Screen tearing patch coming for Darksiders

NewsPosted 08/01/2010 - 9:36am GMT

Developer says it'll be available really soon.

Darksiders, the new fantasy, action adventure title from THQ and Vigil Games, is a pretty impressive effort and worthy of a very respectable 8/10, and it looks like the experience will soon get even better on Xbox 360.

The current retail release of Darksiders on Xbox 360 suffers from more than your average amount of screen tearing, but developer Vigil plans to put this right with a soon to be released patch.

Studio head Joe Madureira told IGN: "It's something that's really not a difficult fix for us and so we're going to implement a patch to resolve the problem. We're fairly certain it'll happen really soon so look out for it."

Darksiders is out now for Xbox 360 and PS3.

Hmm... it does seem to be happening a lot more this gen than previously. Is the technology starting to struggle, as it seems to be a common problem across many different games/engines.

It seems to be just the right side as the left of the road looks in sync. I don't think its because of the PSP power but a slight mistake from a programmer.
I would have to play the game mind to get a better view of it though.

Is it just that track Rouge_Soul?

Is it me or is screen tearing becoming quite common now? I usually notice it in racing games or first person shooters. It's really quite annoying once you see it... as it can't be unseen!
