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?

Galleon looked all right.

Yes, maybe the graphics weren't up to typical Gamecube standard, but the game looked relatively playable and seemed to have a plotline worth talking about.

Ah yes, that average game we haven't played.

I know it well.

Actually average, single player games like Galleon really don't hold my interest.

Thats what im saying... you admit it was a long while back... things may have improved since, its just a little premature to knock a game that hasnt been released yet, if it turns out to be a big pile of poo then i'll be the first to admit it but until then i think its a little too early to say if its gonna suck or not.

Lets hope its worth the wait.

I saw footage a long while back. Might've been FMV.

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

True enough. But Galleon does look rubbish next to Windwalker etc
