True, it was fun.Dr_Cogent said:I'd probably buy a sequel. I liked the first game.

Xbox360 here I come
Seriously. This guy has to be on crack.Denis Dyack said:I am most often asked if we have sequels in mind for Eternal Darkness. The answer is absolutely yes. Although this may not be obvious to those outside of Silicon Knights, anyone inside the guild understands that there is really no other answer. When creating an original game we start by conceptualizing an entire universe. Once the universe is conceptualized we then tell a story within that world.

omg rite said:eternal darkness is incredibly overrated and too human looks horrible
anyone agree? :\

Ark-AMN said:Yeesh, the SK/Dyack hate has reached new levels around here, calling Dyack a "shithead" and stuff now. And you wonder why he will never come back here?
With this kind of rhetoric, you'd think Dyack personally came into your homes and killed your pets or something.
Y2Kevbug11 said:That guy can't win around here.
Bring on ED2. Loved the first.
ahmad said::lol Who is that in your avatar???
Without giving too much away, I can tell you that the theme of each installment will be discovery, revenge and enlightenment respectively
jarosh said:yeah, cancel too human already and bring on ed2. make it happen dyack.

Maybe their new publisher will actually pay for a license from the Lovecraft estate, so they don't have to plaigarize this time.No.1 said:They do. But that doesn't stop them from making a completely new franchise in the same vain as Eternal Darkness, and everyone knowing it is Eternal Darkness 2 but just under a different name.
It's exactly what they're doing with BioShock and future F.E.A.R games.
I don't see how this is any more of a "sequel confirmation" than Yu Suzuki admitting that they had 13 chapters of Shenmue planned out. They've got ideas but they don't have a publisher or the budget or anyone working on the project.this is one of those "holy grail" announcements that i never expected to hear

Draft said:did he just call his company a guild?
Symytry said:This can't happen without Nintendo and I don't think that SK will be repairing that relationship anytime soon.
No.1 said:"Like I said earlier I think they can only make it if Nintendo publishes it, since Nintendo holds the IP."

Kittonwy said:Are you saying Nintendo owns the IP then? Why does Dyack try to portray they still have a buddy-buddy relationship with Nintendo, is that true?

Mallrat83 said:Umm, if I'm not mistaken, Nintendo owns the rights to the Eternal Darkness franchise.
jjasper said:Good point.
Yes Nintendo does own it. Maybe the buddy-buddy relationship is just for this, so they can continue a series, and not have the big N pass it to someone else. They already lost one (Legacy of Kain) that ended up being a big hit, I doubt they want that to happen again.
beelzebozo said:then they need to use that sh*t.
Kittonwy said:If a sequel can make money for them, yes. If not, why should Nintendo use it?
Kittonwy said:My question is, is Nintendo still buddy-buddy with Dyack? Or is that just from Dyack's viewpoint?
Seriously I never really thought Blood Omen was that big of a hit until Eidos pumped some serious money into Soul Reaver, but by then Dyack was out of the picture.
Maximilian said:I like Eternal Darkness a lot. I feel it was an outstanding game at the time and have loaned to quite a few friends just so they can experience it. I'd love to play a sequel, though I'm sure nothing is in development as of now. I'm not impressed with what I've seen of Too Human, which is disappointing since it was originally a PSX game and has definitely been hyped up for years. I certainly wasn't impressed with Eternal Darkness in its earliest form either on N64, so we'll see (but I'm not holding my breath on TH). He really has been talking about the "universe" thing as early as he's been allowed to talk about ED, like back in 2001.
I just don't get the Dyack hate here; he's a really nice, creative guy who seems to work overtime to make a good game. He also goes outta his way to communicate with the fans. What's the deal? He's uh, fat? Like I'm sure all the folks who post at GAF are in great shape... :lol He hypes his games to death? What developer doesn't? Really. He betrayed Nintendo? OH TEH NOES!!!11 Did I miss something?
RumpledForeskin said:He was a active member here...no? Did he leave on bad terms or something? Also what if the game actually turns out to be great? I can imagine what you all will say about CliffyB if his game doesnt live up to the hype. What a turn off for other devs that might try to bring GAF some info from the horses mouth on there new project(s).
But they havent.Operations said:Nintendo could've sold back their ED rights back to SK, just like they did with Banjo & Kazooie.
FitzOfRage said:I would expect they managed to work out some sort of agreement for Dyack to talk so defninitively about it. They let Rare split with much more valuable franchises, so I don't see why they would try to sit on a flop like ED.
Yeah, they could always hand it to another developer, but considering how the brand is worth next to nothing to most people, they might as well start from scratch with an original IP (or relaunch one of their forgotten franchises) rather than saddling themselves with Dyack's backstory if they really want something in that genre.
he hyped Too Human to be God of War, DMC & NG killer in one swoop

Ahh, but if Nintendo gave Eternal Darkness over to Retro Studios, the series would suddenly become a fap-a-thon. Think about that. :lolFitzOfRage said:I would expect they managed to work out some sort of agreement for Dyack to talk so defninitively about it.
