Back in April of 2012 the Kickstarter for Police Warfare was cancelled with no explanation. Since then Elastic Games has been quiet about the progress of the game. Yesterday they broke the silence by posting a new screenshot of an FBI agent to their Facebook page. Unfortunately, no additional details or information were released.
Greg Micek writes: "Does this mean James is going to run off with $376k (cad)? No, not at all. In fact, Last Year already has something that James’ previous games didn’t; funding. However, it does mean that by funding Last Year backers are entitled to better communication from James than what he’s delivered in the past. Simply disappearing like he did with Police Warfare and Outrise is not an option."
Good on the author for doing some research. This dev makes me feel very very uneasy.
Hope they sort out the issues because I love everything I have seen and heard about this game
Gaming Blend - "With the breakout success of Tim Schafer's Kickstarter project for his studio Double Fine -- they made more than $3 million -- as well as Wasteland 2 nearly breaking the $3 billion barrier, countless developers have utilized the site to fund their projects. One such studio was Elastic Games with Police Warfare, originally a pitch as a future Call of Duty title. However, the studio has decided to cancel the project on Kickstarter prematurely."
Wouldn't be too surprised to see these dudes @E3 on stage with Activision or EA...
"as well as Wasteland 2 nearly breaking the $3 billion barrier"
3 Billion Dollars? That's a huge budget, can't wait to see what they'll achieve with it... /s
