Rumortoid: Silicon Knights making Sirens in the Maelstrom photo

As we discussed last week, genius supercompany Silicon Knights has been looking for a new game to followup the critical acclaim and genre-defining success of Too Human. While it was believed that this meant Too Human 2: Look Who's Too Humaning Too was on the way, a French press release may have leaked a completely new title entirely.

The press release reveals the name of a potentially new IP called Sirens in the Maelstrom, which is simply listed as a console project from SK, with no further details. Whether this is an entirely new franchise or something linked to previous Silicon Knights work remains to be seen. Nevertheless, it appears as if we have the name of something to look forward to from Denis Dyack's team. 

Until there's official confirmation, we have nothing but rudderless speculation to go on. Feel free to join in with the senseless and unnessecary gossip as well!

Cool title.
I'm glad they're trying a new IP, since Too Human was a complete failure of a game.

Perhaps on the Xbox 1080 or the Nintendo Wiiiiiiiiii, in ten years' time, we'll be able to play it, only to be horribly disappointed by lacklustre graphics and gameplay, shallow combat and plagiarized mythology. Denis Dyack Jr., having eaten his father to absorb his brilliance, will have taken over the business, and will tell us all that the Metacritic scores are bullshit and we just don't understand the awesomeness of the game.

Dyack's moving on to raping Greek mythology, how quaint. After his stellar take on the Norse pantheon, I can't help but be excited about the possibilities of this apparent new project.

Finally! found pic on google.. Now I can move beyond this post. However, I'll be looking forward to it when there's more to hear about.

Why not stay dissappointed and believe it's Too Human 2: Sirens in the Maelstrom?

How about no? Certainly a new IP is good but Silicon Knights, how about you go back and make Eternal Darkness 2 and some money out of it and then start creating a new IP? or are you still afraid of money?

This could theoretically be a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness. I am of course being COMPLETELY optimistic but nevertheless, the effect of the sirens could be somewhat similar to the effect of losing your sanity in Eternal Darkness - since obviously without working with Ninty they can't ACTUALLY use the original sanity method.

More than likely it'll be something completely different. I'm just shocked that a company can make one great game, then make one so-so game and forever be panned.

Gamers: fickle as f*ck.
