If I suddenly found that rubbing something vigorously produced a genie (preferably a hot female one) and could have a remake of any game I wished for, it would be Silicon Knights' Eternal Darkness. Yes, I know, Silicon Knights is currently focused on their new intellectual property (IP) Too Human which has been met with very mixed reactions and is supposed to be a trilogy. I don't care. I want a 'this gen' Eternal Darkness
BagoGames: The Nintendo Switch is going to be fully revealed tomorrow at 8 p.m. PST and we can’t wait to hear about what is in store. However, there are some games we’re hoping they’ll announce during the event or in the very near future.
Sadly Persona 5 won't happen...maybe Persona 5 golden? But why Eternal Darkness 2, every time they've tried to bring that sequel back to life nobody backs them and then mocks them, then begs for the sequel...I'd be cool but the least we could maybe get is the Gamecube VC. Mario Sunshine 2 would be amazing!
Looking forward to awsome JRPGs on the Switch and possibly a Kingdom Hearts game!
Ray, Michael, and Geoff go over the Top 10 "We Need A Sequel/Remake" Games in this week's Countdown.
Nintendo have continued their quiet campaign to keep firm grip of the Eternal Darkness trademark, following last June’s re-filing comes a request of a time extension.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing a sequel... Fatal Frame is already in development... another mature game like this is definitely on the cards.
I was so hoping that Nintendo was working with Precursor Games to bring Shadow of the Eternal exclusive to WiiU.
Then they could just give them the rights to the name (since it is a sequel anyway).
When doing this for our writer (adding the pics and layout), I found evidence that Silicon Knights ARE in fact working on 2 new titles with the Ontario Government scheme which have put up $CAN10 Million for them to develop games in Ontario Canada.
This is OUTSIDE of their Too Human development, which is still going ahead with the other two iterations for the trilogy. Studios CAN and do build or work on more than one title at a time. They simply have separate teams working on them. Ubisoft do it, Gearbox do it, and so do most of the mid-range development houses these days.
So don't dismiss the idea of SK's doing two games or not bringing back Eternal Darkness, it could just happen.
But are sequels really as good as they seem, or are many gamers these days expecting way too much, yet at the same time, demanding developers stay true to the game.
Makes it really hard to build a "This-Gen" game which are supposed to break new ground, if they are continually told by fans to keep the games as they were. Which is NOT progress at all.
A sequel to eternal darkness would be possibly very very awesome.
