On July 13, 2010, Tarsier Studios officially announced that the developer "has signed an exclusive first party deal with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe".[1] It is currently unknown if the deal relates to The City of Metronome.
@matey27: Wii or Nintendo has nothing to do with any of these games. There was no better time and financially workable than distributing it on the XBLA. It just didn't get enough money. It won't come out for hte Wii because it still costs more money to than making a downloadable game.
six days in fallujah, redwood falls, the fixer, 8 days, etc. awsome titles that would have kicked asses!!!! shiiiiiiiittt i hate the fucking coward videogame developers!
This game failed to find publishers because they couldn't demonstrate even basic combat. They had a great premise and couldn't prove what it was worth, instead sticking to hypothetical game-play concepts to woo-in would be publishers. Yes it had cool graphics but that is about it.
The game has been purchased by Sony. If they get the money to do it from Sony - and actually do it - remains to be seen.
This game isn't cancelled, just stuck in limbo. I believe the game never got a publisher so it never got released. Tarsier Studios said a while back that the game is still in development and they're searching for a publisher. Considering they're now a first party developer for SCEE I imagine it's possible we could see SCE publishing it for PlayStation 3. One things for certain, if we ever see this title it's be on PlayStation 3. Fingers crossed.
it sucks that Sony hasn't done shit to or with it...at least...i think so...Sony talked about two games at E3 2005, but haven't been heard from or seen since....
1.The City Of Metronome
2.Eyedentify
either Sony forgot about these games...or they just don't give a shit...REVIVE THESE GAMES!!!! TELL SONY ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT!!!! DO IT NOW!!! SAVE THESE GAMES!!!!(don't worry...i'm normally not like this...this just bothers me alot...if you knew what i know...you'd understand...)
its not cancelled, its very much on. nordic games have taken the publishing reignes. a dat of 6/6/09 was put out but we all know that isnt true. it will be Q4 2010 or Q1 2011
This would be the sleeper hit of the PS3 if it got made, but it won't because what company is gonna make a sleeper hit, knowing they won't make anything off it.
Im really looking foward to this! As a matter of fact, I have been looking foward to this, ever sence I heard about it in a 2005 issue of XBOX magizine.
@FragZone oops i mean ago, but the funnier thing is that tarsier studios signed a deal with sony computer entertainment in 2010, so this game is going to be released
