It's a shame the game got cancled, I was looking forward to it, it just goes to show that videogames are still not considered to be a respectable form of storytelling by the media yet.

 

[Dragonblade146]

It really did look like a good game...
Oh well.
Mabye sometime in the future...

Why did it get cancled? Dang that looked like a good game....

Atomic Games is still developing the game. Konami just dropped it as Publisher. Sort of like what happened to Ghostbusters.

 

[MarsProbe]

Here's hoping the game will still get released. There must be a publisher out there somewhere who will pick it up surely?

I'm guessing it received skepticism for the same reasons "The Kingdom" received uneasy approach when it was first released in theaters: A medium attempts to capture the story of a major event during a time where the world is still feeling the effects of that event and the developers release said story to a pansy, hyper-sensitive society that screams "mockery" every time someone tries to convey a powerful story (the Battle of Fallujah) in a compelling and profound way. This is the same vocal minority that would condemn Winnie the Pooh because they thought Eeyore was too depressing.

I cannot speak on behalf of the Marine Corps, but I can say that I know a few of my brothers who would love to support a game like this.

 

[Phyroxis]

Yeah. The game didn't get canceled, Konami just discovered they don't have the balls to bring the industry to another level.

There was NO lead in into talking about the Fallujah game. Seemed odd.

that wasnt the introduction to the game just a keynote for atomic's seminar. It was announced 4 days prior to this keynote.

 

[Elminsters Hat]

This looks very promising. If they manage to combine the story they want to tell with CoD4-like gameplay it will definitely be a very good game.

I mean when swithing topics. He just jumped from talking about the one thing then without any lead in talked about the game.
