Dang, I think I'll need to buy this now.
Having played the game I would say that while these are interesting items, especially the Shock Zapper. I would rather get more maps then new weapons.
Yeah the thing to keep in mind with Eternal Darkness is that there are numerous stories of how Dyack constantly had to be shot down by Nintendo in his changes to where they would only allow things they signed off on.
I'm not taking Eternal Darkness away from them but I would put it in the category of almost a Nintendo creation and not a Silicon Knights thing. Same thing happened with Kain and Metal Gear.
Julian, what about Denis Dyack to you actually support? I'm just curious as I never actually hear anything good about him.
I debated for a while between 1 and 2 stars to be honest. I went with 2 because the game from an execution standpoint works it just has an incredibly poor gameplay experience.
If I started falling through walls or getting stuck in glitches then I would of busted out the 1.
I still want Tecmo Super Bowl with Bo Jackson back
Based on Jon's impression it appears that not to much has changed from the first game. I consider this a pretty good thing as the first game was one of the most entertaining sandboxes I played. I am disappointed that the graphics appear to have not gotten to much of an overhaul though.
Fragging A chummer!
I really hope this is going to be something like a special co-op mission selection independent of the main campaign, sort of like Splinter Cell. I can't see how you can stick it in such a complex campaign where everyone was the main character.
