I would've have been giddy to see what fruit that Oliver Twist would have bare. Hasn't it been stated that 20% or less these days of game concepts get green lighted?
Thanks for the info. This inspired me to do a bit of digging.gutter_trash said:I just went for an interview and was really pumped to possibly get hired to work on it because they told me broad idea about the game with not too many specifics.
this is the first time that I ever see any art for it.
I was sad when my friends told me about the cancellation(s) that where going on because I was really looking forward going to work on something that was original
Source: http://www.bluesnews.com/s/104888Blue's News said:Following the revelation of development of a project called Gunhead at Electronic Arts Vancouver, we received more information about the game from a developer who wishes to remain anonymous, who describes being pitched the project around six years ago. "On the off chance you were interested in more info on this EA project, the gist of it is that the main character is a guy whose head is a gun. That's it," he tells us. "EA has been trying to get this game made for ages now. ... It was a pretty lame idea, and we had no real interest in developing it for them. Every so often, I hear it pop up here and there, and it makes me laugh that they are still trying. I really must wonder who's baby the idea is for it to not have died a well deserved death yet..."

Thanks superannuation, who also point out the client listing on the Feng Zhu Design Website shows Dark Space as another project for EA on which they are working, though it seems possible this actually refers to Dead Space.

Gun Head:
No it doesn't.ShinoguTakeruKoeru said:It looks like that post-apocalyptic adaptation that Gary Whitta was working on, if I recall rightly. I heard it was moving forward as a comic I think, maybe a game adaptation too?

Beyond Good & Evil strikes me more as a touchstone, but I imagine it only exists as not much more than a pitch presentation.Maxrpg said:Oliver Twist looks like an Assassin's Creed clone. Just with the exploring city part.
Rumors say that is what Starbreeze is working on.Peronthious said:Oliver twist looks like it could have been pretty neat.

But they're doing the Bourne game. Do they have a big enough team to work on two projects?cuyahoga said:Rumors say that is what Starbreeze is working on.
Plywood said:Looks alot better than most of the stuff most companies come up with nowadays. :/
Yes, two teams; Syndicate would be Redlime.I AM JOHN! said:But they're doing the Bourne game. Do they have a big enough team to work on two projects?

I want to see this game made so badly.Haunted said:Who the fuck is responsible for not greenlighting Gun Head?? Fire the man! That's a fucking million seller right there.
Because two guns are cooler than one. Come on!
