I never finished this game as a kid. Still hoping they drop it on the NSO
One of my all time favorite games 😛
Oh man I'm excited for this one. This is the one horror game I truly feel got absolutely robbed. Easily my favorite hidden gem in horror of all time. I'm well aware that it had a troubled development and horror and gamecube was just not the combo, but I'm curious to see how much deeped you've dug into this.
If anyone can do it, its Night Dive
Skeletons shouldn't be fighting! 😉
YAPI YAPI YAPI YAPI
I have fond memories of this game. Despite the GameCube launching over 25 years ago 😮, I still find it hard to consider it retro 😅. In my mind, retro conjures up images of 2D games and sprites from the SNES era
This game is one of my all time Survival Horror games, so unique and I love the plot.
What Happened will return in Eternal Darkness 2 Sanity's Redemption
I'm pretty tired of the first person view in the majority of games, especially today. Good thing that Eternal Darkness never came out with such a perspective.
6:39: "Internal" Darkness?
MYTHIC BREAKFAST PULL 🤍 this was one of those games I never got to play as a kid (dad had it), but ive come to appreciate it later in life
I wish this game had a remaster/remake.
I see Eternal Darkness, I click.
+💯
I personally loved Eternal Darkness when it was released even with all the problems it had. It's just a guilty pleasure for me to play sometimes.
@9:11 The "camera system" they used to differentiate themselves from Resident Evil is pretty much the same one from Resident Evil Code Veronica released 2 years before to Eternal Darkness 😄
Probably my favorite horror game ever.
Pargon pargon pargon.
Sounds more like they wanted to say "We don't want to make kid friendly games".
It is beyond criminal that this game never got a sequel.
Night Dive needs to do this one and The Suffering respectively
I freaking loved this game! Silicon knights was on a roll.
This is still, since the day i played it my top 10 favorite video games of all time
Jesus Silicon Knights cutting ties with Nintendo because they thought the Wii was gonna be a complete disaster is one of the worst video game industry decisions of all time.
If any games deserve a remake, it's Eternal Darkness and Legend of Dragoon.
Canadians are always fumbling the bag.
I didn't like this one. Received high praise at the time in the mags so I gave it a shot.
I played this for the first time recently and didn't really get on too well with it. I am a bit surprised it has such critical acclaim if I'm being totally honest. Maybe one day I'll go back to it and something will click for me.
Either way though even if I didn't love this game to death I can think of few other properties that deserve another chance more than this. The creativity and passion here were definitely special and it's crazy so few (if any?) have tried to replicate its systems and concepts. So sad what happened to the devs.
I was never really a Nintendo kid but somehow I got ahold of eternal darkness and a game cube and it was magical.
Hearing those two "yes"s out of that interview leads me to only one conclusion; they wanted to make those games, but didn't know how to do it like Zelda did. Especially with the handicap of the wiimote. And man let me tell you, nothing sells quite like confidence.
I heard rumors of the guy hanging for years, and finally got to see it. Thank you.
This game deserves so much more than it did, it unfortunately came out at a really bad time honestly with circumstances beyond thier control. I hope Eternal Darkness gets remastered in the future, it deserves to be experienced by today's gamers and have a second chance to reach a new audience.
This game was glorious. And awful. But mostly glorious.
This was a fun game.
That Sanity mechanic was pretty epic for its time.
When Concord
It's kinda amazing how mid Nintendo's second party developers became the moment Nintendo let go of them. Shows you how much the Big N played in the development of their games, especially with SK confirming Nintendo coming over to polish up Eternal Darkness.
A perfect cult classic of its time. Even if we never get another like it, they gotta throw this up on the Switch or something. Really a gem worth experiencing!
I do feel like doing a direct port on NSO for Eternal Darkness would make sense plus adding in a dedicated remaster with previously cut elements and new content added as a Switch/Switch2 exclusive would be the best idea for getting the most out of the cult classic and not fight with Nintendo more than they should because putting ED on non Nintendo hardware would make them have a stroke since they own it and they hate sharing their toys.
Matt your getting close to 3 videos in 1 day across all channels! Your work is appreciated my freind,
It is nuts that Nintendo can just refile a trademark for an IP they don't use, or seem to care about. Sad.
The game really did turn out to be awesome, regardless of it's history and bumpy start.
I learned about Lovecraft's work through this game, after all.
So I guess we won’t get Pious Augustus in the next Smash Bros
I hope it gets a remaster or digital release-release someday; I’ve never played the game, but I think it deserves to be made available for those who are interested in playing it or learning about the game and its unique spot in Nintendo’s history.
Been watching a live stream about this game the last few weeks. This is a welcome discussion. 😀
Loved this game
This game is a masterpiece and deserves a graphical update.
Weird game, I expect a resident evil type game, but it's 90% flashbacks. The protagonist looks like oddly like Buffy.
