While I highly doubt the rumor there are only two realistic possibilities. Either the title is Marvel Universe Online, or Wingnut interactive has gone belly up. Both have far better chances then the other speculations. I always felt the legal groundwork under Marvel was unstable. With NCsoft going to the Sony camp. Three super hero MMORPGs on the market, and all the licensing issues that should arise out of that. Not to mention the relationship between Sony pictures and Marvel. Not to mention the financial health of cryptic is questionable.
Honestly I also thought Wingnut was a pipe dream out of the gate. Downloadable episodic content. Sounds good on paper, but not in real life. While a person is sitting in front of their console wanting a game. Especially if they are not online, or they do not have a hard drive. So perhaps the plans were too grand.
That said enough with the ragging on Rare. They are far more integral to Microsofts plan and studios then you think. Not only is Microsoft using them to balance their library. They are also spreading them out among other teams. You know what the last game Rare worked on was. Oh yeah a little title called Halo 3. Seriously give it a rest.
