It's like Nintendo kicking us all in the crackers, then when we're down, they hold our mouths open and gob right down our tonsils.
Words fail me.
From IGNCube:
In a conversation with IGNcube today, Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht said the company would not develop any more titles for Nintendo's GameCube console. The studio is currently creating software for other platforms.
Eggebrecht would not say what titles were in development at Factor 5 nor would he talk specifically about what platform they might appear on. However, at the Game Developers Conference 2004 Eggebrecht was spotlighted as one of the studio heads very keen on Sony PSP development
The Factor 5 president told IGNcube that no software from the San Rafael-based software house would be previewed at the forthcoming Electronics Entertainment Expo 2004, which kicks off this May in Los Angeles

I said "Rogue Leader was the most sold game at the beginning of the Cube's life, and I was responsible for a lot of sales." It did sell a lot of Gamecubes. I never intimated that Rogue Leader 3 did sell Cubes.

They have lost an ally. A studio that likes them and loves developing for Cube will no longer probably develop for Nintendo this genaration.

Yes and we all know what happens to multiformat games for the most part...
"Lets make the game with the PS2 hardware in mind so that we can disappoint everyone else."

Although SK can still release games on Cube - it's not all bad.
Just they're not exclusive.

Just happens to be another 2 games to add to an already growing list. You can word it anyway you want, its games lost and money lost, no matter how little it remains that way.
They split because they weren't compatible.
Nintendo have lost 2 games every 18 months by losing these. I hope Kuju, N-space and SETA aren't the only companies making up for this loss.

Enjoyed Rogue Leader 2 but couldn't be bothered with the 3rd. Regardless of whether anyone personally cares or not this is still a loss, coupled with Silicon Knights going multiformat is complete toss.
Laughed when I read an article regarding Silicon Knights, this un named c*ck said it was because Nintendo forced them to work on a port of a PSONE game.
Would this be the same port that puts the majority of modern releases to shame? Ahh right...

Well to be honest it is still 2 Rogue titles for the Cube which is still a nice little collection.
And Pilotwings is still probably due for N5.
Again, not that I'm bothered.

They weren't making anything anyway.
Regardless, that's another series that won't be appearing on Cube.
Stupid stupid stupid!

The only factor 5 game I've ever enjoyed was Battle for Naboo.

Rebel Strike sold in excess of what was around 8 copies... tell me how that sold any Gamecubes.

Nintendo haven't lost an ally, Factor 5 still loves them. It is Lucas Arts.
