Forums - Microsoft - Gore Verbinski’s Kinect game Matter cancelled

VG247

Gore Verbinski was making a Kinect game with Blind Wink called Matter. Now he is not. “Microsoft Studios is no longer pursuing this title,” a spokesperson told Joystiq.

In response to this reveal, Superannuation did some digging and found that a number of Blind Wink staffers left the company in the second half of last year, and he also discovered some anonymous NeoGAF posts discussing the game’s allegedly troubled production.

“it sounded like the absolute worst case of ‘they have zero idea how to make a videogame’ which I’d ever heard of – by a longshot,” one post said. You can read the other here.

what a shame, if they didn't know how to make a video game, it would have been so much more fun for us if it actually released!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
