No trophy support for Fallout 3 at launch
White Knight Chronicles dated for Japan
Killzone 2 press invites not out yet, says SonyAs the new blockbuster movie "Beowulf" from Paramount Pictures debuts in cinemas worldwide and the official game of the movie becomes available, work on the independently developed game of same name has been suspended.
The game had been under development at German game developer 4HEAD Studios in collaboration with graphics and animation studio 3D-IO. Paramount Pictures has obtained the rights to the project's core properties including trademarks, Internet domains, and other assets.
Executive Producer Gustaf Stechmann comments: "With the announcement of Ubisoft's official game based on the movie and the conceivable competitive situation, we were seeing publishers unwilling to support our game. We thus lacked the resources needed to drive the project's development forward. Luckily, we had the older rights to the use of the name. The buy-out deal with Paramount was therefore the logical exit strategy."
Game developer 4HEAD Studios had become financially unstable and were
recently acquired by German publishing house DTP.
Too bad, this version of Beowulf may have been better than the latest release from Ubisoft. See for yourself what the title looked like in its early stages by clicking on the images below:

Canceled? I thought they were well on the way. Ok, I see. It really collided there with the movie and all. Too bad. Not the kind of game i would have bought anyway.

Well thats a bit odd.. I only thought there was 1 game, but obviously these guys were going at it before the movie tie-in came along. Which is lame cause this would have been better no doubt. Oh well..
This really is too bad. I mean, I generally hate movie licensed games. This one probably would have been better.
cancelled the game? i saw it on the shelves when i picked up cod4 and assassins creed yesterday
This is a different game than the one put out by Ubisoft
Lol, how often are two different teams making a game of the same name? That's just nuts
psn id: gingo... they would have probably made a better game than ubisoft but once again the big company destroys the small company
Bummer, I like where this one was going!
What is with the first comment stuff? Unfortunately this game will not be released any more. Finance, that is the price to pay if u want to make a great next gen game.
