I am most interested in what level of R7xx GPU they're using in Cafe.

Same. Anything from Retro that isn't Donkey Kong has my money. Nothing against the job that they did, but none of the DK games have appealed to me before. ED is one of my favorite games ever.Mashing said:I will lose my shit if that ED2 rumor turns out to be true.

Wait WHAT ?
ReyVGM said:I don't know why are you getting exited about a possible Eternal Darkness 2. If Silicon Knights doesn't do it, then it won't be at all what you remember or want.
Let me explain.
The gameplay/control/whatever of Eternal Darkness sucks. It just isn't fun fighting anything in that game. Plus, the whole getting tired and swords clashing with the walls, albeit realistic, doesn't make the game fun.
What is amazing about ET is the atmosphere, the locations, the story, the Poe inspiration/references, the cool (but now tame) insanity effects, the MUSIC and everything else that doesn't have to do with the gameplay or controls.
So if Retro makes Eternal Darkness 2, the only thing that could be improved is the gameplay, but everything else will go out the door because Eternal Darkness is Dennis Dyack's baby and Retro won't be able to match the amazing atmosphere that game had.

I thought the combat was great. Being able to cut off specific body parts, which had good or bad effects depending on the enemy and what you wanted to achieve, added a nice layer of depth to the combat. Dead Space re-used that concept to great success a generation later.ReyVGM said:The gameplay/control/whatever of Eternal Darkness sucks. It just isn't fun fighting anything in that game.

The game Retro is making is a new Star Fox. Which is a game people have been asking Nintendo to let Treasure/Retro make one. No one has asked Retro to make a Eternal Darkness 2.

The mechanics were way too shit for me to stick with it for longer than two or three hours. It was torture to play and I found the narrative to be less than compelling, shall we say.disappeared said:What it lacked in mechanics, it made up for in theme and spirit. It was genuinely atmospheric and really tried to do things no other game had done before.
ElFly said:The controls were pretty good, a great improvement over resident evil < 4. Of course, they don't make sense in the post RE4 world, but whatevs.
ReyVGM said:I don't know why are you getting exited about a possible Legacy of Kain 2. If Silicon Knights doesn't do it, then it won't be at all what you remember or want.
Let me explain.
The gameplay/control/whatever of Legacy of Kain sucks. It just isn't fun fighting anything in that game. Plus, the whole getting tired and swords clashing with the walls, albeit realistic, doesn't make the game fun.
What is amazing about LOK is the atmosphere, the locations, the story, the Poe inspiration/references, the cool (but now tame) magical effects, the MUSIC and everything else that doesn't have to do with the gameplay or controls.
So if Crystal Dynamics makes Legacy of Kain 2, the only thing that could be improved is the gameplay, but everything else will go out the door because Legacy of Kain is Dennis Dyack's baby and Crystal won't be able to match the amazing atmosphere that game had.

Penumbra/Amnesia does the same psychological thing much better. Eternal Darkness 2 would only pale in comparison to them, even if it was improved mechanically.
ReyVGM said:It's funny you mention "post RE4" when in fact, RE4 had the exact same control scheme as all the other RE games. It's just that the camera angle was different and thus, people felt the controls were different too.
But...
You still walk by holding Up. You still can't strafe. You still have to stop to shoot. You still have to hold R to attack. You still move like a tank.
ElFly said:The camera makes a huuge difference.
Huge enough to say the controls are different.
Mama Robotnik said:Crystal Dynamics made Legacy of Kain 2 - Soul Reaver, and it became the best selling game in the series, with an endless stream of rave reviews. Crystal Dynamics approach was very different to Silicon Knight's original LOK, but they built on its strength's, expanded its lore in intelligent and imaginative ways, and implemented their technological expertise to fix all the flaws of the original.
Suffice to say, what you are saying is impossible, has already been done.
You're forgetting that you could finally fucking aim in RE4, instead of just down, middle, or up.ReyVGM said:It does make a huge difference, but the controls are NOT different.
By the way, I'm not hating on RE4. I love RE4. It's the only game from last gen that I played more than 5 times. But I can't be delusional about the controls, because they were exactly the same.
... Zelda Informer is the last place I would go for ZELDA news&Rumors (so is Zelda U. Zelda sites are like Zelda Fans ... avoid them), why would their Retro Rumor from no where be creditable in the slightest?BlackNMild2k1 said:I've compiled just about everything here: Rumor Consolidation 2011
I'm double checking the links to make sure they all still work, but here is the one for Retro making ED2: http://www.zeldainformer.com/2011/0...ct-cafe-title-is-eternal-darkness-2.html#more

Plus didn't Retro say they were working on something that people have been wanting them to work on for some time now?

ReyVGM said:But Legacy of Kain 2 was nothing like the first one! I might have been a good game on its own right, but it was no LoK1.

My point was that even if ED2 did happen and it was better mechanically, it will never be able to compare to those games anyway. It just seems like a franchise that should be left dead.disappeared said:Keep in mind that ED was in development for years and years up to its release in 2002. We've had nine years since then to take what it tried to do, and do it better. Sure, Amnesia did it better, because it came out nearly a decade later. But ED served as a precursor of sorts.
But I'm getting off topic here.
I think its either a new IP or a zelda Spin Off. People have been wanting them to do something new forever and people have been talking about Retro's Sheik game forever.ReyVGM said:Yes, Star Fox.
Andoru sama!!

Krowley said:Yes, but most of them come from stephen totilo who apparently has a really good reputation as a game journalist. I can't speak for him personally, but a lot of people on the board piped up to give him props, even those who don't like Kotaku.
