its really weird how sk has just dissapeared off the map...i wanna know what their doing. I wanted to try to get a job over there someday, but with all this quietness i really dont know.

also, i hope theres some revolution news this e3. I miss spaceworld. I'm still freakign out because by my calculations by the time zelda³2 comes out gcn will be $$50. A cheap console with a game that looks badass...hmm!

"I'll agree with ICO but isn't Mega Man X7 that sh!tty 3D Mega Man game? 3D Mega Man deserves to sell like ass."

That wasn't my point Ian. The fact that a damn Mega Man game can't sell much on the PS2 when MMBN sells ok on the GBA means that it is just as much of a crapshoot as anywhere else.

Come on yourself. They can't even get a game like Ico or Megaman X7 to sell on the PS2.

Myth: Games sell better on the PS2 becuase there are more of them.

Surely you're not saying that ED isn't at least as good as those titles. Well, maybe that's just my opinion but ED is STILL one of my favorite games EVER. But as I said in my earlier post, "...because it has ZOMBIES AND MONSTERS". Well that's what would've got gamers to buy the game (with just a little more money thrown at it than Nintendo gave it for promotion) and then the genius gameplay and story would've solidified the title as a number one seller.

It would have had a good chance at selling well is all I'm saying.

And as far as the PS2 being a crowded console. You're right about that. But it doesn't mean that a great game with average promotion can't sell well.

Oh, hell no. I'm not getting my hopes up on this topic again.

The reason the website hasn't been updated in OVER A YEAR is because Dyack has been stuck in the Trapper Dimension.

Didn't SK develop or publish MGS:TTS or something???

Rancid Planet · « **Reply #406 on:** September 05, 2004, 10:47:29 PM »

They developed it, yes.

It's okay though, BJ will replace Trapper quick smart, and there will be little angry with the loyal fans. BUT THEN, DISASTER WILL STRIKE, GOODBYE MESSAGES MADE FROM ROCKS! Hold me.

you guys smoke way too much dope....

.. that or im just too stoned to know what's going on

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #410 on:** September 09, 2004, 07:05:06 PM »

I don't smoke. I ingest.

Silicon knights isn't gone forever. They'll be back, not as a second party, but they will give exclusives to the revolution like pilot wings, and maybe even the game they've been developing for nine years if it doesn't go to xbox first.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #412 on:** September 10, 2004, 07:22:23 AM »

Silicon Knights isn't working on Pilotwings. Factor 5 is. Or so I've heard.

Urkel · « **Reply #413 on:** September 10, 2004, 07:22:21 PM »

It's strange how we know absolutely nothing new about this situation. How is it that Matt C. "knows" the specs and features of the Revolution, yet has no idea what's going on at SK? At the very least you'd think some anonymous SK employee would post on a message board somewhere.

"Uh, yeah. The thing is, we've been bought out by Acclaim and are now making Too Human for the Gizmondo. Half the staff have committed suicide. Other than that it's business as usual."

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #414 on:** September 10, 2004, 09:27:02 PM »

We haven't heard anything from them because they aren't ready to show any games yet.

How easily you guys forget about Eternal Delay.

notic · « **Reply #415 on:** September 11, 2004, 10:58:34 AM »

The way I see it is that Nintendo and SK's philosophies don't completely agree so SK can work on games alone however way they want the game to be for Nintendo without fussing w/ Nintendo. It might not be such a bad thing.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #416 on:** September 11, 2004, 10:59:57 AM »

"The way I see it is that Nintendo and SK's philosophies don't completely agree"

And it's this part that doesn't make any sense whatsoever...SK is the Nintendo of the Western world in terms of philosophy... =P

Berto2K · « **Reply #417 on:** September 11, 2004, 03:21:52 PM »

Matt C. and Dyack are good friends. I;m pretty sure Matt knows exactly whats going on but can't say anything because Nintendo/SK haven't said anything official yet publicly.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #418 on:** September 11, 2004, 07:03:59 PM »

I'm surprised the CIA hasn't investigated into this mystery!

Stimutacs Addict · « **Reply #419 on:** September 12, 2004, 08:59:33 AM »

^ im not so sure that the CIA would get anything from it; we all know how well they handled the info pre- Sept. 11th

and then there are those WMDs . . .

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #420 on:** September 12, 2004, 09:44:52 PM »

Factor five is making pilot wings, my brain was malfunctioning. Unless revolution puts out sound wise Factor Five is gone forever. I just hope that nintendo is smarter than I give them credit for. I don't think too human will ever come out. SK probobly has some other huge shindig going down and is using nintendo's silence is golden theory. As far as someone message boarding info if SK is nintendo of the western world then whoever would decide to release that info would most likely be tracked down and erradicated from the globe post haste.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #421 on:** September 12, 2004, 10:04:09 PM »

StimAdd: Better don't go into that direction, political debate is against the board rules.

I said it before, I'll say it again: Too Human == Duke Nukem Forever.

At the official Nintendo Norway site's GameCube game list, a mystery title from Silicon Knights, is listed on the list...The game is said to be an action-adventure title, but word has it that it is not, Too Human. Although we have no idea if Nintendo Norway's list holds up or not, we're hoping that they are right in the fact that Silicon Knights is working on another GameCube title. Stay tuned.

Here's the game list that they're referring to.

Matt from IGN cube and the whole damn Xbox channel have a different opinion. Still I welcome the possiblities of another SK game on the cube.
