StarCraft Ghost Developer Dropped From Project?

Posted by simoniker on from the trouble-in-paradise dept.

Thanks to HomeLAN Fed for its news story revealing StarCraft: Ghost developer Nihilistic is no longer attached to the still-in-development tactical action game. According to an official Blizzard statement: "Nihilistic has completed its contribution on StarCraft: Ghost. They are contracted to begin work on another project in the months ahead. Due to the requirements of that obligation and the delay of StarCraft, it was mutually determined that now would be the best time for them to complete their work." The PS2/Xbox/GameCube title was announced as delayed late last week, at which point Blizzard simply stated: "We plan to build additional time into the schedule to polish the game."

    Getting more people in on the content side will likely flesh out the storyline and make for some more interesting gameplay.

    Sides talented engineers should be kept working on new engines, SC:G was planned back in the days of DX 8.1 so it'll be good to get these guys working on something new, which will hopefully be a contender with the big three.

    Last I knew the GameCube owned a small percentage more of the Market then the Xbox. ...in Japan.
