SILICON KNIGHTS UP FOR SALE

We've heard Canadian-based developer silicon knights (Too Human) is up for sale - meaning that another currently exclusive Microsoft partnet might leave the fold...

Can't say I'm surprised, really.

Er, I thought SK had a deal with Sega?

you can have a deal with a company and still be for sale-for example, see Bioware.

Mass Effect isn't exclusive anymore.

Nobody said it was. Bioware had a MS deal when it was bought. That's what he's saying.

So they think that Too Human is going to switch platforms again? Really? Really?

They announced it... what, 1998 for the PSX, then Nintendo bought SK and it was moved to the Cube, then SK left Nintendo and it was moved to the 360, now it's going to go back to Playstation? :lol Honestly this is worse than DNF. Make up your mind and finish your shit, Dyack.

That said, I doubt SK is going to move the project to another platform again.

MS shut down FASA (a more capable studio) and you guys think they will buy SK? especially with that lawsuit still going on? not a chance.

Would that make much financial sense though?

When was the last time SK released... you know, a game?

Oh yeah, in 2004 when they made a subpar MGS -remake-.

There was nothing subpar about MGS TTS. And wtf, when Sony buys shit houses like Guerrilla people jump for joy, but MS buying SK is like "omg wtf, piece of shit studio"?

Just like Lionhead is adapting to working completely under MS umbrella, SK would too.

So it can be another Money Sink like Rare?

SK is a piece of shit studio.  Guerilla is not much better (although one of them has a million seller in the past few years).

Killzone Liberation was pretty awesome and Killzone 2 is looking good, but Killzone 1 sucked and pretty much I don't know what else they did.

SK has Blood Omen and Eternal Darkness, which were both great.  Twin Snakes was also good, but it is hard to fuck that up.  I don't know about the games they made before Blood Omen.  Too Human doesn't look very good, but I don't think the past games I played of theirs were really bad.  Their biggest problem is that Dyack won't shut the hell up.  No one would be pissed about two player co-op if you didn't come out and talk about how it would have four player co-op.  The whole whining tantrum when people said his game was shit was also hilarious.

it was too expensive to buy bioware and pandemic studios for mass effect, he said.

Ugh, please MS, don't buy SK.  This would be an even dumber purchase than Rare.

i think if evilbore scrapes together its pocket change, we could buy sk. it would be worth it just to make dyack work on a tvc/patel co-design effort like: "loliz: pantiez rape school" for the nintendo ds

Buying SK means investing/wasting a lot of money on the Too Human trilogy.

I sure hope so. But the game footage looks like crap, too bad.

Most games who cross generation after generation turn out mediocre eventually.

Oh fuck yes.

SK is a worthless studio and is the Enron of video game developers: low actual value, high perceived value.

Hostess should buy SK and pay Dyack's salary in Twinkies and Ho Hos.

What great exclusives!  I mean everyone is chomping at the bit to play another crappy Banjo and that other game they are making.

Ms will take everything they can get at this point.
