As long as Silicon Knights has nothing to do with it... in that case, whatever publisher or developer would do that should just reboot the series under a new IP, shamelessly take the idea of Too Human, make a unofficial/unsanctioned spiritual successor. Not like anybody has any exclusive claim right to Norse mythology, that seemed to be the main appeal, that and (at the time) Silicon Knights cheerleaders.
Frankly, I didn't see the appeal of Silicon Knights making the last game. Their history is a questionable ones. I often see the "they made Legeay of Kain" argument. Technically, Crystal Dynamics finished it because Silicon Knights couldn't, it was basically same thing that happened between Team Bondi and Rockstar over LA Noire. Afterwards Crystal Dynamics wanted nothing to do with Silicon Knights. And I don't really see them porting MGS to the GameCube to be a major feat, especially with Konami holding their hand every step of the way. And they made Eternal Darkness (not that I thought it was anything great), big woop, they finally finished a game on their own, and about the only memorable moment was the bathtub jump scare. No surprise really Nintendo didn't want to sign another multi-game contract with them afterwards. Then, of course, Too Human happened, not surprised by the delay, goes with their repertoire. Then of course they made that horrible X-Men game and that's all she wrote.
So, what's the appeal this time around. Another RPG rooted in Norse mythology? Or people still cheerleading for another Silicon Knights game?
