Denis Dyack is such a loser

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/09/silicon-knights-denis-dyack-still-wary-of-game-previews-hints/

Quote from:

Dyack believes that the traditional marketing model, which relies heavily on previews of unfinished games, "does not work" anymore. He characterizes it as a holdover from a bygone era. "Our industry started very much like the toy industry, where they put things out as experiments," he observed, noting that games were far less expensive to develop in those days, not to mention demand "far exceeded supply."

No, previews do work and help drum up interest in an upcoming game. problem is, Silicon Knights make awful games

SK fanboys

"buy this game to support SK through these hard times" - after they got Canadian govt. funding.

I wonder if the Canadian government will give some cash to other developers, like Ubisoft Montreal?

Silicon Knights are probably the biggest joke in the industry

I find all this stuff really delicious for some reason!

The Sceneman · « **Reply #63 on:** September 29, 2011, 03:26:28 AM »

Im guessing these are people that REALLY like Eternal Darkness and hope that SK can pull another good game out of their ass. It's been 10 years.....

You know what is worse looking that this game on the ps3/360, the same game from SK on Wii.

Their review made good reference to that:

Quote

In years past, Silicon Knights boss Denis Dyack has railed against critics writing "previews" that feel more like reviews of what's still a half-finished product. How ironic that his company and Activision have just forced me to do exactly that.

Uh, of course they do. Why do you think so many major third-parties have Canadian branches? It's not for the fine weather and local cuisine, I assure you.

Come for the tax breaks, stay for the poutine!

I've seen N64 games that look better than that Wii version...

1.5 is good for Dennis- gotta consider the context. Its a horrible game, no doubt. The fact that im setting aside time on Saturday and Sunday to DEAL with this game is evidence of that. But its short and easy chieves so ill continue on.

Jesus christ, that's what I was thinking. At best it's like those N64/PS1 -> DC up-ports that got nothing but a slight resolution bump and a bit of filtering.

This should be a monthly feature of Evilbore, "Guess Who Bought a Shitty X-Men Game" Every month somebody should buy a shitty X-Men game, and we try to guess who it is. We could also work in Star Wars games, and games based on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network shows.

Does the game ever explain why you can constantly swap powers or why dressing as Wolverine's doofy cousin makes you stronger?

I dont think there was a lot of thinking behind this game. There's so many problems with how the story is playing out. Im in the last third of the game already I think.

So far id say:

Weirdest moment: When the head from the statue comes flying at you- for a moment it looks like some persons head. Freaky.
Best moment: Magneto/Juggernaut fight.
Worst moment: Checkpoints before the long chat cutscene before the fight you died in.

It's pretty mediocre, but I like X-men. If you don't like the franchise, I'm sure it's even worse.

Incredibly shitty production values, it's a buggy mess and you can tell that it was rushed out before it was done. It's also the first Silicon Knights game I've ever played.

Kawaii with shadow powers.

It's arguable whether or not they could have made a cell-phone game with the full crew. That said, depending on who they kept, it may be possible they can make a decent small game now.
