Why are mommy and daddy fighting? Is it because of me?Not only is Traxion out of LucasArts' lineup - so is Kuju Entertainment. Only a couple of days after announcing that LucasArts, in mutual consent with Kuju, would no longer publish Traxion, Kuju has announced that they have severed their publishing agreement with LucasArts as well.

Kuju Brighton studio head Ed Daly confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that Kuju has formally split from LucasArts "in respect of the Traxion game." Hard to interpret from this sentence whether this means that Kuju's looking for a new publisher for Traxion. On the other hand, Daly went on to mention that they are "confident" that they can put the technology developed for Traxion to good use "in future releases." Again, we can't interpret this to mean that Traxion is still looking for a publisher, but this may mean a similar Kuju title, or a game using some elements from Traxion, in the future.

Eat crap you slimy wet turds who hate first (and third) posters. Seek anger management.

I had not heard of this game before, but the idea is interesting, if a bit lacking for a fully-fledged game. I'd expect this to be an XBLA game or something. I definitely wouldn't pay $50 for it.



There's plenty of visualization technology out there. It shouldn't be hard to take that and make it drive the 'random' elements of a game. It could be interesting, actually. Each song would be a 'level'.



But I don't think there's enough substance there. That's probably why LucasArts dropped it... It was going to cost too much to bother.

NOOOOOOOOOO



this was a game i was REALLY looking forward to playing.



It's really unfortunate... i was pleased to see game companies developing projects which allow you to play the PSP in an innovative way.



A total loss...
