Layoffs after a game is complete is perfectly normal. Many staffers are temps/contracts that sign on for X amount of months. It could also be they expected far too much from it, but that's only part of the story.
Please Platinum, be the savior that Darksiders needs. Nintendo could be the savior too, then give it off to Platinum after they finish TW101 and Bayonetta 2.
@cameronrobinson @ChubbyGuy40 Since it's Unreal Engine 3, were you able to find an ini file to play around with? I really wanna know if you can remove the texture pop-in and increase shadow resolutions with it like you can with Borderlands 2.
