No more Silicon Knights for us - SK and Nintendo no longer on the same ship

[blablamax]

CubeIGN has just posted the sad news.

http://cube.ign.com/articles/506/506189p1.html

I have nothing to say, I am very dissapointed.. I can see TooHuman coming for the XBOX .. Unlike when I felt back then when Nintendo droped Rare .. I find SK a great devlopment studio that in my opinion should've been a first party developer for Nintendo.

...And I hopped to see ED sequal on the Cube .. well .. maybe it will,but I doubt on it.
SK said that the fact they going 3rd party does not mean they stop the Cube developement, while that good - I believe no more exclusives. :(

Well ... I think nowit's clear that the rumor of SK developing Kid Icrus for the Cube if false.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[blablamax]

While I find this one a kind of a liltle light in the darkness:


Asked if today's news meant Silicon Knights would not continue to develop for Nintendo platforms, Denis Dyack said: "No it doesn't. It's possible that we may do another game with Nintendo, actually. It just means that we've decided to break our exclusivity with Nintendo."


The timing is very bad, thought

[Spartacus]

I sure not one more game is coming to GC from SK.

[thegamecubist]

The first SK game I played was MGS:TTS, and I was very impressed. This is another dark day for Ninty fans....

[bonzo]

what is Nintendo doing?????
factor five has X-box dev kits
now this

[Phillip-AMN]

Look out for a 10,000 word editorial about this soon. :p

[koten]

SILICON KNIGHTS HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! You were the only true game company making GOOD mature games for the cube... this news had better be someones twisted idea of an April Fools joke... especially since the fame Nintendo had thrust upon SK by allowing them to be the development studio Konami would work on MGS with...

[bonzo]

remember all the comments about a realistic zelda game??
looks like that wasn't even close to being real.
they will probalby still make games for nintendo but they will all be multiplatform. i could see microsoft picking up some exclusives from them now as well. microsoft lives for this stuff.

[BigBroMario]

I want to cry. I cannot believe this. Ed and MGS TTS were great games, how could Nintendo let such an outstanding developer leave to develope for other systems. I just don't understand. For the first time, I am really, really upset with Nintendo. I'm waiting for this lie to be shot down, please Nintendo, shoot it down. :doh:

[koten]

Ditto man... I feel it. I am serious... there is like this stabbing pain in the left half of my chest. It can't be true! Nintendo can't let them go... This could even mean that MGS:TTS won't stay exclusive! The only part nintendo had in it was picking SK to make it! The day I say an SK exclusive on any console other than nintendo is the day i will burn my copies of ED and MGS

[blablamax]

Well .. I think that MGS:TTS it's not up to SK decision.

This is a very sad and bad day for Nintendo and for their fans. Add to this the fact F-5 leaving us two this E3 ... lets hope Nintendo got the answers ...

[BigBroMario]

Let's hope this turns out to be a lie!

[OutlawAdidas]

Please Nintendo, shoot it down already. Do it now. It feels like having your heart torn out and a bunch of soccer players start playing hacky sack with it

[thegamecubist]

Well, there is apparently supposed to be confrimation by Nintendo which may happen over the next few weeks.

[BigBroMario]

A few weeks!!! People will start killing themselves before then, hurry up and kill the rumor Nintendo!!!

[OutlawAdidas]

*tears off pinky finger*

You see this nintendo, this was your doin

[BigBroMario]

I think at this point, we should all treat this as a rumor and not an actual fact, there's just not enough info as of right now.

[OutlawAdidas]

its not a rumor. If Denis Dyack gets in front of a group of people and tells them that the deal between SK and Nintendo has died, then its not a rumor

[koten]

how do you know he did? IGN could be talking through there asses for all we know. It could be a late April Fool's joke... I mean if Dyack talked to IGN why not other people?

[COTTON]

I want another SK game.:(
I want candy.:(
My butt itches.:(

[BigBroMario]

yeah, why would Dyack come directly to IGN? It doesn't make sense! It's not like they split and Dyack just says, "Hey, I think I'll go talk to IGN about this," when there's supposed to be a press release about this in a few weeks. Why tell IGN before the press release and not anyone else?

[lilxleftee]

expect the worst, hope for the best.. sigh

[johnnyb853]

y'all it is not the end of the world, SK will still develope for the console just not only any more. the company just probably whats to get out on its own and be free stretch and do what it was created to do with out feeling hampered be its parent. their comes a time in every companies life where they need to leave home, get out on their own, and really make a differance for everyone. they grow up so fast :(

I mean if Dyack talked to IGN why not other people?

Well as much as I hate IGN, it is the #1 most viewed source for gaming news on the internet. While IGN has reported about 2 dozens of bull**** pieces of news, this appears to be 100% legit, as most of their bull**** news has no actual names, quotes, and if they were to report this saying Dyack had said these things and he didn't, legally Dyack can take IGN to court for something like slandering..I don't know for sure.

This news does make me cry though...tears of JOY! lolmaof

[bountyhunter]

Your crying tears of joy for nothing. You may be dead before their next game comes along anyway.

[lilxleftee]

please xbevolved.. although you gotta good point.. now please gtfout and play your 500 pound system

[OutlawAdidas]

Don't you mean that he should take his 500 pound self and go play his 1000 pound system

[XboxEvolved]

Hey that offends me the Xbox is only 8 lbs and Im 567lbs STUPID

I thought you didn't like SK? :rolleyes:

[lilxleftee]

okay, let's stop this immature conflict for the sake of my sanity.. i swallow my pride

[XboxEvolved]

When did I say I didn't like SK? ED is the best game on GC IMO so how would that meean I don't like them?

[Miggy-AMN]

Hahaha, typical.

[koten]

XBE, take your goddamn system and shove it up your ***, cause you just got about half of the forums primed to kill you. Just pray we don't find you

[XboxEvolved]

Wow are you seriously angry? Maybe you need to cool down because it isn't like..a serious situation it's a game so chill.

[johnnyb853]
