Though it may technically not be cancelled, just "left aside", I have a feeling that IF it ever does come out it'll be a very different concept and execution from what was shown before.

Basically the "Starcraft Ghost" that you saw before is no more....they may some day recycle a similiar core theme or even the use the name in some form, but I the action stealth console game that people currently know "Starcraft Ghost" as will most likely never release.

There have been many games Blizzard has had in initial development that were never actually announced as being "cancelled"....though they just never released....which is basically the same thing. Or if they core concept did release then they released in a completely different form....that long list that Blizzard gave at DICE is testiment to that.

Definitely gonna buy this one.

I really hope it's true. But for now at least, my heart-guard is on.m0zart

It's from EA's earnings event, so it's pretty much true.....aside from a Press Release and Gameplay media, this is as official as it gets.

The catch is this....from what I've read on websites its on a list of games that are currently in development, but have also been given the greenlight to begin development within a year.

So even though KOTOR III from BioWare is basically officially coming, the possibility exists that it can still be a long, long ways off.

Today has been a really good day for PC Game announcements....first Mass Effect PC and now this.

I have faith it'll be good, lately EA seems to be turning a new leaf.

I've read it will be a DirectX 9 XP & Vista release.....so no need to worry about Vista.

Also, Some screens from the PC version:

Here is the EA press release over at Yahoo finance.

Mass Effect is scheduled to come to PC in May.

This is no surprise, I pretty much knew Mass Effect would arrive on PC within a year of the 360 release.....I will admit though that it's coming much sooner then I thought, I expected a Fall PC release.

EA grabbing up BioWare is already looking beneficial.

I'm betting that the Mass Effect sequel will be a multiplatform simultaneous release when it finally comes out.

I expect they'll include the downloadable content that's supposed to come.....but I also hope they put in additional exclusive content in the PC version, like Gears of War.

Next up......a GTA IV PC announcement, which I expect to happen in the next couple of months.

1. The original Silent Hill for PS3....and and as added content for the remake, have Cybil's side of the story as a playable secondary campaign.

2. Kid Icarus for Wii....but more of a reimagining then an full out remake.

3. Resident Evil 2 for Wii....with a gameplay style like RE4 Wii Edition.

Definitely Planescape Torment.....not only is the entire game an examination of identity, but the conversations throughout the game provide stories that make the player think about things such as War, Religion, Love, Hate, Greed, etc.....and it examined these subjects without being preachy and instead through simple story.
Just one example of one of the many many amazing experiences and conversations in this game that show what an intelligent game it is happens when the player is using one of the sensory stones as is getting a memory of a 2nd-in-command military officer on a battleship bombarding a civilization below and he asks the capatin how they will ever be able to live with themselves with all the civilians they are exterminating, and the commander replies that the only way he can stay sane and carry on his duty is to believe what his government has told him, even though he knows it's not true...which is to pretend that there are no civilians down there, just enemy soldiers and bases and that in war, the term "enemy" is something that can and does get used broadly. Of course the way the whole story is worded is a million times better then the summary I gave.

BioShock is another game that makes you think. It makes the player really question "Why am I doing this" in which no other game has ever done in the twist answer that it provides. Most games provide a lame story as to why the player character would blindly go blasting away at a million enemies and do things as the game instructs them to do......BioShock adds a new dynamic in showing that not only is the character not in control, but neither was the player....and all the time they didn't know it.

Deus Ex and Beyond Good & Evil both examined government corruption, lies, and false propoganda put out by those who want to stay in power by controlling the masses through false information....and that it isn't always wise to blindly accept what those who have power tell you to be true cause the opposite can be true.

If you're talking about a Crysis sequel, as in a follow-up actually developed by Crytek on an engine that pushes hardware bounderies, then I'd say either late 2009 or early 2010.....given the fact that Crysis sold over a million copies on PC in less then two months I am willing to bet Crytek is more then willing to make a sequel for PC and EA is more then willing to support it.

As for a Crysis Spin-off developed for consoles...one not developed by Crytek (it'll most likely be developed internally by EA) possible not on the same engine and instead made to simply cash in on the brand name....expect that either this year or most likely early next.
