IF ANY OF THE DEVELOPERS EVER READ THIS: Please know that while darksiders was not an entirely original idea in gameplay - it was an AMAZING experience. I love these two games, they are among my top games of all time just for there anachronism. I am waiting and was so worried the story wouldnt be continued. Thanks for all the hours spent going through your games time and again - and good luck in the run-up to release of darksiders 3!!
OMG did you see it? Or did you play a game on your new iPhone and pay $$$ for game DLCS so you can LOL at your FB "friends" who put their $$$ into others? Or you just need a cuddle? Ask for that next time. Cut the bullshit. OMG! WHAT? Serious? Effort is.
man its crazy that Darksiders went through such a vast change in just those years of 4 people to like 50 at Vigil. I'm a huge fan of both Darksiders and Joe Mad entirely and my dad even worked on Darksiders 1 he did Environment Art and he talked a lot with Joe Mad about environment art because he was new to it. if anyone wants to know my dad's name its Cliff Young. but I'm glad there's still a group who love Darksiders and Joe Mad like the rest of us.
This is the type of game industry that made me fall in love with gaming. These two titles really didn't get all the attention they deserved. Also, THANKS A LOT for including Jesper Kyd, that soundtrack is almost flawless!
These are one of the most underrated games ever! Art style is sick, combat good and the theme is something different. Great documentary guys! Much respect for picking up this franchise and great people from Vigil and Gunfire. Can not wait for the third part. I have got some concerns about it, but i will buy it anyway just to honor they determination and talent.
This documentary was absolutely INCREDIBLE to watch as a Darksiders fan!!! Congrats to Gameumentary on another engaging and entertaining story and looking forward to more to come!
Dude, this series is the most badass, underrated and dismissed out of hand. I love joe mads style, love the way the team put it in the game. And totally love how much more impressive the 2nd game as a whole. Love you guys at gunfire and wish you all the best with darksiders3
I'm so glad there was a whole segment with Jesper Kyd in this video. Darksiders 2 had one of my favorite soundtracks in a game, and I'm so glad to have seen some behind the scenes on it's making.
We're not very well-known and most of the big name games media doesn't give us any attention! Best way you can help us is by sharing our content wherever you can!
I couldn't help but think the same thing. This is great quality work. Some of the best I've seen on UA-cam. It's truly amazing to me that they don't have that many subscribers. There has to be something I'm missing. Maybe it just has to be about time. They'll definitely get there. It's just too good not to.
nomercy8989 I'd guess it's because they've haven't covered any major well known games. Darksiders and Bioshock are cool but aren't as big as others in their respective genres.
My fav guys in the whole industry, so much passion and dedication. All of Gunfire and Airship Sindycate is just great. Seeing the so down to earth and full of passion Joe Mad , David Adams + the rest was just a great experience, inspirational. Thank you also Gameumentary for this.
Holly Jesus. Just watched with tears in my eyes. Darksiders is my favorite franchise. As a gamer since the atari era, just found in Darksiders all the elements that i love in games... puzzles, exploration, insane combos, fantasy elements, the sick art style, the dark atmosphere, a gorgeous soundtrack (DS 2) etc, etc. Can’t wait for Darksiders 3 and already started dreaming with a fourth game.
Noclip got some competition now! This is high quality stuff man,I'm sure Danny would be proud! Thank you for sharing this story, this series was the first I played after losing my arm and thanks to them adding the ability to remap buttons I was able to play using only a razer naga! Joe Mad has always been one of my fav artists and I had no idea these guys were behind Hunt Showdown! Simply incredibly talented studio that still doesn't get enough credit!
Thanks for watching and sharing your story! We love NoClip's content. Don't see it so much as competition, but just more people creating good games journalism which is why we both started doing this! :D
Meant no disrespect more like omfg more long form videogame docs! I'm so tired of 5 min fluff pieces with no depth and ads that are longer than the meat of the actual content! Totally meant it as a compliment sorry if it came out sounding like a backhanded one! Awesome job yall!
Nice catch! I've had the pleasure of speaking/being interviewed by em lil over a year ago,hoping we can work out something for his project on disabled gaming. Idgaf bout the 15min of fame,I got nothing to sell,just wanna share my joy/passion of games!
