Dyack is incompetent and I hope Nintendo never trusts him with a serious project

One source described SK president Denis Dyack as a man who has "repeatedly stated to the company that artists are ‘a dime a dozen' and can be replaced."

Former employees also described that Dyack refused to read the game's design documents, its script, or play any builds of the game himself

He gave the company a 20 minute lecture on the fact that he'd never buy a grey truck; he wanted it painted red." Accordingly, some SK employees sniggered behind their backs at Dyack: "We jokingly coined the phrase ‘paint the truck!' for other ridiculous, off-the-hip ‘executive orders' that sprang forth from Denis' mouth," says the same source. "Incidentally, I played the game after release... the truck is still grey."

"He'd abandon the project for three months at a time, say ‘everything is good' when it's obviously completely broken, then come back again in a month and yell at everybody."

 [There was a] boardroom meeting with Denis Dyack, prepared proposals to address Activision's comments [about the shortcomings of the current build of the game] in-hand," says another source. "Instead of us making a plan together, Denis stated that he wished no one had seen that list, because he didn't want to address it at all."

Honestly if that situation did happen I would buy both.

It is definitely a bit of a mess, but hopefully Monday clears some things up. I've said it a few times here, but since Nintendo owns the copyrights and this has a planned Wii U release, it is likely they knew about it before the announcement. Before you can say you are going to bring something to the Wii U, you have to get certified by Nintendo. That process has become much easier, but I still believe you actually have to have something to show and can't just say, "Hey Nintendo, I want to make a game. Please send me a dev kit. Here's a bunch of money." Most other crowd funded things get a Wii U release as a stretch goal that would cover the funding of the dev kit ($3-5k).

There was a screen grab of the main page that surfaced and it showed that about 10k had already been funded which would cover the cost of 2 dev kits if that was even needed. I hope this gets funded as well....Eternal Darkness was such a good game. I usually don't like episodic games, but considering that funding will net you all of the episodes, I'm okay with it. My main issue is paying for the full game in piecemeal...so this would alleviate that problem.

If it doesn't get funded.....I hope Nintendo pulls a Bayonetta 2 and either funds what is left and nabs some exclusive stuff, or buys the game outright.

If they can't get the ~20,000 donators it would take to fund ED2 given typical average donation per person, doesn't that show interest is so low that it doesn't justify Nintendo development?  They're not a charity for diehard fans of a niche franchise.

Precursor's project rather precludes Nintendo from having to do anything because Eternal Darkness was niche enough that those who really want a successor will be aware of this game, and perhaps buy it, without Nintendo having to do much on their own (though should throw a bone to a western developer willing to work with them, though, and give them some help or something)

That's true. Just my personal dreams, that's all. 

In theory the same could have been said about Bayonetta but I guess sales were high enough of the original to justify funding the project

To answer OP's question...
I would laugh...
And then I would purchase both games...

The sales weren't good enou, but Nintendo knows that the gameplay is good enough and they can advertise it as a new Nintendo IP which will help sales big time, and there's the digital downloads to further help sales.

Whatever he meant, that is unlikely. I would like to see Nintendo trying to do a horror game. Actually, I would like to see if Nintendo actually puts forward the intention of making a horror game as developers.

What makes the WiiU versions superior? Tell me what makes those version boring when the core gameplay is the same and the tablet is only used for the gimmick of switching weapons/watching maps/scanning stuff, etc.? What makes the experience better? You just say: "It's better, it's better" but that's just an opinion you can't even put into words to defend and let through.

You are just trying to praise your system. Power to you if you enjoy your system that much. But there is nothing in the WiiU that will assure that a third party game ported to different consoles will be superior in the WiiU when the other consoles have the upper hands in terms of power, and specially the PC which has almost limitless power. Only thing will be the gamepad which may make the experience "different" if implemented with significance, not necessarily better, with significance and not as is the case of the games you meantioned, and specially ME3 which is sooooooo in need of the gamepad that you can play the WiiU version with the ProController.

But no, let us say that you are saying that these game versions are superior because of your impartial reasoning, right? You came to this conclusion by playing those games and making a cold and an impartial pondering of what the games have to offer, right? What was the experience of playing Lego Batman 2, huh? How much did you enjoy it? You haven't even played it yet because that game has not even released, yet you call that game superior when you don't even know how that version will turn out. You just want to praise your WiiU. lol

But, if those games are so great, tell me, in which platform did you play or plan to play Batman Arkham Asylum and Mass Effect 1 & 2? Because, as you know, those games are not available for Nintendo. Moreover, if you think those games are great, what platforms are you thinking on buying next gen if things keep going like Iwata has accepted with third parties and sequels to those games don't show up for the WiiU?

Oh I definitely agree that it is unlikely. Nintendo co-owns the Fatal Frame franchise now, so it's entirely possible that they are planning to make another one of those using the gamepad. That shit would be terrifying.
