A "faulty" game engine was the least of Too Human's problems

Good for Epic Games.

Ok, can't we all just get along.

Now lets hope they have some details at E3 on the new FortNight game they teased a while back

This isn't over, Mr. Octopus...

how epic..

They went through all that for $4.5 million. eh...

Well, this is pretty much the end of Silicon Knights isn't it? Oh well, another one bites the dust.

Silicon Knights is breathing their last gasp of air. If their next project isn't successful, I'd be amazed if they survive. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they closed before then. The Canadian government already bailed them out. Doubt they've had much to show for it.

We all asked for an Eternal Darkness sequel, and we got Too Human in return. Poetic justice?

I think everyone knew this was pretty much dead in the water when they started blaming Epic for their game being bad, when their game was bad due to design decisions and not really technical issues. Epic didn't make the game control wonky or force players to sit through long cutscenes every time they died.

If them claiming that one of the dominant game engines of this generation was faulty isn't enough, then the fact that not a soul decided to side with them should have been another telling sign. If that was true you'd think someone else would have stepped up to say something. Not to mention that if Silicon Knights really did spread around Epic's trade secrets and infringe on copyrights then I'd assume they're lucky the studio's assets weren't immediately liquidized as part of the ruling.

Oh lord...now they'll make more Gears of War games....

Maker save us all..

Awesome. Now use that money and give us Bulletstorm 2 please.

LOL. Epic Games. They're just about as bad and selfish as any game developer can get. Such a failure.

Long time coming

I still think back on Too Human every so often and it's upsetting how much potential that game had. The concept was really interesting, as was the setting and characters, it was just so poorly executed. That said, it always sounded like stretch for Silicon Knights to blame Epic and Unreal 3 for the game's issues. I suppose we'll never truly know what Too Human could have been, as it is probably the biggest disappointment of this console generation, speaking as someone who was really looking forward to it back in the day, at least.

this is terrible news for game development. Pretty much indicates that Epic can do whatever they want, including screwing developers if they so desire
