Chrono Ressurrection Forced to Cease & Desist

Posted by timothy on from the shame dept.

Kethinov writes "The Chrono Ressurrection Project (previously mentioned on /. here), an attempted 3d remake of the popular 2d game Chrono Trigger, has been shut down by Squenix in the form of a cease and desist letter. Quoth their website, "it is with our deepest regrets in that we have to announce the closure of the Chrono Resurrection project. Square Enix Co., Ltd recently issued a Cease and Desist letter which will mean the project is closed indefinitely." The site retains two trailers and a number of screenshots."

  1. That was predictable. by Dark+Lord+Seth · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Constantly rehashing Squaresoft titles into new titles with only minor and insignificant changes is the only way Square-Enix makes games nowadays.

    Can't have your biggest fans steal your business model, hmm?

    Mwoah ; i don't agree on those points ;

    This was a Fan project ; they loved the game, think it would even rock more in 3D : And went along and (almost) did it.

    Maybe this project has shown them that they -do- have the capabilities to create alot of assets, and they might want to go on ; in the direction you say.

    Respect, on my side, is not lost ; Just because they used a world/story/game , and ported it to their vision :
    In that mindset ; -every- sequel of -every- game, would not get as much respect as the 'first' ; and that is not the case (taking Super Mario Bros. as an example)
