http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_darktear.jpg (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/darktear.jpg)I wasn't a big fan (http://kotaku.com/5439223/darksiders-review-harbinger-of-the-apocopylypse) of the amount of screen-tearing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing) present in the Xbox 360 (http://kotaku.com/tag/xbox360/) version of Vigil's Darksiders. It appears I'm not the only one, as the studio has confirmed that a patch for the issue is on the way.
"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", Vigil's Joe Madureira told IGN. "We're fairly certain it'll happen really soon so look out for it".
While it's a pain the tearing was there in the first place (I've 'shopped the image above to give those unaware an idea what screen tearing looks like), it's nice to see one developer actually doing something about it.
