Report: Faith and a .45 on hold

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Jan 30, 2009 12:45 pm PT

Chili Con Carnage creator Deadline Games said to be unable to find publisher for Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired shooter, stalling development.

Just over a year ago, Total Overdose and Chili Con Carnage developer Deadline Games unholstered Faith and a .45, the Danish studio's first effort for the current generation of consoles. Unfortunately, it appears as if the action game has hit a jam.

PS3 Attitude reports this week that development on Faith and a .45 has been placed on hold. According to a source within the company, Deadline has been unable to secure a publisher for the game, a situation that has led a number of independent developers in the past 12 months--including Iron Lore, Factor 5, and Free Radical--to fold or make substantial staff cuts. Deadline Games had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment as of press time.

A new intellectual property, Faith and a .45 is a cooperative multiplayer-centric shooter that draws its inspiration from the real-life travails of famed bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde. The game follows Luke and Ruby, a couple of outlaws in love who are crisscrossing the country with guns at the ready. Looking to stop Luke and Ruby's spree will be a nefarious oilman and the oppressive forces at his command.

According to Deadline Games' Web site, the developer still has a number of other titles in development, including a range of family-friendly games based on the Hanna-Barbera license. Deadline is also at work on the Warner Bros. Interactive-published Watchmen film tie-in for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

    I had a lot of hopes for this game (still do!), but it appears it's just going to languish in development purgatory.

    Oh dear... This does NOT sound like a good game.
    Maybe the idea would have worked a little better in RPG form? I don't know.
    Oh well, I'm happy with Baldur's gate ATM!

    @ ScionofEntropy

    But having a motive for what they are doing is so cliche. It would be nice to see some sort of story in a game or movie where the main characters or the antagonists are doing what they are doing for the hell of it, or simply because they find it entertaining.

    ia_mc:

    No, they have to be rebels WITH a cause. People won't care or sympathize with them at all if they're just outlaws for the sake of it. Who cares if it makes them less cool? We need motivation here.

    Gotta love game stories. They're bank robbers, but their enemies are "a nefarious oilman and the oppressive forces at his command." Can't bank robbers just be bank robbers rather than holy crusaders out for justice?
