@Jandlecack: I think that's really short-sighted and reactionary. One game... not even a bad game... well that's how gamers are expected to react. Regardless, SK's still in business and has even hired someone... can't really put them on the same plain as those other two developers other than to make the contrast that SK was the only company (of the three) to make a game that bombed and still survive.
@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): Well as you said it still bombed and I don't care if the company shuts doors or not, they're still off the radar for 80% of people, just like Guerilla was before the KZ2 reviews had their say.
To put it in simple terms, if Silicon Knights's next game, or Free Radical's or Factor 5's for that matter, if there is one, has to be a mindblowing killer app. Else it will just be more of a disaster than their previous bomb, because they can't count on any hype or anticipation.
@Jandlecack: I seem to remember a dust-up about the reviews for TH, Kevin Pereira and Adam Sessler even made their own soapbox vids in TH's defense. I don't remember that kind of thing happening for Lair or Haze.
TH is a very cool game, one of the most memorable games of this gen for me when I really think about it.
@MetalGearMax: Grow up dude, Silicon Knights is not going to fold because of the mixed reactions to Too Human. Why people hate Dyack so much, I'll never understand.
@ThisCharmingMan: Agree with you there. Concerning the Dyack hate, Maybe because he's a bit too outspoken? Or is it just envy? (I think with CliffyB envy is more prevalent). The guy might be a bit too ambitious but that's better than being complacent right?
Maybe I'm quasi-defending SK because I don't want to see more studios closing. That or I liked Too Human's Diablo-esque gameplay for consoles and want more.

Presumably referring to a non-Prime title; almost as silly a mistake as Killer Instinct 2.

I wish I could do stuff like that...

Cmon now. They managed to put Too Average out even after it was in development hell for ten years.

Dyack will go down with it though.

I love it when people say stuff without basis and just conjectural things out of their asses.
Oh and by destined you mean because Too Human was so awful as well as Eternal Darkness?
Speaking of stuff without basis. A recent study* has shown that my overall sexiness can cause sexual impotence.
(By studies I mean the back of a door of a gas station's comfort room).
