Darksiders 2 new info! [one month away from release]

I don't want to be negative here but when GB (a 360 focused site mostly) gets the PS3 review code, you should know the other version might have serious issue.

lol...Like if GB is more "360 focused" than any other sites... The journalists never choose the version they receive, it's up to the publisher to decide. The most common case is for them to send 360 but they do send PS3 builds from time to time.... Doesn't mean anything and people need to stop seeing conspiracies everywhere.
 
Nice listing and images of some of the weapons including possessed over on the main site.

There is no conspiracy talk here, I was just worried,since lack of footage,GB getting a version for a system they don't cover much sounded a bit weird, that all.

No need to hope, they are the lead designer and lead combat designer I'm pretty sure they know where their product stands.

Lets hope the console versions give as free purple kittens then.
 
I wouldn't worry about version differences. The only real "choice" is between console or PC - and that's only because PC performance is only limited by, well, your PC specs. As far as the console versions go, they are both great. I have a very solid PC, a PS3, and an XBOX, and I'll be playing on XBOX. Not for any brand-loyalty or performance issues, but because I got an XBOX first and I like achievements =). Love my PS3, and my PC knocks DS2 out of the park. =)

Sometimes the retail discs finish printing at different times. It could just be that PS3 finished first (mind you, I have no idea) and they wanted to give as much lead time to the reviewers as they could (the game is long!).

You know what? PLAY ALL THE VERSIONS!

I'm more of a dog guy, but I totally wouldn't object to free purple kittens!

I double dipped on the first one when it came out on PC. I had already bought the PS3 version at launch. As much as I would love to throw money at you guys in support of your efforts, I have to stick with just one PC copy this go round. Funds is tight homie! :D
 
Just a question..if there is an XBLA/PSN Darksiders small spin off, do you guys prefer it to be full 2D (something like alttp) or more modern like Bastion?

Men ds1 was a pretty Terrible PC port IMO.
 
Is the USB key just a goodie or is there actually something in there?

There's some general press assets and a digital game guide on there.

But yeah, seems to be random as far as which versions are being sent out. We never specified a platform or anything.

I NEED THOSE!

Also, if review copies are just getting in, we probably won't see reviews until at least a week and a half.
 
The more I see that battle footage, the more I want this.

I can definitely see double-dipping for PS3 and Wii U if this really gets good to me!

Holy crap! Those look friggin' bad-ass! But I'll be honest, I'm going to miss War. Death doesn't seem to talk much, does he?