When I first played Darksiders in 2010 I was 10.. it’s 2024 and I still have Darksiders 1 and 2 on my latest steam account and I sometimes revisit for sake of nostalgia because it’s one of the games I grew up with. I fell in love with the biblical concept of the stories, the sick artwork the music and the gameplay from the get go. I truly thank the team for the efforts and hard work to create such an amazing game and for giving life to Darksiders we’ve all come to know and love…
To all the people who have worked on these games I think I speak for myself and the community when I say thank you for making such an epic franchise and here's to you all in doing so. And thanks to the recent news regarding Darksiders the fans can once again rejoice knowing there is more to come. They might not all be absolutely perfect games but they are in my heart and mind because you all made it happen. From the voice acting to the environmental and character designs as well as the gripping narrative and soundtrack. Not to sound pressuring but myself and many are anticipating the long awaited final installment of the franchise where we can play as all 4 horsemen with the thrilling and long awaited conclusion we have all been waiting for.
You can tell these guys are smart. Well-spoken and down to earth. This is my favorite franchise and it was very cool to get the inside look at the making of these games. Thank you for making this!!
Honestly, I just started playing Darksiders (II). I saw it on Xbox Game Pass, downloaded it & started playing. I can't get enough of this game and I'm like "how in the world did I miss this??" I've been gaming since the atari and like many others my first memory is being captivated by Pitfall. Anyway, I just started following Darksiders III and can't wait for its release. Seeing as how I've just become immersed in Darksiders, this docu came at the perfect time, which I found out about from your tweet about it. Y'all seem like a great team. Certainly an insanely creative one!!
Watching this documentary was something else. The Darksiders franchise is one of my all time favorite video game series, with DS2 being my favorite and seeing all this background info on how they came to be is really fascinating. The DS franchise is also one of the few singleplayer games that I've played through more than once. Both DS1 and 2 I've beaten twice and I loved each playthrough. I know it probably sounds weird that I don't usually replay games, but that's how I'm like. I sometimes visit older games after years have passed, but that's it. I made an exception for Darksiders because I loved the games so much. The action, the exploration, the dungeons, bosses, puzzles etc... I loved everything about it. Then Darksiders 2 came out and it had everything and more! It added RPG mechanics to the game that I LOVED! I love getting new armor and weapons in games and having that in a Darksiders game was a dream come true. I still remember how I played the first game. I didn't know much about it, but I wanted to play it because it reminded me of devil may cry. Anything with fast combat reminded me of DMC back in the day. I ended up borrowing the game from my brothers friend and the rest is history. Last year I bought a remaster of the first game so I could own it physically and to replay it after a long time. And right now I'm just really looking forward to Darksiders 3, I can't wait to get back into that universe.
Darksiders has been one of my favorite gaming series, right behind the 'Final Fantasy' series. Just can't wait for Darksiders III for the PS4. Looks good.
Great Documentary!! One of my favorite comic book artists!! Definitely one of my favorite game series!!! AND added bonus SHOUT OUT to Jeremy from the 806 for the music direction!!!
@@Ghostrunner91 I feel like the tracks of Genesis are better composed but are a bit more generic. The boss soundtracks are very good, but you could swap some tracks between the bosses and you would not really notice, because they don't really set a specific mood/atmosphere. For me personally the tracks of darksiders 2 have more atmodphere to them.
Bought the first darksiders on 360, loved it, bought it again years later on pc and still loved it, bought the war-mastered edition on ps4 pro and i still love it, Bought darksiders 2 on pc and ps4 later and still think its one of the best action game. Now super excited for darksiders 3.
i always liked how darksiders is a perfect blend of Zelda and god of war , with imo the best art style. now all i want is for these guys to make a warhammer 40k game that plays like dark souls. Imagine how awesome that would be.
I felt like I lived the whole life of other people while watching this documentary. Thank you, I hope one day I can back you up on Patreon. P.S. I'm really happy that developers acknowledged that second game was way too long. My playthrough took ~60 hours and I'd be really a happy person if it took 25-30 hours less. Also, it still feels like a miracle that the third game is in development - I remember feeling pretty sad when I read that Darksiders IP was bought, but not the studio - I honestly thought that they just bought it with no intentions to use it, just because it was cheap. And I was really happy when it turned out that the same people are making the third game. It looks like this whole "thing" has some kind of guardian angel making it work.
