it would look too much like diablo 4 if they did iv

>>717166719 (OP)
I won't get excited until I see gameplay, but 3 was great, so I am optimistic.

>>717166786
>IV

They're using IIII instead of IV to reinforce the concept of playing as 4 different characters...
Probably

shit clock

>>717166719 (OP)
Sigh another boring boomer slop

Well, I guess I should play 3 and Genesis now after all with 4 coming out. Hopefully 4 is a proper hack and slash action game like 1 and 2.

>>717166719 (OP)
>>717166995
The Romans used IIII instead of IV. So technically, it's historically accurate and accepted.

>>717169501
It's dumb.
Should've gone with D4RKSIDERS

>More coop slop
>probably slopsouls too
I hope im wrong since i like the first 2, but im not holding my breath

poop>1>>>>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2

>>717169759
2 rocks and is the best

>>717169848
I genuinely can't understand how someone could think this. The RPG shit is completely worthless and the combat feels like shit compared to 1.

>>717169897
You're high, the combat is miles better than 1

>>717166719 (OP)
Americans are so ignorant

>>717168382
>Angloids are illiterate
Say it aint so

>>717170041
I know somethings, combat isn't Souls like it's more akin to 1 and 2. Coop is in but not necessary, you can use all 4 at all times, making combos between them as well.

>>717166995
It's because V is for vagina and tranny devs hate it.

If you are done with the autism.
Should I play 3 or skip to genysis? I liked 1 and 2 but read that 3 is shit.

>>717170494
Maybe a playthrough with one of the sexy outfit mods

>>717170494
3 isn't necessarily shit, it's just more of a soulslike which is different from what 1 and 2 were. If you like soulslikes I'd say play it

>>717170705
>>717170885
Sounds good to at least get the story. Any recommendations for the mods?

>>717170957
there were only like 3 outfit mods on nexusmods that time, i don't know if they are even still there.

I hope it has a hype intro like Darksiders 2:

>>717171221
Death was pure unfiltered kino.

https://youtu.be/RqsKv1JBx98?t=40
Who else soi faced at this part back in the day?

Been trying to replay Darksiders 2 since the announcement.
It's uh, not aged well.

Is there a name for franchises like this that are a bit mid but also soulful?

>>717169501
>some illiterate retards used that so
so if you use it now you're also an illiterate retard

>>717171419
THQ was in a shit state at the time so the game is a huge mess but parts of it are good. The voice acting and music are top tier and the environments look cool.

>>717166995
This. It seems extremely obvious this is the intention. I dunno why people are being so retarded about it.

>>717168027
>knowing how to write roman numerals is le reddit
is this what we've come to?

>>717171375
I think the devs are missing out if they don't double down on this in 4. Have a section where whoever you play as has to fight the other 3 Horsemen. You could even make it a "all in your head" type thing if they don't want an actual conflict between them. Just for gameplay reasons it would be cool to fight the other horsemen.

>>717171504
>>717171419
How so? The only qualm I have with 2 is the memory leak issue in the arena that makes it almost impossible to finish on the pc version.
>>717171568
You seem to forget that everything I don't like is reddit/Indian/tranny

>>717171419
I can't be bothered. Death is the better MC but I don't care about for the parkour and loot enough to work through the bugs and crashes.

>>717171568
Nigga IIII is perfectly correct.

Please god no loot shit in this game. It was so tedious in 2. I just want the Horsemen to have their own predefined weapons. War with his Sword and Death with Scythes and Fury with Whip and Strife with guns or something along these lines. I do not want to be picked up level 22 sword of poison damage type bullshit.

>>717171683
I dont hate 2 or anything but the loot shit was very annoying and tedious and the game was very bloated and dragged on too long. Its still pretty good overall.

>>717171837
If they are smart they'd copy Genesis. Airship has already laid the groundwork for a multi-horseman/co-op game.

>>717171760
yes. on clocks.

>>717166719 (OP)
they didnt want to confuse the american audience
>wtf is Darksiders EYE VEE???

>>717171959
I didn't play Genesis. Did it have diablo/destiny loot bullshit like 2?

>>717172054
No. It did have creature cores which was more of a perk or rune system.

>>717171837
It's being made by Gunfire
So likely you'll in single player you'll have a set kit for each horseman and there might be character swapping involved to solve puzzles. Say for example, Fury uses her whip to cross large gaps if she's not keeping her Hollow gimmick from 3. Strife's the one who actually gets to shoot shit.

I wonder if they will have AI control the other 3 Horsemen in single player or if it will just be you by yourself as whichever one you picked.

I don't trust embracer to give this game the budget it needs.

it better be a soulslike

Does this mean War has to give his siblings their weapons back for the fourth game?

