New Darksiders 2 Details

Darksiders 2 is still a ways off, but that hasn't stopped THQ from dropping a few details for fans.

Speaking at the IGDA conference in San Francisco last week, THQ VP of Core Games Danny Bilson teased some information about the sequel.

NYC_Gamer5681d ago

was the first one any good?

Letros5681d ago

It was a lot of fun, I rented it for PS3, but might pick it up on a Steam deal here soon to go at it again. I'm guessing on the mega Thanksgiving or Christmas sale it will be cheap.

ABizzel15681d ago

It was a good game, not great but something you wouldn't mind paying $30 or $40 for.

It's 50% Legend of Zelda, and 50% God of War, but it never reaches the same level of perfection as those 2 games (not that those 2 games are perfect, but they're the best of their genres).

If you like either of those games, then you should pick Darksiders up. I'd rate it an 8.5/10 and I'm a hard reviewer.

Here's my review of it

I haven't even played the first one .. lol

Nerox35681d ago

IMO the gameplay was extremely boring even fully powered....graphics were crappy,,,,but story is somehow good and satisfying :D

Daver5681d ago

I really liked Darksiders, i cant wait for the sequel. Story is very nice and so is the gameplay. I dont know why some say graphics were not good, theres a lot of games worst than this one graphically.

Ahasverus5681d ago

Zelda for grown ups if you will ;)

CombineElite5681d ago (Edited 5681d ago )

Yeh I'm waiting for a Darksiders Steam $3.99 special as it's not worth $50.

That's the problem with some of these DEVS, they pump out crappy games and expect gamers to pay $60 bucks instead of renting or waiting for a Steam sale.

Core games and THQ need to make Darksiders a must buy by pumping up the graphics, tightening the control and improving the story and game-play. You want people to purchase it well how about some Free DLC which always inspires gamers to hold onto a game.

Darksiders just doesn't have the juice to stay in someones gamer collection and seeing Core games and THQ just ported it to the PC they must be smoking thinking PC gamers were gonna pay $50 for a straight console port. Next time add some PC features like maybe a mod kit or CO-OP play

See ya at $3.99

I can't believe this sucker hasn't played this game!
Yet you supported NG (NG3 is sick!) and loved Bayonetta.

Yo this game is awesome! War is FARKING badass! You would love the graphics too because it's like a comic book brought to live or a living comic book in CG.

The combat is quite different, you can play it like an hack n slash or like adventure type style.

I can't wait for DarkSiderS 2, when it comes out Bayonetta 2 will come out as well and once again DarkSiderS 2 will win over Bayonetta just like it did before.

-Ninja Gaiden 3- is sick!:)

Wow Darksiders 2???

The first one was HORRIBLE. Boring, Ugly game.

Genesis55681d ago

You think that? I love the game it has an old school feel to it. It reminds me a lot of Soul Reaver games the way it played. I'll definetly be getting the next one.

Baka-akaB5681d ago

he obviously didnt even played it . At least not more than 5 mins

VersusEM5681d ago (Edited 5681d ago )

I never thought about that, but your right, I think in Darksiders 2 they should go open world with side missions, that would be fun. I also like the fact that War won't be in the next game, I feel they should go with a more develop character.

Headquarters115681d ago

I played it for like 3+ hours. Maybe more. I don't remember. I just Couldn't get into it. I played it after God of War 3 so maybe that is why I feel that way about Darksiders.

Blaster_Master5681d ago

OMG, next gen soul reaver would make me jizz my pants.

THANK the poster for putting something on that's not Black ops or Kinect related.

EditorAtGNG5681d ago

The sequel will have you playing a new character, and none of the horseman? Really? Who the hell are we going to play as, some random badass turned human? I am not so certain about this...

The fact that they introduced ALL of the horsemen (SPOILER) at the end of the first game is just a freaking tease. Especially since YOU WON'T BE PLAYING AS ANY OF THEM. That's really shitty if you ask me. The possibility of a 4 way co-op (hell, even 2 way) as a Raider is just too freaking awesome to let go. Imagine Death and War going toe to toe with a legion of Demons/Angels.

Baka-akaB5681d ago

O ye of little faith ...
Who knows yet what the new guy will be ? With madureira at design he'll obviously still look bad ass and awesome . Hell while unlikely , it would be fun with Ulthane , a demon or an angel

I'm sure the possibility of getting all 4 will be there for a third game .

At least as a pretty good consolation prize , we'll probably be going against the horsemen at some point , with the new guy .

The_Nameless_One5681d ago

It only said you won't be playing as War again. That doesn't mean you won't get to play as the other horsemen. Lets just wait and see.

Baka-akaB5681d ago (Edited 5681d ago )

Very much looking forward to it .

As expected many just brushed it as a god of war clone , when if we were to point fingers the game had far more in common with zelda and metroid/castlevania experience ... or heck Soul reaver with even a big nod to portal at some point .

The only pity is i was expecting the four horsemen (switching along the story between them) and maybe even 4 players co-cop given the way the game ended .

Still i have confidence i wont be dissapointed by the sequel

Because the PS4 has slow loading times I do prefer PS5 versions of games. The PS5 does load PS4 games faster but with a native PS5 version it loads much faster and it looks a bit better and better draw distance and such. So for me , I do want these 3rd releases for certain games and this is one of them. It’s one of my favorite PS3 games. Nobody is forced to buy it. It is not hurting anyone and it gives devs more money to make future games. These re-releases aren’t selling millions but it’s nice for people like me or people who never played the game.

Gamehard591d ago

It's a free upgrade for anyone that owns the PS4 and I'm assuming Xbox one version digitally.

jznrpg590d ago (Edited 590d ago )

I came back to add that it was free. Hard to be upset about a free upgrade. I would like to have a PS5 physical copy but it’s better than nothing
