B.C. Got Bagged

**selowitch** · 10-22-2004

I guess the mixed reaction to Fable doomed Peter Molyneux's other project, B.C., to which I was really looking forward. Rats.

Where'd you hear this? I was looking forward to it

I thought it looked to be an awesome game. Sucks that it got canned.

sums it up for me too.

Seriously, when I saw BC in motion, I thought the game looked like it was straight out of the Super Nintendo days. Not impressive at all.

I thought Fable was a sweet game and was doing well. I wouldn't really know, I guess...since I'm not into RPGs.

Like Likshotz said, Halo 2, here we come!!!

**LikShotz** · 10-22-2004

bwahahaha! That would suck! Good thing I have two relatively new ones and my launch box fried

I wonder if BC would still be on the up-in-comming if Fable would have done a little better and been a litte more impressive.

**Darkside** · 10-22-2004

:/

I was looking forward to BC.
I don't care about graphics as much as some of you people. that thing looked great for its time.

Just the idea was really interesting.

We got to see B.C. behind closed doors at 2003's E3. Even then the game looked incredible. Not sure what you saw Max, but seeing it played, it had some of the best graphics of any xbox game to date. It was quite an ambitious project, perhaps too ambitious like the fully functional ecosystem. This was probably the top game I saw at E3, yes even better than the first Halo 2 video they were showing. It's a shame that it looks like it got the ax. Hopefully if we are lucky, this will become a launch title for Xbox2.

Shame that unique and original games get scrapped, while we get 5 identical sports games that are the same thing as the year before that.

Ok. B.C. gets canned but it's also getting a sequel? Right under the article about B.C. being canned was a link to another about it getting a sequel? Did I miss something? It was posted earlier. Is B.C. still going to get a sequel? Will it be on Xbox 2 or 3?

I will admit, what I saw of BC in motion was on a broadcast of a prehistoric (pun intended) video camera pointing at a television. Obviously, it was not in hi-res. What bugged me about what I saw was the third person view and how the character remained in the same spot the entire time while the "world" turned when he turned. It seemed like the character turned unrealistically sharp like many 2D animations back in the day.

That's why I came up with the Super Nintendo analogy. I'm sure the version that you saw at E3 was far more superior and was likely in hi-res. I remember being floored when I saw some of the first screenshots of the game...so, I'm sure that what I saw was not representative of the game.

**LynxFX** · 10-23-2004

Just picture those amazing screenshots you saw in motion. That's what we saw.

From what I recall, the 3rd person view/animation was very similar to Fable which would make sense.

Believe it or not, I have yet to see Fable in action. I know I know I know...get with it, Max!!! Honestly, Burnout 3 has been owning my XBox for the past couple weeks or so...I'm still trying to get a handle on those damn Indy cars!
