I just link to the slashdot page since I'm lazy like that.

It's sad, but not totally unexpected. The game was stuck in development hell, and supposedly the designers spent large amount of time on just redoing the same parts of the game over and over again.

It was obvious that, at the point the first person said they're sure taking a long time, the expectations were so high they couldn't realistically have released anything a run-of-the-mill game developer is capable of releasing anymore.

In my eyes, it was a question of when it would happen, not whether.

Take-Two Interactive may decide to fund it in the future.

And maybe they'll set deadlines...

And probably have more coherent designers who actually follows a game design cycle of a coherent company.

Like Valve. There's some article about somewhere about the method Valve uses for developing their games. Sure some games took some time to do, but at least they did eventually put it out.

It was only a matter of time, big question was when they could finally have it die. Hopefully someone will pick it up again, though. HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!
