Former President Of Silicon Knights Announces New Entertainment Company, QE2

I'm not holding my breath.

@Yoshi_Prime Was about to say the same thing.

Boy, this guy never learns.

He's certainly persistent, I'll give him that.

Just focus on Shadow of the Eternals and bring it to Wii U already, we don't need some lame movie and TV show to go with it.

When will Dennis realize that the community reached saturation point with his BS years ago? When ewill investors? I mean, how on God's Earth does he continue to acquire good-faith funding for his indulgent drivel?

I like what Silicon Knights used to stand for, but this guy's delusions of grandeur are beyond oft-putting, to say the least. "The Singularity"?

Sure thing Dennis, you keep on keeping on.

Pretty harsh how everyone who has commented this far have already 'determined' how this will all play out. I'd select my word carefully because sometimes (not always) people learn from past mistakes and pull off a result that can redeem their legacy. Don't kick a man who has been down and has obviously continuously let down; you are more than capable of mistakes yourselves. Wait and see the result, then reach your conclusion. Sometimes eating your words is humiliating.

I hope it works out and this thing gets made, and is awesome. Eternal Darkness was a masterwork.

With that said, for the same reasons I never went into the kickstarter: I don't believe they'll pull it off.

SO he didn't get crowd funded and decided that the best thing to do was go bigger!? This guy is nuts, but as long as I get the game and it comes to Wii U then I couldn't care less what else he is doing with his time

If it ever happen it should be on the U. I'm not going to say only on the U but it is after all following a Nintendo game. I can see this some how skipping the U with the lack of third party support.

People "demanding" this should be on WiiU are abit like those people demanding Bayonetta 2 on PS4 / XBox1. It's a lost cause.

Devs must go where the money is, and right now it's NOT on WiiU. If this thing happens at all, it'll be on PC and/or Sony/MS consoles first. There's no reason at all this should be on WiiU, even though the "spiritual successor" was a Gamecube game.

Also, people keep asking for more adult / harcore etc games on WiiU, but the thing is - you guys don't buy them! (And neither do I - but I'm happy with just Nintendo produced games The other stuff I get on PS3 (soon PS4) or PC.)

@Extremist You wanna make some sense anytime soon?

Nintendo should buy the rights as some people stated.

just do a VC of Eternal darkness, since we know that what we really want!

There is money on the Wii U table. Six million consoles before Mario Kart 8, starving for quality games. There are whole genres waiting for someone taking the monopoly. Not horror so much, as there is the Fatal Frame, but you could make pretty attractive horror game on Wii U. Just imitate the Siren series gimmick, and you already have so tempting game, that people are buying system for it.

@Zach777

You are clearly not informed as to how much of a douche this guy is.

Is this guy even aware of the costs associated with making a film? Dude couldn't even fund a small indy game twice, and now he thinks he's doing that plus a movie?

Am I the only person who isn't that concerned about Dyack's shenanigans and rather surprised at the fact there is a new company now? I mean, what did become of Precursor Games, the ones whom were actually working on the Shadow of the Eternals game?

How does this guy keep coming back?

@HopeNForever If I remember correctly 1 of the guys on the development team was a paedophile.

I really hope Shadow of the Eternals happens. I don't care about any controversy that happened in the past; the first Eternal Darkness game was a classic and I've love to see this new game finally happen.

I wish you haters would shut up and let the man develop the sequel to one of the finest horror games ever made.

There are actually people with taste in good horror, and Wii U doesn't have many good games in that genre:

• Project Zero 5 is only out in Japan,
• Master Reboot is not out in my region,
• and then there's Lone Survivor and that's all the good ones.

Shadows of the Eternals is anticipated by psycho horror fans that want a deep and creepy story.
The Resident Evil's and ZombiU's just don't cut it anymore.

Somebody needs to put Dennis Dyack, George Broussard and Michel Ancel together in a room. These guys have clearly lost sight of what a video game is supposed to be.

@SKTTR I agree with you that Eternal Darkness is 1 of the best horror games ever made but that was a long time ago now.The chances of this being anywhere close to being a worthy successor are slim,especially without Nintendo there to help them.Chances are with the new direction they've taken it wont even see release on the Wii U anyway.

I wish Nintendo would just make a move on "Eternal Darkness 2". A spiritual successor would be great. A successor would be infinitely better. Get some talent on the job and put them to work!

Lets be honest, we all know this isnt going to happen, and even if it does it'll end up being something for a mobile phone, the guys full of you know what.

So Precurser Games went belly-up? For the better I presume, Shadow of the Eternals was going to be violently overproduced had it ever got off the ground.

I would trust Dennis to make good game if he gets to do things how he wants to, but very few moneymen seem to trust him at this point. Not sure why the players are ganging up on him though, if he's done anything criminal that's for the law to handle.

Denis dyack has sullied his now mis-spelled name too far. It carries instant disrespect and no credibility. Which is a shame as it was his name that brought us legacy of kain, eternal darkness and the best version of the best metal gear game ever made.
Dennis dyack to one side, Nintendo NEED the bring us Eternal Darkness 2. Maybe even outsourced to QE2 with Nintendo running production and direction. A game on a par with the evil within for content but with the brilliance and originality of eternal darkness is something the Wii U could definitely use, and as an exclusive would be even better. Third parties are lacking, but when nintendo hold franchises that are as good, if not better that other consoles third party offerings, why leave them moth-balled????

2015 e3 I want nintendo to announce "the year of hardcore" with announcements in the line of
"starting with Zelda Wii U the proceeding 12 month period we will be bringing Eternal Darkness 2, F-zero Project, 1080*, hardcore shooter developed with treasure exclusively, monster hunter 4, new project IP from retro studios,and a few more "

Benefit of doubt... ED still is one of my favourite games ever, and a Wii U sequel (or remake/3ds port) would be welcome. But the way they seemingly want to blow it up, makes me afraid they'll simply... Well, blow it up.

Ooooh!

Points for tenacity, but I think his reputation is irreparable at this point. Good luck sir.

I completely expected this game to get made regardless of its failed campaign. I didn't think they'd try to create different media outlets to combine with the game though. Interesting, at least.

Err yes we should abide this man's persistent idiocy because there's an off chance he might someday create a game, that however great, will never reach the level of it's predecessor...?

How about we just let him fade into Eternal Darkness, eh heh.

Some people just don't give up... Ah well maybe some day he will realize that people simply don't trust him.

I think Dyack is still in denial over the reason why the original Eternal Darkness turned out as good as it did.

ED was brilliant because Nintendo was riding the absolute crap out of Silicon Knights to make sure it was quality, even involving Miyamoto in its development. Without someone more involved overseeing the product, SK turned out stuff like Too Human (okay but not great) and X-Men Destiny (pure garbage).

Why can't the developers of Shadow of the Externals just ask Nintendo to develop and publish it with them? You would think that would be the obvious solution yet it isn't

@Pod Read the article that gage_wolf linked should answer your confusion.

I will never be excited for Eternal Darkenss so long as his name is attached to it. I just don't believe this mans ego can hold any company together.

@AJWolfTill
I still have no personal reason to take beef with him. If he manages to produce a good game again, I will buy it.

Just do something already lol damn we've been waiting long enough. I just remember being scared back in the day and id love to recapture that feeling for the sequel. Though didnt this get cancelled do to lack of funds from the kick starter..
