Interest in Darksiders 3 Measured by Darksiders 2 Remaster, Dev Says

'Deathinitive' is simultaneously the greatest and worst thing ever named.

DS, DS2. These games were absolutely amazing. Even the ds2 remaster runs beautifully and flawlessly on my rig. Too bad so many are having issues. Patch will come. Hang tight. Loved the game play, story line, and art style sooo much!

Cant wait for a 3rd! Who will be the hero tho? hmmmmm

If you do release a Darksiders 3, please use Darksiders 1 as a starting point instead of 2...we have enough loot fest games, all I want is another awesome Zelda clone like the first one was.

The video hangs up for me 12 seconds in. What's up?

Why buy the franchise if you only plan on making a 3rd if the HD remaster sells better but it wont because it's a mess and it's broken.

As long as Joe Mad is still the director that's cool.

Really unfair. You made a shit remaster. Below 30fps and full of glitches.

Well, duh, but this is a poor way to go about it. I liked the game and all but it wasn't THAT great.

What we really need is a 4-player co-op game with badass boss battles, four-player puzzles, and a generous loot system.

Dear Nordic Games, Stop basing interest in a new installment DarkSiders off of how well remasters of games we've already played do. There are plenty of us who'd like to see DarkSiders 3, but have no interest in buying games we've already played or still own. I've never understood the logic behind why companies do this. Reminds me of the idiotic reason we will never get a new Darkstalkers game.... because Capcom felt that Resurrection didn't sell well enough. LOL, no shit, Capcom! Fighting games are a niche genre for one, and any Darkstalkers fan has already played the ever living hell out of those games over the years!

Forget the remaster of the original Darksiders. Get on with Darksiders 3.

They make a remaster yet they are not even able to do it with 60 FPS. How sad.

The things it says in the title weren't actually addressed in the article, or in the source...

"Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition was just the start. Since we acquired the franchise we were looking for options for doing a DS3. The remaster was just a way to get some spotlight on the franchise again, reactivate the community and have a better starting position for DS3."

Why did Darksiders 2 require a remaster? It came out in 2012... That's only 3 years; I mean, really?

stupid..... I'm very interested in DarkSiders 3.... but I'm not buying the Remaster... as I already own DS2 on PC

Not for nothing but if you own both Darksiders games the "redux" entry is only $6 on Steam. Now, here's a history lesson for those that don't know/don't care/don't remember. Darksiders 2 on PC was released at only 720p (even with a 1080 monitor it just blew up the image) and the gameplay was limited to 30fps. The port, in all good honesty, was NOT a good port. The game rocked and was a fantastic game but it did have its bugs. Now, the "Deathfinitive" Edition is here and it runs like a freaking beast. It's a full 1080 HD visuals, as should have been originally AND runs at 60fps and has a plethera of bug fixes. If you never owned the original D2 then by all means pick up the "redux". It's worth it. It also includes all the previous DLC released on STeam as well, so, there's that.

I really hope they get to make a new DS game. I feel like they should have remastered both games and released them as a collection.

Well that is a terrible title and straight up wrong.

Many people who played the original won't play the remake because they've already played it. Especially in an action game because the gameplay and combat is the most important thing not the resolution.

Oh, bravo, good for you! Is that how it works? I've paid for both previous games and I don't need to pay again for a slight texture upgrade, you know, stuff that's supposed to be free. If that's the only way to play another Darksiders, then you can suck a duck for all I care.

That's actually not what he said, terrible clickbait.

Crowdfunding maybe

Crazy!! Why the hell did they not just pull out all the stops and make a fantastic entry into the Darksiders series? Makes it look like a giant waste of cash when they go out and buy the series and then sit there and say that there will only be a sequel if an remaster of an older game sells?!!

Yeah, because the people that originally purchased DS2 wouldn't be interested in a sequel at all.

So releasing a terrible port is a way to gauge interest in a sequel?

I just hope that Darksiders 3 isn't as bad as 2.

Thank god they released a broken mess of this on PC to get as many people to buy it... This is just stupid idea, they did the same with Zone of the Enders and the HD remakes didn't do that well, partly because they were a mess on consoles at launch, and still is on 360 running at horrible framerates when even PS2 version was at 60fps. It's like they're trying to sabotage their own franchises for some reason

That's tight trying to force fans into buying a remaster with a vague threat if it doesn't sell they wont make another.

Nooooo.......... that's a terrible idea, i still own both games and my PS3 so I'm not going to rebuy it (i can't be the only one in this position right?)

Captain obvious, why release a game that is old to new consoles without any reason?

no more remasters, just for like a year- TRY and have some original thought when it comes to gaming.
