Darksiders 2′s Game Director Marvin Donald tells us how it is: “Darksiders 2 = Zelda + Diablo”
Speaking with Marvin Donald about what he compares the upcoming sequel to.
In a recent interview with Marvin Donald, Darksiders 2 Game Director, we wanted to know more about where the series is headed. The original title was known for it's likenesses to Zelda and now with the new addition of 'loot', it does seem like it's now adding some Diablo elements too.
XG 24/7: So then, is Darksiders 2 pretty much Zelda + Diablo?
Marvin Donald: "uh huh, yeah definetly, you're hacking your way through dungeons killing tones of guys and you're going to have to sort through it. Selling all that trashy loot that isn't really that good, and then you'll be hoping for a rare-enchanted item which is super powerful and it'll get you excited. You never know what you're going to get, so it will definetly have the dungeon crawling aspect.
XG 24/7: Obviously Diablo had you being able to share your loot with others, in someways that could be seen as a multiplayer aspect. Can we expect to share our loot with friends?
MD: Well, what I can say at this point is that we want to support a 'Community' for Darksider 2, so, look forward to more information in the future about how loot is tied into that.
You totally just got the Diablo fan inside of me really excited.
