromatic aberration?

 

[blame space]

chromatic abrasion is when developers cut performance on any texture that's reflective, it saves CPU power but makes anything metallic have a distinctive foggy look.

 

[Johndoey]

Warmastered is fantastic.

 

[Xeteh]

Wasn't that eventually corrected?

I never saw anything about it if it was. Still just have vanilla DS2 in my steam library.

 

[GhostBed]

In for the Wii U version. Love me some third party Wii u games.

Tried playing it a few years back and couldn't really get into it but excited to give it another go.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

We ever gonna get a number 3?

 

[TheMoon]

I hope that this is DS1. It's the better DS game between the two.

How did you get this far into the thread without reading the headline, OP, or any post about it? Or even looking at any of the pics?

 

[DangerMouse]

Will pick this up.

 

[Shiggy]

Finally gamers get a new generation game that Silicon Knights worked on.

 

[JaseC]

I never saw anything about it if it was. Still just have vanilla DS2 in my steam library.

For once, my memory didn't fail me.
