Eternal Darkness 2 = A Possibility
Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights recently said there's a "strong chance" for a sequel to Eternal Darkness to be coming. (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/14/dyack-strong-chance-that-eternal-darkness-will-return/)
Dyack: 'Strong chance' that Eternal Darkness will return

You know, it's a funny thing about adjectives in the video game industry. Final Fantasy is never actually final, the company that made Cabela's 4x4 Off-Road Adventure III was called Fun Labs and with its one appearance on GameCube, Eternal Darkness seemed to be anything but. Silicon Knights boss Denis Dyack provided some hope however yesterday, while speaking at Microsoft's Spring Showcase.
TVG reports that Dyack said "We don't want to be pigeon-holed [into a genre], we want to be known for strong content...There's a strong chance we'll return to it, but there's no announcements yet." It's not much, but if you've played the game we know that's enough for your day to be officially made. If you haven't -- what are you waiting for?
Denis Dyack possibly to step down
Rumor has it, Dyack might step down from his current role of Head of Silicon Knights, namely to work on creating IP's and working with existing ones (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/14/dyack-may-step-down-as-head-of-silicon-knights/)

Are they still doing Too Human or is that trashed?

Too Human is actually moving along and I think should come out sometime this summer.
Problem is it doesn't look all that interesting. It more or less looks like action game in the vein of Devil May Cry, which is fine of itself, but all the videos lack the fluidity that modern action games like that need to work. It does have some cool looking art at least.

I dunno', it looks like it has potential. I don't think it's going to nail what it wants to quite as perfectly as it would like, but there's still some cool foundational work done for the game. The story and setting has potential if done right, and last I heard some guys that checked out the game said that while not perfect, it was pretty fun to play.
Also, I'd totally be down for ED2.

I couldn't get into ED... I still have it, the combat just didn't feel right to me.
