More Cancellations for Nintendo
Via Gamespot, Starcraft Ghost is now not comming onto the Gamecube (here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6137109.html ). Appearently, it's once again due to the lack of online capabilities of the system.
Usually, when one of these titles gets canceled, it doesn't really effect me that much. Games like Mortal Kombat are usually too low on my list to care about it. Only games that were never slated for the Cube I want to get (ie: Burnout 3 and DBZ: Budokai 3). But this game was an exception. I was actually anticpating the game, especially since I own Starcraft on my PC.
Owners of the small box have seen this type of disapointment. Lets face it, almost always the Cube version gets the shaft. Even if the given game lacks online features on all consoles, the Cube version is the last to come out.
I'm still questioning why online is so important to a game. Burnout 3 could do without online, or at least Cube owners could settle with only split-screen multiplayer only (which I find more fun in general anyway). I know I should get a PS2 or X-Box (and would if I could afford it), but why am I being left behind.
More importantly, it just feels like a promise broken. PS2 owners are probably equally disapointed when they heard that Farcry Instincts would become a X-Box exclusive, as opposed to the full multiplatform title it originally was.
I do understand that things change, but this is a huge disapointment on top of previous disapointments this game already has made (delays that make Rare look quick). I just hope this is the last disapointment we'll see out of this game.
