Nintendo Enthusiast:
"Silicon Knights have a specific set of skills that they know how to execute with mastery. They have an uncanny ability to produce immersive fantasy/sci-fi worlds and make them believable by way of atmosphere and backstory. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain? An action-adventure/RPG that was extolled for its moody atmosphere, compelling storyline, and high-quality voice acting. Eternal Darkness? A Lovecraftian “experience” that won critical acclaim for its psychological brand of horror, generation-spanning storyline, and its unique approach to character development. Too Human? The otherwise-criticized game was praised for blending science fiction with Norse mythology, providing an art design that brought that mythology to life, and delivering an epic and meaningful tale about the ills of transhumanism.
It’s quite obvious to me: Silicon Knight should be going down a route more similar to Bioware games. The mythology and backdrop they can achieve in their worlds can compete with Bioware. And their ability to create a moody atmosphere possibly surpasses their fellow Canadian developers. If they followed such a path I’m confident they would meet success in the eyes of the critics."
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.
I'm also excited by the rumor of a new Soul Reaver, which I would hope would be developed for the U (downported to the 360 and PS3 too, of course).
Between these two, the U could be getting the mature narrative it needs to convince a lot of skeptics. Not to mention the games would be awesome, of course.
Eternal Darkness just wasn't all that great. It was seriously overhyped. I think people were just amazed by the creepy gimmicks. They just gave it an highscore. Take away the gimmicks and you are just left with a extremely linear and repetitive game. This game was seriously overrated. Now i would love to see an new soul reaver game. That the only game i enjoyed from them.
