Seems they are determined to make this game. They are asking for less money this time, and producing a full game. And now also include the Ps4 as a stretch goal for hitting... well it doesn't say. So just trust them on that.

Will you support it, this time?

Update 1: Currently at 114,039 after a day.

Persona7 · Jul 25, 2013

I supported it the first time. I will support it this time as well. I really want to play this game.

Silky · Jul 25, 2013

Don't fucking give these people money.

daxgame · Jul 25, 2013

'aight, supported. (again)

Ridley327 · Jul 25, 2013

Interestingly, Dyack is nowhere to be found in any of the text in the Kickstarter.

Midou · Jul 25, 2013

$20 for full non-episodic game is more like it. I'll wait to see how it does though.

onlyindreams · Jul 25, 2013

They got David Hayter huh? cool

Smart of them. People aren't buying that he's changed.

Quentyn · Jul 25, 2013

Pledge $5,000 or more

CHAMPION SUPPORTER ============================= Work with Precursor to DEMO THE GAME AT AN EVENT like E3 (Los Angeles), PAX (Seattle), or GDC (San Francisco). Must be able to arrange travel to the location.

What? I have to pay them 5,000 bucks so I can work for them for free at E3?

mugurumakensei · Jul 25, 2013

Alright, this I can back because it now has a chance.

brandnew · Jul 25, 2013

I feel pretty bad for these guys. That Dyak character really ruined it for them.

I won't give them any money though

ShellyDeKiller · Jul 25, 2013

Backed again.

Emitan · Jul 25, 2013

Dyack is still involved. Save your money.

LiK · Jul 25, 2013

Didn't they lose one core member? So I guess they replaced him?

Shhhh. Let them, if a game comes out of it, we win!

EatChildren · Jul 25, 2013

I $25'd last time, and they refunded when the project was cancelled, so I'm okay with trying again.

Morts · Jul 25, 2013

Do they have any programmers yet or is the whole company still community managers?

Gbraga · Jul 25, 2013

$20?? Now we're talking, I'll look into it more carefully when I get home, but I'll back for now to get my early bird spot before it runs out.

Magnalon · Jul 25, 2013

TONS of Dyack up in here:

I won't be contributing.

This is honestly amazing.

kazebyaka · Jul 25, 2013

Seems interesting. I doubt it'll get funded after all the controversy and stuff, but who knows. The more games the merrier.

His VA schedule did clear up quite a bit recently.

Jarnet87 · Jul 25, 2013

No chance, that's what they've got.

antitrop · Jul 25, 2013

I see no mention of Dyack, this time.

me too.
I'm going to fund it next week

thefro · Jul 25, 2013

This is allegedly a 8-10 hour "full game" now, which probably makes more sense.

Not sure how they can make 4x the game for less of a funding goal, but I'm guessing they found some extra $$$ elsewhere.

Jackpot · Jul 25, 2013

Who's replacing the guy who was accused of paedophilia?

lol, I think the "pay thousands of dollars to party with us!" tiers of several kickstarters are also silly as hell. I want your game, not your friendship, specially if I have to buy it.

D-e-f- · Jul 25, 2013

Still psyched about this!

Pledged! (Again)

if you read the page it says they have since received external funding which is why they need less money now

MikeE21286 · Jul 25, 2013

I don't understand what I would even be funding here.

Clearly this game is far along with an ETA of Oct 2014. What does this money actually help/do?

That's what I don't like about Kickstarter. Lack of transparency.

Malvingt2 · Jul 25, 2013

why do I feel that this project is a trap? I am the only one feeling this way?

Persona7 · Jul 25, 2013

Kickstarter doesn't charge your card right away, right? I never bothered to check in the past.

EviLore · Jul 25, 2013

Well, if Accomplished Actor, Screenwriter, and Director David Hayter endorses it, then it must be good! Oh, he's voicing the main character, too! What a coincidence!

Helloween · Jul 25, 2013

Sure...why the hell not. Not like $20 (£14) is much if it goes tits up

Magnalon · Jul 25, 2013

Not until it's funded and over, I believe.

EatChildren · Jul 25, 2013

No, it doesn't. You'll get charged if it meets the goal.

Gbraga · Jul 25, 2013

Wait a minute, there's combat in the game? Nevermind, interest vanished.

radcliff · Jul 25, 2013

Will back when I get home. I think it has more of a chance now that it is for the full game (rather than episodic content) and the target is more reasonable. I have wanted a sequel to ED since 2002. I really hope this gets funded and will do my part.

or the game wasn't as expensive in the first place and they just wanted the extra money for beer

Ridley327 · Jul 25, 2013

Gbraga said:

It wouldn't be a proper spiritual sequel to ED if there wasn't awkward lock-on combat in it.

LiK · Jul 25, 2013

Gbraga said:

Eternal Darkness had combat as well.

SEGAvangelist · Jul 25, 2013

This looks realistic now. In, now.

Dolphin_Butter · Jul 25, 2013

Sounds like a better proposal than the last one. I probably won't end up supporting the Kickstarter, since I prefer to give developers money during the point of sale. However, I wish them luck all the same.

Pie and Beans · Jul 25, 2013

Hayter's career as a Kickstarter desperation tier is a notable step down from his previous standing in the industry.

Asking for half, this time pledging a full game. I am perhaps more than a little skeptical of how that mathmagic plays out in reality.
Edit: Oh, external money eh, but still not enough to cover development? Oh deary me.

Lack of transparency? It says right there on the page that they would hire more people with the money. You know, game development is done by people who need to eat and live somewhere which costs money which they gain by getting paid which their place of employment is handling which we are helping out with by funding. It's not that hard to grasp, really.

I don't know, paranoia?

Persona7 said:

Yes, of course they don't charge right away. They charge you after the kickstarter has closed and only if the goal has been met.

We should be honored the offer is even on the table.

Did you play Eternal Darkness?

I backed the first campaign and definitely gonna back this one. Excited to see it happening...again.

Gbraga · Jul 25, 2013

LiK said:

Was it good in ED? I never played it.

If the combat was bad, then I don't see that as a valid reason to keep it, if it was good, then my apologies. It's just that after Too Human, I'm not sure I want a game with combat with some of those guys involved, and don't get me wrong, from what I see the story in Too Human was pretty interesting (I couldn't finish it myself so I know little of it), so an adventure game with no combat would be perfect for those guys.

nope
