Factor 5 is back? ...And working on the Switch?!!!!! Too bad they don't have the Star Wars license any more, but it's cool they're working on something for the Switch. I hope whatever they are working turns out to be a success and that we see more games from them in the future. Edited March 16, 2017 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment

AGES Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Pretty awesome. I hope another Turrican game is their current project, as its their baby and it's been practically been 21-22 years since we've seen the iron lug. ' I also I wouldn't mind seeing some of there canceled projects turn up like, Animal Wars or the Rogue Squadron compilation. Edited March 16, 2017 by AGES Quote Link to comment

For all we know, Eggebrecht has friends at another developer that allowed him to tinker with the dev kit, and that's all. Not that I would've love a game comparable to Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader. I still love those games. Quote Link to comment
solitonmedic Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Good to see the Switch presenting so much opportunities for veteran and newcoming developers alike. It's there to show how much Nintendo is serious about making the Switch work. Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Glad to hear Factor 5 isn't quite pushing up daisies as expected since the past few years, though I wonder if much of the team is still together after all this time. Would love to see them work with Nintendo again. Quote Link to comment
LimeCatMaster Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I also would not know who the hell Factor 5 is/was if it had not been the added context. Quote Link to comment

Factor 5 was the team behind the GameCube's best launch game. Edited March 17, 2017 by Namevah Quote Link to comment

Since then, they have made Lair, and not-made several games that either got cancelled or never made it through the concept phase. And hell, I was aware Rogue Squadron was an acclaimed game on the Gamecube, but if you asked me who made it, I'd be like "uhhhhhhh...LucasArts? I dunner." Like, I wouldn't expect someone to know off of the top of their head who made Eternal Darkness. Edited March 17, 2017 by Cryptic Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Damn... Still a shame about EA owning the Star Wars gaming license now, even if their next attempt at Battlefront looks much more promising. I remember before Factor 5 was gonna do their attempt at a Superman game last gen, but it got cancelled sadly due to their bankruptcy at the time or somesuch. Quote Link to comment

Like Silicon Knights it seems like once Factor 5 moved on from Nintendo they tripped and fell into a rough spot. Ridley Prime 1 Quote Link to comment
K Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 But is it actually the same people that brought us those great games or are we working with a brand new crew? Quote Link to comment
