Beating a dead horse

[Bobb4]

Having been around for the Harpoon 4 debacle when after almost a year of been shown work in progress screen-shots Ubisoft cancelled the project I can well understand your sceptisim.
But unlike Harpoon 4, there would be plenty of third party developers prepared to jump into the breech so to speak if Ubisoft or even 1C pulled the plug.
But do the maths when SOW was announced way back when Vista and Direct X 10 were twinkles in Microsoft's eyes. They are here now.
Multi core CPU's and mega graphic's cards from both nvidia and ati have more than quadroupled what could be done back then.
So lets say the project was close to Alpha stage just before Vista and the Geforce 8 series popped up. Well that would have made everything done up til that point obsolete.
While this is no excuse for no updates it could be a valid reason for the sudden slow-down of info.
I agree Birds of Prey looks remarkabily like the footage released on the 1946 DVD and I still have not quite got my head around the explanations given for that.
But I am sure we will get something soon. Either a "Dear John" thanking us for our loyal support and wishing us luck with 4.09 beta or some real ingame footage that will blow our socks off. I am hoping for the later.
