Like most Nintendo fans we owned and enjoyed Eternal Darkness and have been hoping for a sequel for years, so obviously we're overjoyed at this news a spiritual successor might be on the way! Right? Well, not exactly. Here's four reasons Shadow of the Eternals should never happen.
Got that retro survival horror bug? Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best survival horror games from yesteryear.
Eternal Darkness was way ahead of its time especially for a Nintendo exclusive.
I would love to see a remake or sequel (multiplatform)
4 people love Eternal Darkness.
Quick! Jump on that remake, whoever holds the rights these days.
Spooky season is here again at last and time of the horror game has arrived alongside it. This year has seen the return of some the genre's greatest entires, but both tended to focus more on thrills than they did chills. So, those wanting a bit more of the latter this month would do well to check out at least one of these before Halloween rolls around.
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.
Wow!! Just revealed and some folk goes here pointing that it could be a bad game. Why can't we be a little bit optimistic and hope for the best?
ohh Shit The Drones and Haters have started already.
NINTENDOMINATION!!!! LOL.
the chapel in the video is the same one in the first game that poor Anthony and Paul Luther visit. they even have the secret door in the book case.
really hope it gets made.
I'm torn betweenYAY YAHOO OMFG CANT F@&#ING WAIT! And please please please don't screw this up.
The problem is Nintendo groomed Silicon Knights while it was working on Eternal Darkness, just like it continues to do with Retro Studios, Next Level Games, and Monster Games. That's not to say that these development studios are not talented on their own (they are), but Nintendo's known for its production assistance and consultant support skills.
So with Denis heading a new development team without Nintendo backing it up, I think most of us are concerned about the quality of this sequel, and it doesn't help that the staff only has 8 guys on it. Anyway, with Denis and his peeps requesting $1.5 million donation fund, its unlikely the dev team has the means to self-fund the game.
