PS2 Skies of Arcadia canceled

Sega of Japan axes the PlayStation 2 version of Skies of Arcadia from its upcoming lineup.
 
Sega of Japan has announced that Skies of Arcadia has been removed from its lineup of upcoming games. The company stated that it would prefer to focus its efforts on the GameCube version of the game. Skies of Arcadia follows the adventures of the air pirate Vyse and his friend Aika as they attempt to discover why the Valua empire is pursuing a mysterious girl and her ship.
An official release date has yet to be announced for the North American release of Skies of Arcadia on the GameCube.

Thoughts?

I\'m kinda mad... I was looking forward to this game, even if it is just a remake of the DC version.  All the more reason to get a used DC or a GC, I guess.

Buy a DC.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Those aren\'t big losses in my opinion I mean there are far better rpg\'s comming like Xenosaga, Suikoden 3, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean 3, Unlimited Saga, Kingdom Hearts they\'ll be forgotten soon enough but buying a DC is still the cheapest option

Erm.. Chrono.. PSO was never slated for the PS2.. in any form. I heard the sequel would be handed over to Overworks (original PS developers) after the Xbox version of v.2 is complete.. and that the PS2 would get the true online sequel.. speculated to be a mmorpg like FFXI, but all that\'s jus as much rumor as PSV.

Anyhow, yeah.. I\'ve heard alot about them wanting to cancel SoA for the PS2 and instead jus focus on the sequel. I can\'t say it\'s a very smart move.. but hey... it\'s their choice. I can get it for cheap on my DC, and Nintendo gamers could use a few good RPG\'s for once.

the DC is the best console out there to buy right now

roughly $25-40 for the unit, and the games can be had for under 10$

Problem being that the games are outdated now... and there are never going to be new games... and you also then have to purchase a Memory card and Controllers... then actually find the games which are no longer sold...

I would have loved the DC.. if only it had a better controller :(
SOA was a decent game, but Final Fantasy 9 was better IMO

Geeze, that\'s a great reason to not purchase a console you could have loved. :rolleyes: You DO realize they made adaptors for the PS2 controller right?

Bah, wouldn\'t have made a difference. You\'dda probably wouldda jus found another reason not to buy it.
