Galaxy Andromeda (formerly IG3) is Dead

[arrrse]

OK, I haven't been in here for ages so appologies if this has already been posted here.
Its also a couple of weeks old by now...

Galaxy Andromeda is dead, canceled, no more :(

CDV is concentrating on getting BREED out & made a big loss so they cut GA.

:mad: :down: :cry: :confused: :(

Close to 1 million dollars I think! That's like only the budget of an avarage game you if you ask me!

[arrrse]

hmm I thought it was more than that.

Anyway I'm more surprised that it took them so long to cancel it rather than that it was cancelled really.

2 minutes of silence in memoriam...

Oh, and before I forget (I already forgot as its my second post in 3 minutes, sorry :rolleyes: ) It might not be completely dead as Mithis (you know the developers that split from Philos Labs, who were meant to make the game) is working on a sci-fi tactical/action game called W.A.R.P. that could be a slight mutation of the game. Well nothing is really said about it, but who knows. Hope dies for the last. :)

CDV(the publisher) is in a really bad state! It seems that they wanna close their UK office nad recently they laid off 17 people from the Germany branch!

[arrrse]

I can only hope that the WARP game is infact a variant or continuation of IG3/GA :)

I get the impression that CDV is pinning all its hopes on BREED selling well.

Given that they have considerably pissed me off + they wrecked the cool design of the soldiers & vehicles, I ain't buying BREED.

Homeworld2 & Halo yes.
Halflife2 probably not even though it'll be technically superior to both but I have a rather limited budget & rather need to buy some new pants, visit the dentist & buy new glasses...

Is Breed similar to Planetside?

[arrrse]

Kinda more like Halo I think (don't know much about planetside) but with huge maps, a squad of teammates you can swap between, lots of vehicles to drive, space combat, ground combat, transition between space & ground and freedom to complete missions however you want to rather than the narrow scripting of Halo.

It started out with really cool vehicle, weapon & spacesuit/armour designs but since then they've pumped up the poly count & altered most of them in a way that looses the cool :down:

Well if enough people boycoytt CDV then they will go booom!:)

Im there. Talk about it in The CDV general topic.

[Karthik]

No use crying over spilled milk!

[Born Acorn]

you mean spilled budget

[Karthik]

Um..yeah!:eek:

[Born Acorn]

CDV couldn't release it because they made their budget smaller and Galxy Andromeda was to big financial-wise

[Karthik]

But I'm sure GA didn't cost more than 1 million, right?

[Born Acorn]

I dunno I'm not a publisher:p

[TRAPPER]

hmm.. well. I left that sinking ship a long time ago. Even before IG3 was cancelled. I wonder now how thing are going with Heagomonia.



*goes and see.

[Strykur]
