What the heck... Crackdown delayed too?

MGS is just becoming one big mess of a publisher.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I'm going to make a stand and say Killzone 2.

heh now that's the real wild card. I wonder if that game ever appears again

2007 is the new 2006.

I thought Mass Effect was always Winter

 

[Odysseus]

I thought Mass Effect was always Winter

It was pitched as Winter 06/07, at some point 06 was given as the release date with a wink, then they admitted it was completely 07. I say the later the better, but that's just my own selfishness talking.

 

[GhaleonEB]

is this still a trilogy?

 

[PleoMax]

is this still a trilogy?

Yes.

 

[clashfan]

I'm willing to wait and give this game a chance. Eternal Darkness was a good game so I still have high hopes for this game.

 

[Odysseus]

Oh, it makes you want to cringe, doesn't it? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE!

In actuality, I believe they've confirmed there's some simultaneous development going on. Once they get all the engine work done and the game mechanics nailed down, it shouldn't be so hard to finalize the latter two games (but what do I know, I'm not a developer). Insomniac and Naughty Dog managed to get sequels out every year or so, and Ubisoft did the same with Prince of Persia, and all of those games were well received.

Yeah, but those guys are, y'know, accomplished developers.

Silicon Knights is accomplished.

I looked at your avatar and thought I was in the Mass Effect thread. But good to know about Too Human! :lol

I blame sangreal.

Accomplished indeed.

 

[Odysseus]

Accomplished indeed.

I was thinking of that exact picture when I typed that thinking "this is not going to end well." :lol

Both Insomniac and Naughty Dog are excellent technical developers, which Silicon Knights has never been, Ubisoft Montreal has some of the worst bugs in their POP games, POP2 had a NASTY fatal bug right before the end of the game. We'll see though, the 3D action genre is VERY competitive right now, I just don't see the right analog stick melee thing working out for them, I think they will eventually adapt a more conventional control scheme and use the right analog stick for the camera.

 

[professor_t]

Judging by the responses in this thread, they probably were better off keeping it under wraps.

I still have some hope left for the title, but it's at or near the bottom of my "must see" list.

 

[HocusPocus]

Best thing they and Microsoft could do is delay the game a year, and not show it again until it's virtually finished.

 

[Choabac]

I just don't see the right analog stick melee thing working out for them, I think they will eventually adapt a more conventional control scheme and use the right analog stick for the camera.

I actually hope they don’t change the control scheme; it looks like it could work really well, providing they get the auto camera in check.

 

[Ark-AMN]

I still have hope!

 

[beelzebozo]

I still have hope!

me too, dude.

 

[Scrow]

You would

So we'll see Too Human again in 2008?

 

[X26]

Maybe MS did the smart thing and bailed out, and if so they'll be losing a lot less money this gen

 

[Mifune]

I don't think they bailed out. Peter Moore said it was coming soon or something like that at the X06 conference.

I still believe.

I hope they do change it, because it didn't work well at all at E3.

 

[KGKK]

I wonder if the right analog stick action will be as good as Jet li's game. What was it called again?

 

[Ark-AMN]

I'm pretty sure they've already committed a lot of money to the project so it's not as if they'll be saving themselves some change, and in MS's case, they don't really seem to care about that sort of thing as much as other companies do.

I still keep coming back to a figure I've heard before that the whole Too Human trilogy will cost MS close to 100 million dollars or so. I still wish I could remember where I heard that.
