X3F TV: Denis Dyack, "Origin of the Knights" interview

by Xav de Matos { Aug 26th 2008 at 12:00PM }

In the first part of our three part interview with Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack we discuss the origin of the studio from an Atari, Amiga and PC developer of RTS titles to the GameCube remake of the classic PS1 title, Metal Gear Solid. How did Silicon Knights get tapped to create the remake, when did the studio's relationship with Nintendo begin? Part one of the interview gets to the bottom of things from the games that Silicon Knights develops to the people and culture that make up the studio.

Stay tuned tomorrow for part two of our three part Denis Dyack interview. In part two Xav lists the top three things he likes and dislikes about his experience with Too Human - discussion ensues.

You guys should really stop covering this guy. Too Human is one of the most over hyped games i've ever seen. AND it sucks.

iFester @ Aug 26th 2008 1:50PM

That's a matter of opinion and my current opinion is stop telling sites how to do their jobs and create your own site that doesn't cover things like this. Seriously, how often does X3F get developer interviews. Quite being a Troll.

Ryan, normally I wouldn't say this but you're so full of shit I'm going to say it: Shut The F**k Up.

Here is what you wrote about the game JUST YESTERDAY asswipe:

"it's not that the game is bad or anything. it's just that the guy has been doing some ridiculous damage control for his game.

true it's been given unjust reviews, but he's caused more harm than good by tangling with neogaf. a game forum. i mean, do you really need to stoop that low to defend your game?

now he's putting out flames of development time? sheesh, i say give it a rest guy. your game is doing pretty well without AAA reviews."

Seriously, STFU!

@Ddog
that wasn't me. you do know that Ryan is a common name, right?

anyway, maybe i came off overly negative, but i just see so many great games come and go on this site, why does this "mediocre" game get a whole week of promotion? is X3F getting a little something on the side for that?

but as ifester so eloquently pointed out, it's just my opinion anyway.
