Darksiders II VS Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition

[BitBytBoy]

I'm currently playing Darksiders II the normal one, and I just saw that a new version is here, I was surprised that there is a remaster one
But i dont get it whats the difference all i could find in google the PS4 version
Can anyone pinpoint me the difference ?

[optimistic realization]

No difference really, the made the game look worse and run worse, that's about it.

Seriuosly !! I still have the original one, i was about to play the DLC
Also original one is 6GB and new one 12GB
Im not sure, currently im downloading DAMN

[optimistic realization]

Look at the reviews, the game is a buggy mess.

The new one has many more textures from the graphics settings beyond 1280*720 (720p).

That alone is a very large chunk of data to be downloaded.

There is no mechanical difference i believe. It is a remastered 1080p Version. The main purpose of it is reviving the DS community and begin making money for DS3 development. At least thats what i think, i might be wrong on that.

I dont care about review like Batman Arkham Knight, review bad but I played the game I didnt get the problem as mentioned.

Hey GamerzZone1987. We did a lot of work on the remaster, and I outlined the engine changes specifically in another thread ("DS2 Engine Changes" - I'm new to this, is there a way to link to a thread).

If you want to ask in there, I'd be happy to answer any questions about the engine, or any other changes we did - design changes, lighting, etc...

The game is alot bigger because the textures are quite a bit bigger, and in any game they account for the majority of the download size.

The origninal darksiders 2 also had 1920x1080 resolution option (so that is not a new thing)
there are none new HD textures in this new version!

Almost every texture has been replaced with a higher rez version - in most case they are double the size. So 512 textures became 1024, and 1024 became 2048. For many of the characters there was even a bigger jump, often going from 512-2048.

It's the lighting I'm enjoying more then anything in the new D.E version

I hope the devs contine to bring out patches though, as I did acctually have a crash on a boss fight earlier, I'll have to report back later and let them know if the problem persists

As for wether its worth the money to upgrade to D.E version is a different subject all together and I'd probably have to play a little more until I could give my opinion on that, I do try to not be as biased as I can but as I got D.E version for free my opinions are bound to be a little biased but overall I'm enjoying the new version dispite the odd hiccup here and there

Ok, I have come to the personal opinion that this new edition runs worse than the old version. The only thing I can tell they did was reduce the color in the game and in order for everything to look "smoother" they removed detail. After playing this game for a short while it honestly hurt my eyes, and going back and playing old version it is still a very enjoyable game.

I first typed a lot more paragraphs but deleted them. Very simple, deleting this version from my hard drive and keeping the old version of the game to play much like I did with the supposed "improved" version of Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Before deleting I also used a utility which smoothed out the stutter in the game and made gameplay smooth, thus not hurting my eyes. But came to conclusion all of this was a waste of time just to play an inferior version of the game.

Like EVERYONE on these forums, this is just my opinion.

I think its going to be a matter of personal preference with the new lighting system. Some people say the new version lost color/constrast and detail but In my opinion it actually looks better. The new lighting system looks more realistic and I can tell they did up the resolution on textures and upped the sharpness as well which is very pleasant to my eyes! lol.

So yeah its gonna be a hit and miss on this one for people.
