I'm talking about Lionheads game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aisRonTCNCc I've never seen anything from it. Tried to search but failed to find anything.
It was in full development at Lionhead for several years through multiple builds so it's likley that there is something playable. It seemed from the interviews at the time and the comments after it's cancellation that they struggled to find a gameplay direction for it. Edit: Lots of info and screens here at U64: http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/16/bc-xbox-cancelled/
someone else has already been after that game in the "your Holy Grail" Thread...I should get my press discs out as I'm wuite sure theres some not-yet-public info on 1 or 2 of the discs... I don't hvae a playable build though XD (would be cool to have one ) Edit: The first mention it gets is one the X01 Disc from 2001, it's not mentioned on any of my discs from 2000. It's only one screenshot (more like a artists drawing XD), for other games we have Videos and text documents but for this one ther's only a screenshot. Interesting that it shows up as 1st party though.... Edit2: Nothing on the E3 2002 Media DVD or other from 2002, but on the X02 Disc from 2002 there are unreleased screenshots and a fact sheet which claims the planned release at that point was 2003. Edit3: On the E3 2003 European Press DVD there are even more unreleased screens, some High-Res artwork (over 50mb bmp files, I am not gonna open them on this PC XD) and a fact sheet which says "[FONT="]This title, known as “BC,” is now in full-blown production." [/FONT] and that the new planned release date was spring 2004. Fun Fact: there's some High-Res Logo for Conker Live and Uncut (yes, it says uncut!) on this disc as well. Some more unreleased screens and a factsheet (about 6 months later, says 2004 instead of spring 2004 as planned release date) is on the X03 from 2003, too. By the way the disclaimer int eh fact sheets changed from "preview" to "pre-release".... Edit4: I am 100% sure they had a playable build. Found something nice, more in a second.Talking about teh E3 2004 Media DVD by the way. http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/3854/bc4agames.jpg screen from the E3 2004 Media DVD The Q&A pictured basically gives away what the game looked like, playtime, how it plays, info about tribes etc., on interesting questions asked is if it's planned to be released for Xenon, answer is: no, for Xbox, planned for 2005 (that's what the new fact sheet says as well. So you can be sure that there was/is a playable build out there, 1st because of teh long development span from 2001 to 2004, 2nd, well there's wuite a lot given away in the Q&A...now I really want to play that...dammit XD I hope I helped a little with that information. EDIT5: Anyone interested in a release of all those Xbox Press Discs (I have more than those with BC stuff on them, ranging from 2000-2004)?
Thanks a lot for the info. It's too bad it didn't get released it was my top awaited Xbox game ;( Wasn't there a ton of Lionhead labeled debug/devkits floating around a few years back? Maybe I'm mistaking for a different company. I hope there's a playable release somewhere out there that someone, some day, will release
Well it looks like gelberhase beat me to it :thumbsup: I can't add more than what he has already mentioned but it was definately in full production so there must be playable builds out there.
