Yesterday on July 4, 2016, SuperMetaldave64/Trevelyan9999 posted on YouTube the Nintendo NX Podcast #7 featuring Denis Dyack. In the podcast they discuss various topics including Eternal Darkness, Shadows of the Eternal, Nintendo in general and of course NX (especially on power). At 37:57 in the video, Denis proclaims his excitement for the new machine:

Am I really, really excited about the NX? I think so, I think probably more than ever, on any other previous console generation. I remember Mr. Iwata saying some things on how exc.., just seeing how excited he was on talking about the future. I know these guys, and I feel really good about what's coming. So, and I think those that are concerned and worried, don't.

Denis, like Trev/SMD, does not seem worried about the power of NX. The podcast is over an hour long and features interesting comments on NX, both from Denis and Trev.

I searched but found no prior thread about this.

 

[Maxey]

Way Too Human confirmed.

 

[DownGrader]

Nobody knows what is it, so... who's not?

 

[klier]

1.5 TB will give us better graphics than the Zelda U reveal trailer.

It's enough for me.

 

[KingSnake]

If Denis Dyack says that, it must be true.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Nobody knows what is it

Clearly that's not true.

 

[Milly Osworth]

In b4 DD hatetrain.

 

[DownGrader]

Clearly that's not true.

Well, nobody aside from who's working on it or its projects, obviously.

 

[Tailzo]

I wasn't aware that Denis was still developing games.

 

[Asd202]

How is this news? He doesn't know anything about NX.

 

[grandjedi6]

I don't think Dyack knows anything about the NX that we ourselves don't know about

 

[Nibel]

Does Denis even know what the NX is

 

[Corpekata]

He doesn't seem to know anything about it so I'm not sure if this is really anything.

 

[KingSnake]

The shareholder meeting had more NX info than this podcast.

 

[@MUWANdo]

I wasn't aware that Denis was still developing games.

He's still pretending Shadow of the Eternals is a thing.

 

[jediyoshi]

Huh, I thought he pulled a Phil Fish.

Host: "The last 10 years does not represent an entire company's existence". I like the idea of, when looking at Nintendo's next project, immediately throwing out the last 10 years as any sort of context. As if the Wii / Wii U had been a bigger success, he'd be naysaying the idea that the NX was in a good spot.

 

[robotrock]

Nintendo definitely didn't tell him what the NX is. He just wants funding for Shadow of the Eternals.

 

[TheMoon]

Why is this news/a thread? It's not like this is based on anything.

 

[Munter]

Somebody is excited by the prospect of the NX, quick, post a thread!

I'm excited by the prospect of the NX, can I get my own thread?

 

[Mistouze]

The kiss of death.

 

[cartographer]

Shame that Trev is going down this route.

 

[Oppo]

Nintendo really needs to reveal the thing.

the frothing and handwringing and prognosticating amongst the faithful has reached Ludicrious Speed.

picking up the tiniest of scraps and holding them aloft as if they were found gold. get ahold of yourselves goddammit!

 

[Oregano]

Denis is probably trying desperately to get Nintendo to fund Eternal Darkness 2.

 

[Who]

I mean I get the hype for the NX is insatiable but Im really starting to hate these non-news threads.

Literally nothing is gained from knowing this. It doesn't sound like he knows a thing about it other than he got really excited when Iwata spoke.

Cool?

 

[spectator]

NX compatible with Playstation and Xbox software, confirmed.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The X in NX stands for ethiX in games journalism.

 

[War Peaceman]

I don't trust a word this man says. He's likely talking out of his quantum tunnel.

 

[Aostia]

If Denis Dyack says that, it must be true.

Yeah, exactly.

Lol.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Does Denis actually have a NX kit, or is this just a video of him jerking off, figuratively speaking?

 

[Sizzel]

So if DD doesn't know anything about it other than what is generally available...this is literally one man's opinion. One man who really wants to make Shadow Of The Eternals, but presumably needs some backing after kickstarting fizzled and was presumably dead in the water since 2013.

If you needed a publisher or were looking to get a product picked up... you would probably be pretty critical of things and not just gush everywhere. Especially of the company that basically was your launch pad to the game's spiritual predecessor and owns the IP and a patent on the sanity meter ( per Wiki)

So DD doesn't know more than most about it and needs/wants funding from Nintendo(or anyone I guess)... seems legit. Fair and balanced.

 

[stilgar]

Just give a Eternaler Darkness. All will be forgiven.

 

[Nibel]

Against

 

[Litri]

Mmmm. means nothing.

 

[The Giant]

I wouldn't be suprised if Shadows of the Eternal became Eternal Darkness 2.

 

[Daedardus]

For.


Ehh, I don't know about this one. Don't feel like he's in a position anymore where his opinion has a lot of value. Most likely he's excited no matter what.

 

[TheMoon]

I wouldn't be suprised if Shadows of the Eternal became Eternal Darkness 2.

Not happening.

 

[Shiggy]

Sorry, but this thread really has zero information. Dyack has pretty much no industry relevance, is not actively developing games anymore and hasn't created anything since 2011. He has no knowledge about the system nor does he indicate any news about the system in the podcast (based on what I read in the OP of this thread). But well, he is excited, good to know.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I wouldn't be suprised if Shadows of the Eternal became Eternal Darkness 2.

I would

 

[SlipperyFishes]

If only he wasn't banned. Lol.

 

[robotrock]

I wouldn't be suprised if Shadows of the Eternal became Eternal Darkness 2.

The darkest timeline.

 

[Maxrunner]

I would

Its not like Nintendo will do anything with the ip internally.

 

[L Thammy]

Oh, cool. Has he managed to convince Miyamoto to save anther one of his games?

The darkest timeline.

Mantorok has won.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Nintendo should give the ED property to Next Level Games. Hilarity would ensue. Ensue.

In fact, ED2 should have been a 3DS game. Imagine the amount of sanity fuckery you could do with the 3D effect. And being a 3DS game, it wouldn't have been much of a loss if it tanked - like the first game.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Its not like Nintendo will do anything with the ip internally.

Yeah, but they probably still don't want to throw it away.

 

[Shiggy]

The darkest timeline.

The art for ED2 did look great though.

Library of Alexandria

Euclid's Lab

Oak Grove


But Nintendo did not want to fund it, nor did anyone else when it was renamed to Shadows of the Eternals.

Nintendo should give the ED property to Next Level Games. Hilarity would ensue. Ensue.

That would be a literal HORROR game. Alexandra Roivas would probably look like this then:

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Lol, can you imagine Nintendo ever trusting him again?

 

[GrantDaNasty]

In b4 DD hatetrain.

Gladly.


Denis Dyack is a loud-mouth, self-obsessed idiot who will latch onto anything that would put his name out there, talking about the NX very much falls in line with that. This thread provides no new info, just more speculation while giving him exactly what he wants and nothing more.

This coming from someone who adores Eternal Darkness and thought Silicon Knights could've done amazing things.

 

[Rösti]

Lol, can you imagine Nintendo ever trusting him again?

No. Well, at least not enough to allow him to work on their IPs.

 

[Spring Drive]

Does GAF still hate him?

 

[L Thammy]

That would be a literal HORROR game. Alexandra Roivas would probably look like this then:

Is this just Metroid bitterness? I don't think Next Level Games has ever done a moe-style game, have they? Meanwhile, they've done a number of games with realistic art styles.
