Looks like Silicon Knights is finally dead. Remaining staff laid off.

It's about time. Good riddance.

Stinks that people lost their job. Hopefully they will be able to join better developers and make better games than the recent things they've made.

That was slow.

I wonder if they're selling the Eternal Darkness IP? I'd buy that for a dollar.Timstuff

Nothing of value was lost.

Shame for the people losing their jobs,tho.

How the **** did Eternal Darkness fail? It's one of the best games ever made. About the only one that really captured anything close to Cthulhu horror.

There needs to be either a direct or spirtual successor to Eternal Darkness, or gaming is dead to me. If CoD can muster up yearly DLC packs being sold at retail, then ED can certainly get some love in the sequel department.

I loved Too Human and was secretly hoping that I would see a sequel... guess that will never come to be.

I'm guessing I'm the only one who wanted to see a sequel to Too Human :(

And before you all laugh too hard :P consider that for all it's faults, if given the chance to take user feedback, the sequel could have been greatly improved. We've seen this happen in Assassin's Creed from 1 to 2, Mass Effect from 2 to 3 (ironically many of the changes in 2 were from taking player feedback of the first game).

They could have expanded the level variety, enemy variety, got rid of that infernal death animation (or at least made it skippable), and fine tuned the analog attack targeting, the sequel could have been a hack n' slash loot dropping paradise.

*edit* oh, I see I'm not the only one after all :)

To bad for the people losing their jobs, but we won't miss much, they made average games at best and I was tricked several times in buying their games (Too human, eternal darkness) which I end up disliking

I think it is one of the games this gen that could have really used a sequel to show what it was actually capable of after feedback from the first one. I enjoyed it more than I have a certain other dungeon crawler on PC, but I think I might be alone in that sentiment.

Yeah, those minds certainly blew us away with titles like too human and x-men destiny. MFDOOM1983

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] Nintendo has it I think, but no way they are going to bother with it after that game failed, helping in holding back Nintendo's ability to publish a first/second party M rated game.

That must be outdated, because according to VG Chartz (which is the semi-official numbers site of System Wars) it sold 440,000 copies. It might not sound like a lot today, but the sales were considered decent at the time, especially on a system with a much smaller userbase than its competitors and a notorious focus on children as its primary market.

When is it ever right to laugh at people losing their jobs?:?GulliversTravel

The amount of children involved with the GameCube is no excuse when games like REmake and RE4 sold hell of a lot better, especially when RE4 came out at a time when the GameCube was in it's worst.

Cosign, Too Human was awesome, wish we got a sequel. VERY VERY underrated game.

Dyack has been owned.

It's about time. Good riddance.

[QUOTE="Timstuff"]Which is why I'd like to know why you think that ED was a sales failure, even though it sold a lot more than most M-rated games released on the system.Timstuff

Still, even if Perfect Dark had more hype, you know it's bad news when Nintendo can't get a million copies of the game to sell unlike the last time and get outcIassed by third parties like Capcom (Resident Evil) and Activision (True Crime, though only Streets of LA sold well). Hell, I even think MK: Deadly Alliance and Deception on GameCube did better and that was when Mortal Kombat was in a rut with gamers.

To hink Eternal Darkenss was released 10 years ago. :(

Yes people, let's laugh at the fact that people have lost their jobs and their means of financial income. Even Hitler would find this tasteless.drinkerofjuice
