Capcom bins Talisman adaptation
PSN, XBLA, PC game no more.
Capcom has permanently stopped work on Talisman for PSN, XBLA and PC.
The adaptation of the Games Workshop boardgame actually ground to a halt a couple of months ago, but, as Joystiq points out, no one noticed.
"After a misfire at the start, the details of which I won't get into, we evaluated several options for moving the project to new developers, but the costs of moving forward outweighed the potential revenue," said Christian Svensson, Capcom suit, on the official publisher forums.
"The rights have reverted back to Games Workshop where I hope someone will pick them up and try again. I too still would like to play a Talisman videogame."
Talisman is a fantasy-themed adventure boardgame for up-to six people. The idea is to go around bashing monsters and gaining power, eventually venturing to the centre of the board to take control of a powerful spell that kills the other players.

My fave is TOMB though, although that is all about complex combat, as you say, not for casual gamers.

but then i realised its probably for the best.
no-one can emulate what the adventuring style of Talisman played like or the supreme Gary Chalk artwork for that matter.
...plus, you cant roll a one and end up blind drunk and collapsed in a corner in a video game.

Best moment was playing against my brother, watching him get all the way to the centre section, go through the Inner Region and just about make it, half dead, to the Valley of Fire. Then, just as he was about to advance and get the Crown of Command, I quietly pointed out that he did not have a Talisman.
Boy, was he pissed.

But then I figured that if its going to be crap, its probably for the best. These things only get made once, so at least this way someone gets the chance to do a decent job.