That's how we want you to feel while watching our documentaries! We really try to focus on the personal stories over focusing too much on the technical stuff. You should definitely check out our The Deep End Games Documentary if you like that sort of thing!
Jackie Logan 1) I didn't felt like Order was too short. For me, the most ridiculously short big-budget game was the first Homefront - I couldn't believe that it was over when I saw final credits. 2) Some games just overstays their welcome. For me, Darksiders 2 showed almost every gameplay mechanics way too early. Last summer I played Castlevania: Lord of Shadows which has very similar vibe, but I never felt bored while playing it (and I took me ~50 hours to finish it). It just kept delivering new gameplay mechanics, new locations with different settings, puzzles that don't replicate each other, etc. I guess it's not really about longevity, but about keeping it fresh for the whole walkthrough and that I didn't felt with Darksiders 2.
Damien Scott I mean short as in the player does not do much unlike the God of War 3 and Gears of War 3 games that keep players busy and immersed in the story and gameplay
@ Damien Scott Are you kidding? Darksiders 2 wasn't long enough! It was just so good that after finishing it in about 50 hours, All I wanted was for there to be an additional 20 hours or so of story content, along with larger health pools for bosses so I can metagame the various builds...
I love this series. Please do it justice. I know you guys are working hard to make this a quality story with bombastic gameplay. I just want this to do well. It’s a passion of mine, this story. I wish I could contribute to its success personally.
One year later, I absolutely loved Darksiders 3 and can't wait for 4! You guys did an incredible job with this one and maybe you can do another documentary in anticipation for 4 or maybe do one down the line for 5 if everything goes well! Here's looking foward to the future!
Thank god my phone played the entire video with no buffering since it ran out of high speed data. This video is what I needed after being trapped in a hotel for over a week. Thank you guys for making this awesome documentary. And Im so ready for Darksiders 3
Hey thanks for documenting this stuff. We usually don't get to know the inside stories behind our favorite games so something like this is really cool to see.
I thought noclip was the only one doing this stuff. Incredibly impressed that your vids are every bit as good as Danny’s. Will be watching with interest. You deserve far more exposure for this level of production quality.
Thank you! We don’t get a lot of outside attention from the media so it’s been a challenge getting people to notice us! Glad you enjoyed the doc, plenty more on our channel already too :) with more on the way!
id say these 11 times as better but as we know when you multiply negative value by positive value you get even more negative value these are actually good
My mind is blown up, it's so cool to see and hear a story about what I like an even what I love from every shape of my heart. Thank you guys who made this, who were helping do this, and big thanks to men who made not just game, made a legend
Thank you for this awesome documentary guys. Darksiders was one of my favorite franchise of all time and to see it go away was really sad, until now. Can't wait for Darksiders 3!!!
These guys single handedly remembered us, in the middle of a cold generation made of war and muddy colours, first person shooters and racing games, what dreaming means. And gave us the best Zelda of the 7th gen in the process. When THQ went down and nobody bought Vigil my trust in the gaming industry fell to dust, and now, with Nordic in the game and the same guys at Vigil working again on the third chapter, I feel like I'm dreaming. And Madureira is in the team as well. Dear MAD, I still have, since may 1999, the huge Soul Reaver poster you have drawn for PSN. Framed. You have been a huge inspiration during my art school period. Thanks for the memories of the past, for the hopes of the present and for the dreams of the future.
DreadedMisfit Currently on EBay for only $199. Seller has sold a bunch of them. Was originally selling for $600 retail a few years back. Just type in Darksiders statue. I bought one and got it recently. I LOVE it!!!
Darksiders 1 is my favourite game from the 360 era. I'm so happy that I got to play that game. Thanks for the documentary. I feel like as long as they keep releasing Darksiders stuff I keep buying it.
That gigantic Wacom tablet, such desire. Thanks for crunching it paid off. I remember being show the game back in like 2009 and was blown away by the Art style, and to hear Mark Hamil. Great stuff.
