All but 25 staff at the Canadian video game development studio Silicon Knights have been laid off, according to sources close to the company.
Nintendo hasn’t been the biggest advocate for horror in recent years, but many years ago, with the help of Silicon Knights, it produced its most iconic horror game in Eternal Darkness
10 years on from 'Too Human', Dom Peppiatt of Fandom looks into the game's fascinating development history and the events that lead to one of gaming's biggest downfalls.
I liked it for what it was as well, but the game was definitely bad. We were promised so much of a better game.
They should definitely make a sequel, it has the lore and the atmosphere now it needs proper execution.
The story was good but game has its flaws. Overall though I enjoyed it.
Put in a lot of hours in on Too Human loved it , sure it had issues like the death animation but more flops like that MS.
I don't personally think the death animation was bad, nor an issue.. It's really not much different than a loading screen and having to start over. It's better than looking at the same loading screen and "hint" you've seen 732 other times.
I always really dug the sci-fi meets Norse mythology premise. There was also a solid loot and class system.
The voice work and combat in this game was entertaining as hell..entertaining in the worst way possible, but entertaining. I can't believe how long this game was in development.
I was so excited about the game when they announced it. I watched all the trailers, dev diaries multiple times in excitement and anticipation. And the game was utter garbage. I have never been more disappointed with a game in my life.
Nintendo has submitted a request to renew the trademark of Eternal Darkness game released on GameCube and was developed by Silicon Knights.
If the rumors are true and Switch supports Gamecube games, then they better be.
lol fuck you too Nintendo this screams troll.this probably means nothing but copyright retaining but hopefully I'm wrong, let's just hope they don't hire Dennis dyack for a sequel.
Good, they have done this before, but I have a feeling Switch is getting a remaster! Or sequel, I said 3 months ago I thought it would be a release game for Switch!
Of coarse it may not even be remastered, I think this is Nintendo's chance to use one of their many under used IPs!! Let's wait and see!
One thing I may not like is Nintendos gimmicky approach on the console side of things, but I never question their games. They have some classic franchises.
Good Lord!!! I'm gonna look like a hypocrite if Nintendo makes this happen. Thats one of my favorite games of all time and I will buy a Switch just to play it..
this company has been full of fail since they made twin snakes for the gamecube
"Too Human" to FAIL!
It's scary how one, bad game can sink a studio like this. No wonder we don't see game companies take more chances. This gen it's just been too big a risk for a lot of developers to even try. That's why I don't think the next hardware gen is going to magically give us better games. Right at the start of this gen, analysts were warning that the costs associated with pushing the hardware with AAA games could ruin developers if the games didn't sell. Before, it sucked, but you could just ride it out and move on to the next title. That's not the reality anymore.
It's also scary to note that this type of news, real news that affects the industry goes without notice on this site while "What character should I play in Skyrim?" and console wars nonsense is the only thing that gets any traction. No wonder the games media gave up a long time ago about reporting actual news.
