Darksiders Warmastered

Campfires and Demons

by

I’m hoping to have this done by the end of May, hopefully. This scene was rendered tonight, and a couple renders more it’ll be done!

While my desktop was busy rendering I gave my Steam Deck some attention by picking up where I left off on last night’s Darksiders Adventure. Upgraded the sword and obtained the scythe, then proceeded to hijack an angel’s ride. I switched back over to desktop after the render finished… cloud saves FTW. I left a note to my future self as a reminder of where to continue next time I play. After two nights of grinding this one I’ll move to another game… maybe something slightly less hellish.

Party Like It’s The Apocalypse

I keep telling myself that I’ll beat Darksiders one of these days, and thanks to Cloud Saves and the Steam Deck I’m hoping to make that happen. For the most part I remembered how to play, despite the long lapse since my last session. I did see some higher res textures on the Nexus Mods site, might consider adding those for next time I play in 4K.

I will say though; Every time I’ve played this I keep finding new things at the start. It’s like each time I play I get more adventurous.. might even play more of this tomorrow night after some animation, which btw… got a lot done tonight. 😉

Revisiting Darksiders after the patch

The other day I wrote about my experience with the Darksiders Remaster, and at the time I wasn’t impressed with the framerate and the audio latency. I’m proud to say that performance has increased substantially. I haven’t dipped under 100 once! Plus the cutscene audio syncing is fixed as well. The developers were quite speedy in addressing and fixing the issue. I wish more devs would do this with their games instead of going the ‘we’ll see’ route, or giving up entirely on one side, or in some cases both. With a bunch of disappointing releases from either indie to AAA title it’s been rather depressing. I really miss the days when games were GPU agnostic, as long as you had a proper GPU from any company you were fine.

There really isn’t much else to say about the game. I didn’t play much of the original, I just know from what little I’ve played of the first one and what I’ve played of the second one thus far, the graphics are a nice improvement. I do like the general feel of the gameplay, might have to install it on my laptop for lunch time. Perhaps do a lunch vlog of it at some point too. It could alleviate copious amounts of stress. 😛