Thanks a bunch for this documentary. Working in the industry myself, it was very nice to see how other companies, franchises and just, human beings behind all this work and cooperate together to form huge, massive ideas that become projects and sometimes even Hits, and obviously, all the struggle and hard work involved in everything. I'm so glad they could pull it all off and keep pushing forward to a path to success. I'm awaiting the release of Darksiders 3 with such impatience, and this documentary hyped me even more. Again, thank you.
Thanks for watching it! You should check out our other documentaries as well, lots of different perspectives from both established studios and veterans starting their own companies :D
Vigil games forever!!!!!! Thank you for this AWESOME gameumentary! There are allot of us hardcore fans that will continue too look for anything new on Darksiders!
This was great, thank you! This was very interesting. It's nice seeing them discuss their experiences, even their honest thoughts on Darksiders 2 maybe not being as strong as the first game. I love the Darksiders franchise. I bought both the previous games multiple times and Darksiders 3 will be a day one buy, I can't wait.
I was so excited for this doc and now it's out! I love darksiders and and it's super cool to see a documentary about what went on behind the scenes. DS1 was the game that got me back into gaming after a 3 year hiatus. I remember watching the credits roll in darksiders 1 and immediately getting off the couch, putting my boots on and walking to the store to buy darksiders 2. Thank you Gamuementary for making this badass documentary and thank you to Vigil/Gunfire games for existing and making one of my favourite franchises ever. UNLEASH THE FURY
Yooooooo you guys and all the kickstarters killed it!!!! Your documentary is what level all documentaries should be at. I know it goes both ways so I'm glad how open and willing these old Vigil guys were. But you guys nailed it cuz you gave them that very comfortable vibe. I'm willing to watch and support y'all with videos like these for sure. This is what I want pre launch developer sells to be before release. Not the typical "sell us what they hope the game to be." Not y'alls fault. Just what I'd like to see.
For people asking about the statue, it's currently on EBay for only $199. The seller has sold a bunch of them. Was originally selling for $600 retail a few years back. Just type in Darksiders statue. I bought one and got it recently. His eyes & chest light up and comes with rechargable batteries . I LOVE it!!!
This is pretty great. You can feel the personality of the directors and the love behind the franchise. I personally love the games. Great documentary guys. It takes a lot of hard work and talent to make it happen and you've pulled it off for me.
I like how self aware everyone involved in Darksiders is. Even the composer actually knows about the critical reception, what the fans are saying, etc.
Really high quality stuff here and a very cool dev team. I noticed at roughly the 48:07 min mark that a guy randomly appeared in the background as the dev is talking about Darksiders 2.
I saw this pop up on my feed and instantly clicked it. Had to watch it in portions but goddamn these documentaries are so amazing. I love Darksiders to a fault, so this was a reaaaalllly good vid. I'm so hyped for part 3.
Outstanding job! Never seen a work that gave Darksiders franchise what it deserves before. I hope you make a documentary about the long loved Max Payne franchise.
This documentary was amazing, this franchise is my favorite one and now I love it more, all that team effort and passion can be seen in the games. I'm playing Ds Genesis and it's a beautiful piece of work, different, but interesting too. Darksiders IV is a must, we need a final Hack and Slash chapter lead by Strife.
Loved watching this. Watching in 2024. Just heard that number five is being worked on and that there was a trailer that was released just teasing the fifth game. Can't wait, although now I play on PC. Tired of having to update and buy a new console every time I want to play a Darksiders game. Based on the entire series so far, including the side project that was Genesis, I almost wish they would have held off with death and Darksiders 2. They should have done Genesis second, had strife as the second game character, still do number three in the souls like style, and hold death as the final big one.
Just now watching this in 2021. Darksiders is to this day one of if not my favorite franchise of all time. I even loved 3 despite all the hate it got from some. I keep waiting to hear about a potential 4th one, but I'd even settle for a Remnant 2!

Darksiders don't remind me of Zelda...
It actually reminds of another very old game...

