How did an amazing game developer like Factor 5 go out of business? It's seriously one of the biggest losses in the gaming industry in the last 6 years. They made a name for themselves with their Gamecube technology that made their games look just as good if not better than anything on the original Xbox. One can only hope that Nintendo will be able to resurrect some form of the company for the Wii U.

It's amazing that one failed PS3 game could take down such as company like Factor 5. I'm usually not superstitious, but I'm starting to believe in this "Nintendo curse," a curse that afflicts companies that once worked exclusively for Nintendo. Rare hasn't done anything worth paying attention to since Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts; Silicon Knights is losing ground in their lawsuit against Epic Games; and Factor 5 has gone bust.
there is no games on xbox that match cubes best graphics
metroid/wind waker/resident evil 4/rs 2/rs3 etc....
factor 5 developed the gc/wii sound chip and both divx and musx started out as gc software before becomming mainstream,gamecube started a whole world of new stuff ps2 was just a bag of crap that needed expensive middleware just to get going...
gamecube/wii sound processor is 64channle digital sound and both pro-logic 2 and 2x are supported 2= 5.1 2x=7.1
but IGN tell us wii doesnt have surroud or woofer support
tell my onkyo av HD surround amp and woofer that lie IGN i enjoy total surround and woofer in all my core wii games COD/MARIO ETC
all the sound of cod x360 is there on wii in 5.1 gotta love LYARS like IGN
factor 5 went bust for one reason PLAYSTATION 3 SUPPORT the funny thing is i predicted it ,then it happened thats what you get for dumb INDUSTRY THINKING factor 5 thought oh well it has playstation on the box its a success totally ignoring nintendos disruption tactic IDIOTS they would have done so well on wii 3DS ...
