Speaking to GI, Microsoft Games Studios’ Peter Zetterberg has said that first-party development for the firm would never cancel a project.
“Maybe we sometimes announce them earlier than we should, but we stick with them, we have our resources team work with them as much as we can,” he said.
“It’s crunch time down in Guildford now and we have people working their butts off to make Fable 2 happen. We do not, we shall not cancel games.”
Zetterberg come a week after SCEE dropped both The Getaway and Eight Days, two internal projects being developed at the company’s London Studio.

Apart from B.C. And that Marvel MMO thing. And some other stuff, no doubt. What a stupid thing to say.

Oh yeah - and True Fantasy Live Online.

Yeah, we’ll try and make money off it no matter shit it is.
Cheers, MS!

Which games have MGS Europe actually made, then? Aren’t Lionhead part of MGS Europe?
Regardless, it’s a totally stupid thing to say. What if something’s turning out shit? You can never say never.

MGSE might not cancel anything, their bosses in Redmond will probably just order it.

I’d take his statement more as one of intent rather than a unconditional principle of MGS Europe.
Like many companies who say; “We don’t do overtime.”

A rather bizarre statement to make really. It’s never nice to see a project cancelled before it’s released, but sometimes it’s necessary. Why waste time and money on a project which for whatever reason, is in trouble, and is likely to fail both creatively and commercially.
A daft bit of opportunism on MGS’s part really, which could come back to bite them in the future.

They wont cancel them if they have a problem… they’ll indefinitely delay them.