DARKSIDERS 1 WAS EPIC GAME DARKSIDERS 2 WAS GREATNESS OMG STORY WAS SO GOOD
Im still playing Darksiders warmastered edition and it looks great at 2560x1080 :D
Bullshit.
1:12 The dude just checks the tyres for his car, it's either his lunch time, or he didn't give a damn 😂
I felt like I lived the whole life of other people while watching this documentary. Thank you, I hope one day I can back you up on Patreon.
P.S. I'm really happy that developers acknowledged that second game was way too long. My playthrough took ~60 hours and I'd be really a happy person if it took 25-30 hours less. Also, it still feels like a miracle that the third game is in development - I remember feeling pretty sad when I read that Darksiders IP was bought, but not the studio - I honestly thought that they just bought it with no intentions to use it, just because it was cheap. And I was really happy when it turned out that the same people are making the third game. It looks like this whole "thing" has some kind of guardian angel making it work.
That's how we want you to feel while watching our documentaries! We really try to focus on the personal stories over focusing too much on the technical stuff. You should definitely check out our The Deep End Games Documentary if you like that sort of thing!
The game's length keeps players busy cuz short games like The Order: 1886 feels lackluster and a waste of money
Jackie Logan
1) I didn't felt like Order was too short. For me, the most ridiculously short big-budget game was the first Homefront - I couldn't believe that it was over when I saw final credits.
2) Some games just overstays their welcome. For me, Darksiders 2 showed almost every gameplay mechanics way too early. Last summer I played Castlevania: Lord of Shadows which has very similar vibe, but I never felt bored while playing it (and I took me ~50 hours to finish it). It just kept delivering new gameplay mechanics, new locations with different settings, puzzles that don't replicate each other, etc. I guess it's not really about longevity, but about keeping it fresh for the whole walkthrough and that I didn't felt with Darksiders 2.
Damien Scott I mean short as in the player does not do much unlike the God of War 3 and Gears of War 3 games that keep players busy and immersed in the story and gameplay
@ Damien Scott Are you kidding? Darksiders 2 wasn't long enough! It was just so good that after finishing it in about 50 hours, All I wanted was for there to be an additional 20 hours or so of story content, along with larger health pools for bosses so I can metagame the various builds...
I love how this studio manages to put the perfect amount of attention in every aspect of these games, even the story!
I love this series. Please do it justice. I know you guys are working hard to make this a quality story with bombastic gameplay. I just want this to do well. It’s a passion of mine, this story. I wish I could contribute to its success personally.
Looks great guys, well done. Had to watch it all...had a smile on my face the whole time.
thank you for this amazing documentary on one of my favorite game franchises darksiders
One year later, I absolutely loved Darksiders 3 and can't wait for 4! You guys did an incredible job with this one and maybe you can do another documentary in anticipation for 4 or maybe do one down the line for 5 if everything goes well! Here's looking foward to the future!
Darksiders is my favorite game/story series. Needs a movie.
Its ludicrous that this channel is not bigger. 28,000 subs?!? You guys are obviously passionate to be making feature length documentaries. Good stuff
Thank god my phone played the entire video with no buffering since it ran out of high speed data. This video is what I needed after being trapped in a hotel for over a week. Thank you guys for making this awesome documentary. And Im so ready for Darksiders 3
Hey thanks for documenting this stuff. We usually don't get to know the inside stories behind our favorite games so something like this is really cool to see.
Thank you for watching! We've already released quite a few other documentaries as well so be sure to check those out if you like this kinda coverage!
One of the most underrated series ever.
Crazy good documentary!!!
Love the insights on a passionate team of a very good game.
I thought noclip was the only one doing this stuff. Incredibly impressed that your vids are every bit as good as Danny’s. Will be watching with interest. You deserve far more exposure for this level of production quality.
Thank you! We don’t get a lot of outside attention from the media so it’s been a challenge getting people to notice us! Glad you enjoyed the doc, plenty more on our channel already too :) with more on the way!
id say these 11 times as better
but as we know when you multiply negative value by positive value you get even more negative value
these are actually good
My mind is blown up, it's so cool to see and hear a story about what I like an even what I love from every shape of my heart. Thank you guys who made this, who were helping do this, and big thanks to men who made not just game, made a legend
Thank you for this awesome documentary guys. Darksiders was one of my favorite franchise of all time and to see it go away was really sad, until now. Can't wait for Darksiders 3!!!
