Rumortoid: Crucible the work of an Oblivion designer? photo

Over the weekend, a video for something called The Crucible appeared that was rumored to be a Silicon Knights/Sega collaboration. Yesterday, Sega denied those rumors. Today, we have even more rumors concerning the brief slice of footage that has generated more discussion than it possibly deserves.

Kotaku claims that The Crucible is the work of Big Huge Games and former Oblivion designer Ken Rolston. If true, this would be a THQ-published project for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2009. According to the rumor, the footage unearthed represents an "absolutely archaic" build that has been improved upon by "orders of magnitude" since it was made.

I hope this rumor is false and it actually turns out to be the highly anticipated sequel for Limbo of the Lost.

@Jim: Daniel Day-Lewis did hold his own as John Proctor -- at least give the film version that.

Well it definitely looked like comething from a Western developer- this wouldn't surprise me too much if it was true.

On Youtube the video has been taken down and it now says "removed due to copyright with Disney productions" or something. Do Disney own any game studios?
