New Artwork Appears From Canceled Silicon Knights Projects Including Eternal Darkness 2

eternal_darkness_2_artwork_1

Shiggy from the NeoGAF forums has posted a ton of artwork from a range of canceled Silicon Knights projects. Some of the most interesting batches of images come from the canceled follow-up to Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube, Eternal Darkness 2. Some of the artwork was shown when Shadow of the Eternals was revealed. That game was delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding on Kickstarter. You can check out all the artwork, right here.

  1. That’s the type of art style I want to draw in. They look fantastic :)

    I do hope they announce that Nintendo is publishing Shadows of the Eternals because that game looked amazing on the Wii U.

  2. A game that should have been funded (Shadow of the Eternals) but no people just want retarted 2D games on the Wii U yet they barely sell.

      1. And what does Xbox make?

        Call of Duty
        Battlefield
        Fifa
        NBA
        Madden
        Assassin’s Creed

        Sooooo… Your point fails.

          1. …. Wow, you are angry that Sony lied to you.
            Sir, I’m sorry you got cheated out of getting a superior handheld (The 3DS) but there is no need to take it out on people.

            Also, most of those games are generic… just saying ;)

          2. Seriously. I mean I see the point and I’m a Nintendo fan but it goes both ways. Cod is do stupid haven’t played in years since mw2. Battlefield it’s a better shooter but still. Abd madden, fifa, nba are sports games of course they’d going to bee the same. You can’t add a course abd think it’s going too change but what about Mario? Oh because he’s your god so he’s untouchable fuck off

      They wanted too much money. Everyone funded as best they could and it wasn’t enough. Plus, there were too many people that didn’t trust the guys to do the job. Everyone hated that Denis Dyack guy.

    1. You are desperate now, aren’t you? Mario Kart 8 does amazingly well and you end up getting butthurt… sad life you live

          1. Nintendo is my Blood

            he was entertaining at first, now he is just pathetic and annoying, so Sickr do me a solid?

            1. True, after the failure of his last video and Nintendo exposing him wide open, he’s comments have been less funny and more moronic, I think he just needs to go back to school.

          You’re the one who is delusional if you think Polygon is right. They’re just pulling a Michael Pachter on everyone. Just another so called “analyst.”

          1. Even if EVERYONE who bought a wii u bought mario kart 8, it’d still be one of the lowest selling rehashes to date.

            Stop being delusional.

            1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

              Apparently you haven’t heard about the bundles of Wii U & Mario Kart 8 being bought. Oh well. You believe what you want, & I’ll believe what I want. In the end, I don’t really care who is right since it won’t lessen my fun with MK8 any less.

              1. Mario kart 8 will not sell a million wii u’s.

                Also nice cop out, If you don’t actually care in the first place, then why even bother responding? It’s not like the question was addressed to you.

                Ah well, i’ll go play some Sonic’s all star racing. Shit’s better than any mario kart i’ve played.

    2. And the last real home console Zelda was in 2011, yeah dawg Nintendo likes to milk the shit of zelda

      1. Yeah, Activision is TOTALLY not milk call of Duty or anything I mean the last Cod was in 2013 and now we are getting a new one this year… oh wait…

          1. cod 1 genre.
            Mario, about 4.
            each genres are FEW YEARS BEFORE NEXT ONE……some being EVERY GEN.

            1. Mario having 4 different genres (probably more if you count parties and sports) is kinda proving his point that nintendo is milking the Mario franchise. CoD is being milked in that we get one every year. Activision isn’t making a CoD Kart racer just for the sake of getting another CoD out there. Mario is getting milked in that we get a Mario game pretty much every year in the form of a golf, tennis, sidescroller, or actual 3d game.

              1. Problem is…. most of those games end out turning great. Call of Duty… not so much.

                So yeah, Mario isn’t technically milked.

            2. Mario (and company) as a character might have been “milked” throughout the years BUT in a good way. it is nothing comparable to the level of Cod and AC.

              In a first place Mario is the brand’s face and people expect his games to appear in every Nintendo console,

              We might see the Mario character repeated in a lot of games but as people pointed out these games are actually different from other Mario games. Some types only appear one per console generation.

              Third and most importantly, Mario games (and Nintendo games in general) are probably among the highest quality games a gamer can play.

              They should not stop (EVER) making their “traditional” games, There is a reason why Nintendo has been around for so many years. Personally, I would only ask them to be more ambitious.

          2. Yeah, because Mario is generic like CoD even though hardly any game comes close to Mario… I’m sorry but you are just trying way too hard.

            Probably because you know Mario Kart 8 is a success and you’ve been proven wrong.

    Ugh! Nintendo needs to make an Eternal Darkness 2 before their trademark of the name runs out! I don’t want Eternal Darkness to be the name of some crappy 3rd party game!

    1. Xbox One = TV, TV, TV, TV, TV, TV, TELEVISION, TV, TV, TV, TELEVISION, SPORTS, SPORTS, SPORTS, CALL OF DUTY, CALL OF DUTY, CALL OF DUTY, CALL OF DUTY.

      PS4 = Killzone Shadow Fall, InFAMOUS: Second Son, Order 1886, Video games, TV Features

      Wii U = Games… *drops mic*

  4. i have a relieable sourse from nintendo that the next zelda game will be called the legend of zelda shrimpshield

    So it has officially been confirmed as “cancelled?” Originally, the last thing I heard from Silicon Knights was that they would slowly be working on the Eternal Darkness spiritual successor for a long time until it was complete. Guess they just let it die out..
