Mods, feel free to close this if need be, but when I saw Silicon Knights' name in another thread title I felt the uncontrollable urge to ask the question: Now that we've had some time to mull over the rumors from months past, what does everyone think they're working on?
Is the "highly requested sequel" Dyack hinted at, in fact, a return to Mantorok and friends? Could a WiiU Eternal Darkness 2 be in our future, perhaps utilizing the UPad to display the titular tome like an iPad ebook, leafing through the flesh-and-blood pages with swipes of your fingers to easily reach inventory and spells? Or maybe the UPad could be used for (hopefully more subtle) sanity effects? Is Silicon Knights, in the wake of recent layoffs and financial troubles, even in a position to create such a game in the first place? Is SK being a licensed WiiU developer, or Nintendo renewing the ED trademark a couple years back, reason for hope? Or is it just some new Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain game and all my hopes are for naught (though I know many of you would like such a thing)?
I feel nostalgic for bloody bodies in bathtubs and men in powdered wigs... for 10,000-eyed fertility gods festering in old Cambodian tombs... for "CHARLEMAGNNNEEEE!" Surely I'm not the only one who'd like to see ED be this year's "DKCR in 2010?"