Darksiders 4 please 🥺❤️ put all 4 horseman together for one last journey
This is fantastic. Thank you for the upload.
These guys single handedly remembered us, in the middle of a cold generation made of war and muddy colours, first person shooters and racing games, what dreaming means.
And gave us the best Zelda of the 7th gen in the process.
When THQ went down and nobody bought Vigil my trust in the gaming industry fell to dust, and now, with Nordic in the game and the same guys at Vigil working again on the third chapter, I feel like I'm dreaming. And Madureira is in the team as well. Dear MAD, I still have, since may 1999, the huge Soul Reaver poster you have drawn for PSN. Framed. You have been a huge inspiration during my art school period. Thanks for the memories of the past, for the hopes of the present and for the dreams of the future.
I loved working with you guys at Realm Interactive! Happy to see this documentary. Keep rocking it!
Thank you so much for this great Gameumentary
Darksiders!!! One of my favorite series ever!!!
I want those Darksiders statues so bad.
DreadedMisfit join the que!
DreadedMisfit Currently on EBay for only $199. Seller has sold a bunch of them. Was originally selling for $600 retail a few years back. Just type in Darksiders statue. I bought one and got it recently. I LOVE it!!!
So many fond memories of my Collectors Edition of Darksiders 2 x3 Thank you!
Darksiders 1 is my favourite game from the 360 era. I'm so happy that I got to play that game. Thanks for the documentary. I feel like as long as they keep releasing Darksiders stuff I keep buying it.
So much passion for their work, this was heartwarming.
That gigantic Wacom tablet, such desire. Thanks for crunching it paid off. I remember being show the game back in like 2009 and was blown away by the Art style, and to hear Mark Hamil. Great stuff.
Love Darksiders, and Joe Mad!
Thanks a bunch for this documentary. Working in the industry myself, it was very nice to see how other companies, franchises and just, human beings behind all this work and cooperate together to form huge, massive ideas that become projects and sometimes even Hits, and obviously, all the struggle and hard work involved in everything. I'm so glad they could pull it all off and keep pushing forward to a path to success. I'm awaiting the release of Darksiders 3 with such impatience, and this documentary hyped me even more.
Again, thank you.
Thanks for watching it! You should check out our other documentaries as well, lots of different perspectives from both established studios and veterans starting their own companies :D
I'm so glad to have followed the journey, and see that Vigil is back on the case for Darksiders 3!
Wooo nice one! Excellent documentary, so happy to hear that Darksiders is alive and kicking. Must finish the story arc!
one of the best games ever made for me, i must have played both of them at least 10 times by now
Fantastic documentary! Thank you for making it. I've been a huge fan of Darksiders right from the first gameplay reveal.
I miss Darksiders so much especially 2
It’s so clear David Adams just wants to make Old West games and I love it.
My favorite game series of all time :)
Jeremiah Locanas hyped for Darksiders 3 and the possibility of Darksiders 4
Jeremiah Locanas 👍👍👍👍👍
Jasper's music in this game is excellent, I still listen to it to this day.
you guys did a magnificent work in both games , pure respect and love for what you done
We missed you guys, excited and happy that you all have your own studio now. Super excited.
Really waiting for Darksiders III. Thank you guys for your dedication.
Vigil games forever!!!!!! Thank you for this AWESOME gameumentary!
There are allot of us hardcore fans that will continue too look for anything new on Darksiders!
One of my favorite franchises. Up there with Zelda, Halo, Metroid Prime. Love it.
This was great, thank you! This was very interesting. It's nice seeing them discuss their experiences, even their honest thoughts on Darksiders 2 maybe not being as strong as the first game.
I love the Darksiders franchise. I bought both the previous games multiple times and Darksiders 3 will be a day one buy, I can't wait.
I was so excited for this doc and now it's out! I love darksiders and and it's super cool to see a documentary about what went on behind the scenes. DS1 was the game that got me back into gaming after a 3 year hiatus. I remember watching the credits roll in darksiders 1 and immediately getting off the couch, putting my boots on and walking to the store to buy darksiders 2.
