Well, it seems that Mission Impossible was not cancelled. (Atari made a mistake and put the game on the "list" when they sent it out.)
Then they sent out a release stating why they cancelled T3 and Driver 3 for the 'Cube. Which by the way are really lame ass excuses. (I'm not saying that as a Nintendo person but it is a lame excuse even if it was cancelled for other systems also)
"We need to correct the information on MI and confirm that it is being developed for GC. With regard to T3 and Driver 3, we made the change due to development time constraints. With T3, the game needs to launch with the DVD and there simply wasn't time to develop the game for the platform. With Driver 3, our primary goal is to ensure that this game is the highest quality possible and therefore, we are focusing our efforts on our lead SKUs (PS2 and Xbox)."
Let me get this straight about T3. They were making 3 different versions of the game? Couldn't they have just straight ported it to the 'Cube? Lame excuse. And if they need to get the game out by the time the DVD hits, I see Enter the Matrix written all over this game.
And as for Driver 3. Straight port would've been fine anyways. I doubt the "quality of the game" would've been compromised had it been released for the 'Cube. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if Driver 3 turns out horrible and gets bad reviews across the board.
