Hero-of-Time Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Just seen this on GoNintendo Rumors Bizarre making the new James Bond game EA Chicago was making a Guitar Hero inspired action game Nintendo canceled 1st party game because developers wanted to let players customize their Mii’s Need for Speed will fluctuate between realistic and arcade style FF:CC Crystal Bearers “appears to be in trouble†Im hoping that this doesnt end up get canned as I really want a good RPG on the Wii and S-E usually deliver the goods.
jammy2211 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Not heard of that rumour before, that game has seemingly disappeared though. They had an in-game trailer last time we heard about it though *shrug*. Time shall tell I guess. I'm assuming they're talking about the Wii game and not the WiiWare game? Actually I remember a while back they said FFXIII was in trouble, or something along those lines. It does seem odd how this wasn't at TGS, or the upcoming games event in Japan where SE are present. Whether it's been cancelled, going under some major reworking, or just going along at the originally expected pace is anyones guess. Hopefully we'll find out sooner or later, I seriously doubt it'll be canned altogether though.
Tales Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 It will not be viewable in any form in SE's Jump festival or whatever it's called. The Wiiware game however will have a trailer. I hope the rumour is not true. I have been looking forward to this a lot, especially when I heard single player is the main focus in the game.
ShadowV7 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Well FF : CC as people have said, has not been seen in ages nor is it in any events soon. I'm really worried about this actually. I hope it's false cause I think it looks amazing and I <3 RPGs...
Hero-of-Time Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 I'm not buying it. The game? The rumour? Both?
Hellfire Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 The game? The rumour? Both? I like being cryptic :P The rumour of course eheh
DCK Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 No wai! Don't take Crystal Bearers, it looks awesome. Although, it was a launch game and all we have was a trailer. Come on Crystal Bearers team! Also, WTF @ 1st party game cancellation? What do the Miis have to do with anything?
ShadowV7 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Screw the Miis, I would rather have a 1st party game over them anyday.
Slaggis Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Final Fantasy has never interested me so that doesn't really bother me, but why was a 1st part game scrapped?
darksnowman Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 It would be weird if the Crystal Bearers is scrapped. Maybe they are reworking it? Like has been mentioned, I've read similar things being said about Fabula Nova Crystalis, but thats still coming. We'll get news of it when they are ready, sure that trailer we saw ages ago looked pretty fine, they wouldn't just scrap it. (unless they think its not suited to the Wii audience o.O)
ShadowV7 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 If CC doesn't come out, i'll be heart broken. The trailer that got released looking amazing and made me want it so bad. I wonder what the trouble is though if it is true.
Ren of Heavens Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Nintendo canceled 1st party game because developers wanted to let players customize their Mii’s My first thought is Animal Crossing... Doubt Crystal Bearers is cancelled. Maybe heavily delayed (late 2008?), but not canned.
Tellyn Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I hate it when companies who clearly haven't finished a game give a release date, then show no media or announce anything, and just let it slip into nothing. "FINAL FANTASY AND DRAGON QUEST ARE WII LAUNCH TITLES GUYZ!" *crickets* My first thought is Animal Crossing... Doubt Crystal Bearers is cancelled. Maybe heavily delayed (late 2008?), but not canned. 1. Animal Crossing doesn't use Miis (that we know of). 2. Nintendo wouldn't be stupid enough to cancel Animal Crossing after it's been highly anticipated since before the Wii launch and considering how much the DS version sold.
Zelda_Rulez Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 If CC doesn't come out, i'll be heart broken. The trailer that got released looking amazing and made me want it so bad. Agreed, I hope it stays a rumour. The trailer looked very good.
Pit-Jr Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Nintendo canceled 1st party game because developers wanted to let players customize their Mii’s is this another case of Nintendo playing 'world babysitter' again?
Shoryuken Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 That FF:CC trailer you guys are talking about...was it the one with the style change? That wasn't too long ago, right?
Jamba Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Rumors Nintendo canceled 1st party game because developers wanted to let players customize their Mii’s Totally impossible. Nintendo would/could/should just add on the Mii functionality or just make without. They need more games out and they wouldn't can a game on this basis alone. That would be buisiness suicide. Need for Speed will fluctuate between realistic and arcade style Wow, stating the obvious much? FF:CC Crystal Bearers “appears to be in trouble†Several reasons why I don't believe this. Firstly, I'm guessing that Nintendo have been quite poractive in getting SE on board early on and I don't see them letting this one go so easily. Secondly, some of the other rumours are dubious. Thirdly, why would it be in trouble? Development problems? This is SE we are talking about. They made on of the most robust engines on the DS and they have Gamecube dev experience (again making a gorgeous engine). Only reason I can see it going south is due to buisiness politics.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 11, 2007 Author Posted December 11, 2007 That FF:CC trailer you guys are talking about...was it the one with the style change? That wasn't too long ago, right? Yeah. It kind of had a realistic Skies if Arcadia look to it which is why it MUST come out!!!
