Crytek Dev To Nordic: 'We'd Be Happy To Take Darksiders Off Your Hands' - NowGamer
Former members of Vigil Games have posted on Nordic Games' forums to pass along advice for future Darksiders titles - including an offer to take the Darksiders IP off Nordic's hands.

The remaining THQ assets were sold off last night after the publisher went under, with Nordic Games landing the Darksiders IP.

This has seen two members of Crytek, who used to work at Darksiders studio Vigil Games, passing along advice on Nordic's forums.

"As one of the co-founders of Vigil and the lead level designer/principal designer on both games, all I can say is... make it adventurous," said Ryan Stefanelli.

"And do what we would've done: let people know what happens when those other three comets land on Earth! Four player co-op or bust! Good luck to you guys. You've adopted our baby."

"If you actually ever go forward with the Darksiders franchise, be sure to focus on the things that made DS and DS2 cool," added Ben Cureton, who was lead combat designer at Vigil.

"Things like... that feeling of adventure (that Ryan mentioned), the fast-paced combat, the sense of scale, quality voice acting, and don't forget that Strife and Fury need to be BADASS... whatever you do, don't forget to crank the BADASS meter up to 11. If you are ever in doubt of what to do... just add more skulls! Oh yeah... it has to be 4 player. It's a must!

"That being said, if you decide you don't want to continue making games for the series, let me know. We'd be more than happy to take the IP off your hands. In fact, you can even have all of the money that DS1 and DS2 continue to generate!"

And I sincerely hope CryTek stays away from Darksiders. It is one of my most loved franchises and I hate it to see developers like CryTek take away, and turn it to a ultra cool "Benchmarking Tool".

Crytek hired most of Vigil Games (Darksiders developer). What you are effectively seeing is comments from the original developers from that forum thread. Crytek intended to pass the franchise off to whatever remained of Vigil in their company for development of the next game.

Yea.. I know. But after Crysis 2, 3.. I lost hope on CryTek. Its good that Vigil guys found their jobs there, but they will be still under CryTek's supervision and I guess they have to follow their guidelines.
