This is the ultimate in conflicted emotions. I want a new Eternal Darkness-styled game very very badly... but do I want to put up with more Dennis Dyack shenanigans to get it?

The teaser looks pretty dang good. I spotted Oublie cathedral directly taken from ED, a Hellish Chattur'gha-esque dimension, and the iconic sanity-draining monster stares.

But something feels kind of off about this reveal.

For instance just who are 'Precursor Games'?

Could this whole crowd funding thing be a sanity effect? THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!

I don't think Dyack's really to blame for Silicon Knights' shitty luck with their publishers

much less the quality of the games therefrom

Reading about the supposed Denis Dyack shenanigans within Silicon Knights just now, I'll pass.

No, he is very much to blame.

Love the first game so much. I don't play a ton of games anymore but I will play this!

Lulz. Nice one.

It's just a teaser trailer. I'm reserving judgment. I loves me some Eternal Darkness, so this could be totally awesome. Yes, Dennis Dyack is a bit of a toolbag, but hopefully the rest of the team can pull it off. They did it before. To the haters: may the rats eat your eyes! J/k. Seriously, though, it's difficult to judge with hardly any details or gameplay footage.

Actually, today IGN revealed a new 9-minute trailer that includes some exploration gameplay.

Also for anyone who wants to see this thing made, the crowdsourcing site just went up and is off to a healthy start. (and remember, if the project isn't successfuly funded you get your money back.)

Nice one, ocre. Still, not much going here. No combat, and little more than what we already saw in the teaser. That having been said, it FEELS like ED. Which is great. I'm cautiously optimistic. We shall see how the crowdfunding goes.

Speaking of which, I fixed your link.

They started a new kickstarter and now asking for 750K instead of 1,5M

It really looks great, I hope I won't regret my pledge

Any way, more details here for those who are interested :
