At least now I don't have to consider buying this cool sounding and looking game with the fear that Pete Molyneux worked his magic and sucked all the fun and cool out of it somehow. I wonder how much of this was from backlash about Fable and the limitations imposed by the xbox hardware (since BC was a pc/xbox title). Kinda sad, kinda happy.

I think I heard about it...once. Was ANYONE highly anticipating it? What was it about? Games get canceled every day, and probably every 12 hours - why was this news?

Title: BC Cancelled Post by: SirBruce on October 22, 2004, 03:18:59 PM Yeah, when we saw previews of it at GDC, I thought, "Whoa, you're finishing up Fable, you're still working on The Movies, and you've started work on Black & White 2 -- where are you going to find time to do all this?" Plus they've got another unannounced project they're working on too. However, Lionhead did just get a bunch of funding, so if Peter doesn't have to be involved intimately in every release, then maybe they could have pulled it off. Oh well.
There hasn't been a good "sticks and stones' game in a long time. I've got some designs for sticks and stones MMOGs. Bruce |
