Darksiders Lives! New publisher says series isn't dead

Praise the sun!  The publisher who picked up the Darksiders franchise from the THQ auction sale has confirmed that the series isn't dead! There's nothing to show, but it's good to know that we'll be seeing a Darksiders 3 in the future.

In a Facebook post from former series Creative Director Joe Madureira, he answers a series of question and confirms that the Darksider franchise lives on.

Nordic Games(New owners of the franchise) later gave a statement regarding the future of Darksiders to RPS:

“With regards to Darksiders 3: of course we’ve always been busy in the background, talking to a lot of former team members about a continuation of the series, but we are not ready to announce anything officially. Joe Madureira is spot on in saying that DS is not dead and we are committed, though.”

“Before we can say something about the ‘how’ and ‘when’ of publishing/financing the sequel is concerned, we are still busy in properly figuring out the ‘who’ part of this large-scale project. All I can say is that we can and will not settle for second-best solutions in the case of Darksiders.”

Great news considering the Darksiders franchise was in a "wait and see" position for months after it was acquired by Nordic Games.

Last year, THQ declared bankruptcy and had to auction off all their properties to the highest bidder. Darksiders was among the franchises for sale but was not picked up on the first auction event. It was during the second auction sale that Darksiders got a bid from a company, making Nordic Games it's new home.

Since the acquisition, this is the first big news to come out regarding the future of Darksiders.

Ubisoft confirms Watch Dogs resolution and FPS for next gen consoles

Excited for the Watch Dogs release this May 27? Awesome. Getting the next-gen version? Well, you better sit down for this, Ubisoft confirms the resolution and fps for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. 

It was weird enough that no word was given earlier on  the specs with a game already a few weeks away. But Ubisoft has finally confirmed that Watch Dogs will run in 900p on PlayStation 4 and 792p on Xbox One, with both version of the game running at 30 fps.

Is this an issue? Not really, resolution and Frames Per Second is only a small chunk of what makes a game. But when we see advertising seen below, people will start flipping tables. Oh Sony...

But they have taken back their claims of the game running on 60 FPS and on 1080p resolution. With all this confusion to make the game sell, it's about time Ubisoft has given the official word.

Watch Dogs launches on May 27 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC. The Wii U version of the game is still coming but will be released on a later date.

Is it disappointing to see it not run on 60FPS? Will that affect your buying decision? Or the resolution? Sound off on the comments below.

Humble Bundle releasing a new bundle everyday for 14 days

We all know how crazy Humble Bundle is right? The game bundle that allows you to choose how much you would pay for the bundle, all the way down to a measly $1? Well, they are going all out for the rest of May. Ready your wallets, because Humble Bundle will be offering a new bundle everyday for 14 days. Can you resist the urge? 

We thought their Spring Sale was an amazing sale for the Summer, but they really want your money. This bundle is of course for the developers and charity...is it? The first bundle in the Humble Daily Bundle is a re-bundle of Deep Siver's Games. You know, Dead Island, Saint's Row? Those games. If your on the cheap side, you can get 4 games for as low as $1, go a little higher like $6 will add five more games to the bundle, pay more than $9 and you get Dead Island and everything else below. Great stuff. Again, it's for charity, so think about that as we pile up our already crowded backlog.

Check the Humble Daily Bundle here. And if none of the games listed interest you, check back tomorrow or the day before that for a new bundle. Heck, check their Spring Sale at the Humble Store, you might find that game you've always wanted at a discount.

Will and Migoy Play Magus

This is probably a game that none of you guys have even heard about. Here's the story. Will looks at the monthly release list for the podcast and came across a game that he had no knowledge about and didn't know even existed up until he saw it on the list. He then goes to the nearest Datablitz branch and asks about this game called "Magus" and surprisingly enough, they had it in stock. Will asks the clerk if he was the first person to ask about and buy the game which the clerk replied "Yes". So here's our let's play of Magus! A game published by Aksys Games.

Highlights from our first hour of Magus.

Here's the full first hour of the game.

Migoy Plays Dark Souls 2

Here we go. Dark Souls 2. My first entry into the Souls series. I decided to record my first hour into the game while at the same time, livestreaming it on our twitch channel, because of what I've heard regarding the Souls series. With a marketing quote being "GO BEYOND DEATH!", of course I'd be expecting to die a lot.

Here's the highlight reel of my first hour into the game. I won't be doing a Let's Play of this on our youtube channel but I have been playing a lot of it on our livestream channel so follow us there if you want to get notified when we go live.
