Darksiders 2 will look “at least as good” as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, says Vigil

25 Comments

Vigil Games has confirmed that the graphics in Darksiders 2 will look “at least as good” as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. This is not surprising, of course, but it gave me an excuse to share the video after the break which features a minutes of pretty-looking gameplay. But again, this is not from the Wii U version.

    Wow, this game is looking REALLY f’ing awesome. This is on my list for Wii U.

  • Jat

    yeah. a must buy for WiiU

  • George Tirebiter

    Since their aim has been to port this game with additional features, their comment here doesn’t surprise me.

  • supermajora1

    hmm a port huh? Not surprised. I guess that I will stick to PS3 version unless the Wii U version comes out the same day. After all I would love to get all the trophies for this game.

    • Jono

      There probably will be trophies for the Wii U.

    • head in hands

      toker can you explain to the sane people what thius has to do with nintendo a 3rd party dev admits a direct port of a multi format game so its admitting theres no cash in the wii u version its just gone x360 and ps3 to x360 ps3 and wiiu

      and that proves something HAPPENED TO NINTENDO

      take your meds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it has nothing to do with nintendo

  • toker

    “at least as good” it might by better than the ps3 and xbox 360 i dont want a console that is less than xbox or ps3 and we are in 2012 what happend to nintendo.

    • uhga buga

      look up more of wii u plz.

      better thing to say is why aren’t they putting more effort into using the wii u’s power. For instance aliens colonel supposedly will look better on wii u

  • dwathisme

    at least as good??
    i dont want “at least as good”
    whats the point nintendo if ur only going to put out a console thats just as good as the currents???
    that commebt has really made me angry!!!
    i

    • uhga buga

      yea that comment is uneeded and really tells anyone who’s not following wii u that it’s weak i hope they are more careful with their wording in the future

  • Jono

    That is like my dream combat for an action game. So pumped!!!!

    It may look very slightly worse than the HD Twins (imma have to stop calling them that soon) for no other reason than lack of experience with the Wii U. However think about this, how long did it take the PS3 and 360 to look this good? Compare launch PS360 games to now (the Darkness series for 360 is a good point of comparison, Halo 3 and Reach work well too). When the Wii U gets to be as old as the HD Twins are now, we’ll be in for a true visual treat. That’s along with all the great Nintendo games we already get.

    @ Jono I think there called “accomplishments” but I just like collecting trophies to get a higher level. Im level 16 on my PS3.

    That’s funny because in this article :

    http://www.capsulecomputers.com/2012/05/darksiders-ii-interview-with-jeremy-greiner/

    It was said:

    Last of all, there’s the fact that a premium title such as Darksiders is being released on WiiU. Nintendo is making sure that everyone remains tight-lipped on details, but Greiner did reveal that since the WiiU is a next gen console we can expect it to really impress. Plus, he hinted that it will definitely be a unique experience and will make use of the WiiU controller’s abilities.

    So, if the games doesn’t impress, it has nothing to do with the hardware, its on THQ bottom line!

    • supermajora1

      This may or may not talk about graphically. The link is probably just talking about the new controller and different aspects of the console itself.

  • Truth

    I have never really liked Vigil games, these developers sound like xbox fan boys that make multiplats just for the extra profit.

  • Totoro

    Damn, I don’t see Vigil coming back for more Wii U titles.. “at least as good”? They either still have the earliest dev kit for Wii U, or they have something against Nintendo. That comment was deliberate. Then again maybe it’s to protect multi-platform interest.

    • D2K

      Since this is a multi-platform game they probably just took the build that they were making for the 360 and PS3 versions and ported it over the the Wii U. One should expect all the bells and whistles the Wii U hardware is capable of on a port assuming it is a port. Now if they built the Wii U version from the ground up on the Wii U and it only looks “at least as good” as the PS3 and 360 version to me that means…

      A. The programmers are to lazy to take advantage of the power of the Wii U

      B. Vigil wants a money grab and doesn’t want to wait for the time necessary to make a ground up Wii U and would rather take there chances on cashing in on the Wii U launch hype rather than later on.

      C. The Wii U isn’t much more powerful than current consoles.

      D. The game is a direct port and may take advantage of the Wii U’s power to look as good as the current port can look, but not as good as a ground-up Wii U game would look.
