Spiritual Successor to Eternal Darkness Teased, Denis Dyack Involved

The survival horror Gamecube game Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, released in 2002 and developed by Silicon Knights, was a hit with audiences and received high reviews from critics. Today, a teaser for the spiritual successor was revealed on IGN. The game, "Shadow of the Eternals," is from the creators of Eternal Darkness, according to the teaser trailer. Denis Dyack will be involved with the game as noted by a tweet from IGN staff. A studio named Precursor Games is attached to the game.
The end of the game trailer reveals that a crowdfunding campaign will be launched on May 6th, 2013. Given the development problems that Silicon Knights has been through in the past, I would remain very skeptical about donating any money to this project. Expect more details on the game and its crowdfunding campaign this upcoming Monday.
The sequel to Eternal Darkness has been long anticipated by fans since its release 11 years ago. Are you for or against a sequel to Eternal Darkness?

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 ‘Eternals’.
Featuring an ensemble cast of heroes and villains, Shadow of the Eternals 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 Eternals will take players on a memorable journey throughout time; weaving historical fact with disturbing fiction to create an experience unlike any other.

Nintendo plots Wii U resurgence with 3D Mario by October
Nintendo is internally lining up a string of high profile releases for the second half of 2013 as part of a major new bid to recover from Wii U's stuttering start.

Discussions with retail chains at executive level paint Nintendo's 2013 release strategy as extensive, with the headline draw being a new 3D Mario game released on Wii U by October.

Internal discussions have helped restore retailers' faith in the console, which has been hit by errors since launch. Global Wii U sales have fallen two million units short of Nintendo's original forecast.

The firm's current focus on 3DS, coupled with the relatively hushed PR and promotional campaign for the Wii U in the first half of 2013, had left some retailers questioning the platform holder's commitment to its new console.

However, one person close to the matter has said Nintendo's executive circle was not comfortable fully promoting Wii U until the release of the system's spring update. In January, Nintendo said two updates would arrive before the summer is over.

The first update, which launched in April, appears to have halved waiting times on various system loading screens.

The underpinning theory is that word-of-mouth discussion about Wii U has not been particularly positive so far, with many users complaining about system performance. However, it is hoped that the recent firmware patch (along with an apparent second one releasing this summer) will improve the user experience and help stimulate positive responses.

Now with many of the Wii U's launch issues behind it, CVG understands Nintendo is preparing a significant global Wii U marketing campaign.

Further to this, it was claimed by one source that Nintendo is intentionally holding back the release of some games - from Pikmin 3 to The Wonderful 101 and Wii Fit U - in order to bolster the second-half release list. However, a second source familiar with Nintendo's plans had denied the company is intentionally delaying game releases.

In April, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said the corporation initially intended to release "a few" Wii U games in the first half of 2013, but they were delayed because the company underestimated the development resources required to complete them on time.

A number of blockbuster Wii U games will be released from summer until the end of the year, one of which is a new 3D Mario title. Although CVG is not yet able to confirm what the others will be, a new Mario Kart will debut in playable form at E3.

The marketing campaign will commence at the Los Angeles event (although some claim sooner), where the 3D Mario game will also be playable on the show floor. The title will be released before October, pending development delays.

Shelly Pearce, the PR director at Nintendo UK, told CVG: "From July onwards we will launch a succession of Wii U titles and we will promote these extensively until the end of the year. Marketing activity will include TV, print, online and PR as well as comprehensive experiential and social media campaigns".

She added: "We have a strong line up planned for Wii U in the second half of 2013 including the likes of Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Wii U.

"We are looking forward to launching these in the UK and for the opportunity to showcase the full potential of Wii U."

Scheint also tatsächlich was dran gewesen zu sein an den Gerüchten/Spekulationen, dass Nintendo die WiiU absichtlich wenig bewirbt.
Ich freu mich jedenfalls wie ein Schnitzel auf die E3.

Wii U ist gehackt - behauptet die WiiKey-Gruppe

"Ja, es ist wahr", lautet die Ankündigung auf der Wiikey-Website. "Wir haben nun komplett die WiiU-Laufwerk-Authentifizierung ausgehebelt, sowie die Festplattenverschlüsselung, das Dateisystem und alles andere, was für die nächste Generation des 'K3y' benötigt wird."

Das behauptet die "WiiKey"-Gruppe, die schon für den ersten Wii-ModChip verantwortlich zeichnete - einen Beweis, dass sie die Wii U tatsächlich gehackt haben, blieben sie jedoch schuldig. Der "WiikeÜ", wie sie ihn nennen, macht's (angeblich) möglich: Dabei handelt es sich im Grunde um einen Emulator für das optische Lauferk, dass es Wii U-Nutzern ermöglicht, Wii U-Spiele von jedem USB-Medium wiederzugeben.

Nintendo erklärte hierzu gegenüber Eurogamer: "Nintendo ist sich bewusst, dass eine Hacker-Gruppe behauptet, die Wii-U-Sicherheit gefährdet haben zu wollen. Allerdings haben wir noch keine Berichte vorliegen über illegale Wii U-Spiele oder nicht autorisierte Anwendungen, die auf dem System im Wii-U-Modus spielbar wären."

Die WiiKey-Mannschaft antwortete darauf auf ihre Weise - und veröffentlichte ein paar Zeilen Code...

Rückblickend betrachtet war das letzte was ich für meine Wii gebraucht habe ein Modchip.
Die Hand voll Toptitel will ich eh kaufen und für den Rest der sich eh nicht lohnt, hab ich sowieso keine Zeit.

Wegen Frostbite 3 Engine: 15 Spiele von Electronic Arts nicht für Wii U

09.05.12 - 15 Spiele von Electronic Arts werden nicht für die Wii U erscheinen, weil sie auf der Frostbite 3 Engine basieren und die Engine nicht auf der Wii U läuft. Das geht aus einer Präsentation (PDF) von Stefan Boberg hervor, dem Technical Director der Frostbite Engine bei DICE.

Damit werden Mass Effect 4, Dragon Age 3, Battlefield 4, Need For Speed 2013, die noch nicht angekündigten Star Wars-Spiele, uvm. nicht auf der Wii U veröffentlicht.
