damn and I can't watch it right now, this year is delivering in spades

 

[adamsapple]

Finally !

 

[Fbh]

Weird, I could have sworn they had already announced this.

Either way, cool.
Also can we now get a 60fps patch for DS3 on Ps5 please?

 

[Killer8]

Read the thread title as Darkstalkers 4.

Now I am sad and feeding Morrigan image data into an NSFW AI generator...

 

[R6Rider]

I was just recently playing through the first game again.

You're not the only one. I thought a new one had been announced a while back already, quite odd.

Mandela effect?

Right?!? I could have sworn they did. Pretty rad that we get to play as all four horsemen this time around.

I had to look it up.
They had announced a new "untitled Darksiders" project last year:


This is basically just the confirmation that it's Darksiders 4, which is what everyone already assumed anyway.
Given the context, I kinda wish they had a bit more to show than another CG teaser.

They released a vague teaser last year's August, didn't give it a name or plot.

Now we know it's a sequel and continuing from the first game, so there's no risk of it being another prequel or side story.

Not really anything to see yet, it's like a 30 seconds CGI teaser. Seems like a long ways off still.

Oh, thanks, I can be patient now lol

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Wait? Which horseman that didn't get its own game?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Strife, but you can play as him in Darksiders Genesis

 

[Mr Hyde]

Great news! Now I need to replay the first one because I've forgotten most of it, including the ending. Also got Darksiders 3 on the backburner.

 

[tragic]

=O

YO!!!!!!!!! It was Darkstalkers 4 LOL!!! I read your post and was like, "what does he mean he's now sad". I had to read the thread title 3 extra times to understand it WASN'T Darkstalkers 4.

 

[adamsapple]

Strife, but you can play as him in Darksiders Genesis

Yes.

They kinda lucked into a very long, convoluted, thing here where they just announced the other horsemen at the end of the first game and then all of them got their own playable games over the decade and *now* they're all coming together, lol.

 

[Zuzu]

I enjoyed Darksiders 1 a lot back on the PS3 I think it was. Also I bought Darksiders 3 just a few hours ago.

 

[GrayDock]

I just can't believe.... Please be good.

 

[March Climber]

Does this retcon 2, 3, and Genesis? Or is the implication that 1 took place after all of those games?

 

[diffusionx]

I did not see this one coming

 

[kruis]

Hope it's not just the direct sequel to DS1, but it also plays like the first game. I loved the genre mixup between Zelda and God of War.

 

[sono]

Oh yes

Please be great

 

[spons]

Yahtzee once made a joke about Strife being the horseman giving people anxiety disorders, but I don't care. The entire series is great slop I enjoy very much.

 

[PeteBull]

Manly masculine gritty protag from first darksiders?

 

[R3TRO]

Thq Nordic...Does that mean it'll be a budget looking game.

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

I read "Darkstalkers" and got really excited.

Too much reading about Capcom lately.

 

[Stafford]

Excited, but also skeptical a little, because while I did only 3, it wasn't the greatness of 1 and 2 and that studio sadly is gone too.

 

[adamsapple]

They're all prequels. Darksiders 3 is taking place along with the first game for some of its part, but this is the first time they're continuing the story after DS1.

 

[Durin]

Thq Nordic...Does that mean it'll be a budget looking game.

If the gameplay is good, and the game runs well...don't care.

 

[R3TRO]

Good for you?...

 

[Fbh]

Well if it uses UE5 (which might be, since 3 was made in UE4) it might look quite good even with a lower budget. It will run like shit though.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Played the 2nd one, and i just can't stand the art style they're going for. It disgusts my eyes.

 

[John Bilbo]

It is happening isn't it

Fucking finally! Let me fuck shit up as war and build on the atmosphere and lore quality of the first and best Darksiders game.

 

[Fake]

Please, be like the first one.

Only using War.

 

[Durin]

Good for you?...

Only saying because higher budget pretty graphics have reliably come with shitty performance this entire gen. It gets tiring.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Getting excited for a mid(except the second one) and dead franchise is interesting to see on gaf, especially considering the publisher. 0 chances this ends up more than average.

Well we can't all work around your bad tastes so ...

 

[March Climber]

All 4 of them are in the teaser. We could theoretically get a game with 4 gameplay styles

• Zelda-like for War
• DMC-like for Death
• Semi-Soulslike for Fury
• ARPG for Strife

 

[The Cockatrice]

Well we can't all work around your bad tastes so ...

Hilarious coming from the guy who "enjoys" every trash coming out of MS's bowels. If you really think the 1st, the third and that top down Darksiders were great, you're just lying. They weren't trash, but they were just average. Anyway hit me up when the game launches and if I'm wrong and it ends up being truly amazing, I'll eat a bag of crows. Until then keep dreaming. Chances are THQ Nordic will cancel that shit.

Funny enough, 2 is my least favorite of the franchise.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yes.

Yeah, two generations later lol crazy!

What's wrong with a series of B-games?

 

[gerth666]

Oh yeah, back of the net

 

[Braag]

Finally, the ending of DS1 was so cool.

 

[adamsapple]

Way too loot-based, the first and third are more traditional character action and puzzle based games which I prefer.

The biggest selling point of the first was that it's the mature Zelda game we never got.

 

[IAmRei]

aaack, i wish there will be death or stryfe
they both are my favorites in this series ( ; __ ; )b
cannot wait for the next announcement
