On the other hand, I am somewhat concerned now that the game will never see the light of day. Retro have a terrible track record of games getting stuck in development hell and  canned, and spending years accomplishing nothing.

What track record of this do they have prior to 2014? It honestly seems like a stretch to get all of this out of a few years, especially if they were working on more than one game.

Back in the 6th gen they had a ton of projects that stalled and got canned; Thunder Rally, Retro Football, Raven Blade, an unnamed action adventure title. They pulled themselves together and did well from Prime 2 to Tropical Freeze, but since then we've seen them yet again fall into many years of not only having nothing to show for themselves but according to rumor also having projects go off the rails. Then there was the incident last year where a couple of ex-employees alleged that behind closed doors the studio had become a circus, with poor management preventing anything getting done.

They're just not a studio I have any confidence in.
