Title: Thornado!!!
Post by: SilverBack1138 on March 12, 2003, 09:32:42 PM
Do any of you remember that Factor 5 game Thornado.  It was a super soldier game, or something like that.  I read a couple of weeks ago that it's not cancelled like stated earlier, the thing is, it's going multiplatform, besides the GCN, XBox will get it too.  Hopefully, we'll see some Factor 5 magic.

It's a third-person action game, you use guns and the wind as attacks/manuevers. It's a semi-sequel to the 2d side-scrolling "Turrican" series, but since they don't have the license they had to use a different name. Factor 5 showed a short movie of it once to demonstrate the Gamecube's power, but not much has been heard of it since.

Without a link or quoted source, I won't believe it's no longer cancelled and has gone mulitplatform.

My thoughts exactly. Shouldn't be too long until Factor 5's plans are explained to a fair extent anyway.

I reckon the fact that Factor 5 releasing a game multiplatform would be pretty weird, since they are pretty much the link between LucasArts and Nintendo. Their foray into console game started with Nintendo anyway (was Turrican a console game of PC only? I dunno), and they also made a key part of Nintendo's console - sound (well now they've also made better video compression in DivX, so they've played a BIG part in making the Gamecube).
