Nintendo Gaming / Re: Happy 20th Birthday Eternal Darkness

« on: July 31, 2022, 07:33:44 PM »

For you Eternal Darkness fans - are there any spiritual successors that come to mind? 

Well it's already been 10 years, but I really wish Shadows of the Eternals had got funded.

I'm pretty sure if it had been funded, it would have been one of those projects that died anyway...or turned out like Mighty No. 9. Dyack's inability to put a team together and keep them there since Silicon Knights is pretty well-documented at this point. Considering all the projects that came after Eternal Darkness, Dyack doesn't seem to be an altogether competent game designer and project lead.

As for Eternal Darkness successors, there aren't really any other combat-focused cosmic horror games that aren't really about combat (aka "Not Bloodborne"). Probably the closest I can think of in tone is a PS4 & PC game I recently played called Song of Horror, which is a puzzle-centric horror game with an unkillable dark presence that randomly comes after you as you try and break a curse. The game is genuinely unnerving you explore, solve puzzles, and deal with the Presence as it stalks you. I should get back to that game at some point.

You could be right. It looked like they had a lot done. SuperMassive games seems to have picked up the torch of what Shadows of the Eternals was going for as far as episodic content. The only drawback is Eternal Darkness had better gameplay. I enjoy the choose your own adventure stuff that the Supermassive game series' have but you know... I like chopping up zombies with a sword limb by limb. If I could have both that would be nice. I was interested in House of Ashes because it had a similar concept to Michael's story in Eternal Darkness, but I got taken out of the game by the lack of realism or understanding of military ****. I just got the Quarry, I haven't played through it yet, but the prologue was pretty good. It felt back to good form.

I don't envy the position Ryan Coogler is in. It's in a similar position that JJ Abrams was in following The Last Jedi. I hope it's really good and he doesn't get a lot of backlash and hate when it comes out because this show must move on.

I missed it by a few days. But Eternal Darkness was released June 24, 2002.

I just thought about it recently looking through ai generations of Cthulhu medical illustrations. Which reminded me of Edward and Maximilian Roivas.

Every time I've had Wagyu I've always thought it was just over-hyped.

My Aunt runs a dairy farm. Because of this she has cows that are meant for making milk that is used to make cheese. Every once in a while her cows get slaughtered. Her cow's meat tastes way different and I really like it. Also Buffalo doesn't taste as special as advertised either, though Angus does taste a bit different and is pretty good.

And all this of course is in hamburger form where it's all ground up. I imagine steak form is going to be notable.

If you ignore the details that Bruce isn't sure who his parents killer is in The Batman, The Batman fits as a followup to Batman Begins. The Dark Knight and The Batman are both year 2 batman films. That's the main thing I didn't like about the Dark Knight Rises was how they shelved Bruce for several years. I liked the movie, and it had some cool bits, but the idea he didn't do anything for several years meant he didn't do a lot.

I just bought a 256 GB USB stick for $20. I also bought a 4TB External Drive for $89.

Also, DAL-E 2 is a thing.

You give a computer a prompt and it autogenerates several versions of the prompt in 20 seconds.

A frog in a cowboy hat


Where's Waldo in the Style of Salvador Dali


Donktapus


A different take.


A watermelon turtle walking a tighjrope



Photo of an oversized grizzly bear delivering a pizza


A dog surfing a wave of spaghetti.

Also GPT-3 I had like an hour long conversation with the thing.

I was worried about the late swing unfortunately drawing attention to us, so I'm not terribly surprised at this result.

Myself, I'm a little more concerned about the other two people who tried voting for me. TOPHATANT123 has been sticking out his neck to make votes so I'm more inclined to think he's innocent, but ThePerm has been pretty quiet aside from voting for me.

Vote ThePerm

I keep forgetting this game is ongoing.

In Discord you said "Day 2 is up" which is confusing because I interpret "up" in relation to time as "over" as in "Your time is up" and was like "well that went fast"

but then I realized you meant "uploaded" "posted" or "active".

I re-watched season 4 just so I could remember what was happening. My DVR self deleted the season, and they only now put it up for streaming. I'm almost caught up to where I was.

There is also the Golden week holiday in Japan. April 29-May 5th.

March 3 was when Switch Launched. (Friday)
March 4 was when Playstation 2 Launched  (Saturday)
February 26 was when 3ds Launched. (Saturday)

If Nintendo follows the same strategy they did in 2016-2017 they can just repeat it. Announce it in October 20, 2022 and release it on March 3, 2023. Which, would be the 6th year anniversary of Switch.

NES(Famicom) and SNES -  7 years, 4 months, 6 days
SNES and N64 - 5 years, 7 months, 2 days
N64 and GCN -  5 years, 2 months, 22 days
GCN and Wii -  5 years, 2 months, 5 days
Wii and Wii U -  5 years, 11 months, 30 days
Wii U and Switch -  4 years, 3 months, 13 days

Switch release through today - 4 years, 7 months, 11 days

November 2022 is 5 years 8 months.
