Too Human seems most likely to me.

 - costing too much money

 - internal evaluation decided that game is not ready, and may need another 9-12 months

 - court issues with Epic, will prevent title from going out using Unreal 3 tech - and they will not license it to Silicon Knights for future titles. 

...

Could be a load of BS though. No way its Banjo - easiest, safest title for MS to make. Probably not Halo Wars or Alan Wake either. 


Have you lost it shams?

MS just held a news event for Too Human, very positive reviews, and the game is set for early next year! (Jan or feb) Thats like nintendo suddenly just canceling brawl, its way to close to release. The game is 3-4 months away, MS would be insane to cancel it, that and its 3rd party. Also Silicon confirmed it was not their game that got canceled

Again im guessing that marvel game, or halo project



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Yeah but Silicon Knights is third party. Therefore if we take the rumour at face-value, Too Human is not the game being discussed. Also i'm not sure if its this article or another one I read, but it was right to point out that Too Human is easily the 360's best answer to God of War 3. Also, Banjo is its best answer to R & C and Galaxy (Banjo would kick R & C's ass and nearly match Galaxy). If we were basing our guesses on which game is LEAST needed from a MARKET perspective, it would be Fable 2. The 360 already has Oblivion, Mass Effect and a now-patched Two Worlds. That said, I hope to God they don't can Fable 2, I own Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters, and they both rock (too short though).

too human anwer to GoW 3? No way, i guess you dont know much about too human, in no way is it trying to compete in that genre.

It will not be fable, MS would be insane to cancel that.

FOr the 3rd time, im guessing its that Marvel Online thing, or another game. Heck we dont even know if its true, 1up was also danm sure that the FF remake was going to occur and even pinpointed a release date. Never happened

Big titles:

Fable 2
Halo Wars
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Lost Odyssey
GTAIV
too Human
Dark Sector
2 Days 2 Vegas

those are all I can think of right now... Any one of those would be a lose.

If it is just an anticipated game for a long time it will be Haze. I noticed it disappeared off the GameStop pre-order site about a week ago. It does qualify as being in development for a long time.

But, I thought they said first party. so that would be the Peter Jackson Halo project I would assume then. It has been talked about for a long time and it hasn't had any trailers so it is not off its feet.

Banjo is going to be fine...





starcraft on 12 November 2007

Yeah well, Banjo better be fine, or heads are going to roll. By which i mean im going to lock myself in my room and cry

Wait, wait 1up rumors aren't very credible? Bionic Commando says hello. Also 3 kingdom hearts games prediction? Among many many others. Most of quarterman's rumors on egm turn out true.

It's funny that the most likely canceled game wasn't mentioned because it's been so long since we heard anything about the game: Alan Wake. I'm almost 100% sure that's the canceled game. Think about, we haven't seen or heard anything about it in ages.

It's not NG2, they just showed that at TGS and hyped and it looks like it will come out in the next 6 months in Japan. It's not Too Human, 1up just went and saw the game and said it was looking great and mentioned it will likely come sometime in the next year. It's not Banjo because MS needs that game very badly.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Going by the rumours that MGS is trying to get rid of inhouse studios and will just buy exclusives if and when they need them.

Along with the FACT that RARE hasn't been a good buy for MS.

It could very well be the nail in the coffin with the RARE/MS connection....we shall see.
