Ignition Entertainment shuttered its Florida studio earlier this month, deep-sixing the game the 70 developers were building, which was an FPS rumoured to have cost $US20 million. Video of the game, “Reich” has surfaced.
Develop magazine has three clips of the game, which showcase the protagonist’s powerful telekinetic abilities and the real-time physics engine handling their aftermath. A source told Develop that of nine levels planned in the game, just two were completed. “It would be difficult to outsource the rest of the game since the other stages are partially completed.” the source told Develop.
As for that $US20 million price tag, “past management staff has mismanaged the funds,” the source said. “There was no corporate monitoring on spending.”
Two more videos can be seen at the link, with more details and developer commentary.

I understand why they’d want to pull the plug based on expenditure, but I seriously want that game.

Thursday, November 11, 2010 at 12:19 PMA Ignition rep has said earlier that the game hasn’t been canceled.
It is being reevaluated and moved “in the right direction.”
But still have to wait for the official word

If the game isn’t worth $20M unfinished, it can’t be that good.
