Does anyone know what happened to the much anticipated game GALLEON, produeced by the guy that created Lara Croft. Has it been released and I missed it? Has it been canned? Or is it still in production (God help us)!

It was on the original demo disc for the Cube in May 2002 so surely its finished by now!

Anyone out there with any info?

I copied this straight from Nintendo's official magazine site, URL...

Galleon looks great, and even greater in brand new shots released by Confounding Factor today. Now, it'd be really nice if somebody could just release the bloody thing. Is anyone out there listening?
Sorry, but it's just that we want it so. The game has been in the works for around five years, with the development process being guided by the steady hand of Lara Croft creator Toby Gard.

As you can see from the shots, the title is taking on a far more polished look as it nears release, giving GameCube and Xbox fans every reason to be cheerful. Gard unfortunately admitted recently that a recently confirmed PC version is only a possibility and that there are no solid plans for a PS2 version.

Galleon is a Disney-esque adventure following the exploits of Captain Rhama Sabrier as he attempts to thwart a baddie and save various maidens along the way. Gard has constantly pointed to the complexity and intuitive aspects of the control system, and considering the success of Tomb Raider, you should obviously be watching this very carefully indeed.

Galleon releases in December. Hopefully.



That was a straight copy/paste... looks like Dec 2003 if all goes well.

I hope that helps :)

Rabid.

I think its pretty impossible to say how good or bad it looks when it hasnt even been released yet.

Sure people have seen screenshots but do you know that they are recent screenies? and even if they were theres far more to a game than just eye-candy, i thought you would realise this :p
