Another one bites the dust...

"Faith and a .45" a really slick looking Shooter set during the Great Depression has been put on hold by it's Danish developers. This saddens me as this was a truly interesting looking IP full of Car Chases, Gun Fights and some really awesome anachronisms. I was really looking forward to this one.

Here's hoping Dark Void and Damnation don't also bite the dust, otherwise 2009 will be a very depressing year for game releases.

Damnation looks like garbage, but Faith and a .45 looked great. Sad times.

Just read that an hour ago, sucks... It looked really interesting, and there aren't that many serious developers here in Denmark.

I think Damnation looks interesting, though the game has the foul stench of "Commitee" design about it. Too much pandering to overarching trends.

If its a Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired shooter do you die in the end?

Faith and a .45 might just be the best name to a shooter ever.
And its a shame, it did look pretty nice.

Wow, us Americans must seem a lot more intresting to foreigners...

I wouldn't even go that far -- it looks like it has hackneyed gameplay, tons of borrowed ideas, awkward climbing mechanics and is doing the whole "Like Gears of War, but..." thing. I wish Damnation would have died instead of Faith and a .45.

Judging by how much I dislike the narrative in Gears of War 2, I appreciate other developers stealing the good gameplay mechanics and putting them in a better setting with characters I can actually care about instead of laugh at.
