Silicon Knights on Xbox & More

[Bond]

From the EGM rumor mill:

A game of epic proportions
People in the know are telling me that Tecmo isn't the only one jumping on the Xbox 2 bandwagon. Epic Games (of Unreal fame) is currently pounding the development pavement on an Xbox 2 launch title, supposedly of the third-person-action variety. Want a sneak peak? Apparently the pics posted on Epic's developer site, unrealtechnology.com, are early work from the game. Wicked.

Sega makes some new friends
You've probably heard by now that acclaimed GameCube developer Silicon Knights (Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes) recently left the Nintendo round table. So what are they up to these days? Word around town is that Silicon Knights is joining forces with the house that Sonic built. And get this - their top-secret project for Sega is an Xbox game. Talk about giving the big N the stink eye....

Of course I'm sure Silicon Knights is now awful too... just like Rare.

Yeah, they ****ing suck man. Used to be awesome, now are horrible.

That was not a yes or no question. Who does "they" refer to?I think there might be a few exception.

They've really gone down in quality lately. Seriously, compare Twin Snakes with Eternal Darkness.
We don't miss such a crappy developer. M$ can have them. I don't care.






Hehe ;)
I think that their games are more Xbox-like anyway. I'll miss them, but hopefully we'll get some games on the N5. :)

Well, SK never actually severed ties with Nintendo. They just got rid of the 2nd party exclusivity to develop for all 3 consoles. So hopefully this gets an Xbox/GC game. If not then oh well.

And Rare and SK don't suck. Rare is kind of on a hiatus still to release the game that defines what Rare is. And SK is still going strong. They got a few good games out the door to show the industry what they can do, then said F*ck you nintendo...we going 3rd party.

It's a big loss for Nintendo. Rare put out one good game every 5 years. SK managed 2 already, and still had Too Human in the works. Hell, Too Human may still be in the works for all we know.

But SK + Sega? :D :D

nintendos response.... "gamers dont want 3rd party developers anyway, they want connectivity between gamecube and your tv remote!!!"

Ahh, another crusing blow to GC's games marketing twoards people above the age of 11. Damn Them!!!

[GameKinG]

ED was ok, they arent that great, not as good as Rare by any means.

[Canyarion]

But now I have to point at the fact that SK's games this generation did better than Rare's games... :sneaky:
