The curse of Silicon Knights continues to hang over Microsofts head.

What does Silicon Knights have to do with Crytek and Ryse?

The curse of Lair caused the closure of Zipper Interactive.

Its a curse of MS putting money into companies who arent even close to being the best to make trilogies for them. Silicon Knights failed and were so bad Epic told them to stop using their engine. Crytek has their own engine, but their games are underwhelming even though they are graphically beautiful. MS wanted a trilogy out of them for Ryse I am sure. MS needs to just make a team and have them make ryse. How hard is that? Its like they have very little faith in their first party to make new ips.

Wow, what a terrible argument. Its like you aren't even trying.

Too Human was a mediocre game and didn't sell well. I'm guessing that has something do with MS not making an effort to continue that series. Epic's issues with Silicon Knights had nothing to do with the quality of the game. But you probably knew that.

Crytek games are fine and they had a trilogy under their belt. I had more fun with the Crysis trilogy than the Killzone or Resistance trilogy.

I would presume working with Crytek is easier than creating a whole studio just to handle Ryse games. Seriously, use a little logic. Even Sony has a history of letting 3rd parties handle their games.
