Perhaps Silicon Knights went to 3d Realms?

Well I've been hearing things about Konami aquiring SK, but for some reason that just makes me chuckle.

Speaking of Konami... today's the 26th....

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #102 on:** January 26, 2005, 12:02:51 PM »

but why konami? it just doesnt make much sense to me, obviously MGS3 was better than MGS:TT
and based on MGS:TT why would Konami be so keen on buying SK

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #103 on:** January 26, 2005, 03:41:03 PM »

Because MGS:TT was better than MGS1 and MGS2.

Doesn't mean it's happening though.

or konami is dealing a rare..they found a western subsidiary that has proven itself safe to work with their content.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #105 on:** January 29, 2005, 10:28:55 AM »

OK it doesn't matter since it's just a fanboy rumor... Konami is not buying Silicon Knights.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #106 on:** February 01, 2005, 12:03:55 PM »

well, its february now and we will soon find out the "real story" behind it

Gamefreak · « **Reply #107 on:** February 01, 2005, 01:01:04 PM »

actually it's more like the end of feb...

That's is probally what they are going to do so they can inflate hits to their site and charge more of advertising. At least that what I would do, broadcast that there will be a news item that the fans will be interested in then hold it off and keep them coming back. But the only other thing I whould do is but something else interesting on the site so it keeps them coming back after the news item was posted.

The only update is that Silicon Knights has filed for a trademark.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #109 on:** February 09, 2005, 10:29:24 AM »

that obviously cant just be the only exciting news
atleast i hope its good news for cube owners or nintendo fans
I highly doubt matt or fran or whatever would make a trip for nothing

GameCube Advanced, sourcing a German website, says that a Canadian newspaper says that Silicon Knights is working on the XBox2, and only the XBox2, not the Revolution or PS3.

odifiend · « **Reply #111 on:** February 09, 2005, 03:43:09 PM »

Well, hopefully it is only due to the fact that Revolution dev kits aren't out...

Mmmmmmm, third hand news. Does that make it any more credible, like those leaked Xbox2 specs?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #113 on:** February 10, 2005, 04:52:08 AM »

Well, EA is currently developing for the XBox 2 but not the PS3 or Rev, does that mean anything?

Let the race for next-gen shuvvellware BEGIN!

With Great Powaaaa comes great responsibility.

Meaning, with better tools and hardware, crap games can be made with even greater ease! WHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHH

Gamefreak · « **Reply #115 on:** February 11, 2005, 11:23:52 AM »

In fact, NO ONE is developing for PS3 or Rev, cause there ain't any dev kits

It means that if anyone was waiting for some secret title that they have been working on for the past 11 months, and think that it'll get revealed along with the Revolution at E3, they're gonna be waiting for a long time.

We can all develope for XBox 2...just develope for windows and your basically there. =P

Gamefreak · « **Reply #118 on:** February 12, 2005, 04:00:04 PM »

dude quit being so stereotypical.
Any developer will tell you developing for Xbox is not much more like windows development than GCN is. It's just a myth fanboys came up with cause Xbox started as a PC.
The name of the parts haven't changed but it's heavily modified.
In fact the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (the card that saved ATI, developed by ArtX based off their GCN chip) is more like the GCN GPU than The Geforce 3 in the Xbox is like a real Geforce 3.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #119 on:** February 12, 2005, 09:22:06 PM »

Pale: Um, no. MS shipped out G5 Macs as preliminary dev kits.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #120 on:** February 12, 2005, 11:01:39 PM »

Accually you can develop for any of the systems right now. You guess guess about what specs the systems will run and start from there. Then once more is revealed you can start to shape the game around the console. (One of the many reasons why 1st gen 3rd party software is a little.. subpar.)

either way, if Matt wants to be timely, he'll have his gdamned SK feature up Monday night

Or else...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #122 on:** February 27, 2005, 09:14:52 AM »

Wasn't the trip delayed to some unknown date? =P

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #123 on:** February 27, 2005, 09:22:22 AM »

From an IGN mailbag:
"Our visit to Silicon Knights has been temporarily postponed until some minor details are worked out. What that unfortunately means to readers like you is that our stories on the company, including an interview with president Denis Dyack on the split with Nintendo, have also been postponed. We had planned to deliver some of these features later this month, but that's looking less and less likely at this point. I apologize for the delay, but it sadly could not be avoided. As soon as I know more, I'll let you guys know."

I trust that you'll be executing your "or else" clause soon, Stimutacs Addict. I want you to know that you have my support.

Deguello · « **Reply #124 on:** February 27, 2005, 12:37:24 PM »

I feel sorry for anyone who followed that carrot.

Edit: But really, what is stopping them? Why would their split with Nintendo be a big secret that they can't have an interview over it, and just that?
