"Crap..."

No Worms Forts for the GameCube. I seems that yet another development team has pulled out of Cube support, which obviously isn't a good thing at all.

Worms 3D was great fun, it's quite a bit rubbish that we won't get the sequel.

Bah.

On a lighter note, Dringo will most likely be pleased to see this: [URL]http://www.instat.com/press.asp?ID=951&sku=IN0401151ID[/URL]

I completely and utterly agree. Rainbow Six 3 couldn't live with the likes of Mario or Metroid online. Its because whilst RS3 is absoulutely superb online, single player is rather poor, and Nintendo are well known for single player gorgeousness. If Nintendo could encorporate a good online mode into their classic titles they'd be unstoppable, and we re-capture all Nintendo fans that have switched to other platforms.

I'm just stating the official line.

Team 17 were discussing their "future game" and that it wouldn't be appearing on the Gamecube. Every site went mad declaring "Team 17 leave Nintendo" and they hit back saying "We maybe, it's just our publisher hasn't asked us to produce a Gamecube version of our secret title".

Well just add that to my list of mistakes then. Strange though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sega published Worms 3D.. will they be publishing this new one? I can't see why Sega would have any problems making a Ninty version.. maybe it is just Team 17.

Nice to know I got something right..

Not yet, or that we know of yet. But Codemasters is basically going to. [URL]http://www.cubed-3.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2103[/URL]

You obviously missed the re-admittance from them claiming "they'd work on the Gamecube if the publisher let them".

As for Free Radical no one owns them and no one is publishing Second Sight yet.

Ok, I screw up. When I said Eidos, I meant to say Codemasters. :D

EA are definately publishing TimeSplitters 3, but they haven't bought out Free Radical. Unsure about Burnout.. I only heard they were publishing, not buying out the people who make it (Criterion games, if my memory serves me right.. which it's just been proved that it hasn't).

So Eidos aren't publishing Second Sight, then?

I thought, along with the rights to both TimeSplitters and Burnout, EA aquired the two development teams, too. That's why there was so much talk of them working on Goldeneye 2.

Ubisoft aren't crap, they're one of the best software developers around today.

I do hold a grudge against them for totally miscalculating the amount Harvest Moon would sell.. but you're just completely disregarding the brilliance of two *original* games from the frenchie bit of UbiSoft. XIII and Beyond Good and Evil. Top class titles and not sequels at all.

*Sigh*

Free Radical Design hasn't been bought out by anyone.

EA is just publishing TimeSplitters: Perfect Future for them.

The Gamecube can go online althoughg it is very small at the moment with only one game working online. Phantasy Star the thing is because this is the only game online and it is on Xbox no buy's the GC version even though it is a great game. I myself have been onnline with the game and it is very quiet. Im not sure if the servers are shut down after it flopped but it was fun to battle mates.

I wasn't aware EA had bought out Free Radical. Last I heard, Codemasters were closest to buying them.
