I got really bummed when the IP got sold and the people that got it said they had no plans for it.
It won't be the same without Vigil's insane art team.

[QUOTE=Ragekipz;44790246]I got really bummed when the IP got sold and the people that got it said they had no plans for it.[/QUOTE] When did they say this? I remember them saying they couldn't make a game themselves, but they said they had an interest and were looking for someone to make a new game for them.

To that end, the publisher will eventually enter into talks with third-parties; in an earlier report, Wingefors said a top-notch European developer had been in touch regarding Red Faction, and that he’d be interested in talking to Crytek USA, the former Vigil team, about Darksiders. “We’ll be sitting down, I think, in the next week to discuss all those options. It takes a very long time to make games. You won’t see a new Darksiders this year. I don’t believe in bringing out a shitty sequel,” he said.[/quote]
Yes! I want to see what happens with the humans damn it
[QUOTE=Ragekipz;44790246]I got really bummed when the IP got sold and the people that got it said they had no plans for it.[/QUOTE] I miss Red Faction.
We'll see... We'll see. Looking forward to it whenever it comes. I don't necessarily think it's doomed just because the Vigil team isn't involved in it. It's a fantastic series, but it's not like it couldn't be improved. Maybe, possibly, whoever Nordic ends up using to create the next installment brings that new edge to it.
Well I hope that the next one focuses on Fury.
