We Wait, In Eternal Darkness Could Silicon Knights be working on another Sequel ?

5
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

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.

It;s great to see a government getting behind developers. Canada is by far the best government as far as helping developers. Their tax breaks exceed every other country, and if worked in the correct fashion, a developer can get tax breaks of up to 40% of the cost of a game.

While countries like the UK, Australia etc get no tax breaks whatsoever for gaming, yet do in film and TV. Making it almost impossible to make any sort of profit from the games they produce.

It's why so many game developers are heading to set up studios in Canada.

Silicon Knights got the deal because they are 1) Canadian naturally, and 2) their main base of operations is in Ontario. So investing that sum of money into two games, one of which could well be the logical sequel to Eternal Darkness only makes sense.

I hope it is one of the two games being done, we need games like that again.

A sequel to eternal darkness would be possibly very very awesome.
