I imagine that Death would have a solitary lifestyle when brandishing two massive scythesDarksiders is a franchise that centers on the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. This sounds like a perfect opportunity to have four players; War, Famine, Death and Conquest. However, the original was a solo experience and it appears that this will continue with Darksiders 2, but why?to game director, Marvin Donald, it is all down to technical issues. Virgil Games have high standards, each horseman would need to have up to 1000 unique animations and modern consoles would struggle to do this. Although the second game will feature Death alone, Donald does not discount a co-op Darksiders in the future:I hope the next one's co-op, but it just depends on the resources that are available, the size of the budget and whether or not Darksiders II does well. There are a lot of factors that are going to drive that. It's too soon to say.For more on Donald's view on the technicalities of modern Co-Op gaming, check out Read More.Multiplayer has been something we've been wanting to do since DS1.
You almost have to make four games. You've got completely different animation sets. It's 800 to 1000 animations for Death alone and they're all unique.
An enhanced version, titled Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, published by Nordic Games, was released on November 22, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
One thing great about working with Joe Madureira from Vigil Games is that he comes up with awesome characters but they have completely different proportions, so you can't share any of the animations across them.That means no copy-pasting of abilities between Horsemen. Of course there's balancing with the different abilities. We're going to want them to play differently, so we wanted to spend some time developing each of the characters individually.That's not to say we're going to put out four versions of this game and then have a fifth version that's co-op. I hope the next one's co-op, but it just depends on the resources that are available, the size of the budget and whether or not Darksiders II does well.

Hi Guys,As you know there is going to be a Darksiders Warmaster Edition coming out on October 25th or so with improved textures, shadow rendering and so on.Apart from that will it be worth buying and playing? I have played Darksider 2 and 3/4 of finishing Darksider.I would buy/purchase Darksiders: Warmaster Edition if(1) There would be more weapons upgrade in the game(2) Better or different gameplay styles(3) If you could choose the storyline and friends/enemies (just like in Thief: Deadly shadows you can choose the factions between pagans and hammerites)(4) Have a co-op mode where people can join in(5) Include a multiplayer mode where you can battle your friends and foes in an arena like in Darksider 2 where you have the Crucible and battleWhat are your thoughts? It's mostly to get the game playable on new consoles, but they're also doing the PC remaster because it really is very little extra work for all the extra revenue they'll get out of it.Ideally it's free to current owners, but it'll at least be heavily discounted like the DS2 remaster was (80% on launch for previous owners). If we do have to pay, I honestly suggest doing so, specifically for the sake of increasing the chances of a Darksiders 3 happening just that little bit more.The reason they're doing this at all is to raise funds and awareness of a possible sequel. So, if we have to, please vote with your wallets, folks. The game is not worth buying unless they add aditional content I would suggest buying the ps3 or xbox/360?
Version as the steam version I am playing has a ton of problems with the achievments actually registering after completing the objectives. I have obtained pretty much every collectable item in the game and it refuses to give the achievments life bar/wrath core/artifacts etc.
Unless you can't live without improved textures, shadow rendering and so on I would save your money if I was you and buy the older copy of the game since it is highly unlikely they will add extra content for game play such as side quests story 'more places to go with the horse' these things would be nice.
