Rumor: First video of Silicon Knight's Crucible: The Evil Within

by Christopher Grant { Jun 15th 2008 at 10:15PM }

Also uncovered during the great marketing leak of ought-eight was the above video for a game said to be The Crucible, which leads us to assume it's Sega's The Crucible: The Evil Within, a horror game rumored to be developed by Silicon Knights. Though not officially announced, the title has been in development as early as 2006. Though it's unclear which platforms the game is for, it was supposedly in development for next-gen platforms (think 360/PS3). If true, it sounds like Sega's got quite the E3 lineup: Obsidian's Alpha Protocol, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines, of course the Platinum Games ... games, and now this.

GOTY material right there.

Sega's bringing teh funk this year. Hopefully this game won't take 10 years to develope and publish (Too Human, ahem).

Giroro @ Jun 15th 2008 10:22PM

That game doesn't look particularly fun...

And what's up with the audio?

Is there no "run" button in the game?

Chigurh @ Jun 15th 2008 10:30PM

Well that's a dive.

Let's hope Sega strikes gold with the Aliens game.

I'm REALLY hoping they do. Aliens rule.

riggs @ Jun 15th 2008 10:35PM

according to bill nye, so does science.

Holy shit, did someone have diarrhea today? SO MANY LEAKS

Dangeresque @ Jun 15th 2008 11:07PM

Well this is dissapointing. I was hoping for some Phoenix Wright style witch trials.

I knew WoW was coming to cons.....oh wait. Shit nevermind it's just a crappy looking single player knock off.

Jhongerkong @ Jun 15th 2008 11:23PM

Where's Eternal Darkness 2?

Microswirl (MKWii:1676- 4270-3674) @ Jun 16th 2008 2:56AM

It never left your Gamecube memory card... it has been evolving on its own for all these years... just plug that card into your Wii and you'll see...

Peter @ Jun 15th 2008 11:31PM

Which is it, Sega or Silicon Knights? I'm so confused.

bm @ Jun 16th 2008 12:23AM

Ugh... wow. This trailer just makes me depressed about the games industry as a whole. It's like all the generic shit we've become sick of in recent games, balled into one.

Brian Fantana @ Jun 16th 2008 12:34AM

You retards ragging on this game do know it probably is a long ways off from coming out right? Considering it hasn't even been announced yet. I'm sure thats why it looks generic, has almost no audio, and just doesn't look like a good game.

harvsorrow @ Jun 16th 2008 12:52AM

Which is precisely why you rag it Mr. Fantana?

It burns the nostrils!

Brian Fantana @ Jun 16th 2008 1:02AM

"It burns the nostrils!"

Nice!

ComradeTrotskii @ Jun 16th 2008 9:41AM

I know that, but then one has to ask this:

Why on earth has someone allowed this video to leak? I can see no reason for allowing this to viewed anywhere outside of corporate HQ. That stupidity alone merits it getting ragged on.

Mike F. @ Jun 16th 2008 12:51AM

That music is from the Gladiator soundtrack.

mister_d @ Jun 16th 2008 1:50AM

If this is a horror game it is seriously lacking in the horror department. Looks like a generic fantasy RPG you'd expect to find on the PC. That's not to say it looks bad though.

gLitterbug @ Jun 16th 2008 10:58AM

Everyone will go OMG when it is anounced that it'll be a Wii exclusive.

Misfit Toy @ Jun 16th 2008 12:18PM

Please no! I own a Wii and I don't even want any games to be exclusive on it.

I'd rather see it on the 360 first, and then maybe the PS3. But the Wii is so last gen in its HorsePower. Any big game to come out on the Wii would likely be underwhemling in comparison to the more capable systems.

Leave the Wii for the casual crowd and the occassional Zelda and Mario and put all the hardcore gamer-games on the real systems please and thank you.
