This makes SK's decision to leave Nintendo (or Dennis's, from what I've been reading) all the more idiotic.
Before you consider that ALL these ex-employees saying bad things about Dennis are just "hearsay", remember this. A known fact is that Dennis sued Epic Megagames because their own games sucked. Dennis sued Epic because he felt that Epic gave SK inferior tools which didn't allow them to make the games they wanted to make. Never mind that no one else seemed to have this issue and plenty of Unreal based games seem to have done just fine, such as Bioshock. This at least establishes that Dennis CAN make bad decisions.
He obviously did make some bad decisions, yes. I think that this game, and new company (that he is not the head of) are his attempt to correct his mistakes, though, by starting over, with some new people who clearly badly want to make this game (as you'd see if you watch the videos about it).
Quote: "Scam" was a strong word. I didn't mean to suggest they don't actually want to make a game, or that they won't be making one. Rather, I am suggesting that we won't be getting a game near the quality of the original, that the game won't actually be a sequel even though by all rights you'd think Dennis Dyack could secure that if he wanted to, and that it won't have nearly the talent the original game pulled together.You said that you thought that the video was just of the stuff from several years ago in the UE3 engine, etc. That is proven false.
