Denis Dyack and Shadow of the Eternals- Trial By Internet

OXCGN:

"There is a trial going on right now in cyberspace. And we are the jury.

At stake is the reputation of the man largely credited for the cult favourite Gamecube game Eternal Darkness and the future of the 'spiritual successor' to that title which is struggling for backers on Kickstarter, Shadow of the Eternals.

But the question is if the trial by the internet community is even valid or right, or simply a case of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbel's 'if you repeat a lie often enough it will become the truth'."

I can't believe that one article can cause so much doubt. Game makers have failures or say silly things all the time, but it doesn't sink their next project.

BadCircuit3991d ago

There has never been any evidence that what Kotaku alleges ever happened! I'd sue them

gaminoz3991d ago

Id say after suing Epic and losing he wouldn't want to do that route again

BadCircuit3991d ago

On the internet, anything can be true. It's all perception....

Belgavion3991d ago

It's a crying shame if Shadow of the Eternals ends up buried because of this...

BadCircuit3991d ago (Edited 3991d ago )

I can't believe a project can be so criticised just because of one guy who is involved

Activision would have chased any money that was "pilfered" so clearly it is a lie.

DeusExer3991d ago

Remember not too long ago the guy from MS was going on a Twitter rampage telling people to deal with having to be always online.

One person can do a lot of damage.

gaminoz3991d ago

I do think they would have got more pledgers if they had put it on XBLA and PSN though

Proeliator3991d ago

Hmmm... not sure where I stand.

BadCircuit3991d ago

Because you don't think you like the guy or because you think he did something illegal?

Do you think the kickstarter is a money grab?

Rhaigun3991d ago

I wouldn't support anything with this guy attached. He spouts more lies than Peter Molynuex. Instead of taking any responsibility for how bad Too Human and Xmen Destiny were, he blames it all on an engine everyone was using this gen. An engine,mind you, that spawned countless AAA hits.

He also claimed that his team had modified the engine so much, that Epic had no claims to licensing fees. Which, if you look at footage of both, you can clearly see isn't the case. Why? Because they resemble every other Unreal game on the market.

Joseph Goebbel was a propaganda genius. A complete a-hole. But he understood that people can easily be manipulated. And the Internet makes it easier than ever.

10 Kickstarter Horror Adventures That Deserved to Be Funded

Serena Nelson writes: " I want to specifically take a look at ten Kickstarter horror adventure games that didn't hit the mark that should have been easily funded. Horror is a popular genre, especially during this time of year as All Hallow's Eve approaches. What better way than to scare you with some unfortunate tales of loss? Read on, if you dare."

Agree with about half the list. Big outlier is shadow of the eternals. Glad that one failed both times.

David Hayter’s Kickstarter Saga

Josh Griffiths writes: "Yes, the gravely voice known to a generation as Big Boss and Solid Snake is famous for Metal Gear, but he’s had other roles in recent years. You may be surprised how many of them came from Kickstarter. He’s been involved in eight different Kickstarter projects, one of which was a movie, to varying degrees."

Shadow Of The Eternals is still coming. They just wanted to expand the universe.

http://n4g.com/news/1835518...

Most likely they will make a Movie or a TV series along side the game.

DarkOcelet3011d ago

I think we might get a big reveal at E3 this year for the game and an actual release date this time.

It feels like ages since we got any news about this game.

blackblades3011d ago

Hell winning the last PowerBall you can buy a company or create your on company just for it. Also back up kickstarter and get some profit out of it.
