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."

    I have to admit I'm starting to get really pissed off when people only say PS2/Xbox and forget GameCube. -_-x

    StarCraft Ghost is for all 3 lets not forget that. Infact I have Ghost reserved for the GameCube.

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

    Contrast this to EA.

    EA:"It will be ready in six months, three months, two weeks. Actually here it is now. That'll be 60 euro"
    EA Junkie:"But this won't even start up. I.. I don't think it's even compiled?"
    EA:"It's got classy pictures on the front and a cool CG intro. That'll be 60 euro"
    EA Junkie:"The controls don't respond, wait there are no controls, it's just a rolling cutscence."
    EA:"The graphics are state of the art polyres, reflective,raytaced 3D with rasterised flipflop and EA's (EA)award winning Mujagavi Engine. There are lude women in it. That'll be 60 euro"
    EA Junkie:"Who is this guy on screen? What the hell's going on? This doesn't make any sense? Where's the story?"
    EA:"The plot is an intricate suspensful, thriller action mixing real time combat with sophisticated plot twists and puzzle oriented action sequences. That'll be 60 euro"
    EA Junkie:"I don't think I like this at all."
    EA:"It's a sports game with celebritys."
    EA Junkie:"Hot Danm!!"
    EA:"That'll be 60 euro!*grins*"

    P.S. Why the hell won't the euro symbol show up on slashdot
