Darksiders II will be released in June for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Pc, and the Wii U release will come alongside the new system in Christmas.

Hayden Dalton has confirmed that the sequel Darksiders II will be a Wii U launch title in a recent event in Amsterdam.

He also talked about the game in the new Nintendo platform:


“One of the things that we did, when we were originally going to show it off, was that you could equip stuff directly. So, for instance, I could be running along and I could click on another piece and I could put it on as I’m running through the game,”


“That’s huge, it’s not breaking up the game in a way, I’m not going into a menu and assigning it, I’m literally just tapping as I’m playing.”

Darksiders II will be released in June for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Pc. The Wii U version of the game will arrive this Chistmas with the new system's launch.

If you want to see the game, just take a look to the video below:

you gotta be shitting me man lol
wii cant do a game like this
360/ps3/pc
all the way

i certainly hope it will be rel on these platforms too :)

dave

EDIT :- YES end of june for all other platforms ;)

yes, it is indeed coming out on those inferior, last gen platforms as well as the wii u.

[DEDDOA]

I thinkt hey mentioned this a few months ago, they said that they would be releasing it int he summer in time for the Wii U launch. Maybe not official but prettymuch expected. I'll be intrested to see if it actually is anything more than a clone of the PS3/360 versions or at least comes with the usuall bells and whistles of the PC version, as in increased res, sharper textures, AA that removes 99% of the staircasing and AF that works on an entire scene as opposed to few feet infront of you.

[Diztructor]

yes, it is indeed coming out on those inferior, last gen platforms as well as the wii u.

inferior last gen systems, lol the wii u is so superior its launch game is a inferior system port.

if the wii u was so superior it would have something far better, ohh lets wait for its release and we will see that your so called superior machine, i bet barly has any difference at all.

But saying this, lets just wait for MS and SONY to release their next gen consoles, and we will be true die hard fanboys like you and point n laugh at the wii u for its inferiority ohh n its "inferior last gen ports" its "recycleware mario/zelda games" its iFAD shovelware games.

facts, boy, facts.

as the new gen rolls round the wii / ps3 / 360 are last gen systems

the wii u is superior to to the 360 / ps3 / wii therefore they are inferior

without an upscaler all the assets of the wii u version will need to be rendered at 1080p natively.

so just to be clear

ps3 / 360 are inferior
ps3 / 360 are now last gen
whilst some code can be shared it wont be a straight port because it needs different assets


and yes, if the reason for the delay of the other new systems is as rumored because they are waiting for reasonably priced dual core graphics chips then they will of course be graphically superior to the wii u.

you could point and laugh all you like as the least powerful next gen system crushes its opposition just like the psx, ps2 and wii did but a 1 year head start will be enough to attract those of us who like games rather than sony, and by the way, do you honestly think that there will be a massive difference between all 3 systems next time since all 3 will offer full 1080p @60fps, it wont be as noticeable as the difference between the wii and ps3/360 or the ps2 and gcn/xbox.

the thing you missed is erm lets point and laugh as you will not notice a major difference in this game that has caused you to get such a hard-on in your pants, this so called "inferior" well durp we all know the PS3/360 is a last gen system, thanks for pointing this out to us, what would we do without you.

but the point i made is, you wont notice much difference between them, its not gona be as you claim, a SD system compared to a HD system.

but yet again, your a deluded fanboy everything nintendo is awesome, the wii had a head start, and what did they do with the head start? feck all, heck what have they done since launch?? terd games, but the FACTS are out there, which games sold sh1t loads more on the PS3/360 compared to anything sold on the wii (in its hole console life)

again your b1tching at this full 1080p, theres games on the 360/PS3 that run in 1080, and comparing 1080 to 720 theres nothing really different, just a little clearer. lets make this one thing clear, if a game runs in 720 v 1080 it wont make the games graphics any better, it only offers slightly crisper display.