>>717171419
I replay it periodically and it's totally fine

>>717172647
Supposedly when the Seal is broken the horsemen are spawned as they were. Besides the weapons, they'll probably use that to handwave how Death's mask and Fury's horse are back.

>>717172601
No point doing that when they have the Remnant/Ashes series now.

I didnt play Remnant. Give qrd on how it will apply to Darksiders.

>>717173246
souls with guns, i.e. basically Strife's game.

>>717166786
DIV BAD

>>717169695
Coop games are always better than single player games.

It being a coop game makes me think its not going to have any proper puzzles as how are they going to do that in a 4 player coop game? Its probably going to be very combat focused. Just going from room to room essentially.

>>717171375
>Dude continuousoy dodges wrong and gets hammered
>Has an mmo tier healthbar so it doesn't matter
Difficulty modes were a mistake

>>717173675
They've already done puzzles in Genesis and there were a lot of them. It's made Lost Viking or Trine style, most of the puzzles require abilities of 1 character and when they solve it, they can unlock the path for the other character to pass.

i thought Darksiders died after 2?

>>717174123
Remnant 2 has a fuckton of puzzles, you can bet Darksiders 4 will have as well.

>>717174123
oh ok. Well if its like Trine that's good. I liked the puzzles in those games. I haven't played Genesis or Remnant 1/2.

>>717174443
>Remnant 2 has a fuckton of puzzles
what kind of puzzles? Zelda puzzles like Darksiders 1?

>>717174207
No, Vigil Games died after 2
Ex-devs just split into two different teams

>>717166719 (OP)
if it had the same character swap (and all 4 units on the field) as x-men legends, but played like a darksiders game, would it work?

Is 3 actually worth playing?

>>717171419
>It's uh, not aged well.
How? It's modern in pretty much every way

>>717174207
You missed 2 whole games

>>717174921
There's basic environmental puzzles, and there's a LOT of very cryptic quests that want you to get items from a certain world and bring it back to a different world/interact with a specific NPC, some of them are absurdly intricate and you would never figure them out without a guide, and some are completely dependent on RNG (for example, two of the worlds have to roll a specific seed in the same run or the quest is not completable)

>>717175228
Yeah if you liked the others. It's nothing special but none of the games are.

I just hope Death is both as funny and cool as he was in DS2. The writers have got some big shoes to fill

>No, this visit is... unsanctioned.
>In fact... nobody knows you're here.
>"Not a soul. Now hand over the key, it can be our little secret."

>>717177786
They wont get that actor back so wont be able to make death as good as he was in 2.

>>717177926
How are you so sure? I mean yeah it's not guaranteed, but if War VA is back, why not Death?

>>717178182
he's like 70 and he's a mainstream movie actor not a voice actor like wars voice.

>>717178182
he had a different voice in darksiders 3 but War was voiced by the same guy from darksiders 1.

>>717168139
>>717168252
Most people have no idea IIII was also used by ancient Romans.

>>717178182
I thought the War line from the trailer was just reused audio from the first game

>>717178368
Death had like one line of dialogue in 3. Its not worth paying Michael Wincott for that

>>717178468
I doubt they'd re-use Liam O'briens audio if he wasn't coming back for 4. This game has been in development for at least a year at this point, they have their VAs

>>717178645
True and I did forget that War has been voiced by him in every game so he’s most likely in it

>>717166719 (OP)
One thing I'm mildly concerned about is how much of the Horsemen's abilities and toolkits are going to be in DS4 and how they're going to pace out new stuff for all four Horsemen.

Anyone have the announcement thread? Always fun to read /v/'s reaction

>>717180096
The DS4 teaser was 10s at the very end, so it wasn't too interesting.

>>717180096
There was a dedicated hype thread after where an anon wrote wow all 13 darksiders fans will be happy and it got about 50+ replies

>>717172461
>embracer
Oh... oh no
Did we already lose Darksidersbros?

>>717166719 (OP)
God, I really hope I don't have to babysit AI partners if I play this solo.

Anyone else doing a series replay?

>>717179751
I highly doubt that Death and War will be as fleshed out as they are in 1 and 2 since all four are playable now.
I hope there is some sort of instant character switch mechanic you can do mid-combo to make up for a simpler moveset for each horseman.

