ATARI CANCELS 'CUBE GAMES

Driver 3? Crashed. Mission Impossible? Quite possibly. And Terminator Rise of the Machines? It won't be back

14:14 During a Dutch gaming event, a representative for Atari has apparently revealed that three of the publisher's most promising titles are no longer GameCube-bound.
It seems that Driver 3, Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Mission Impossible: Operation Surma have all been cancelled indefinitely on GameCube, though for the time being these cancellations remain unofficial.

Atari had no comment to make on the story when we called the publisher earlier - a sign that the story is almost certainly true, and that nobody was supposed to know just yet. Oh well. Should these titles gain a last-minute reprieve on 'Cube, we'll pass on the good news.

And once again, another few games that GameCube owners wouldn't have bought anyway get cancelled. I mean, do you really think Nintendo fans would buy games from Atari? The question now is what will happen with the Matrix games. They seem to be the only ones Cube fans had any interest in.

Hmmm...you never know, one of those games might actually be worth getting....nah probably not....

Driver 3 was the only one I was really interested in. I've heard some promising things about it, plus its a racing game/on foot game. (Racing games is one genre I love) But oh well. Reviews are what I wait for anyways so if it turns out not good, I won't miss it.

no surprises...

3rd parties other than Capcom, Namco and Sega are s-c-r-e-w-e-d on Gamecube

lol, I'm thinking at least some will want the next Matrix game... it was one of the better sellers for Cube this year.

Just hope they don't far enough to cancel that too.
