Blimblim · (12-25-2008, 06:51 AM)

No surprise, but it still sucks :(

Clevinger · (12-25-2008, 06:51 AM)

not a good christmas present...

Router · (12-25-2008, 06:51 AM)

That's a shame.

Guled · (12-25-2008, 06:51 AM)

this sucks, I wonder what they are working on now then

Rez · (12-25-2008, 06:52 AM)

What was Cry On?

John Harker · (12-25-2008, 06:52 AM)

Does it give rational?

Mejilan · (12-25-2008, 06:52 AM)

Yeah, after so long, it was pretty much vaporware in any event.

0 HP · (12-25-2008, 06:53 AM)

oh fuck, its the beginning of the end :(

AgentOtaku · (12-25-2008, 06:54 AM)

WHHAA THA FOCK!

duckroll · (12-25-2008, 06:54 AM)

Lolz. Called it.

~Devil Trigger~ · (12-25-2008, 06:54 AM)

why is this a shame again?

Conflict NZ · (12-25-2008, 06:54 AM)

Damn you MS, did you not learn anything from IU, ToV and TLR? Whoever decides to pick up Mistwalker will have my support.

What does this have to do with MS?

Because Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are great games?

Shadowlink · (12-25-2008, 06:56 AM)

Not really surprising because we didn't hear anything about this game for a while.

The new Blue Dragon pseudo-MMO on the DS with Bandai Namco?

How come they didn't make it a multi-platform game?

PepsimanVsJoe · (12-25-2008, 06:59 AM)

RBH · (12-25-2008, 07:01 AM)

So what does Mistwalker's future on the 360 look like?

Are Blue Dragon 2 and/or Lost Odyssey 2 still possibilities?

First they would have to make a game first. Obviously, that didn't pan out, so why does the platform even matter?

That would depend on MS.

_Xenon_ · (12-25-2008, 07:02 AM)

It seems Mistwalker is basically dumped by MS. Man, I was hoping for a LO sequel...

oh, devs, ok

Shadowlink · (12-25-2008, 07:03 AM)

I won't be surprised if their next console game is a Wii game.

Zoso · (12-25-2008, 07:04 AM)

I just hope Mistwalker stays afloat. Shame about Cry On.

jj984jj · (12-25-2008, 07:04 AM)

Noooooooo! What an awful X-Mas present. :(

TEH-CJ · (12-25-2008, 07:05 AM)

The xbox360 is canceled ?

wut

`Moe Joe. · (12-25-2008, 07:05 AM)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Wasn't there an article about Sakaguchi and co. working on an RPG; ironing the flaws, ins and outs out of it? Maybe it's a different title.

I want Mistwalker to live though :(

Don't die!

Spirit of Jazz · (12-25-2008, 07:05 AM)

Like Gooch will ever let one of his truly interesting concepts come to fruition.

Who wants ICO x SotC when we can have a party of misfits save for world with love and shitty Deus Ex Machina enducing shitty songs!

I'm calling it being cancelled due to a Gooch and Itagaki colab, as if Itagaki would allow himself to be associated with pussy emotions: Tit's On is the future.

Aaron · (12-25-2008, 07:06 AM)

Hard to feel sad about something that didn't seem to go beyond concept art. I'm glad enough they're keeping Blue Dragon going in some form. The original game has a charm that's very rare in videogames.

If they couldn't finish a 360 version they didn't have much chance of finishing a PS3 version.

Lebron · (12-25-2008, 07:09 AM)

Bah, humbug!

I haven't read the press release (Can't speak the language) but I assumed, as with all Console Mistwalker games, that Microsoft would be publishing it, therefore if it is axed then it is because MS did so.

Microsoft had nothing to do with Cry On, I don't see this as a sign of anything.

PepsimanVsJoe · (12-25-2008, 07:11 AM)

On the bright side due to my constant flow of bitter tears I can't fall asleep and thus I'll be able to keep tabs on this ebay auction that ends in like 5 hours. =/

Either way tomorrow is going to suck eggs.

Nif · (12-25-2008, 07:11 AM)

Poor Gooch. :( I like Mistwalker, but they really need a hit title.

Psychotext · (12-25-2008, 07:13 AM)

Yay for the first thread I open on xmas morning.

:(

Cry On always was an AQ Interactive game. It was never published or funded by MS in any form or way. It was announced 3 years ago in December by AQ Interactive has a huge big budget collaboration with Mistwalker, and would have been an action RPG game with adventure elements and a graphics engine that would be able to render toon-shaded graphics of Ghibli movie quality. 3 years later, it's now obvious that Cavia simply couldn't deliver the goods.

Paznos · (12-25-2008, 07:16 AM)

Thought the game was already being made.

AQ Interactive was publishing it. MS had nothing to do with this one.

Odrion · (12-25-2008, 07:18 AM)

this far and no one made a pun yet?

proud of gaf

I don't think unfinished goods count.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

:(

PepsimanVsJoe · (12-25-2008, 07:22 AM)

And here I was hoping against hope that Drakengard 2 wasn't a fluke and Cavia is capable of delivering a good game when they put forth the effort.

But dammit things just aren't going to work out that way. Now I've got to worry about them even being capable of putting out a game.
