The Mission and Black and White PS2

Digging around an old PS2 mag I noticed these, both unreleased I assume. AusPS2Mag issue 1 source.

 

Strange, since both games were announced for the PS1, only, afair. The PS1 version of "The Mission" was released in 2000.

 

did black and white get any console realeses? i remeber hearing that it was 100% complete for dreamcast but peter monolux decided that it wouldnt sell well at the last moment and canned it...

 

There was a PSX version of Black and White. Would like to know what has become of it, too.

 

I recall reading some previews of Black & White PSOne, and even Black & White Next Generation for Xbox and PlayStation 2. You'd expect them to recoup on the development time and money invested somehow, but they didn't release anything at all...

 

The Mission is released.

 

Hmm, the article lists it as a PS2 game but I'll same they're probably wrong, also it probably is unreleased where I am, Australia WOoooo.

 

Actualy, 'Black & White' was in development for PSX, DC, PS2, XBox, GBA, and PC. Only one of the versions made it to release (PC), the rest were just wasted development time and money.

Edit: Oh, and theirs DS and PSP ones still in the works.

 

I did an interview with the programmer of Black & White. He wasn't at liberty to say why it wasn't released, but it was my first interview and his answers were sort of surprising. I also have an article about B&W on my website as well. Go visit www.playstationmuseum.org (Go to the museum spotlight to read the interview and then there should be a link to the b&W article in there)