But the point is, the wii u is highyl likely to be prone to what you class as INFERIOR last gen ports, which FACT wont look much better, not like comparing a ps2/gc/xbx to a ps3/360. it will simply because the wii u has slightly better specs, have a little further draw distance, slightly sharper textures, slighlty faster loading.

But hey ho, funny few years back, HD on the Wii, wasnt important, kinda like back in the last gen, the nintendo fanboys all boasted how RE4 looked better than the PS2 (but soon changed that record when it came to the PS3 p1ssing all over the wii, you all cried its not about graphics) and now it seems your going back to that song again, Wii u will have better graphics/display ect (but hmm didnt you all cry thats not what makes games fun) ohh wait, that record will soon change when the other 2 systems surpass the wii.

but all ill say is lets wait n see, as the same happend with the GC (it had great specs, but lacked the games the xbox and ps2 had) then the wii (lacked the games the 360/ps3 had and defo lacked the specs) so its likely again nintendo even tho it may have alsmost equal specs its highly likely to be another repeat performance that the previous two nintendo systesm had.

Well PC versions of games on reasonabley decent hardware while being superficially similar to the PS3 and 360 versions are still noticable superior, sharper textures, less or no jaggies due to 4+ AA, no texture bluring thanks to 4+AF and all running at 1080p+ which further enhances the previous 3. You clearly have no experience of this otherwise you wouldn't be so rash as to claim it won't be noticable as it is, and thats even on a smaller screen, on a larger screen TV it will be even more apparent, that is fact, whinge all you like about it but the diffeence will be there to see and it will be noticable. Yes there will be similarities with the PS3 and 360 versions, but that is only because it is developed for release on all 4 platforms (much like ps3 and more noticabley 360 early games as it had an extra year to share withteh PS2 and GC, the games looked similar but the newer console version lokked sharper and cleaner, even if it was doen to res and filtering). I sugest you actually experience somthing before you you are critical of it, any real short commings will be down to the developers not taking adavantage of the extra headroom to clean things up, not tthe hardware, and that being the case the same could be said for a top end PC game looking like a PS1 game if all the PC game was, was a direct port with no added options to increase the res/textures (tho luckily PC owners have device overide options for many settings).

Also, your comparisson of 1080p games ont he PS3 and 360, they were only 1080p because they had limited GFX (you could likley run a PS1 game at 1080p but it would be limited and look worse than a usuall 320x240 game), take somthing like Modern Warfare, which runs at 680p or whatever that sub 720p res was that was needed to get the game to run smooth, now runt hat at 1080p, increase the anti aliasing and anistropic filrering, and you have amuch cleaner and clearer game, that lookes noticably better, and thats even with the same low res textures and models. If you have ever been lucky enough to use Dolphin onthe PC and seen Wii games running in 1080p plus with high AA and AF, you can see just how much better it looks. I have had a fair few people say that when they have seen me playing Mario Kart and not knowing that it was an emulator, that the PC version was a major improvemnet over the Wii version, and they even added extra things like noticable tire textures. It makes them even more suprised when I tell them it's just the wii vesion on an emu running at a higher res and with 16x AF and 24x AA.

It's like a fuck1ng tennis match between billy and Diztructor every time there's a Wii news item.


but all ill say is lets wait n see, as the same happend with the GC (it had great specs, but lacked the games the xbox and ps2 had)

Last gen went like this: PS2 --> GC --> XBox. GC had some really great titles. I'm not talking just the recycled first party games either. I'm talking games like Eternal Darkness, Skies of Arcadia, Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2, RE 4 and SW: Rogue Leader. If you couldn't find anything on the GC to play, you weren't looking.

its like tennis, because he rants some pretty cr@p, this guy only hears what he wants to;
when sony/ms say the 360/PS3 will be HD consoles, he hears sony/ms say everything is going to be FULL 1080p

he actually thinks theres a MASSIVE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT in games running 1080 compared to 720 (when they aint exactly)

the VITA is another perfect example, MGS HD COLLECTION, he insists it cant look or be called HD because the vita screen isnt HD, yet states a console (the WII) can look HD (even tho the system isnt even HD) if he uses something to upscale.

