I’m not that bothered about the game being canned, Obisidan are what’s left of Black Isle and they are my favourite developer.

They shit gold in my eyes, who the fuck do SEGA think they are.

Hope Sega doesn’t go down the drain or file bankruptcy anytime soon though.

@ Hunam

Seconding that. That RPG seemed way more interesting than the shooter version, just by dint of not being the shooter version.

Which I actually wasn’t against picking up. Now though, thanks to the genius of Sega, I very much am.

I wish Sega had a clue, I really do. According to the article linked, Obsidian were ready and willing to show the game off, publicly, given publisher approval. It almost seems that there must have been another U-Haul incident, because that post was made to their community boards only this week! Now we hear of potential job cutting ‘overnight’

Oh, and Kotaku’s post has been updated: “Update: Sega just replied saying they “do not respond to speculation or rumor questions.”

Well, that’s really bloody helpful!
SEGA can indeed go fuck itself, if this is the sort of level it’s happy/capable to work at.
