David Adams, the CEO of Crytek USA, has tweeted that he (or at least his company) is looking into buying the rights to the Darksiders series when it hits the auction block as part of the last sale of THQ properties
One of the sad and somewhat odd outcomes of today's big auction
News has broken out about the sale of THQ's assets and it looks like many of the defunct publisher's signature franchises have been acquired
Good news: true to their word
Sad but true: The PC version of Darksiders II is bare-bones and has some serious graphical problems
I played two PC ports of two big, exciting new games this week. One of them worked. One of them didn't.
You could, if Hong Kong gangsters weren't your thing, call Darksiders II the biggest game release of the week
Every corner of the Darksiders world is laced with art. There's art on art, more art than you can shake a stick at. That makes sense, given the fact that Vigil, the studio behind Darksiders and this August's Darksiders II, is headed up by well-known comic artist Joe Madureira.
The first Darksiders won a loyal following of fans for its badass remix of the Legend of Zelda's dungeon-crawling gameplay. But you couldn't really differentiate the way that main character War played. He was a bruiser with weapons that worked the same way for everyone. But Death will be more individualized, once…
While Nintendo has yet to release the full specs for its upcoming Wii U, you can guess by its launch lineup that its capabilities are probably in line with the Xbox 360 and PS3, something Vigil Games are now backing up.
In Vigil games' upcoming Darksiders II, players assume the mantle of Death, who is pretty much the only "personified supernatural force" more badass than War, the protagonist of the first game. The video above demonstrates gameplay from the early chapters of the game, showcasing Death's lighter move-set and quicker…
War rode proud and strong through the battle between good and evil in the original Darksiders, but he's only one of four apocalyptic horsepersons of interest. War, Famine, and Pestilence take the bench as Death saddles up his pale horse for Darksiders II.
Having been operating undercover for years now, it appears that THQ's massively multiplayer game based on the Warhammer 40K universe will make its public debut at next month's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
THQ's apocalyptic adventure Darksiders isn't forgetting about the PC gaming crowd, with a slightly late port of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game coming to Windows users at some point in the future. Wait, make that "June."
In Darksiders, you play as War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The other three, though, you never see them. They're away, at a volleyball tournament. If they were around, though, this is what they'd look like.
I wasn't a big fan
Joe Madureira, creative director on Vigil's freshly-released Darksiders, has revealed that already talks are underway to shift the franchise into things like movies and comic books.
There are many games you will play in 2010 that will be unique, original creatures. Titles that truly innovate, and for years will be remembered for the trail they've blazed. Darksiders is not one of those games.
Comic book artist turned game developer Joe Madureira talks about the challenges of designing the characters and creatures of Darksiders, the influence of movies on the game, and how he really hates drawing horses.
We know a Warhammer 40K MMO is coming, we know it's "years away
