Are any of those games even good? I've only heard of too human.
Edit: Most don't even exist yet, that's why I never heard of them.
Too Human and X-Men Destiny are not good, the two others haven't been released.

Pro-tip:
Don't launch a lawsuit against anybody when you don't have a case.
only Too Human and X-men were released and according to gaf Too Human sucked and X-Men sucked even harder because of low budget.
The rest were in developement or shelved
Epic wouldn't have been able to gather evidence. They needed the judge to give them access to the source code. He wouldn't really do that without a reason. Epic could also leverage their Microsoft connection if they wanted to get everything sorted out.Perhaps we have the timing wrong.
SK stops paying Epic -> Epic starts gathering evidence in preparation for lawsuit -> SK finds out and launches frivolous suit first in order to scare Epic
Pre-emptying a legitimate lawsuit by suing first is not uncommon. You basically are trying to convince the party with the legitimate grievance that it won't be worth the legal costs and gain leverage to force an early settlement.
Apparently is sucked due to management failing, manpower being used elsewhere; doomed from the start basically. There's a great article on Kotaku about this:only Too Human and X-men were released and according to gaf Too Human sucked and X-Men sucked even harder because of low budget.

Ok, past the GameCube age and besides Too Human and X-men destiny, what else did SK even make? I mean it, I don't know anything else they made and Too Human wasn't even worth while.
I've got a SIGNED copy! I live just 10 minutes down the road from St.Catharines, Ontario and I actually met DD and the SK team at EB Games on release day. I just noticed that DD's signature is very shaky...My copy of Too Human is going to be a collectors item!
SK used Epic's code on multiple games, all the while thinking they could get away with it. There is no point in firing Dyack because SK is done. The staff has no engine they can use now and they will have to tool up and learn to use a new one.
Not worth the money.
I don't understand why they'd have to do this. After the initial problems they had with UE3, Dyack said that they decided not to use UE3 and they wrote their own engine. If they were never able to use UE3 for any of their games, why the need to recall and destroy all these games?
There was also the fact that removed Epic's copyright information from the code and did not credit Epic via a little splash screen at the start of the game which were probably clearly defined in the contract they signed.
I think morally SK had a very valid issue. Being a game-developer and licensing a game engine is a huge conflict of interest. It basically puts them in direct competition with their customers. The fact that they released their first game without the same issues most of the other developers had shows that SK had a valid case. Had Denis stuck with the U3 or actually created their own engine he may have had a leg to stand on. But like everything else he has done, while he may have a point, he goes about acting on it in completely the wrong way.
The sad thing is had SK not sued Epic, I don't think they would have pursued any legal action against Silicon Knights. Now their hand is almost forced to make an example out of them.

I suggest everyone get Too Human while you have the chance! It's going to be a piece of video game history.
I think most of the people who actually owned Too Human thought thought it was at least a decent game. You also have a number of people who really loved it. But I think they are drowned out by people who just played the demo or jumped on the hate bandwagon.
That would require demand
Thought they didn't use UE3 after suing Epic and instead wrote their own engine??
Are you trolling or being serious.
Too Human was a loot game with about four hours or so of content. It did the loot stuff reasonably well but the lack of content was idiotic.
Anyway, destroying stuff is really fucked up.
Curious about this, myself. Too Human was Dyack's baby and now he's got to take it around back and shoot it with a vaporizer.
And then it hit me!
I'd love to see the conversation where Dyack fires himself.
I've never heard of this happening in video games, is this a first?
He lied, they used a modified UE3 and just removed all Epic copyright statements.
How do you know this?
Precisely the reason for the counterclaim:
CVG said:
Epic had a hunch, said so against the judge, requested to investigate it, invegistation turned out positive, and the judge said Epic was right. Which lead to the judgment on the first page and me knowing that.How do you know this? How can anyone outside of SK know what the source code is.
and the slim hope for a SK developed eternal darkness sequel gets even slimmer.
I see so SK lied about rewriting the engine for the game.Epic had a hunch, said so against the judge, requested to investigate it, invegistation turned out positive, and the judge said Epic was right. Which lead to the judgment on the first page and me knowing that.
Nintendo should get rid of Dyack. Get some fresh blood into the team. And make then work on Eternal Darkness 2.Yeah it looks like, as of March 2012, Nintendo owns a minority share of SK.
So is it worth while to let the company go bankrupt or increase to majority share owner and attempt to make it a success?