So how is it, when it comes to nintendo it can be classed to look HD, yet the Vita cant... really sounds to me billy is a true die hard nintendo fanboy.

sure the Wii u is going to look better than this gen (its not rocket science) but take this game for example its not going to look that much better, but it is constant with billy, everything sony/ms he pick faults (half are just his own delusion) yet when it comes to nintendo, nothing is wrong (even when he contradicts himself - refare to the vita part again).

i know exactly the type of person billy is, hes the type that sits at home thinking he knows better than everyone else, constantly rants about evil corporations like some kinda conspiracy, yet any normal sane person would take it with a pinch of salt, especially when it comes to consoles actions to block hackers, because in his world only the people have rights, yet in my eyes its the people that abuse and that companies are also people and have every right to protect their businesses from those people that abuse.

but i am pretty sure i either know billy in person or someone who seems like him, and this person i cant stand either pmsl

i was looking, but it was the rest of the games that were cr@p and allways has been the case on every nintendo system, even the 3DS is starting to litter with pointless rushed childeren games, anything grown ups would want Resident Evil (total falure of a game, Capcom have since RE4 ruined the franchise) MGS3 (another great game ruined).

anyways as for the GC, Eternal Darkness, RE Remake, 0, 2, 3, CVx, RE4, MGS TS, Star Fox are the only games i found worth keeping.
The rest of the games were lame, ok maybe a TINY ammount of other decent games (not including multi platform games, because im trying to point out exclusive great games that nintendo allways lack).

@DEDDOA
Yes thats a good example, Wii U games will be like running lets say Alan Wake everything on max settings on a high end machine compared to the PS3/360 but saying that still isnt a MAJOR improvement as billy seems to claim.

you ask me to experience before been critical.... erm ok the experience i got off the GC wasnt impressive (as mentioned why above) the Wii well that was a a step backwards if you ask me (just a beefed up re launched cube and again same problem with the GC).

so we have yet again, nintendo releasing a new system, thats actually HD billy (not classed HD using a upscaller) which sure i would like, but nintendo has forced me away from it because of its iFAD controller, i hated having to use FAD controllers on the Wii, i hated the wiimote its was the most inaccurate pile o cr@p i have ever seen (the kinect is closer to what nintendo claimed the wii to actually be).

if nintendo simply made the iFAD "optional" and offered every game to play with a normal controller, but use the iFAD if someone else wants to use the TV then yes thats a perfect idea and i would like it, but its not, its iFAD is a forced primary wii-u controller and is pointless, touch screen doesnt offer anything really innovative in games, other than maps or tap to select a item (which these days can be done by tapping a button).

but then comes down to its games, are nintendo going to only release recylced mario/zelda games, is the wii u going to get these inferior last gen games ported (the great games nintendo should have had in the first place) and the way too many childeren games and leaving a small handfull of great games for adult gamers....

ill again say ill wait till its out, ill give it a year or two before ever buying another nintendo system the GC, DS, Wii and 3DS i purchased at launch to find (not the GC as such i have a very tiny collection of games worth keeping) because they allways lack the excellent 3rd party games and is allways aimed more for kids.

not always, sometimes i just delete his fanboy crap since if he isnt responding to someone (not only me) he just spouts meaningless drivel and many times if i'm not around he will just as easily find someone else to complain about, in fact in one recent thread i kept out of it and he was doing exactly the same crap with 3 other people, hes a one man sony fanboy army and will attack anyone who happens to like something on a nintendo platform the problem is that rather than trying to give sensible arguments about things you could pretty much make a cut / paste of many of his replies and put them in any of his posts as you'll see by his response to you yourself do remember that diztructor has been permbanned multiple times and just signs back up again under a new name and continues to post the same crap, the very definition of a troll, frankly its easier to just let him rant with this id as then everyone else can just put him on their ignore list so they dont see his posts at all, sadly as a mod i dont have that option, if i did i would.

