Forums - Gaming - Sillicon Knights gets money from canadian taxpayers

alfredofroylan on 11 April 2010

Dyack with part of the staff members.

My fellow Canada citizens; your taxes are going to be used in a "Next generation" title. Dyack is happy.

"This is going to benefit Silicon Knights in ways that are profound and long-lasting," said company president Denis Dyack.

 

The announcement was made Friday by MP Rick Dykstra at the company's offices at 1 St. Paul Street in downtown St. Catharines.

Dyack said there are only a handful of developers worldwide making AAA products, or top tier titles. The company is hush hush about its new project, which will take an estimated two to five years to develop.

"In our industry, you have to be very careful never to announce anything until the right time. We can only say it's a next generation title and a high production value game," Dyack said. "That's all we can say."

So by next gen, do they mean next next gen, or current gen?  And if Dyack is saying 2-5 years, it means 5 years, and so it better be next gen.  In five years this gen will be over.

Nooo... the one after the next one... Too human started on the PS1... and 9 years later it came out on the 360.. the 2-5 years is a mistake in the article he meant 2x5 years..   so Too Human 2 is PS5 and XBOX1440 multiplat!

Canada is messed up when it comes to taxes... as of 2008 I've had to pay an EXTRA 60 dollars per year to renew my licence plate sticker so I can drive. So 140 bucks...

They said its some sort of a road restoration tax and that is fine...except roads are worse than they have ever been and no one is doing anything about them.

So im sure that tax money has to go somewhere, and what better way to spnd it than to finance videogames...
