The original Darksiders was a pretty interesting game. Casting you in the shoes of War, literally one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, you had to find out what had happened to humanity. There was a lot of hitting things with a big sword, a lot of platforming and some pretty cool boss fights.
Now, Darksiders is getting a remaster…excuse me warmaster. Even though that isn’t a word, the game is getting rendering improvements, doubled texture resolutions and better shadow quality. It’ll support 1080p and 60fps on Ps4, Xbox One and PC. If you own a Wii U, it will be at 30 fps, so begin raging in the comments below. Oh, and this remaster (I’m not saying warmaster agai…damnit) of the 2010 original will be available on October 25th. So get ready to get out your giant sword and *sigh* step into the shoes of War.
A few Reddit users have datamined the Overwatch PTR and found some very interesting sound files. They seem to hint at a few new maps and possibly a new game mode, as well as some interesting seasonal things.
Evolve was a good game. The asymmetrical 4 hunters vs 1 monster romp was good fun, provided you had a good team to play with. Shame really that it quickly died out as the player base expected just didn’t come to the game, partially down to Turtle Rock’s DLC program.
However a few days ago the game hit “Stage 2” of it’s ‘evolution’, going free-to-play. The result? A big upsurge in player numbers and seemingly some renewed interest in the game. Going from 157 before the re-launch to 32,000 in a 24-hour peak seems promising for the game.
The re-launch also came with an overhaul to the gameplay, and changes to both the balance and a microtransaction model to fund the game. A further patch is to come as well, as Turtle Rock attempt to maintain the player numbers this time.
Community co-ordinator Cory Lanier wrote in a Reddit thread “We’ve done a lot of gameplay related changes for Stage 2 and that is a big focus for us going forward.” We’ve got a lot of feedback on just general balance stuff that myself and the rest of the balance team are starting to work on for our first update that’ll be hitting next week.
“We’ve got a lot more work to do but it’s great to see so many people coming back and giving things a shot. Hopefully we can keep people around and happy.”
Last year, Bethesda unveiled Fallout 4 at it’s E3 conference. So many were asking, what could they bring to 2016? The answer: A lot.
