kinda hard to believe that Nintendo-yep, the Nintendo behind such kiddy classics as the Super Mario series, Punch-Out & StarFox-was able to concoct this digital descent to dementia! it'd been cool if one of the Sanity Effects woulda been a zombified Mario or Luigi chewing at the flesh of the corpse of one of his Mushroom Kingdom pals while you helplessly watch. too bad that Silicon Graphics got disbanded late last year, but we can still write Nintendo about a sequel.
@triplestar100 Yep, in fact I believe it was the first M-rated game that Nintendo published themselves. But I thought Silicon Knights (the game's developer) was still around? In fact I read an article not too long ago that they were looking to consider some "highly-requested" titles. Of course nothing confirmed, but we can dream :D
@triplestar100 "In November 2011, Silicon Knights Knights' claimed they wanted to focus on one of their most requested titles for the next generation of consoles. This combined with the fact Nintendo had trademarked the title once again, spawned rumours that another Eternal Darkness game would be made as a launch title for the Wii U."
@stevenbelmont Yeah definitely, some of them like the phone call from Edward will happen regardless, but I threw 'em in there just for the heck of it :)
@Cougarkit Yep! The "screensaver" pops up if your controller is left idle long enough and if your sanity is low enough. Pressing any button brings you back into the game
wait, i can imagine a fucked up insanity event. imagine a douchebag skeleton pops up at a door you need to get through, and demands you gather 5 random items or he wont let you pass.
I've never played this game. And I knew about that deleting files things. And even though I KNEW it was just playing, my heart fell into my stomach. Oh my GOD, I'd hate playing this game. I'd love to watch someone else play it whilst knowing all these tricks in it, however, heheh.
@Xalotha Ah yeah sorry about that, looking back it isn't that noticeable at first glance. I wish there was a way to boost the audio levels of the sound effects without also making the background noises louder.
@SuperHobbit89 It's ok xD Many of those I've never seen :o I remember when my friend played it at my house and both the audio and the tv thing happend. xD Very unique game-style. I hope they make more kinds of this in the future in other scary games.
The sanity effects are awesome. What more can I say? If I ever see this game on the shelf at my local store again, I'll definitely consider picking it up, despite seeing how everything would go in the game already.
@Westernden Hahaha, that was my reaction as well! Since it acts as a "screensaver" it only happens when your controller is left idle. I stumbled upon it one time when I got up to go to the bathroom.
I stopped watching right after #41. I didn't want to get scared again. O_O
If Silicon Knights does make a sequel, I'd like to see not only new sanity effects, like, say, monsters coming back to life the second you kill them, but also all the old ones come back with variations on some. Also, wasn't there a sanity effect where the game would "reset" and show the PS2 startup screen? Probably not. Probably my sanity meter in need of refilling...again.
@KG7777 Hmm, I've never seen it show the PS2 startup screen. The only "game reset" sanity effect I've seen was the one at #4 where it shows the Edgar Allen Poe intro screen
Ahh Silicon Knights made this. No wonder I recognize the sound effects from Legacy of Kain. Such a great game company. Completely underrated :(. Sucks that they're gone....
thanks for doing this. i'll be honest, i quite watching the LP after the... Charlemagn era guy.. i cant remember his name. anyway, the game seemed to start getting repeatitive for me. i was mainly watching for the awsome insanity effects. Silicon Knights was very clever with those. i love them!
and thanks for uploading this. now i can see all the fun sanity effects! :D
@Gefallener08 My pleasure! And yeah I can understand seeing it as a bit repetitive. Beyond a certain point it's not as exciting of a game to watch someone else play, and I suppose survival-horror games are tricky like that. Glad you liked this video though, this was definitely my most ambitious project yet
@mattmattmattm Haha, oh man I'll never forget the first time I saw that file deletion one. Definitely one of the most clever sanity effects in the game.
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!
