Comparison Screenshots Between "Then" and "Soon" for Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition

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."

Deathinitive Edition Features:
•Darksiders 2 with All DLCs* included and integrated into the game, offering a total playtime of more than 30 hours
 *(Maker Armor Set, The Abyssal Forge, The Demon Lord Belial, Death Rides, Angel of Death, Deadly Despair, Shadow of Death, Mortis Pack, Rusanov's Axe, Van Der Schmash Hammer, Fletcher's Crow Hammer, Mace Maximus, Argul's Tomb).
•Improved Graphic Render Engine for higher visual quality especially in terms of lighting and shadows.
•Improved and reworked level, character and environment graphics.
•Running in native 1080p resolution.
