"Driver 3 amongst others canned on Cube...."

Taken from cube-europe.com

"Today at the SEGA event in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, we had a litte chat with Atari. Atari representatives were at the event because Atari distributes the SEGA titles in the Benelux. Unfortunately, Atari brought us some bad news.

Some of you may have already heard of these Cube cancellations. Today Atari confirmed the rumours...

Mission Impossible: Operation Surma, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Driver 3 will not be released for the Nintendo GameCube.

Fortunately, Atari said we will probably see the sequel to Dragonball Z: Budokai on the Nintendo GameCube. And the following titles are also still on for a release on the GameCube: XGRA, The Powerpuff Girls, Beyblade, Dexter's Laboratory, Carmen San Diego, Kero Kero King, and Digimon Rumble Arena 2. "


So we loose the games that would have sold and we're left with kiddy crap like Dexters Laboratory and The Powerpuff girls.

WTF?

No wonder Cube gets labelled as a kiddy machine when developers treat it like this.

Yeah I forgot about those people with swords who swung by today and tried to kill me with swords and magic. Real life it is then...

Pfft. People complaining about having TOO MUCH choice in a video game?!

I am actually slightly appalled.

Morrowind is a very open-ended game. If you feel like just going round fighting things you can, if you want to explore you can, if you want to go on quests you can, there are numerous characters types to be and you can make your own, it's a massive world with loads to discover, steal, kill, befriend, conjure etc.

Too much variation leaves a huge open world with everything and anything to do. This leads to having too much choice. This leads to real life. This leads to boredom in a videogame.

Complication leads to variation which in turn makes something more interesting.

Complication leads to boredom.

Morrowind is not boring it's just too complicated for some.

*Looks at Pikmin*

Add either ;-), :-) or :-D for the "it's a joke" effect.

Oh the irony.

It take it AD&D is too cerebral for you? :D

Jesus. A Driver game would sell excellently on GameCube, there's no damn competition. Atari are stupid.
