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

Well I've always hated Eternal Darkness for being so damn un-playable, and I have yet to sample Metal Gear, however I loved Rogue Leader 2 and 3, despite their flaws.

Rogue Leader 3 multiplayer - was amazing. Rogue Leader 2 was the most sold game at the beginning of the Cube's life, and I think was responsible for a lot of sales. Star Wars sells. It's that simple.

Nintendo had a close ally - watch the "Making Of" documentaries - they loved Nintendo, they were the first studio to get dev kits for Gamecube.

And now they're gone. Just as much a loss as Silicon Knights.

In my eyes both were pretty awful.

I'm not a factor 5 fan, I can see how they're an asset but poor sales of Rebel Strike shows me how Nintendo don't need them... and I certainly don't like them.

So unlike SK, I don't give a ****.

Factor 5 are crap I've never liked any of their games.

Pilotwings will still hit the N5... the next Star Wars game will be for other formats as Lucas arts no longer supports the Gamecube.

Not bothered...

Am bothered about Silicon Knights.

But at least Silicon Knights are still developing Gamecube games.

So Silicon Knights and Factor 5 have gone.

Wa-hay.

I might buy a one way ticket to Nintendo HQ, with a samurai sword in hand, just for simple irony.

I would say that this was Factor 5 and Lucas Art's fault more than Nintendo's.

Still extremely annoying though. I guess we'll have to wait for N5/DS for the next Factor 5 game.
