Horror classic Eternal Darkness gets a sequel in Shadow of the Eternal *WiiU-PC*

GameCube horror classic Eternal Darkness gets a spiritual successor in Shadow of the Eternals. 

The campaign for Shadow of the Eternals will launch on Monday May 6th, seeking a $1,500,000 to develop the first part of a 12-episode series.

Featuring an ensemble cast of heroes and villains, Shadow of the Eternals will span over 2500 years of history throughout Egypt, England, Hungary, and the United States. Players will question the perception of reality as they try to balance the mechanics of combat, magick, and sanity events to progress through the adventure.

Shadow of the Eternals will take players on a memorable journey throughout time; weaving historical fact with disturbing fiction to create an experience unlike any other.

The game will run on CryEngine 3.

The crowdfunding campaing has launched.

I assume no insanity meter either, since Nintendo owns that. Heil68

As the game is planned for WiiU as well, maybe they made/will make some sort of agreement with nintendo.

Link to Silicon Knights saying they never recieved any money

I was just posted why some people think they shouldn't give him money.

[QUOTE="jhonMalcovich"]

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]Because he used tax payers money to fund a game he was working on but it turns out he wasn't getting anywhere with it.

Oh. Ok. But  Denis Dyack is not the one who's calling the shots in this project. He´s just a chief creative officer.

Yeah we know. We had 2 threads on it already. No one really seemed to care when they heard denis dyack's name

There is an insanity meter in my fav boss fight in WoW, see my profile pic, so i don't think they own it

Insanity meter isn't trademarked by nintendo. The thing was and IS present in all the Cthulhu RPGs, long time before the Eternal Darkness game.

Nintendo also has the patent of the effects of that meter it all depends on how the developer implements it so it wouldn't be copyright infringement.

Why would they put this on the WiiU? Seems like a waste of development money to start with. I would keep it on just the PC first and see if it gains any traction before porting.

[QUOTE="Razor_defiace"]

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]How was it implemented because Nintendo owns only one type of Sanity Meter; If the other developers could find a different way of implementing it to get a similar result then they can still use the insanity meter.

If WiiU gamers put their money into the pot as well, then I don´t see any problem in this. And they should because WiiU doesn´t have many games.

They want to get attention from Nintendo, so that they get further funding or game contracts from the looks of this.

I don´t think so. They just want to reach their goal making the game availabe for a wider audience.

Nintendo doesn´t look like doing much recently. They just sit there and wait until WiiU sells enough copies to start doing something. :P

This is NOT good if nintendo is not supporting this. In fact seems like the game does not even have a publisher yet. You would think with Nintendo owning the rights to the old game they would make a new one.

Silicon Knights were supposedly working on Eternal Darkness 2 before they went under. They might of wanted to save what they were working on unless Nintendo is getting another developer to develop it.

I know Dyack isn't a fan favorite, but keep your eye on this one, folks.  Eternal Darkness was a great game.

Eternal Darkness was awesome. And so was the twin snakes.

But look what turned out when they didn't work for Nintendo or Kojima. Their only game this gen was awful, it was a complete disaster. :(

Can they recreate what made Eternal Darkness so great and unique ?

They opened a Kickstarter page as well. Thanks god they got into reason. No way they could raise what they ask from their web site.

Is this a western made game?bbkkristian

I'll be getting it for the PC. This is exactly the type of game Nintendo should work on making exclusive imo.

I don't give a sh*t about Bayonetta 2, but it's things like this which may have promted me to rethink my ideas on the Wii U.
