Funny Picture... I wonder if this means MGS:TS could lose it's exclusiveness to the Gamecube.

"Well they werent that good anyway, actually, I always thought they were kind of lackluster"

:lol:

Oh Emotion Eric. :p

Haha, I knew they were the next Rare anyways. And maybe that's why they didn't advertise MGS:TTS, because they knew they were gone.

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
That's...unexpected. Although, if SK feels they can make better games (and more money to make those games, of course) by splitting with Nintendo, good for them.

Just so long as Too Human gets released at some point (soon).

I have this feeling Too Human will be PS2/XB exclusive:unsure:

Good for SK.

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
Oh come the fudge on guys, back when Rare left you guys were saying it's fine, Nintendo doesn't need them because they can use the money they save on them to buy better things like uhhh SILICON KNIGHTS...

OMFGZ ETERNAL DARKNESS IS AN AMAZING GAME!
TOO HUMAN CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT!
MGS:TS IS GREAT!!11

*they leave*

Eh they're ok...

Jonbo298 04-13-2004 06:00 PM

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
I never said that:unsure: (not implying you were directing it towards me or anything:p)

But from what I've seen on a few other forums, this is a bigger blow to people then the Rare selling was because SK released 2 games on the 'Cube that were GOOD. Then they shaft it and go 3rd party.

This news isn't a big deal, and I'm afraid it only scratches the surface of my importance/excitment meter.

I was pretty pissed when I heard about this, and still am. They were really talented people over there, and Dyack was always one to back Nintendo no matter what. This definatley hurts. :(

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
Sorry to see them leave, well atleast they can get Too Human out sooner, I think Nintendo might have been holding them back from completing the game.
hehehe
I wonder what the ign boards look like right about now ;)

I don't think anyone here has said that. In fact, most people here are taking it fairly hard...

The only people who aren't complaining are those who either have all three systems (thus, it doesn't matter who SK develops for) or just didn't care in the first place...

I bet you didn't even look at the posts after the first one. You just wanted to say we were all being fanboys. Come on, don't lie ;)

As if it mattered to Nintendo anymore. Konami never spent a cent on advertising. Not one commercial.

This isnt nearly as bad as Rare leaving. SK is officiailly third party (Rare went straight from one console to another). SK wants to be third party, I guarentee thats why they left. Their game sales are lackluster on a single console. They have talked about despise for consoles like PS2 in the past, but will probably make games for PS2 aswell as xbox AND gamecube. And all three next gen consoles.

I dont really mind this news, other than that I will probably have to wait even LONGER for Too Human...Maybe nintendo will replace them with a company like...zoonami!

Jonbo298 04-14-2004 03:53 AM

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
Hopefully Nintendo isnt starting a trend here. First they give off Rare, then SK becomes the studio that got great out of nowhere (something like that) then they go 3rd party. Either Retro Studios or Zoonami will be the next SK/Rare for Nintendo and then bam, 2-3 great games later they go 3rd party/jumpship:p

Why do you hope for Nintendo is not starting a trend hereWho does "they" refer to? And second?When do you think artificial intelligence will replace lawyers?

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
Ouch. SK gone.... :( What was Nintendo thinking? :mad:
We all felt that Rare had issues, so we quickly accepted the loss. But SK was doing good things for Nintendo!
Hopefully they'll release Too Human on the Cube....

Edit: IGN has listed for E3: Silicon Knights title (Cube) There's hoping...

It's just Nintendo fan spin control. Pointing out its existence simply encourages more spin control AND the denial of the fact that spin control exists.

Retro Studios... leaving?????

:confused: :hm: I hope you were kidding. :hm:

Jonbo298 04-14-2004 05:42 PM

Re: SK and Nintendo make like a banana...
 
Its a theory;)

I dont think Retro will be going anywhere anytime soon because Nintendo basically owns the studio.

*looks again for stupid fanboy comments about how SK is only OK just 'cause they left*

*still can't find any*

*wonders if maybe Deathshand and Stonecutter are in their own little fantasy worlds*
