Siren in the Maelstrom (new SK project name)

[Ozymandias]

Telefilm Canada has announced the 56 new media projects it is helping fund for the next year. And if you scroll down you'll see a certain enigmatically named project from a certain St. Catharines-based developer that certain message board posters like to hear info about.

So what is it? SitM would make a pretty good subtitle for an Eternal Darkness game. Or something else psychological-thriller-y. Or maybe it's just a codename for SK's new badminton game for the Wii.

The name is quite elusive; could be anything, really.

Surprised at the lack of posts here.

Denis **** bricks when I mentioned this in the party. Apparently this wasn't supposed to be leaked.

That's not good. Oh well to late, we know now, he can't stop us.

[AKAtheMilkman]

denis was about to have a heart attack. i wished i could have seen his face.

oh man, someones gonna get a foot in there *** come monday

[Hawk280]

Would it be SK's fault that it got leaked or more of that websites fault? It seems that SK couldn't have prevented the leak, it was just a report on what was being funded for what companies and for the product.

I don't I could be way off here but that's what it seems to me.

[AKAtheDopeman]

It's not anyone in SK's fault.

[AKAtheMilkman]

it's nothing to do with a website or sk. it was a release from the company that gives out government grants. they don't understand the concept of secret projects

[RAziel1979]

I was like OOH NOOOO!!! when Denis was about to have a heart attack!!!
Jesus Christ! how can they do that to the man on his B-day!!! BASTARDS!!lol

[RAziel1979]

Where did you get the pic from ASE?lol

[theALLseeingEYE]

All I'm going to say, is the title of the game itself is enough to get me super excited.

It sounds different, perhaps more story based than Too Human was. I'd love to see them return to a Dark horror style game, perhaps an evolution of what they had in Eternal Darkness, but different. Different setting, different style, but smart, creative, and interesting.

Bah, the worst part about this, is we probably won't hear much of anything more for a while. I can't wait to see more though.

Where did you get the pic from ASE?lol

I just google searched Maelstrom, saw it, and was like, hey, thats sweet. Probably nothing like the game, but cool nonetheless, and depicts a maelstrom in an awesome picture.

here, a present from me for all you non frenchy speakers
