Silicon Knights - Conference
- Thread starter Shiggy
- Start date
So they were worthless when they made Blood Omen? Twin Snakes could've been better, but frankly, with the expectations of the MGS series, it's one of the worst games they could've taken part in. My memory's foggy on BO, but ED was a great, underappreciated (offline anyways) game.CVXFREAK said:

Is this reliable info?
Also, the last time I spoke with Denis Dyack...Which was a few months back, he said that there was no Silicon Knights conference, and there never was one planned. I'll try to get into contact with him again soon.

i'll wait to see/play their next game before applying the "suck" label to them, but there's no denying they dropped the ball with the twin snakes. they had 2 to 2 and a half years to put that game together and it came out mediocre. there's no doubt in my mind that nintendo dropped them over it... eternal darkness is still a good game.
Silicon Knights has never stated that they'd hold any type of conference. The last word from them was back in April when they split from Nintendo over "creative differences" (Money!!!).
Matt C speculated that they'd announce something during the summer but that never materialized. Other than that, SK hasn't said a peep for half a year.

I thought Twins Snakes was quite good.

My predictions
They announce they will finish the GC games they started then decide where to go from there.

Let it be known that the first person to even bring negativity into this thread was a known troll..

Eternal Darkness is one of my favourite games of all time, and Twin Snakes is amazing, Silicon Knights have lots of potential to continue making great games, and I look forward to future games by them, if they haven't fallen off the face of the earth... and i'd rather they continue making games for GC, and GC only, otherwise i fear the quality of their games might dip.

Eternal darkness IS bleh at best. I didn't even bother finishing it. Ugly / Ordinary and not very fun. The story was way too OTT.
i can understand why people have mixed reactions about Eternal Darkness, but i don't get why people think Twin Snakes is complete crap (unless, maybe, they thought MGS2 was complete crap too). i thought TTS was a good game, it just lacked polish and creativity.
the fact that pretty much all the new additions were derived from the new stuff in Sons of Liberty that weren't in the original game. maybe that's why Nintendo kicked them out, TTS just didn't have anything new that was SK's doing at all.

It's all about expectations. MGS games are polished and overpolished to perfection before release. You don't go releasing some jittery, janky-looking semi-remake without at least making sure it's every bit as good-looking and polished as the previous games. Same goes for the half-assed Xbox port of Substance.
I dunno why they ever gave it to Silicon Knights in the first place though. I can't buy one of their games until they pay someone $5 an hour to make a real logo!

Why would a partnership between SK and Sony yield an Xbox project? And why would a partnership with "someone" necessarily mean an Xbox 2 game? Also, doesn't Nintendo fit into the equation anywhere? They may have parted ways, but most reports indicate a healthy relationship still exists between the two companies.IGN Xbox said:

Going in to a partnership with Microsoft Game Studios would probably be the best thing. That's what I'm hoping for.
haha. are you guys saying SK is porting SH3. talk about redunant ports. I hope not. I'd like to see what they do on XBXO2/xbox; if only to see if they can make a decent game (TTS was quite good but its not their IP; and ED was bleh)
