TFLO Definitely Not Coming Til Winter

[darcness007]

Hey,

News update regarding TFLO in case you didn't already know.

http://www.gamespy.com/articles/518/518019p1.html?fromint=1

To summarize, TFLO wasn't at E3 because they're rushing to finish the game so it can be released in Japan this winter, which obviously means North America won't be getting it until next year.

So sad, too bad.

:banghead:

BTW RED TEAM WINS

that is pretty lame, that means we are going to have to wait even longer for blue team to dominate! ;)

It doesnt really seem like u want the game to come out at all! you should try to hope, and be more positive so it could feel good ^ ^! gamespot also talks about the winter thing on their website. They said that 2 months ago way before i heard the site manager and u say that. YET! they remain with a 6-27-04. All those things about winter and beta testing is for the Japanese version. The American version will be tested by level 5 of America i believe. Nmercy or what ever said in his rumors page, the American version could arrive before the japanese version!!! Eb, gamespot and the xbox magazine (2004 january issue) all say it will be in the summer time and since Fable was cancelled for summer TFLO should replace that.

p.s. after all something good has to come out in the summertime.... gamespot has Halo's release date as well.

Sorry man, its not coming at all:

True Fantasy Live Online gets the axe

Microsoft Japan and Level 5 halt development of their massively multiplayer online role-playing game for the Xbox.
Microsoft Japan today announced the cancellation of True Fantasy Live Online, the promising massively multiplayer role-playing game for the Xbox that was first unveiled in 2002. The game was being developed by veteran developer Level 5, whose recent work has included the Dark Cloud franchise for the PlayStation 2.

In a press release issued this morning in Japan, Microsoft stated that the cancellation was due to the lack of progress in development. Citing the game's inability to deliver a level of quality satisfactory to consumers, Microsoft opted to cancel the project, which had been slated for a winter release this year in Japan.

When contacted for comment, a representative from Microsoft in the US issued the following statement: "The difficult decision to cancel True Fantasy Live Online was based on a number of careful considerations, including the game's progression to date and the remaining development time needed to complete such an ambitious project. The MMORPG genre, across all platforms, has become an incredibly crowded and competitive marketplace. In response, Microsoft Game Studios has decided to streamline its portfolio, making fewer bets in this genre."

Added the representative, "At Microsoft Game Studios, we continually evaluate our portfolio strategy and investments to ensure we are achieving our most important objectives of creating successful, platform-driving titles in a timely manner. We truly appreciate all the support True Fantasy Live Online has received from its fans and the games community."

I'll be surprised if FFXI sales don't spike up a bit over the next little while as a result of this.