ON TOPIC and of a lot more concern was a statement by one of the heads of the devs working on darksiders saying that the wii u was comparable to the ps3 / 360, although other companies have stated otherwise if this guy doesnt turn out to be retroboy / diztructors long lost cousin then that would be very worrying for nintendo.

lol yup to you its fanboy crap because your constantly one sided, all you do is moan about things and will never see the other point of view, this is what you see me stating.

you BS about sony/ms which is your stupidity of lack of understanding when they said the system will be hd and support resolutions, your deaf fanboy ears read them saying everything will be full hd.

end of the day pal, you assume the wii u is going to be far superior over it been full 1080p, which no it isnt, its going to look slightly better due to its better specs, your also likely to find that youll get wii u games running in 720 but then will you b1tch like you are now towards sony n ms??

i simply point out that nintendo fanboys like you, constantly change your song, back with the GC you stated the GC for better graphics, then came the wii graphics arent important yet now seems to be the case wii u will have better graphics.

if you stop been a one sided fanboy, and be a normal person and accept the fact your views are not 100% correct, fact with your sony fanboy remark... erm i play my 360 more than my ps3 so clearly proves you wrong here, ohh wait im a sony fanboy because i can see reason to why sony block hackers, yet your one sided world, they have no right to.

again like i say im 99.9% i know you, if not i know someone exactly like you and all you did on FB is criticise and b1tch and complain over sweet f.a

but to further more prove your BS fanboyism is that you slate sony/ms that actually offer hd reolutions yet love the wii when you use a sh1tty upscaller that no matter what you say (like you insist for the vita) IS NOT HD.... END OF STORY and fovor nintendo this so called inovative console that you insist yet its the last out of the 3 systems to even offer HD, regardless of how you look at it, nintendo is allways one step behind, all nintendo do these days is offer fancy gimmicks on its consoles and forget about its games, the gc nintendo admitted lacked 3rd party support, the wii is almost the same, the 3ds nintendo "claim" theyre holding back on these so called great games, so why should i be happy with buying a nintendo system that fails to offer what i want because nintendo wont allow the games??

[billysastard]

well i can put your little mind to rest on one point, i dont have a facebook account.

[Diztructor]

well i can put your little mind to rest on one point, i dont have a facebook account.

ok lol well like i said it was either you or maybe theres someone else who is identical to you, shares the same exact views on everything, but what made me tweek was that you also say you have a wii that upscales arround the same time this other guy says, 1+2 = lol

Games designed for multiple platforms are always going to seem the same in general even when one is significantly more powerfull (look how far ahead of consoles the PC was with crysis 4 years ago, even the console version look like the lowest setting PC versions from), PC games have been held back for years due to the PS3 and 360, but hey still manage to look much better in most cases due to higher res, better textures and improved filtering to sharpen and clean up the image, it all makes a hell of a difference even if it doesn't sound like it on paper, thats why PC versions are frequently refered to as being visually superior, and the Wii U will be able to use those improved PC assets.

As for the pad controller ont he Wii U, expect MS to copy it much as Sony already have. Look at it as an an extra optional control system, it allows for many more buttons to be avialable, mouse like control, as well as an aditional info screen and the other options shown already. You need to think of all the possibel uses and not just what has been shown as you can guarantee there are those who will try to do more with it. look at the fella who is doing real time 3 mapping of video using the kinect, who would have thought that would have been a possible use when it was only ever pushed as a motion controller. Even better look online for Wii head tracking, it's what made me realise that static 3D is a pathetic wannabe by comparisson. The Wii U controller will likley set standards and those will push things inthe future much like has happened with the Wii controller, don't be so narrow minded and look at the potential not the limited scope shown by Nintendo (like most companies they try not to claim to much as it may not get delivered).

