Factor 5 finished Pilotwings, Nintendo publishing it questionable?
Monday, November 2, 2009
Rumor: From what ex-Factor 5 employees say, they were not only working on Pilotwings, but completely finished with the title.
A mysterious blogger has posted an article that he/she says was written with ex-Factor 5 employees. The posting tells why Factor 5 hit trouble, and what titles they were actually working on. Factor 5 was indeed working on Pilotwings from what was written, but also a new Star Wars Rogue Squadron, and a Wii port of Brutal Legend. The last two were scrapped while the blogger states that Factor 5 Pilotwings had “been finished.”
Rumor: Assets seen earlier in the year were for Pilotwings
The rumored assets that were uncovered earlier in the year were actually assets for Pilotwings. CEO Achim Moller of Factor 5 GmbH suggests that he is “unsure whether both of these titles will see a release, suggesting that Nintendo ... are not confident on publishing their Factor 5-developed game.”[1]
Was the quality not up to Nintendo standards? Is this true at all?
Whether the rumor is true or not, this article is the best information we have about what might have happened to the Wii games produced by Factor 5. Unfortunately, Wii owners might have to wait longer than we think for the Pilotwings we all want.
