Precursor Games' ambtious Kickstarter project to create a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkenss has been hampered by negative reports of the developer's former studio Silicon Knights --predominantly, some rather serious allegations made in an article on Kotaku following the launch of the ill-received X-Men Destiny.
With the crowdfunding efforts of Precursor's Shadow of the Eternals having clearly been impacted by the spectre of these accusations, Precursor CCO, and former Silicon Knights head Denis Dyack was urged by his colleagues to try and clear the air, and the result was a half hour video blog from Dyack, telling his side of the story.
An Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem remaster would certainly "resonate with fans," according to director Denis Dyack.
I have been asking for a remake for Nintendo's next console launch. The sanity system was a very nice touch.
This game wouldn’t work with a simple remaster. I think the sanity system needs a full reboot or remake. I think using the console technology, haptic controls, and mimicking other apps would be real cool.
I agree. I didn't say remaster, because of that. It needs a remake! The article says remaster, and that just wouldn't work. 🙂✌
Same. I think it needs an actual remake not a remaster for it to have the full impact.
Agreed, I'm just imagining what they can do from an audio standpoint with earphone's and directorial audio.
i’m guessing @XiNatsuDragnel is joking, the og game has a trailer for a sequel within it once you reach a certain point to confuse tf out of you lmao
One of the best horror games ever. Nintendo should have capitalized on this. It's still not too late.
Even not being an owner of a current Nintendo console, I for one would love to see this. Preferably a remake, though.
Denis Dyack, who's currently working on Deadhaus Sonata, said that interactive streaming is a much more provocative opportunity than next-gen consoles, despite their impressive technological leaps.
Cool concept.
Well the base game needs to be pretty good for users to be invested in and participate in the interaction.
Anything can be provocative if it's done right. The consoles are just a means to an end, but it's the software on those consoles, hopefully using that technology, that will make it provocative.
Interactive streaming, as it's being talked about here, is an interesting concept, but provocative is not really the right word to use. I'd call it interesting, because it is something kind of new. What I feel however, is that the implementation will likely not be that compelling, as things that are new, usually are very superficial, and if it's not successful, it either dies, or slows down adoption. Asynchronous cloud compute was that thing this gen. Lots of potential. Had a viable proof of concept released by MS(even though people don't recognize this). Failed to impress. Now, no one cares.....even MS. It was irrelevant, and now it's practically forgotten except for what used the same principals before MS decided to make it into a marketing catchphrase.
Wccftech talked to Denis Dyack to learn how he plans to bring narrative to the F2P online space in Deadhaus Sonata, thanks to Genvid's interactive streaming technology and Amazon's Lumberyard engine and Web Services in the cloud.
