Shadow of the Eternals Kickstarter Failure Could Kill Game

[The_Darkness]

Eternal Darkness had subtlety - the slow screen tilt, the changing background music, the way you wouldn't recognise a sanity event until halfway through it... That freakishly terrifying knocking on the doors...

I've yet to see any subtlety in what Shadows is offering. Yes, there was a sanity effect, but it was big and explosive with walls falling away and monsters and lava and a scary eye and everything! And we've got a woman to explain everything to us about this creepy book! And Voice-Acting EVERYWHERE!

Okay, I'll stop now.

I was excited about this when I first heard about it, but the trailer/gameplay segment that they showed off didn't impress, and made me believe that they would fail to capture why Eternal Darkness worked in the first place. So Shadows won't be receiving my money.

Kinda sad... the medieval lesbians could have been interesting...
Though not with my money on the table.

I think it is a great thing that this won't be funded. After the whole Too Human - Epic mess, and then the X- men thing, I'm glad this won't have the opportunity to sour thousands of people off of crowd funding. Better to petition Nintendo to make a real sequel.

I don´t care that much about Shadow of the Eternals, even though i hope they succeed on behalf of the company. I played Eternal Darkness and i can´t really see what´s so special about it, there were so many great horror games in the ps2 era and i just don´t see Eternal Darkness as one of them, it seems like it´s mostly succesful because it was the only horror game (which wasn´t Resident Evil) available on GC.
