Darksiders: Wrath of War

[sedition]

Is there any difference between the PS3 and 360 versions? Does the PS3 version have better AI??

I found this:

I dunno where some of the info in this thread is coming from...The video head 2 heads state the 360 version has a better framerate than the PS3 version, not the other way around

"Here's where things get more interesting. There are a handful of noticeable differences between the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Darksiders. While both are good looking games, I can't clearly say one is without a doubt better than the other, and here's why. On Xbox 360, you get more vibrant colors and, in some cases, more detail, which is great considering how much skill Vigil displayed in crafting an cohesive and interesting art style and skillfully applying color to enhance the feel and tone of the world. What's less exciting to hear is that you'll run into framerate issues from time to time and there's quite a bit of screen tearing, even in cases where you're simply walking and keeping the camera still, which can will noticeable and annoying. It's not going to ruin your play experience unless you're ultrasensitive to that kind of thing, but it will stand out.

With the PlayStation 3 version, the amount of screen tearing seems to be noticeably less. It's still present in some capacity, but to less of a degree than with the Xbox 360 version. Unfortunately, this comes along with an experience that isn't quite as smooth[meaning more framerate drops] and a more subdued color palette. If you're playing only on PlayStation 3 this isn't something you're going to notice as much since it's still a fine looking product, but it's more obvious when you put both versions next to each other.

Basically, the Xbox 360 version looks better but has more screen tearing. There also doesn't seem to be an install for the PlayStation 3 version, whereas you can dump the Xbox 360 version onto your hard drive if you've got 6.6 GB of free space.

I say all this just so you know that when I list the Xbox 360 version as being the better one, I'm only doing so because it was prettier. If you detest screen tearing, I'd recommend you stick with the PlayStation 3 version. "


360 version patch:

"The word of mouth surrounding Darksiders has generally been positive, but one issue that's emerged early on is persistent screen tearing in the Xbox 360 version of the game. However, Vigil Games representatives have said that they are aware of the problem, and are working on a fix.
Speaking with IGN, Vigil Games head Joe Madeuira said, "It's something that's really not a difficult fix for

360 version now.. PC version later

you need to switch the lowcart and tall cart around, push it in, and go the the RIGHT side tunnel, up the wall using demon growth.

Thanks. I actually did that, and thats what i meant by i'm at the top now wtf. I didn't realise that i had to go back out the tunnel you originally come in, or else thats a very similar looking tunnel.

This game is awesome

I need two more armor pieces though. And one Legendary item

Everyone is playing this faster than me. I just fought Tiamat last night, despite getting it on Tuesday. I need more hours in my day.

What's the big deal with Tiamat, though? Lock on, grab and toss bomb, take two seconds to manual-aim sweeping cursor past a handy torch, repeat once. I died twice because of screwing around, and then blew through with no problems. I've seen a lot of complaining about this boss but she's pretty easy.

I just picked this up and got about an hour with it before my kid took over the TV. So far I've really like what I've seen.

This isn't going to be another boring shitfest like Okami is it?

[Joust Williams]

No but you might encounter a progression-breaking bug like I did.

I can no long equip a particular item...20 hours down the drain


Almost at the end too

[Cowutopia]

The characters don't speak in animal crossing language do they?

[Error]

No Cow, they speak like Scott Stevens, all devilish and demonic. Rest easy, it's Zelda with a very western slant.

Details, please. I haven't heard of this and would like to avoid it if at all possible. Not throwing away 20+ hours of gaming is worth potential spoilers.
