IGN - The sequel that almost was - yet might never be.
Though certainly known for its recent releases like Too Human and X-Men Destiny, the most celebrated game in the arsenal of Silicon Knights is easily Eternal Darkness. Receiving universal praise from critics at the time, including a 9.5 from IGN, Darkness has gone on to be remembered as one of the best GameCube games ever. For a decade, fans have been asking for a sequel, with nothing but vague hints to appease them. Yet according to a recent report, Silicon Knights was in fact working on concepts for Eternal Darkness 2.
Nintendo hasn’t been the biggest advocate for horror in recent years, but many years ago, with the help of Silicon Knights, it produced its most iconic horror game in Eternal Darkness
10 years on from 'Too Human', Dom Peppiatt of Fandom looks into the game's fascinating development history and the events that lead to one of gaming's biggest downfalls.
I liked it for what it was as well, but the game was definitely bad. We were promised so much of a better game.
They should definitely make a sequel, it has the lore and the atmosphere now it needs proper execution.
The story was good but game has its flaws. Overall though I enjoyed it.
Put in a lot of hours in on Too Human loved it , sure it had issues like the death animation but more flops like that MS.
I don't personally think the death animation was bad, nor an issue.. It's really not much different than a loading screen and having to start over. It's better than looking at the same loading screen and "hint" you've seen 732 other times.
I always really dug the sci-fi meets Norse mythology premise. There was also a solid loot and class system.
The voice work and combat in this game was entertaining as hell..entertaining in the worst way possible, but entertaining. I can't believe how long this game was in development.
I was so excited about the game when they announced it. I watched all the trailers, dev diaries multiple times in excitement and anticipation. And the game was utter garbage. I have never been more disappointed with a game in my life.
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!
Why would Nintendo get the copyright back then? I think they may develop the title themselves, not go to Silicon Knights, they're dead in the water. Maybe put the Luigi's Mansion team on it!
Looking forward to awsome JRPGs on the Switch and possibly a Kingdom Hearts game!
it's like they can't do anything right w/o a Japanese supervisor.
this would have been the game I need to get me to buy a Wii U, otherwise I'll just wait for zelda.
when games dont sell too well, devs wont bother putting out sequels no matter how good it was.. Its up to us whether or not great games like this continue moving forward.. If we dont buy em & only buy 1st party, chances of games like this surviving are very VERY rare..
Im really curious to see how much 3rd party wii u titles sell.. If games like nintendo land & mario bros are the only hits, expect a repeat of what happened on the wii.. Things look good so far but theres no telling what ppl will be going after
I am playing Eternal Darkness now. Love this game. It was one of the BEST Gamecube games ever. Graphics and Camera would be soooo much better now It would be sooo amazing. Its still a great game to this day though, and when playing its best with surround sound up!
After reading some stuff....
I will never buy a game made by SK...
They have an idiot in charge.
