The holy trinity: God Of War, Legacy Of Kain, And Darksiders

WHAT? Wait, seriously, what? A documentary about one of my favorite games I've ever played? Holy shit, I have to see this!

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!!

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 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!

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!

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.

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 love the franchise. The story, the art is amazing. Cant wait for 3

I have to say the song that plays when you fight the Guardian is one of my favorite songs to ever appear in a video game.

DARKSIDERS 1 WAS EPIC GAME DARKSIDERS 2 WAS GREATNESS OMG STORY WAS SO GOOD

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.

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.

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.

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.

I agree, the best game soundtrack of the last decade: Darksiders 2

Awesome Doc guys ! Darksiders is one of my favourite franchise and to have all this behind the scene interviews was amazing. Thanks a lot !!!

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!!!

How is this channel not blowing up?

If any of you developers are reading this after a year i just wanna say thank you

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 is my favorite game/story series. Needs a movie.

Fantastic documentary, so proud to be a backer and see the final result!

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.

Darksiders!!! One of my favorite series ever!!!

Darksiders 1 and 2 are amazing. The amount of content in 1 and 2 puts almost every game to shame now.

Love Darksiders, and Joe Mad!

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.

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!

I want those Darksiders statues so bad.

It’s so clear David Adams just wants to make Old West games and I love it.

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!!

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…

One of my favorite franchises. Up there with Zelda, Halo, Metroid Prime. Love it.

Jasper's music in this game is excellent, I still listen to it to this day.

thank you for this amazing documentary on one of my favorite game franchises darksiders

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.

one of the best games ever made for me, i must have played both of them at least 10 times by now

Looks great guys, well done. Had to watch it all...had a smile on my face the whole time.

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.

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.

My favorite game series of all time :)

Darksiders Devs: "War is this vicious warrior." Fan base: "That is a precious child"

One of the most underrated series ever.

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

finally a perfect behind the scene interviews .. thank you so much for covering this .it was so emotional and inspiring at the same time

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!

I love how Joe Mad has the Darksiders sigil on his arm. And he has been showing that sigil off proud and loud. (Smiles)

When you fight the guardian I made the fight last longer because I loved the music

I'm so glad to have followed the journey, and see that Vigil is back on the case for Darksiders 3!

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.

Darksiders 4 please 🥺❤️ put all 4 horseman together for one last journey

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.

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!

I've been waiting for this for some time now. Glad to finally see it. Great work, guys!

I love how this studio manages to put the perfect amount of attention in every aspect of these games, even the story!

Just got the Darksiders trilogy yesterday. It is pretty damn good fun so far.

Been waiting a long time for this, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed, wonderful job!

Thank you so much for this great Gameumentary

Darksiders is easily one of my favorite guilty pleasure franchise. Both games are no way top tiered titles with a ton of problems, but you can tell the passion and energy of the developers within them. The comic book & heavy metal aesthetics, the scenary, the world building just ooze a sense of charisma lacking in a lot of modern 3A products.

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

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.

So much passion for their work, this was heartwarming.

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!!!

This was such a treat to watch. Darksiders has a special place in my heart, so this meant a lot to me. Thank you!

Fantastic documentary! Thank you for making it. I've been a huge fan of Darksiders right from the first gameplay reveal.

you guys did a magnificent work in both games , pure respect and love for what you done

I love these videos. Always the perfect inspiration. Thanks!

Great job, the documentary is incredible, looking forward in your future projects.

Came here after the reviews. Continue your plan to make darksiders 4 and bring strife to life devs, not all devs get the budget like some other big companies out there. Darksiders 2 was one of my favorite games of all time and joe mad's art style is godlike. Continue on this and remember, you don't make games for those arrogant reviewers, theirs is but a a single opinion amidst millions ahi played your games. And im one of them!! More power to you vigil and gunfire games, and am looking forward to play as strife!! He and death are just badass!!

Thank you for making this film!

Loved it! Yup my problem with Darksiders 2 was the size, it was huge. I'm so excited for Darksiders 3 and then a 4th and 5th where we can fullfil the 4 horseman coop.

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

This was amazing and beautiful thank you for doing this! Cannot wait for the Gunfire Doc!

Very well done! Thank you for making this!

Love, love, love. Thank you for covering this amazing series! Great job by all, and I'm ready to Unleash The Fury!

So many fond memories of my Collectors Edition of Darksiders 2 x3 Thank you!

Really waiting for Darksiders III. Thank you guys for your dedication.

BEST GAME EVER I PLAYED ON PC PS4 PS3

This is fantastic. Thank you for the upload.

Crazy good documentary!!! Love the insights on a passionate team of a very good game.

I loved working with you guys at Realm Interactive! Happy to see this documentary. Keep rocking it!

This was awesome!! thank u guys are making this

Great work guys! Love Darksiders and I love this Doc, I will share this with my fellow gamers / friends. Keep up the good work!

We missed you guys, excited and happy that you all have your own studio now. Super excited.

Wooo nice one! Excellent documentary, so happy to hear that Darksiders is alive and kicking. Must finish the story arc!

Thank you for making this documentary you guys need more recognition

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 awesome! I've been a huge fan of the series and now I want to pick up Battle Chasers. Thanks for doing this :)

Thank you for this. I've got teary eyes. I LOVE THIS FRANCHISE!

That was Awesome!! Very inspiring! Thank you!

Its ludicrous that this channel is not bigger. 28,000 subs?!? You guys are obviously passionate to be making feature length documentaries. Good stuff

Darksiders is one of my favourite 'new' IPs from the previous generation. Can't wait for DS3!

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've been looking forward to this one! It's great to see the thoughts and origins of the ideas behind one of my favourite franchises ever and everybody's involvement! Plus, this documentary was so chill to watch, it looked great, was well edited and I loved how thorough the research was. I can't wait to see more of these in the future.

Man, I loved these games. Just bought Battlechasers too. Can't wait for Darksiders 3. Glad I came by this channel.

Darksiders is a huge part of my childhood. Darksiders 2 was the first 360 game i ever played and i was instantly hooked on the artstyle, the world, the lore, the characters and the gameplay. These guys made something that gave me so many good memories.

Absolutely fantastic awesome documentary! As a game dev, so fascinating and cool to hear / see these guys story. Thanks so much for making this. Right on! :-) Cheers!
