gamrFeed: The Internet has been buzzing recently with the news that People Can Fly's upcoming over-the-top shooter Bulletstorm will require a constant Internet connection on the PC version in order to play the game. As you can understand, PC gamers weren't exactly over the moon with the news. Well guess what, it's not true.
CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski: "Today we made a very difficult decision to suspend the development of project Gemini and project Bifrost - the relevant current reports have been released to the market.
The suspension of the Gemini project is a consequence of the fact that the Publisher has not presented us with a draft of the subsequent content rider to the Publishing Agreement covering the terms and conditions of further milestones on project Gemini and the lack of communication from the Publisher as to its willingness to continue or terminate the Gemini project."
They somehow have at least eight or nine different studios across the world with roughly 500+ people there. Development must be a mess behind the scenes at this place. Their last original project was released in 2021, most likely done in 2020 if not for COVID, which means these projects are probably over five years old or close to it by now.
People Can Fly has entered into an agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment regarding the production of a prototype of a new game, codenamed “Project Delta,” based on an intellectual property belonging to Sony Interactive Entertainment, the company announced.
Killzone? Resistance? Seems up their alley genre wise. Maybe with Sony they can make a high end game like Blooper did with Silent Hill 2
Probably not a bad idea to revisit what I imagine can only be a shooter, be it 1st/3rd person for Sonys modern line up. however:
"production of a prototype"
So nothing we'll see soon if ever.
The Polish studio behind Bulletstorm and Outriders confirms plans to phase out its VR publishing activities.
Glad to here that
I don't care that the title is spelled incorrectly, this is still a legitimate submission of an important article. The fact that there are more than 1 article on N4G right now that purport an INCORRECT statement is ridiculous, and we need the CORRECTION to be published.
The game does NOT require an always-on internet connection to play, just to play *online* (which is, you know, completely obvious). You also need to be online to install the game for some kind of DRM measure, but once it's installed, you can play the offline modes to your hearts content without being connected to the internet.
Correct the title spelling mistake and you've got yourself a perfect and important submission that needs to be approved before the false articles we've got already proliferate any further.
The truth needs to get out there, otherwise the false stuff spreading around will cause unfair harm to the perception of the game in the eyes of potential buyers and it could cause the game to lose sales over false rumors, which frankly is an idea that makes me upset because the developers and publishers don't deserve to be punished due to false rumors while the truth is out there failing to get spread.
-.- fooled me a while ago.
people are to quick to judgment without getting facts straight, a simple read of the release by EA would've shown the bogus nature of the false reports but people see headlines and start ranting and raving.
Thats awsome!! Now I just need to want this game..
