SCEE Cambridge: What went wrong?

SCEE produced two amazing games in Primal and Ghosthunter. Top notch graphics, solid gameplay, involving worlds, witty, lively scripts and characters and engrossing storylines.

Yet, both games flopped.

Why is this? Why do two of the best games get stompped on while the Lord of The Rings games, which are more or less the same with different names, sell bucketloads? No justice at all I tell ya.

Speaking of which, does anyone know when and if SCEE will be making another game? It would be a sad day to see them hang it up.

I guess for starters they need better advertising cos I don't know what the fuck you're getting on about. Any links to share with a mongrel bastard?

Has Ghost Hunter even been released in the States?

figures I'd need to get out more and learn about that new fangled contraption called the Playstation 2.

The ghost hunter site looks great. The sheep that I am just decided to go deeper into the hallway seeing what could be seen, and the effects of see-it-or-miss it apparitions in the hall looked interesting.

Was Ghosthunter even released? I can't find it for sale anywhere and GameSpot's page on it list a couple of previews and screenshots, but no review.

It was released in England, but it did so badly that it's now probably never going to get a stateside release, which doesn't make sense to me as America is a bigger market.

I dug Primal out of the bargain bin this weekend. I'm a little surprised it was a flop, but it's not really an A+ game either. Folks who can't get enough Soul Reaver/Kain games would be wise to check it out. It's a fantastic looking PS2 game and the voice acting is actually pretty good. My gripes are with the spazzy camera and the somewhat hands-off control. You can do much worse than Primal, but there's better adventure games out there.
