9800 recommended?! Clearly not a Pc build. Atleast we get it :3

Animals_as_Leaders5243d ago

recommended specs are meaningless.

Crysis also had an 8800gtx as recommended...we all know how that ran at 1080p...

Basically as a rule, recommended means 30 frames on the highest setting with no AA.

If you want to max it out you'd want a gtx285 or a gtx460 most likely.

kevnb5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

people didnt run 1080p much back then, and there wasnt much higher than an 8800gtx. a 260 should max it at 60 fps no problem.

Animals_as_Leaders5243d ago

I know there wasn't 1080p much...but a 8800gtx couldn't even get 30 frames maxed with no AA at 1680x1050 in Crysis, so my statement of it not being able to run games with the recommended specs are absolutely true.

Sounds about right, Im glad PC game requirements are kinda normalizing... For the most part.

jay25243d ago

Fair enough, no worries on this PC to play it.

This is why I don't buy video games anymore. I have a huge Steam backlog and developers are gracious enough to offer their products for free. Fortnite is free, Darkness is free, lots of good free games. Thanks Humble

masterfox2982d ago

Nice thanks for the heads up.

I had a blast with the 1st one. It was perfect. The 2nd not that much, was pretty forgettable tbh and the cell shading, although beautiful, was not my kind of tea

That said, if they make a 3rd one they should make it a bit closer to the original's...vibe and looks.

kevnb3112d ago

Its not even made by the same team, I hate when publishers do that.

veicht3111d ago

I still enjoyed 2, it still kept some of the neat things from the first one. Having said that, the first is considerably better, I'd rather the 3rd (somehow) end up being made by machine games which seems to be where a fair amount of the darkness/butchers bay devs ended up.

chris2353112d ago

are we talking switch ports again or why is another lastGen game in the headlines?

ctrlxthroat3111d ago

I'm still hoping for a pc rerelease of the original.

Venoxn4g3111d ago

I personally enjoyed this one more than first game (even though I think first one is good too)

The Darkness: A Greek tragedy for the video game age - G4@Syfygames

Matt Ferguson from G4@Syfygames writes "When I think of tragic love stories and star-crossed lovers, I can't recall a more heart-wrenching example than Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano from The Darkness. What begins as a romantic story between two people from very different worlds ends abruptly in a horrific tragedy, drawing many parallels from the works of Classical Greek tragedians and epic poets."

I agree! That was a great game with well played characters.

Kallisti3746d ago

Still own a copy of both of them. The Darkness III on PS4/PC/XONE would be awesome.
