It's been 20 years since Eternal Darkness first released, which is almost as scary a thought as the game itself.
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.
Another amazing IP Nintendo chooses to do nothing with.
Shop that around to a few smaller studios and see what sort of pitches they come up with. There are studios who would kill to take a hand at the series.
Loved playing this game back in the day. Some of the sanity effects wouldn't work on today's TV's but back then I know the game got me more than a few times while playing it into the wee hours of the morning. Lol It's a shame the IP never took off. People clamor for mature story driven Nintendo games yet more often than not those games bomb. 🤔
I remember back when the Switch was still codenamed NX a group of former Eternal Darkness devs were working on a spiritual successor but they never got the backing it needed and the project failed. I was hoping Nintendo would step in but after one of the devs was arrested for cheese pizza I knew that wasn't happening. Apparently the project lead wasn't very relieable either which also did the game in. Would be nice if we at least got a remaster of the orginal though. Im sure Nintendo could find a studio willing to do it.
This game is long overdue for a remake.
Gotta be up there as one of the top 5 most underrated from that generation. Extremely Fantastic game thats sadly dead in the water due the it's creator being a nonce. Nintendo should have gone with the spiritual sequel that popped up years ago but now I feel they are perhaps the wrong platform for it - thought I'm all for being proven wrong.