The Wii U controller will likley set standards and those will push things inthe future much like has happened with the Wii controller, don't be so narrow minded and look at the potential not the limited scope shown by Nintendo (like most companies they try not to claim to much as it may not get delivered).

what like when sony first did eye toy, then because they added the wand its copying, erm no offence but i think if sony did motion controll first on the PS2 then adapt its concept on the PS3 its not exactly copying is it.

i could have thought of all the possible usages on the Wii, all the things nintendo said it would do, yet when using it and playing with it, it was dead, shake/click a button, it never represented your actions in the game like nintendo said.

the wii u controller wont push anything, it will just stay the same as the DS has all these years, you think devs will make more use of a touch screen on the wii u, yet failed to do so with the DS???

so id try look at potential, but im blinded by what im actually seeing it been used, i see its games, i see nintendo, i get bored of whats actually happening and dont hold onto a pipe dream of so called potential.

if it dont offer what i want, im not going to like it, but im not going to make it sound something it clearly isnt and then like billy rant cr@p about it been a better system just because it supports 1080p and make out the 360/ps3 cant when it can, i understood when they said it will support HD resolutions, not mis interpret it as them saying everything will be full HD.

but like i keep saying, i will wait at least 2 - 3 years before considering buying another nintendo console, i can predict its first year will have so called "inferior" last gen game ports.... the games ive already got and compleated, i could then predict its 2nd year may have one or two great games.... the rest been typical mario/zelda recycleware games and from my past record with nintendo come the 3rd year it will just be littered with poor games and MS/SONY will be the systems that are getting the great games (that nintendo will likely get on its next system just like the wii u is)

well for what its worth those last gen ports that you have already got and completed dont include assassins creed 3 which launches on pc, wii u, ps3 and 360 on oct 31st, but yes, battlefield 3, aliens cm, batman AC and a few others will be old titles, think of them like those "wonderful" hd remakes like metal gear collection, silent hill collection etc, just treat them as refresh / updates and ignore them if they hold no interest (i may go for batman AC if its complete on the wii u and colonial marines if it turns out to be any good but yes i'll be looking for new titles or new sequels rather than hd rehashes since a good game really doesnt need a remake.

HD rehashes, which whats that on the wii u, when its erm inferior console ports, even tho most of them are 1080p, hence my point its not going to look that much better on the wii u, im still amazed that i seem to be the only one that rememebes that the wii u is on par with the 360/ps3, which is exactly what they did with the wii, it was on par with the last gen systems.... and adding a ifad controller, is it really going to make anything better, didnt nintendo try with the wiimote? yet its the wii u thats getting old games ported to it.

so is it a bad assumption to yet again assume that the same that happened on the cube, and the wii will happen on the wii u?? as i cant see it having a iFAD is going to change this when its nintendo/devs that dont release these great games on its system, instead it gets all that litter instead.

actually if you knew how the Wii worked you would see it was copying and the eyetoy was just a copy of the dreamcast camera. The Wii uses a far more effective methodin that it uses 2 lights to alow for for more effective calibration, and having each controller contain it's own camera, but the priciple is the same, and the PS3 mothion control is somthing of a blatant copy, if a sloppy one. Just to explain if you didn't know, both have the motion control gizmos to track the motion of the controller in 3D space, and both use a camera tracking a light to detect gesture movement, the differenc eis the wii did it first and th PS3 copied it, the hardware it's self is less important than the implimentation.

I think the odds are squarely in the favour of nintendo as they have pretty much set standards with all thir controllers, except the GC one which was strangely a step backwards for them, so such a novel approach (even tho it has since been copied by Sony, tho the Wii-U menthod will be a packaged one not an expensive addon) if the Wii-U is successfull will very likley set standards that will be copied by Sony and MS inthe future.
