What the f*ck is with all of the sh!tty news lately?  I don't want to find all this out in a span of less than 24 hours.  At this rate Nintendo will announce they've gone third party by Friday.

[Pinnacle]

Egad. Rare, Silicon Knights and now Factor 5? Sheesh. I love my cube but Nintendo has got to get themselves in gear. If they are not teaming up with Microsoft next gen then they better rethink things and hook up with Microsoft next gen on at least a joint console. Hopefully they can find quality replacements. I have no idea what is going on with their 2nd party relations.
 

[Ms.Pikmin]

Let the drama continue!  Look kids, a new thread to suit all of your hand wringing, sobbing, and other angst driven needs!  

[PaLaDiN]

People, people.

Factor 5 didn't drop Nintendo. Factor 5 dropped Gamecube.

All this means as of now is that they're concentrating on Pilotwings for GCNext.

LOL, wake up

You sound suprised ...Nintendo fked up again.

[Informant]

How I love it when people jump to conclusions so swiftly!

[Ian Sane]

"You sound suprised ...Nintendo fked up again."

Actually it's not too surprising since there were rumours of Factor 5 giving up on the Cube for a while.  I'm just really frustrated because this is such lousy timing.  We're all upset over the Silicon Knights thing and then THIS gets springed on us.  Talk about pouring salt on the wound.

"LOL, wake up"

Did you even check the link provided?

Don't make me call you a retard.

Once again:

They are dropping GAMECUBE, not NINTENDO.

This changes NOTHING. The only game they were making that we knew about was Pilotwings, which, guess what, WASN'T for GAMECUBE.

[thecubedcanuck]

YEs, I read the freaking article.

This is definately true. Deal with it.

[PaLaDiN]

Great, then you didn't even get my point. I never said it wasn't true. Unlike you, I'm dealing with it logically and not jumping on the "Nintendo is doomed!" bandwagon.

I'm gonna go ahead and call you a retard now.

Retard.  

[thecubedcanuck]

Yep, you just keep waiting for pilot wings pal, LMAO

[PaLaDiN]

"Yep, you just keep waiting for pilot wings pal, LMAO"

What's wrong with that?

I don't see anywhere in the article that says anything that would make me think Pilotwings isn't coming out for GCNext.

Seems to me like you're just pulling stuff out of your behind.

[Ian Sane]

I think they changed the article at IGN.  I could have sworn the first time I read it that Pilotwings was mentioned.  It's since been removed.

[thecubedcanuck]

the article is the same  

[The Omen]

I feel great!

[Perfect Cell]

Sigh... Of course the Hardcore Nintendo worshippers think this is not bad at all. Factor 5 only supportted the Cube and produced some of the best games on the cube. they are not supporting Nintendo anymore. But its fine !   Please. Nintendo is falling off the cliff. You guys dont notice it yet.  

[The Omen]

When i said "I feel great!", I actually don't at all.  I was being sarcastic.

[Molobert]

Paladin: They may make Pilotwings for the GCNext eventually but they're definitely making other games right now.

"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"

They're currently making games for other platforms, and since it is doubtful that the GCNext development software is out they're probably working on PS2/PSP/Xbox games.

[mouse_clicker]

Factor 5 didn't drop the Gamecube, LucasArts did. I see no reason why Nintendo couldn't scoop Factor 5 up as a 2nd party, though- they have been working very closely with Nintendo for close to a decade now.

And Cubed, Factor 5 currently has a contractual obligation to make Pilot Wings seeing as they already WERE. Maybe if you were less concerned with pissing people off and more concerned with actually looking at the facts, everyone wouldn't hate you for a change.

I will, thank you. Nintendo still owns Pilot Wings. I'm relieved it won't be developed by Factor 5, I'm more confident if it would fell in Japanese hands. At least they won't make it action-oriented with retarded AI. Pilot Wings isn't about that.

[Kyosho]

Forget all these US companies ... let's just have the Japanese companies export games and have them translated.  I've been wanting to play a bunch of japanese game cube games but i cant read japanese.

[PaLaDiN]

Oh dear God.

I'm only going to say this one more time. Read this very carefully.

As of right now, there is no indication Factor 5 is working on anything except Pilotwings. This has been the case since Rogue Leader II came out. Nothing has changed.

If you've got some evidence here that I'm not seeing that somehow contradicts what I just said, by all means, please share it. Why is everybody seeing stuff that I'm not seeing?