Thank you Gamuementary for making this badass documentary and thank you to Vigil/Gunfire games for existing and making one of my favourite franchises ever.
UNLEASH THE FURY
Man, I loved these games. Just bought Battlechasers too. Can't wait for Darksiders 3. Glad I came by this channel.
Yooooooo you guys and all the kickstarters killed it!!!! Your documentary is what level all documentaries should be at. I know it goes both ways so I'm glad how open and willing these old Vigil guys were. But you guys nailed it cuz you gave them that very comfortable vibe. I'm willing to watch and support y'all with videos like these for sure.
This is what I want pre launch developer sells to be before release. Not the typical "sell us what they hope the game to be." Not y'alls fault. Just what I'd like to see.
I've never actually gotten to play Darksiders and I desperately need to after watching this. These docs are amazing. Gameumentary you are the best.
For people asking about the statue, it's currently on EBay for only $199. The seller has sold a bunch of them. Was originally selling for $600 retail a few years back. Just type in Darksiders statue. I bought one and got it recently. His eyes & chest light up and comes with rechargable batteries . I LOVE it!!!
This is pretty great. You can feel the personality of the directors and the love behind the franchise. I personally love the games. Great documentary guys. It takes a lot of hard work and talent to make it happen and you've pulled it off for me.
This was an awesome documentary! It was so great to hear the story behind how Darksiders came to be!
I like how self aware everyone involved in Darksiders is. Even the composer actually knows about the critical reception, what the fans are saying, etc.
I love how Joe Mad has the Darksiders sigil on his arm. And he has been showing that sigil off proud and loud. (Smiles)
What an awesome documentary guys, top notch! I love the Darksiders games so freaking much, can't wait for 3 to arrive.
Really high quality stuff here and a very cool dev team.
I noticed at roughly the 48:07 min mark that a guy randomly appeared in the background as the dev is talking about Darksiders 2.
I saw this pop up on my feed and instantly clicked it. Had to watch it in portions but goddamn these documentaries are so amazing. I love Darksiders to a fault, so this was a reaaaalllly good vid. I'm so hyped for part 3.
Thanks for watching! So awesome to see people excited about what we're doing!
Outstanding job! Never seen a work that gave Darksiders franchise what it deserves before.
I hope you make a documentary about the long loved Max Payne franchise.
This was such a treat to watch. Darksiders has a special place in my heart, so this meant a lot to me.
Thank you!
finally a perfect behind the scene interviews .. thank you so much for covering this .it was so emotional and inspiring at the same time
This documentary was amazing, this franchise is my favorite one and now I love it more, all that team effort and passion can be seen in the games. I'm playing Ds Genesis and it's a beautiful piece of work, different, but interesting too. Darksiders IV is a must, we need a final Hack and Slash chapter lead by Strife.
Darksiders 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games. I love the story and the gameplay. cant wait for 3 in November. started 2 again just to refresh a bit.
Loved watching this. Watching in 2024. Just heard that number five is being worked on and that there was a trailer that was released just teasing the fifth game. Can't wait, although now I play on PC. Tired of having to update and buy a new console every time I want to play a Darksiders game. Based on the entire series so far, including the side project that was Genesis, I almost wish they would have held off with death and Darksiders 2. They should have done Genesis second, had strife as the second game character, still do number three in the souls like style, and hold death as the final big one.
Just now watching this in 2021. Darksiders is to this day one of if not my favorite franchise of all time. I even loved 3 despite all the hate it got from some. I keep waiting to hear about a potential 4th one, but I'd even settle for a Remnant 2!
Dave seems like the perfect guy to helm Darksiders 3. Joe might be the one that sparked the idea, but Dave is the one who keeps the fire going.
Thank you for making this documentary you guys need more recognition
40 minutes in. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! So proud to be part of your Kickstarter! Can't wait to watch the rest of this and your future videos!
Mad respect long ass video must of taken you a long ass time to make. This deserves more attention
I lived Darksiders, Death crit heal build was the best!
Great documentary, the best part is how someone magically materializes in the background at 48:09
Thank you for making this film!
