Rumor: Factor 5 projects still being worked on, Silicon Knights developing Wii title
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 5 Comments
A few rumors regarding Factor 5 and Silicon Knights have popped up, mostly related to the Wii. First off, in spite of the well-known issues Factor 5 has been facing, apparently all projects are still being worked on. Additionally, an announcement is expected from the company in the next two weeks. Will we finally hear word on Kid Icarus?
Also noteworthy is Silicon Knights interest in the Nintendo’s console. Though nothing has been confirmed outright, the latest rumors state that the company might be creating a Wii game. Silicon Knights has expressed openness to the system before, and has had experience with a Nintendo system before (GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes/Eternal Darkness).
Lastly, there has been some talk about Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop and the zombie count yet again. Concerns about the number of zombies has been well-documented, but apparently there will be a sufficient amount. This statement is quite similar to what Nintendo Power said in a previous issue.
