Silicon Knights is currently financially mired in the train wreck that is Too Human, its doubtful we'll see Eternal Darkness 2 much ales the trilogy that was promised. I'm worried that if they do make an Eternal Darkness 2, it will be a rushed effort in order to make a quick buck to dig them out of their financial troubles.

Perish the thought. You are probably right but- perish the thought.

Oh yeah, it's definitely more of an atmosphere than a gameplay game. I know people say "gameplay first!" with a lot of things, but that's not the case with horror games. Think of it as an experience, rather than an action game. =P

I've been remembering what it was like to play it, and it was definitely very hard to get into. You should force yourself through the first few guys (you'll see what I mean..) before you judge the game, as you might be doing yourself a favour.

If they rush an Eternal Darkness sequel I'll run to the Silicon Knights HQ, burst through the door and scream "May the rats eat your eyes!".

The game is definitely worth getting if you have a Gamecube or a Wii, and an interest in other types of games than the ones Nintendo usually makes.

The game is basically an extremely heavily Lovecraft-inspired horror/action game, made with the quality you'd expect from Nintendo. There are some cool insanity effects (don't ask, you'll just spoil yourself), and a mostly epic plot, but a lot of the gameplay elements really annoy some people.

Oh, and you play as Buffy. =P

Have you played Alone in the Dark, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or any other even remotely horrorish game? It's tough to say if I think you'll like it unless you tell us a bit more about your tastes.

Ok so I wasn't the only one thinking the recurring main character looked SMGish (Buffyish)!

I like the other characters too. I loved the idea that not all of the characters played the same. And that the story can do some wild things with your characters---

Like the 1st character in the game for instance.

Ooooh, you've played it already. I really fail at reading comprehension, but I guess that's allowed since the time is awfully late.

*runs off to bed in order to avoid futher stupidity*

The game was pretty great though. =P

Wasn't that  a Maximillian Quote. The voice acting in that game was wild. Listening to his research notes on the different monsters in the game was kind of creepy.

Eternal Darkness is one of the best games of all time in my opinion. I play it regularly. Even now I still sometimes come across a sanity effect I had never seen. And, yes, they game tricked me and my friends several times. That was part of the brilliance of it.



I know you believe you understand what you think I said but I don't think you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Reading Comprehension Faux Paus happen to everyone. Don't hide under the covers in shame.

 I'm willing to bet Nintendo would foot the bill if they'd make ED2 for the Wii.
