| AbbathTheGrim said: That doesn't make sense, Nintendo as developer doesn;t have or never had any involvement in the development of the first game. The game was actually under the hands of Dyack who produced, directed and co-wrote the game. Silicon Knights now with the layoffs and possible demise before the dispute against Epic Games will now be a shadow of its former self. There isn't much info on how Precursor Games is conformed, at least I couldn't find anything. I wouldn't be surprised if PG actually ends up picking some people from Silicon, but regardless, with Dyack in charge, this sequel could pretty much be the closest thing fans could get to a true successor of the first game. |
Yes it does. Nintendo owns the copyright on Eternal Darkness, and sanity effects apparently but that is such a broad term it would be hard to enforce. He was speaking in the hypothetical situation presented by the OP that IF Nintendo made Eternal Darkness 2, and IF Shadow of the Eternals reaches its funding....and both came out around the same time....he would buy Eternal Darkness 2 over Shadow of the Eternals.
The specific details of how they would get it does don't matter as it is a hypothetical situation that likely isn't happening considering he had to be approved as a Wii U developer. Since it has a planned Wii U release (and not, we'll add it if it reaches such and such stretch goal) they likely already have a dev kit, so Nintendo knows it exists and likely wouldn't allow it if they were making ED2.
