Une suite spirituelle à Eternal Darkness

Permettez moi d'être un peu trivial : dans la vie, il y a deux choses qui me font grave bander. Les jolies rousses aux yeux verts, et la perspective d'une suite à Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem, le formidable survival horror du Gamecube. Pour les rousses en ce moment c'est pas trop ça, par contre pour le jeu, ça pourrait s'arranger prochainement malgré les déboires de Silicon Knights. En effet, IGN a balancé aujourd'hui un trailer d'un jeu intitulé "Shadow of the Eternals" (wink), par les créateurs d'Eternal Darkness (wink wink)

Peu d'infos sont livrées avec le trailer, si ce n'est que le financement passera entre autres par un Kickstarter lancé dans 3 jours, qu'un studio nommé Precursor Games sera aux commandes, et que Denis Dyack, le producteur exécutif d'Eternal Darkness, mais également de Blood Omen : Legacy of Kain (et soutireur notoire de subventions publiques), sera de la partie.

Cependant, le cache de Google se révèle être une vraie mine d'or. Toutes les infos extirpées du net, ainsi que la vidéo, dans la suite. Merci Lutherian.

Pitch du jeu :

"Darkness has returned…
When Detective Paul Becker is called to one of the bloodiest gang massacres in Louisiana state history, only two survivors remain from a brutal conflict between two rival cults. As Becker begins his interrogations of the suspects, their combined recollections will uncover the truth about the ‘Ancients’.
Shadow of the Ancients is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Reqiuem. Featuring an ensemble cast of heroes and villains, the game will span over 2500 years of history throughout Egypt, England, Hungary, and the United States. Players will question the perception of reality as they try to balance the mechanics of combat, magick, and sanity events to progress through the adventure.
Shadow of the Ancients will take players on a memorable journey throughout time; weaving historical fact with disturbing fiction to create an experience unlike any other."

But du Kickstarter:

"Shadow of the Ancients will be an episodic series, and to complete the first episode and continue production on future episodes, we need approximately 1.1 million dollars. Any money raised beyond this will contribute to future episodes, additional characters, in-game perks, and additional platforms. The more money that we raise, the more we will deliver based on what our fans want."
