Hi Bryan, Yeah, right. I was getting Eternal Darkness and Silent Hill reversed. Silent Hill is the game for the Play Station. Eternal Darkness was for the Nintendo Game Cube. Thanks for unfuzzing my brain. Lol!

Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...
since we are on the subject of console game and accessible games in general, I would like a game like the hidden and dangerous series, you are a soldier, but you can command your tank, but also any enemy vehicles/bases you capture. Speaking on the console front, I have found that starwars lego 1 and 2 with sighted help is good, I play with my cousin as a team, I shoot and he pilots. As well as this my cousin is into this series called wrachit or something like that. You are I think either a soldier or a robot, you have different missions, and simulations on your ship. You can buy upgrades to yourself. You earn bolts, which is the cash in the game. Everything from the stuff you find, money and other items to your points you score earns you cash. Everything you kill will convert into cash imediately. I'd like to play something like that.

Hi, Silent Hill is good, but it can't hold a candle to Eternal Darkness. Eternal Darkness is freeky in that as your sanity meter drops the weirder the game gets. Blood starts streaming down the walls, bugs show up on your tv screen, the music gets weird, and so on. All I can say it is just all around disturbing.

Hi Bryan, Well, seeing as voice acting for audio games is usually done by volinteers we can't exactly hire the best voice talent around. The only company that came close was Bavasoft, and I think they got some college drama students to do that. Bryan Peterson wrote: You'd also need some darn good voice actors to make it convincing.

Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...
Oh yeah, there was a sanity meter. Some characters had longer santiy meters than others but once it depleted enough you would start seeing and hearing some really disturbingthings. The gamewas someties classified as an RPG but it isn't really, for one because you don't get a party of characters. You just have one character that you control for each chapter, though you do get a different character in each. The game takes place in four or five different lcales, though in quite a few different time periods over the last two-thousand years or so. So several characters will visit the same location at different times. I actually have the game for my Game Cube and it's definitely awesome. It's the only game that's ever come close to giving me nightmares, which Resident Evil and yes, even Silent Hill, failed to do. - Original Message - From: Shadow Dragon elementalult...@hotmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 1:51 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...

Oh yeah, there was a sanity meter. Some characters had longer santiy meters than others but once it depleted enough you would start seeing and hearing some really disturbingthings. The gamewas someties classified as an RPG but it isn't really, for one because you don't get a party of characters. You just have one character that you control for each chapter, though you do get a different character in each. The game takes place in four or five different lcales, though in quite a few different time periods over the last two-thousand years or so. So several characters will visit the same location at different times. I actually have the game for my Game Cube and it's definitely awesome. It's the only game that's ever come close to giving me nightmares, which Resident Evil and yes, even Silent Hill, failed to do. - Original Message - From: Shadow Dragon elementalult...@hotmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 1:51 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...

Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...
Hi Folks, I was cureious about this Eternal Darkness game and did a google on it. Here is a review: There have been quite a few attempts at video games based upon Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, but they never seem to make it to the market. Although Eternal Darkness is set within its own little universe, it borrows heavily from the mythos, and Lovecraft's influence is readily apparent. The game begins when your character, Alexandra Roivas, decides to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding her grandfather's death at their ancestral mansion. Through an absolutely brilliant plot device, the player is able to take control of many of Alex's ancestors from ages past and several other characters from all over the world. Each of these chapters help the player piece together the mystery and reveal the hidden agenda of a group of extremely powerful and malevolent entities. Gameplay is very smooth. Holding down one controller button allows you to lock on an enemy target, and with a flick of the control stick you can aim at specific body parts. Some baddies fall when they are decapitated, some you have to take apart limb by limb before they will fall. As with most third person games, camera angles are fixed and sometimes problematic, as you may find yourself being disembowled by some horror just off screen. Combat is relatively well balanced, and the puzzles in the game find a way to be interesting without being terribly difficult. the graphics are quite good, many monsters can be on the screen without any noticeable slowdown. The monsters themselves are quite detailed and look great, but they don't vary a whole lot towards the earlier part of the game. The magic system is very cool. You must find runes of power hidden throughout the game (often inside of monsters). Each rune corresponds to an alignment, an effect, and a target. By mixing and matching the runes, you can create many different spells. There's also a large variety of mundane weaponry to collect and to toss a beating with. Each of the characters you control seem to have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some are excellent melee fighters, some excel at throwing spells. Some have a ton of health, while others are quite fragile. By far the coolest aspect of the game (and the part that perhaps owes more than a little to Chaosim's Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game) is the sanity system. Everytime you undergo something hideously supernatural, you lose a little bit of your mind as you struggle to grasp the situation. This manifests as hallucinations, both visual and audial. You may get an unexpected phone call, or have a horrible vision of your own demise. This effect is truly very creepy. I've already had statues come to life and watch me cross an empty hallway. I've seen walls bleed, and bugs crawl across my television screen. There are several ways to regain your sanity, but sometimes it's just fun letting it fall a little bit to see how creepy things can really get. the sanity meter makes the game. when you face certain zombies they lower your sanity level; you can regain some of it back by killing them- but not all. once you're near the end of your sanity blood will start dripping on the floor, the camera angle will be tilted and the background effects become more spooky. Resident Evil may have been an inspiration for Eternal Darkness, but it is a poor comparison. This game is truly a wonder to experience, and definitely a killer title for the GC. It's worth every penny. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...
Speaking of games set in the Cthulhu universe. I really wish Cthulhu Nation was playable. It'd make for a great game, from what I've seen, which isn't much. The developers want to make it accessible, but they don't know how. They want us to tell them how, but I honestly have no idea as to how it could be done. I thought I'd just say something about it since we're discussing Eternal darkness.

Exactly. I'd love it if a developer took it on him or herself to design something along those lines.

Hi Bryan, Well, given the fact that Eternal Darkness is so freeky with just the audio, let alone the vidio, it should be more than possible for an audio game developer to create a line of horror games along the same lines as Eternal Darkness. In fact the lack of vidio, all audio, could be seen as a plus by some gamers. After all what is more terrifying than being alone in the dark with something evil after you? Bottom line I guess a lot would depend on the developers skill in creating a very spooky audio environment. For me the music wouldn't be a big problem.

Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...
You'd also need some darn good voice actors to make it convincing. Unfortunately that's one area where I've noticed a lot of audio games seem to fall short. That's one thing you can't afford in a psychological thriller like ED or Silent Hill. - Original Message - From: Jen mysticrain1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 7:41 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Eternal Darkness was wii, xbox 360...
