Denis "the words just fall out of my mouth" Dyack has shed a few pinpricks of light on Silicon Knights' next project, claiming it will be "nothing like" Too Human or Eternal Darkness. Considering I've not been wowed by anything from SK since 1993, the promise of something unlike previous work has to be good news.
"We've been lucky enough to make Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness, Too Human and if you look at all of those they're all really different," stated Dyack. "The next game that we're going to announce, not including the sequels to the trilogy, it's nothing like anything else we've ever made before.
"We want to continue to do that to keep fresh. That's really what's important, and making sure that we continue to make new IPs but also continue to innovate in the genres that we try to... create content in, I suppose is the best way to describe it."
Silicon Knights' next project is in league with Sega, which marks the company's first collaboration with a non-platform holder in ten years. Here's hoping they play nice, given the company's past dealings with other studios including Epic Games and Crystal Dynamics. More people involved is just more people for Denis to blame, after all.

Suck it down.
I thought good games stopped being released in 1998.
Im being serious here. I have never seen Jim post an article about something he liked. Granted I don't read here often, and when I do the comment section often overshadows anything the bloggers here say (except for Rev and maybe Collete). I just don't understand today's culture of video games I guess. Play games to have fun...
/rant that I want to post EVERY time I read an article by this douchebag
Now explain to me why "this douchebag" should pay attention to a damn word of criticism you say when this little sentence proves you don't read even half of what I write.
Too many fucking court jesters come out of the woodwork of this otherwise fine community.
Oh, and Eternal Darkness was shit.
