@@anarky1765 At this point he seems to be a shapeless mass, but can use his protruding mouths to grab his victims. But in his elephant form, which you can see in one of the bas-reliefs in Edwin Lindsey's chapter, he appeared to have scythes and hooves.
Chattur’gha’s cutscene where he is sent back to where he came from irradiates that feeling of: “Send him to Detroit” and he is just screaming and begging. 😂
Amen to that! It's a real bummer that it never saw the light of day on anything other than the GameCube because I would buy it in an instant if it ever hit Steam.
@@ThePostalGamer it is a very underrated game. Maybe the type of story was not very common when it came out and that is why they did not give it the opportunity it deserves. If they remastered it, the game would undoubtedly be a trend. in my opinion.
@@rodrigorosas6061 Mostly it was the matter of being a horror-themed, M-rated, brand-new IP on a non-portable Nintendo console with a really small install base. Pretty much nothing was in Eternal Darkness' favor for achieving any sort of financial success. As an interesting note, swap "brand-new" above for "4th installment of a beloved" and see how much it changes for Resident Evil 4. ED didn't crack half a million in sales at all, RE4 hit 320K in a week. And we wonder why everything big budget is a sequel.
Just played through this again on an emulator. The coolest insanity effect didn't trigger or course. The one that freaks you out that it knows what other games you've been playing. Turns out it just reads your memory cards to know. I wonder why a sequel never got made.
My favourite sanity effect will always be when the game pretends to delete your save data. It's too perfect with the progress bar and everything. As for a sequel, there was a spiritual successor planned called Shadow of the Eternals but it never got anywhere with its Kickstarter and ended up being cancelled, sadly. It's a real shame that Eternal Darkness is still officially stuck on the GameCube because just a remaster put on Steam would be absolutely magnificent.
Silicon knights were sued by Epic Games for illegal usage of Unreal Engine 3, which cost them 4.45m dollars and made them fill for bankruptcy. That's why there was never a sequel. Really a shame.
Eternal Darkness most of the game: Psychological Horror game Eternal Darkness end of the game: Blonde haired college student fighting a zombiefied gladiator while giant sea creature like eldritch horrors are fighting in space Love it
This is basically a pokemon fight system but with lovecraftian gods red/war defeats green/insanity Green/insanity defeats blue/mind Mind/blue defeats red/war
Really wish we'd gotten that spiritual sequel that was planned. If it had even been half as good as this game was, it would've been awesome to play. They need to remaster this game though. Give us to HD cutscenes and voice acting, 60 FPS gameplay, etc.
Mantorok while finger-tenting: Excellent! Everything's gone according to plan.
Does Mantorok even have fingers?

Found out about this today, and this is a wonderful video covering it. Love the structure and editing you’ve added.
This game was as ahead of its time as the Concorde jet was. The world just wasn't ready.
I would totally play this if it ever got remastered.
I love so much this game. It was one of the first console games I ever played and I loved it from start to finish.

Damn, that's a bummer. o7
@@ThePostalGamer Can you imagine someone going in blind to Let's Play the game on Steam, and getting the Blue Screen of Death sanity effect? XD

Love it
This is basically a pokemon fight system but with lovecraftian gods
red/war defeats green/insanity
Green/insanity defeats blue/mind
Mind/blue defeats red/war
Mind beats Body, Insanity destroys the Mind, Body overpowers Insanity.
Thanks for posting

1:21 Where Chattur’gha’s attack backfires!
i love pokemon its great
My favourite episode of the anime was the one where Misty's Tentacool systematically dismembered a Charmander with its portals!
Given how OP some of the Pokemon in the games and anime are this joke isn't too far off. XD
