Developers do tend to run their mouths quite often and it usually doesnt bother me. Peter Molyneux does talk alot but hey, the man did create
Black and White.
David Jaffe is another that tends to run his mouth off as does the infamous CliffyB, but the amazing games these two have developed in
God of War and
Gears of War, respectively, they can talk all they want.
Now Mr. Denis Dyack is a different story, this man has yet to really wow me with any of his games thus far. The best thing his company " Silicon Knights " has produced so far would have to be Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, which as we all know, is a port of a ps1 title. Funny that I bring up ps1 as that leads into my next point. Too human, the game that poor old Denis has been so vigorously defending on message boards. ( http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2008/06/denis_dyack_tells_too_human_trolls_put_up_or_shut_up-2.html ). Too human has been in development since before 1999 as it was in fact shown to be in development for the playstation 1 (not 2 or 3) at E3 '99.

This is getting up into Duke Nukem territory and that is somewhere you do not want to be my friend.
My point is, for a two bit developer who doesnt deserve the praise and accolades he recieves, we should not make an exception. Maybe once you have done something in your career, maybe if that slim chance of
too human not sucking is real, than maybe you might get some deserved respect. But until then, stop fighting fanboys on neogaf, going on every podcast and being on every two bit gaming website to try and boost your sad excuse for a career.
So, Denis Dyack, please, Shut the F*** up.
He does make good games, but every damn time he talks up his game he promises Jesus Christ on a disc.
Guess I was inspired by your rant to blow off a little steam of my own :)
fair enough
but I prefer voice of reason
rolls right off the tongue
That is all.
That being said, still looking forward to Too Human and love hearing his thoughts when he's on the 1up podcast. The man may not have made his masterpiece but he's got very progressive thoughts on the gaming industry and technology as a whole.

Thats what inspired me to actually get off my ass and write something. Normally I would let it bother me and just leave it alone. But I figured it was worth saying.
