The second crowdfunding attempt has ended with a thud.

Shadow of the Eternals has failed to reach its funding goal on Kickstarter.
Planned to be the spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, the Shadow of the Eternals Kickstarter campaign only managed to make $323,950 in pledges, far short of its $750,000 goal.
This was the second attempt by Precursor Games to fund the game through Kickstarter, after the first was cancelled.
The game was originally scheduled to be published for the Wii U, along with the PC and PS4.
Nintendo should pick this game considering they need all the Wii U games that they can get at this point.

I guess you can't edit posts in this forum. I made some typos that should have been Eternal Darkness I pressed backspace and it deleted most of the word. Stupid autocorrect.you can't edit posts in certain threads because someone decided to abuse that power...
You can edit posts, just not in TalkBack. There was some unpleasantness that led to that ability being taken away.otherwise known as one guy decided to mess everything up so instead of patching the exploit he used were just going to punish everyone.
I don't see how a spiritual successor to what amounts to a forgotten game that maintains a cult follow mostly because it was released on the wrong system and was doomed to fall short of sales projections is going to do much for the Wii U.Was anyone expecting that? Most games target a specific audience and that's exactly what Shadow of the Eternals, like Eternal Darkness before it, strived to do. It may not have lit up sales charts, but it still could have been a decent game. Right now, there's really nothing on Wii U in the genre. I agree with insano. It might be worth Nintendo picking the game up and rebranding it Shadow of Eternal Darkness or Eternal Darkness: Shadow of the Ancients. I don't think they will, but I think it might be worth it.

Considering Dyack was found guilty of copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of contract, I doubt Nintendo will ever want to work with him ever again.
This is the same reason why Precursor Games can't reach their Kickstarter goals because nobody trust Denis Dyack anymore after all the **** he's pulled.

The people have spoken.

...but what are they saying? Is it distrust of the people making the game? Disinterest in the franchise/idea it's based on? Unwillingness to support a Wii U-based project (which seems pretty reasonable given the size of the install base)?

Funny, I was thinking this would be better:
