Activision approved Gun 2, but Neversoft put its resources into Tony Hawk instead
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Activision gave Neversoft the go-ahead to create a sequel to Gun, but the studio was forced to drop the project due to a lack of manpower. Former president Joel Jewitt told Game Informer this month that it would have been impossible for the studio to take on Gun 2 in addition to another skateboarding title.
He said:
“(Neversoft) had a bunch of guys that fought really hard over on the Activision side and we got the sequel approved, and then we more or less had to make the call over here that we couldn’t do it for business reasons. We just didn’t have the manpower to make [Gun 2] and another skateboarding game. We had to take our engine to the next level, because we were [moving to] the Xbox 360. We had to put everybody back on the [Tony] Hawk franchises.”
The first and only Gun game launched in 2005. It ended up on several platforms, including the GameCube.
