Dead Rush dead

Activision pulls the plug on its multiconsole survival horror driving game just months after its E3 unveiling.

Double-click the video window for a full-screen view. For a game about the undead, Dead Rush didn't live very long. Just over two months after Activision unveiled the hybrid of survival horror and driving action at the 2004 E3, it has summarily canceled the project. "We gave it an opportunity, but it didn't meet our standards as a big proposition," said Activision Publishing CEO Ron Doornick in a post-earnings report conference call today.

In development at Spider-Man 2 studio Treyarch, Dead Rush was to be released on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube. It was to follow an amnesiac who wakes up in a coastal town racked by earthquakes and overrun with zombies.

This looked like an awesome action game, with cool over the shoulder shooter mechanics. the vehicle sequences looked pretty slick too. It sure had promise. I hope this project gets revived.

When I first heard of this game in GameInformer, I thought I was dreaming. It was the coolest concept ever.
