Unless Precursor isn't going to relaunch the kickstarter campaign.  That could just be a ruse.

He is one employee, doesn't mean the company is bad.

Didn't mean to imply that the company is bad, just pointing out that they've got issues.

He is one employee, doesn't mean the company is bad.

Even disregarding the massive PR issue that company has now, they just lost presumably their game's main writer; game designer; and artist. Considering there were already little more than 12 employees in the entire shell company, losing such a major one is a huge blow.  And let's not forget that they still have Dyack, who hasn't exactly endeared himself to the gaming community, either. If this didn't destroy the company, it certainly set them on that path.  We'll see if they can recover from it.

It's hard to beg what fans you have to give you money when one of your employees is a walking PR nightmare and another (now former employee) was arrested for possession of child pornography.

They are not recovering from it.  Even if he is found innocent, it will be hard to recover.  No publisher will touch them...which means crowd funding is there only hope, but they can't get that off the ground either. 

They seem to just act like they are entitled to make the game.

Game is done sadly enough. After the kick starter failed the games only hope was to be picked up by a publisher. That however probably isn't an option in light of recent events.  Even before that I'm not sure anyone would want to get in bed with Dyack.

If they were to announce a PS4 tier I'd reluctantly back the game.  At this point the game needs be on every major platform that allows for Self Publishing to even meet its next kickstarter goal On that topic I wonder if they're going to push the relaunched kickstarter to try and let this controversy blow over.

Well, apparently, Shadow of the Eternals is a thing again. I'm not entirely sure how Denis Dyack pulled this off. Who is still giving him money and why? My current theory involves Dyack pledging his life to Xel'lotath or something.

Some details
- Dyack started Quantum Entanglement Entertainment to revive the project
- Shadow of the Eternals is apparently in development now and in addition to related TV and film projects; Dyack calls this merging of games, TV, and film "The Singularity"
- No platforms announced
- Still isn't Eternal Darkness 2

Who want to take the over/under on this latest revival failing?

Interesting how Denis Dyack couldn't manage to fund ONE video game without TWO failed Kickstarters, but could manage to scrape together the funding to form a transmedia corporation that is making that same failed video game along with other TV & film projects.

To say I'm skeptical of this little endeavour's legitimacy and life expectancy is an understatement as large as Dyack's ego.  Seriously, who's still giving this guy chances when he hasn't had a successful game since the PS1 era (remember, as much as we may like Eternal Darkness, it wasn't a big seller and Twin Snakes skated by on the MGS name)?

Probably true.
Until the game is on shelves or on Steam/PSN/XBLA/Whatever, I'm expecting it to fail.
And I won't touch it until it gets multple rave reviews.

After listening to the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast in which Dennis was a guest, it's clear to me that he is a man with some pretty cool ideas, but he seemingly has no idea how to focus on just one thing to see it come to fruition. It's a sort of "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" scenario. Instead of having a company focused on combining all of these different aspects of entertainment, why not just pick one aspect and do it really well? That's how businesses succeed. That's probably why he worked so well with Nintendo -- they helped him to focus on what mattered regarding video games. To try and combine all these different entertainment ideas and make them work, while a great idea in theory if done correctly, seems like it has an extremely long shot of succeeding, in reality. The name of the company seems rather fitting, at least.

Did Eternal Darkness need a "spiritual successor" though? Wouldn't it make more sense to get into bed with Nintendo to try doing an enhanced remake for Wii U at this point? or at the very least get the GC game up on eshop it doesn't have to be an emulation they have the original code and assets just port it to the Wii U platform and done. Six months tops.
Trying to be a better person, honest.

So there is a rumor that Nintendo is reviving a publicly cancelled game.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/189706-nintendo-switch/77491289


Nintendo still keeps filing trademark extensions for ED. Maybe they'll release it maybe they won't. They should at least release a port of the original for Switch. Preferably HD.

https://www.dualshockers.com/eternal-darkness-trademark-nintendo-switch/

It probably won't be whatever Dyack's team is called working on it. They might farm it out to some other studio. I'd rather see a sequel by some other studio than never a sequel at all.

I would do anything for more Eternal Darkness.

I played it to completion as much as any cube game not named RE4.

Someone speculated Silent Hills might show up. That was very publicly cancelled. Konami has a good relationship with Nintendo right now. Also, an almost adversarial relationship with Sony now thanks to scooping up Kojima.

I mean I will be buying Death Stranding, but a new Silent Hill game sounds great.

Oh man, PT, Project Hammer or Eternal Darkness? tough choice, but I think I would choose ED.

Well it was represented not that long ago with a Spirit in Smash Bros... could be just Nintendo keeping their options open.

There's actually a conspiracy theory that Silent Hills was actually never cancelled and that Death Stranding actually really is Silent Hills (and that it's all just been some crazy experiment/viral marketing scheme). It sounds crazy, but there's a pretty...somewhat convincing video on YouTube.
