THQ still planning Darksiders II as Wii U launch game
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
At last year’s E3, THQ’s Danny Bilson was featured in a Wii U video, and noted that the company was planning on bringing the game to the console at launch.
It doesn’t look like anything has changed since then.
In an interview with Digital Spy, lead designer Hayden Dalton said that Darksiders II will be a launch title for Wii U. A small team is currently working on that version. The controller will be used in a “unique way”.
Dalton said:
“That’s been very interesting to see what those guys are doing, and they’re making efforts to make sure we do use it in more than a slapdash way. It’s basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can’t do on the other consoles.”
Dalton also mentioned that the version Vigil Games had prepared for last year’s E3 allowed players to change equipment in real-time:
“One of the things that we did, when we were originally going to show it off, was that you could equip stuff directly. So, for instance, I could be running along and I could click on another piece and I could put it on as I’m running through the game. That’s huge, it’s not breaking up the game in a way, I’m not going into a menu and assigning it, I’m literally just tapping as I’m playing. We’re not basically heavily changing the core game to support the control system, but the control system will be an enhancement of the core game.”
