Darksiders 2 – Last Gen to Current Gen Comparison Screens

I cannot believe its 2015 and we’re still talking about Darksiders 2. Will the Deathinative Edition be worth the upgrade? We have some comparison shots to help you decide.
Here is what John Pearl, Design Director at Gunfire Games, has to say about it:
“When we thought about what we wanted to do for the ‘Deathinitive’ edition of Darksiders II, obviously we wanted to run in native 1080p and increase the resolution of the textures. Additionally, we decided to rewrite the renderer to be physically based like a lot of other current generation game engines. What this means visually is metal, leather, stone, and skin look and respond to light as you would expect them to in the real world. This new rendering method meant we revisited every texture and surface in the game, reworking and re-authoring them for the new renderer. To take full advantage of these texture changes, we’ve also gone back and relit the entire game.”
