Why Talisman was cancelled

[Ondo]

There's an excellent interview with the Director of Production at Capcom about the cancellation of Talisman here (http://giantrealm.gameriot.com/gaming/talisman-what-went-wrong).

Sounds to me like they just picked the wrong platform to put the game on.

The very gameplay he describes as a hindrance on XBLA or PSN, would get eaten up with gravy on the PC.

It's a shame they chose to dump the project instead of just moving to a bigger platform.

I was also interested in one of the early comments about Games Workshop and their commitment to licensing, and it's wierd, because it's kinda true. They have buried every TRPG ever made off the series, but for some reason the same age old prejudice they've been taking out on RPGs for almost 20 years don't seem to apply at all to video games.

Their video games have all been pretty excellent, and I've yet to see a one of them somehow get the plug pulled because they got skittish about it cutting into mini sales, which is particularly odd considering how many people I've heard say something to the effect that they ditched or refused to play the 40k tabletop game in favor of Dawn of War because of the price or because they didn't want to paint or whatever.

Was it a comma or something?

Was it a comma or something?

She was in a coma after I was done with her.

She was in a coma after I was done with her.

I would have opted for her being in a coma prior. But that's just how I roll.
