From Gamewinner's News on Friday, June 11, 2004.
             IGN's News on Friday, June 11, 2004.


Saved from 3DO's ashes, one of their final projects is still being developed by a group that includes some of the original team.

From IGN, "After 3DO shut down, a number of investors founded a company called Four Horsemen Entertainment L.L.C. in order to purchase the property. The company officially obtained it on May 12, and development has resumed."

"Now that Four Horsemen is officially in new hands, what was initially intended as a title for current generation consoles has become an entire entertainment franchise. The new company will begin by releasing comic books and a graphic novel based on the property, and eventually release a completely revamped version of the video game for next-generation systems."

"Mendheim has confirmed that the key players are back on board: Simon Bisley is creating the artwork, and Hollywood effects legend Stan Winston is handling toy and movie rights. The star voice talent slated for the first iteration of the game, including Tim Curry and Traci Lords, are also apparently still committed to the project."


There may still be hope for this games after all.

Cool. This title showed promise when originally announced, though it bites waiting until the next round of consoles.

A whole franchise off of Four Horsemen? Hmm...

At last (partially) out of the hands of 3DO, this may be good...

HA HA HA!! Will the cartoon have the female character with the see-through shirt, too?  I think it's a clever idea for them to try and make some money from the game before it comes out with comics and such, but I hope they don't forget the game itself.

It sounds like the guys who are left really care about the concept, but I'm still afraid with so many of the original team members that they'll 3DO it up a notch.

Personally it sounds like they are jumping head first into murky waters.