>>717181712
I will be. It’s been so long I can’t remember anything

>>717166904
>Diablo invented IV

>>717181712
Will do one soon, I completed ds1 and 2 more than a decade ago so I was planning to replay them on deck, I never played ds3 nor genesis so it's a good moment for that too

>>717181712
probably closer to the actual release of Darksiders 4, we only really have a cinematic trailer, could be 5 years until actual release

>>717183018
I played them all recently on my deck. Was very comfy and they ran well

>>717173516
No

>>717181712
I will when they announce the release date for IIII.
>>717179751
Toolkits will most certainly be shrunk, but that will help differentiate the horsemen, so I don't mind. Now what I'd like is if they all had their abyssal armor from the start, but that's probably gonna be cosmetic DLC if we're being real

At least one of them must be sphinx sequel, r-right?

I liked 3

>>717185290
It’s perfectly average and enjoyable like the rest. There isn’t a bad darksiders game

Man I wish I could have finished Genesis, cuz I really enjoyed the gameplay overall. But the abundance of puzzles and reliance of the AI for puzzles killed it for me. Hopefully DS4 won't have puzzles where you need to use your AI controlled companions.

i just finish playing 3 again since the release so many years ago, and started playing genesis.
is really amazing how is easil you can tell that darksiders 3 visual design is made by someone trying to copy joe mad. genesis has so much more soul. that said, i think 3 is still an ok game thats worth a playtrough

Will the Horsemen be...better men?

>>717166719 (OP)
what if

each horseman is playable

war , death and fury play exactly like they did in their respektive games

dunno what they would do for strife though

>>717187891
He'd play like in Genesis.

>>717187949
wasn´t that a twin stick shooter ?

sounds like he´d be relegated to basicly minigame content

>>717187891
Probably similar to red hood from the Arkham games. Melee combat with gun finishers

>>717187891
The only multiplayer game I can recall where something like this was the case is Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
It's kinda hard to keep their gameplay as it is when
>War had three specific weapons (each can be enchanted) + artifacts + general skill tree
>Death had three types of weapons (equipment had Diablo-like stats instead of unique abilities) and trinkets + two skill trees to choose from + puzzle-related abilities
>Fury had six specific weapons-magics (most of which also acted as abilities) + some upgradable trinkets + general skill tree
>Strife had different types of ammo + artifacts for solving puzzles + general skill tree + entire bead system for improving stats and skills
Even if you use DS1's system as a basis (all weapons are unique, serve for solving puzzles, can be enchanted and can get new combos) you need to deal with Death's lack of unique weapons and Fury's overabundance of unique weapons.

i hope theres only 1 character playable
because i dont trust them to made 4 character playable and make a good combat.

>>717189006
All four have been confirmed playable

>>717189151
then i dont have any hope of the game having good combat. they made the combat of darksiders 3 incredible simple and boring and thats just with 1 character.

>>717189261
There's no way they would make Darksiders 4 and not make all 4 playable, that was the plan from the beginning if you listen to the interviews of the Vigil game devs back in the early 2010s

>>717189576
well yea but thats the problem, thay can barelly handle a game with 1 character.
im specting a shitfest
i hope im wrong because i really like darksiders.

>>717188121
The camera placement may confuse you, but the game is absolutely a Darksiders game through and through.
War controls exactly like he did in Darksiders 1 and Strife feels a bit similar to Dante.
Don't let the isometric perspective fool you.

>>717188121
genesis is more of a darksiders game than 3
specially because it has the art of joemad

>>717171419
combat is fun but the levels are so much worse than the other 2 games

> but 3 was great
3 really undeservedly received too much hate at launch because of "muh yet another soulslop".

>>717190384
I can agree and disagree at the same time
>Makers Realm = 100% perfect, I wish the rest of the game was like that
>Land of the Dead = way too fucking big and barren compared to other realms, but at least there's gorillion side content to do
>Angel Realm = Earth section sucks ass, and... it's way too fucking short, it's just one dungeon and that's it
>Demon Realm = even LESS than Angel one, it's literally one dungeon with Samael and nothing else
If every realm had the same size and amount of content as Makers one (plus there'd be no bugs like it was on release, at least with PS3 version) then the game would be fucking 10/10 in my eyes. Otherwise - yeah, game never recovers after Makers realm and Land of the Dead drags for way too fucking long only for last two realms to be stupidly short in comparison.

>>717172054
That's the thing: pretty much everyone expected Genesis to be some Diablo-esque rougelike game with randomized loot and levels.
In reality, it's more of a standard Darksiders game including puzzles, platforming, War's melee combat, horse riding proper levels, etc. but with a birdseye view perspective.
Strife meanwhile basically plays like a twinstick shooter with light melee and there's also co-op.

>>717191138
i like all of the darksiders games but still think 3 is the lest good of them
for me is ds2-genesis-ds1-ds3

>>717179751
I can expect at least 3 weapons for each character and multiple, multiple abilities.

>>717168382
