Are SK actually making anything at the moment? As in, a project that has not been cancelled?
If not, Dyack please. Give me some more Blood Omen.
assuming you even still own any rights to it at all, which lets face it, you probably don't.
Nintendo could use something like Eternal Darkness 2 right now. Though I don't blame them for not giving Denis Dyack any money.

Wait no, the relevant Kotaku article (it's a good read if you haven't read it) implies that the ED2 demo took a year and was two rooms.
Nintendo needs more western internal studios, but silicon knights ....

Wasent ED2 all but confirmed to be in development, but as soon as epic won that case, we started hearing about it less and less?

If they were making it, it was seemingly without a publisher attached.
Which sounds exactly like the kind of crazy bullshit Dyack would do.

Why internal? Seems like Next Level Games type of deal has worked them quite nicely with them and Monster Games. Both studios are now making games exclusively on Nintendo platforms.
"This is the reason for the extremely high quality games that SK built a reputation on," says one source. "Nintendo was going to put their name on the game, so it had to be 'Nintendo quality.'"
I know it's cool to hate on Silicon Knights/Dennis Dyack, but I really wish they were still making games.

There's no way they were actively working on it.
The "demo" they showed us for their kickstarter was the exact same demo they showed Nintendo years ago.
They may have been saying they were working on it, but not like a real studio works on a game.
Can someone explain to me why on gaf abload.de is so popular? Damn is so irritating! It's slow, puts an ad over the image and when i close it it opens a window with ads!
Please gaf use something else!
How is Silicon Knights still in existence? Makes absolutely no sense, unless they are siphoning all that money they got from the government a few years back

Eternal Darkness was the same. Apparently the game was crap until Miyamoto flew over from Japan and made major changes to the gameplay.Obviously i wouldnt totally trust an anonymous source, but a lot of people have been saying that since too human happened
Hahaha this is quite different from your typical cancelled game thread. Why do people hate Silicon Knights?

Use adblock? I never had that happen to me using abload.de.
Edit: I guess he links to a page instead of the direct link. I can see your point there.
I really wished ED2 was a thing by now. I doubt we'll ever see it though.
Probably best to not pigeonhole either Retro or Next Level. Looking at the projects they've worked in, they're nothing if not versatile.I loved ED, but i dont see how it can be a true sequel without some part of the original team, even if Next level games or Retro were making it, it may be very good but also too different, unless there was some sort of collaboration, and Nintendo would probably want to invest in other things
Maybe a remastered version

ED is highly regarded for its word and characters not for its mediocre gameplay. Unless Miyamoto came up with the ''sanity effects'' system, he couldn't have improved the game much.Eternal Darkness was the same.

It's too bad that Shadow of Eternal's kickstarter failed. That Kotaku article with no named sources really destroyed Dyack's reputation.

I know it failed, but what's the update on their Kickstarter hopes for Shadow of the Eternals?
Wait no, the relevant Kotaku article (it's a good read if you haven't read it) implies that the ED2 demo took a year and was two rooms.
Which were most likely the exact same 2 rooms (or so) they showed off in the Shadow of the Eternals demo.
The whole thing makes me sad... ED was one of favorite games I ever played. Easily one of Nintendo's best second party developers. Just think about the games Silicon Knights and Factor 5 would be producing today for the Wii U. What a shame.
It's sad, but it's entirely F5/SK's fault. Why anyone would effectively shit in their food bowl like that can't have any business sense.The whole thing makes me sad...

"Hey guys, let's move our focus over to HD development. Sure our projects will cost 9x as much to produce, sure we're throwing away our Nintendo safety net, sure no one knows who the hell we are on these other platforms...but it makes so much sense!"
