Any info on Lost Boys' KIN, supposed Halo killer (PS2)??

[megateto]

I've just seen a thread in Edge's forums in which they talk about this possible Halo killer, Kin, developed by Lost Boys, after a short comment in PSW: KIN = Sony's FPS (halo killa).

In their website they say something about an undisclosed exclusive title for SCEE, but nothing more.
Anyone out there has any extra info?

It would be amazing if a DevCo with as little track record as Lost Boys was able to produce a title as good as Halo first time out of the trap.

It's not like Bungie hadn't already developed 3 killers FPSs already + Myths which had a big impact on Halo as it was originally an RTS.

The last time Edge went to visit Lost Boys was in Feb 2001. They had 3 games in development at that time. Call of the Dragonfly (Xbox), Knights (PS2), Kaisertal (GBA).

Which one of these 3 saw release?

Sony needn't worry thay have 2 other Halo killers in the works, one developed by Criterion which might actually deliver, and another from one of Sony's internal teams in the US.

I thought so too, specially when nobody seems to have a clue about it (do sleeper hits exist anymore).

On the other games you mention, there's been some rumours about Criterion's game, but I hadn't ever heard about the SCEA one. Do you have any extra info?

I think the true halo killer will be halo 2. Who knows if this phantom game talked about will be able to top that...

It was confirmed by Criterion people that they are not making any Sony-exclusive game, Halo killer or anything like that. I think the whole Sony FPS thing has gone too far.

well considering the whole project would be under NDA, of course they'd say there is no such game at this time, even if there were. You never know though. Either way, I'm curious to see what ideas Sony will have with Kin.

and whatever media outlets who come up with these constant "halo killas, zelda killas, etc should please stfu, cause it never happens and it gets old...
