"DEAD Phoenix. Emphasis on the DEAD."

I almost called this thread "Nooooo!".

It looks like Dead Phoenix, whihc looked like one of the most promising and original games of recent times, let alone the Cube only, has been canned. I was looking forward to that. Why couldn't they have got rid of Killer 7?

Oh well, at least we still have Killer 7.

Because Killer 7 is easily the best of those four Capcom games.

They coulda just canned PN03.

Why did they have to can anything? Canning PN03 would be stupid as its scheduled for release this month (;-)) and canning Killer 7 would just be very, very stupid, as would Viewtiful Joe.

Is it me or did DP look crap?

Viewtiful Joe gets a decent review in Games TM - 8/10

...and virtually every other mag.

Edge, Gamecentral both gave it 8/10 and 9/10 respectively.

The only 2 games I wanted for the 5 were Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe.

Dead Pheonix, P.N. 03 and whatever the other one was I wasn't planning on getting.

Resident Evil 4 was the other.

Remember Mikami wanted to develop a Nintendo franchise.

Rumours have been circulating for months that Dead Phoneix has become a different game.

Kid Icarus.
