You’ll know the AMD performance is fixed when this opening section runs above 20fps.īasically, Kaiko still have a bit of work to do on this one. At present the game has an FPS cap of 100, but it sounds like that’ll actually be removed in due course. Even people with 950s have chimed in to say it’ll hold 60fps at 1080p. In contrast, if you have an Nvidia card, it seems like you should be perfectly fine. There’s a lengthy Steam thread about the issue, featuring all manner of AMD GPU models experiencing varying degrees of woe.

It seemed to occur during combat for the most part, and while ‘unplayable’ gets thrown around far too often by PC players, it certainly wasn’t pleasant. I was running Darksiders Warmastered Edition on an i5-6600 / 16GB RAM / 4GB 380X /Windows 10 machine, and frequently had the frame-rate plummeting into the 30s from the upper 90s. As you may already have heard, the frame-rate drops on AMD hardware are a little ridiculous right now. Their main concern, though, should be performance on AMD GPUs. The audio appears fine when actually in-game, and moving the ‘Video’ audio slider around doesn’t fix this, so that’s another thing to add to Kaiko’s list of things to solve in an upcoming patch. Unfortunately, there’s also a substantial audio problem with the cut-scenes, resulting in all sound besides voices being almost entirely silent. The cut-scenes appear to be rendered at their original rates, and have black bars framing them.

Warmastered Edition is double the download size of the original (20GB rather than 10), due, presumably, to the inclusion of higher quality textures. The heart of Darksiders is still here, ie: whacking demons with a big sword. That’s not exactly straightforward in the middle of a fight, and remapping doesn’t really help here because no matter what you’re going to have to hold down and press an additional key (while simultaneously maneuvering War around).

To activate one of your four assigned powers in combat, you have to hold capslock and then press 1-4. The method for selecting and using abilities isn’t great by default on keyboard either.

No sure why that would be the case, but it does slightly limit your choices. I wasn’t able to reassign ` to anything else, and other punctuation-type keys (I tried ‘ and for example) didn’t seem to want to work as input options either. If the default keys aren’t to your liking, you can remap them to some extent.įor some reason the default ` key for summoning Mark Hamill’s cheeky-chappy Watcher didn’t actually work in-game, so I had to change it to something else. As mentioned, the mouse control over the camera seems suitably smooth, and there are obvious benefits to aiming. The couple of hours I’ve put into the game have all been on keys and mouse.

There’s something very old school and ‘no frills’ about the typeface used on this menu.
Darksiders warmastered update#
Update 2 December: A pair of patches have been released for Darksiders Warmastered Edition (see updates at foot of the article), which addressed many of the launch day issues raised in this overview. For those who didn’t own the original, though, here’s a look at what this remaster brings. That was awfully reasonable of them, and if you’re one of those people you have little to lose in giving it a try for yourself.

Just let me have this one Star Trek joke, alright?Īnyway, in a gesture of goodwill towards all mortal souls, Nordic have given away the Warmastered Edition for free to existing owners of Darksiders on Steam. Yes, I know, that character was actually called Keiko. Which explains what she was up to during all of those Deep Space Nine episodes “visiting her mother”. The Darksiders property is now owned by Nordic Games, and this particular edition was developed by Kaiko. Not only is the original publisher (THQ) dead and bankrupt, the original developers (Vigil Games) are gone too. Darksiders Warmastered Edition (which the Spaced fan in me really wants to call the War Bastard Edition) is, in some ways, an unlikely renovation of the 2010 original.
