i know you dont want to hear any more about SK, but, what if i told you that this whole thing was just a scheme to advertise ED2? read below.
1) Dennis Dyack has stated the relationship between Nintendo and SK is/was very, very strong.
2) This announcment was completly out of the blue. Not the SLIGHTEST warnings at all.
3) IGN are the only people to have "offically" reported it. They are VERY close to Dennis Dyack.
4) Planet GameCube, also claiming to have contacted Dyack about this, posted the news at 3:33pm.
5) This news was announced April 13th. The E3 press conference ends May 13th.
6) Including the day of the announcment (April 13th) and the day after the end of E3 (May 15th) you have a total of 33 days.
7) Dyack has stated that if he hints towards there next game, ala: MGS, it will be in a much more tricky and sneaky method than he did last time, as people will be prepared.
8) There has still be NO official announcment. When Rare departed there Nintendo announced it (including press release) the day we knew or the day after.
9) Dyack has said there is much more to the Eternal Darkness story, and that one day he would like to show it.
