It wasn't the hardware that was screwing them oer with it, it was the gameplay. Since they cosidered Rogue Leader's gameplay to be good, I am glad it didn't make it out.Quote:

However, Eggebrecht was quick to dispel any "doom" that might surround Factor 5's announcement. Echoing Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack, he emphasized his enthusiasm for Nintendo's future console efforts. "We are extremely excited about both DS and GCNext, so any talk of us abandoning Nintendo platforms altogether is just not true," he told GameSpot.
According to Eggebrecht, the only reason Factor 5 has stopped making GameCube games was that they've abandoned current-generation hardware altogether. "It is simply because we have moved into next-generation development," he said.
As for which future console Factor 5 was creating games for, Eggebrecht was unspecific, saying only "there might be a surprise [announcement] coming from us."
Their Turrican games were excellent, couldn't care less about the numerous Star Wars titles. *-neo
Actually, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is the best selling third party title for the Cube. But anyway, I'm dissapointed by this, I was really hoping they were doing a Cube Pilotwings title. I mean, Rebel Strike's on-foot stuff was fucking hideous (from the demo, at least), but Factor 5 definitely knows how to push the Cube's graphical buttons, and the flight-based gameplay of the Rogue Squadron series has always been good imo, so it seemed like a perfect match to me :(
If you mean they're cutting off their own tits, then... yes.Quote:

DOA3 topped 2 million? I never heard anything after the one million it broke in July 2002. You sure you didn't get that mixxed up with MK:DA wich did across all platforms?Quote:

But the 2 million mark is a big occasion for any game. Most sites report that achievement especially if it is on a secondary console like the Xbox or GC.Quote:
