    [​IMG] An info for all those who can't wait on "this could be great" game, there is a recent rumor that Torn has been cancelled.

    From few different sources seems that Interplay got into certain problems (probably financial) that made them cancel this project.

    However, THERE ISN'T official Interplay announcement on this, so it may be that those rumors are only products of evil tongues. I'm praying that it is so.

    Only one thing is certain - Black Isle avoids a straight answer on this (like they always do :mad: ). You can read it here, in post on official Torn site: http://feedback.blackisle.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=000417


    I'm actually repeating myself, but this is disaster.

    Well you can be sure that they've at least stopped working on it, if not totally canceled it. Otherwise they would deny the rumours, obviously.

    Many people have been layed off during the last few days, Scott Warner (the Torment design guy we have a few chat logs with on SP) among them. He was working on TORN currently...
    http://www.db-forge.com/ has some more rumour reports.

    doh doh doh and more doh. I was really looking forward to Torn. Bugger. I'm still convinced that NWN will be cancelled or rushed but had hoped that underhyped games, like Torn, would continue to sneak through powered by the love of the creators rather than the wallet of the publishers. :(

    Excuse me while I wander off to be sad somewhere.

    yet another reason why games should be in the hands of the staff making it, rather than the fat slobs profiting from it

    [​IMG] Bah. If that were done all the game companies would go out of business, and we'd have Microsoft producing all our games. Is that what you want? ;)

    If that means continuing work on Torn, I'd accept it. :p
