yeah, those dudes only update their site after e3 and to announce new games, in my experience...they update their site even less often
than Rare.


They haven't even updated since Metal Gear was announced , I believe.   And I still find it fishy that the Nintendo logo is present on their site.  But oh well, I guess we'll know what the hell is going on soon enough.

Secretly, I'm hoping that the announcement is SK has a hand in developing Revolution and that's why there have been no game announcements.

EDIT* There's a rumor that Konami's big news on Jan. 27th is the purchase of SK.  That's almost just as bad as Microsoft buying them.  Konami offers no support to the GC.  Maybe SK will change that...still sucks if true.  God I hate Konami

If I recall correctly whenever Matt referred to SK, he said that we havent found out the full story about how SK and Nintendo agreed on future business. If they just simply split up and SK would no longer develop for Nintendo GCN (like Rare) or there was no special business relationship at all, it wouldnt make any sense to make it seem like theres more to say.
Well, one more month and then we will see. Maybe, this SK move changes hardly anything, and was just done because it made sense economically in some strange way that I wouldnt understand.

Actually, Matt and Fran are heading over to Silicon Knights for a few days and they will post their report in February. He likely doesn't know much about what he will find out... Of course the "real story" will be part of it but I think the main reason will be do reveal whatever SK is working on.
However, I think the fact that it's Fran and Matt making this trip and not Hilary or someone speaks for itself...

so does anyone else think there's a chance they been working with Nintendo on the Revolution, or is that just wishful drinking?

I think it said the split between the two.  But there is something deifinitely weird going on.  Had SK been purchsed by MS, surely the rumors would be constant.  Now all we get are the occasional fanboy rumors.

If MS purchased them we would have found out since MS isn't exactly quiet about their potential successes. They'd have boasted SK's aquisition since two months before the deal was even struck. Besides, MS is publicly traded and it wouldn't be hard to find out where MS is putting its money.

Well Nintendo and other companies are publicly traded... Personally I don't think Matt and Fran of all people would be heading over for a little visit if it didn't have something to do with Nintendo. And there's no evidence suggesting otherwise. All we have is that SK is no longer exclusive to Nintendo.

Well, yes but announcing that you lost a dev isn't exactly good for your stock price, is it?

to be honest, I dont think that MS would see much of a reason to buy SK
unlike Rare, they were not really sucessful, and a game like ED wouldnt necessary appeal to Xbox gamers in my opinion

I personally believe that whatever now happens, its highly unlikely that SK has split from Nintendo completely

btw didnt matt once say they would take down the Too Human preview from the server?
apparently its still there, no I might be wrong, but I thought he said something like that
anyway, this is likely to mean nothing

I'm starting to really think that SK just isn't a company anymore.  Dyak is now a higher up at some NA based Nintendo developer.  Its probably a big exec change up and a nice raise for mr. Dyak.

Well I think it's more likely that SK went the Retro route and has been melded into a first party rather than have been merged with, say, NST...

All we have is that SK is no longer exclusive to Nintendo

I don't remember anything of the sort being said...All that's been said is "SK is no longer a Nintendo second-party" and "SK will continue making games for Nintendo systems"...

I don't remember anyone saying Silicon Knights would still be developing for Nintendo systems.  Just that they wouldn't necessarily not be developing for Nintendo systems.
I speculate that SK is working on a PS2 / GameCube release of Too Human.

Um Bill, where have you been? How could you possibly not know that SK is no longer exclusive to Nintendo? First of all, no one mentioned the word "second party" during the break up and they also never said they would continue making games for Nintendo systems. All they said is that they are no longer Nintendo exlusive and that they will not reveal anything about their projects or what system(s) it's on.
Perhaps you need to get your news from Gamespot and not Nintendo fansites trying to twist the words to their satisfaction
SK breaks exclusivity with Nintendo

Um, where have YOU been?  I've been quite aware of this announcement ever since it was announced...I'm just one of those people that isn't gullible enough to believe in every piece of news on the interweb...

So you're not going to believe the specific comments from Dennis Dyack and Nintendo? o_O Gamespot doesn't post things unless it's official, so saying you don't believe it because your not gullible is pretty foolish.

Then I'll be foolish, but I'm not going to believe it until I have actual hardcore evidence outside of Dyack saying "Um, we left Nintendo because " and nothing new since...

Our relationship with Nintendo is still strong, and it's possible that we may develop games for Nintendo in the future.

Asked if today's news meant Silicon Knights would not continue to develop for Nintendo platforms, Denis Dyack said: "No it doesn't. It's possible that we may do another game with Nintendo, actually.

From another "reliable" news source, IGN.  And your comment about gamespot posting only posting true stories is broken, they were the first to post about the PSP rumoured price point of $400 here in the US from Tokyo Game Show, but then removed the story no more than 30 minutes later.

Yeah exactly, they removed it.. The only reason they posted it was because it was from TGS.. it might have been an inexperienced editor or something, either way they realized they shouldn't have posted it. Anyway I never doubted the possibility of them making Nintendo games, in fact I've been saying they're still working on a GCN game forever, i'm just saying that they never said they ARE working on a GCN game. Of course, they never said they were working on a PS2 or Xbox game either, but they did say they aren't exclusive anymore.

which means they will definetely be releasing games for other system
I just hope Nintendo is smart enough to secure exclusivity for Too Human
but, I guess we cant speculate or even hope on Nintendo doing a smart move
