Swordfish Studio 'sources' deny 50 Cent game canceled

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 19th 2008 at 1:45PM }

Swordfish Studio "sources" tell GI.biz that the rumor of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand's cancellation is not true. The site reports "sources close" to the studio say the game is currently having its bugs fixed, and that it is still expected to release this holiday.

GI.biz goes on to note that the "studio is confident of a secure future in the industry." We'll have to wait and see if that future lies with Activision-Blizzard, though, as the publisher is still reviewing the status of several Sierra/Vivendi properties.

I tried to think of something witty but the fact that this game is actually real is just too mind blowing for that

Me and my friends spent the day talking about this "game." At the end of the day I found out the entire time they thought I was just joking.

And now... a word from Soulja Boy:

"50Cent is the granddaddy of deez nutz. But this game is off the chain. G-g-g-g-g-game of the Yiz-ear!"

Erluti @ Sep 19th 2008 1:55PM

I really really think Soulja Boy will hate this game... I mean...
wooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOP!
I really really think Soulja Boy will love this game.

Fenix @ Sep 19th 2008 2:06PM

O_o Guess you guys haven't heard eh? Soulja Boys got his own game coming out to be worried about Fiddys.

In Soulja boy's game does he trade in his Nesquik jacket for a suit, so he can look all grown up and shit?

FOXHOUND @ Sep 19th 2008 2:23PM

...or... or die trying. o_o

Tiptup300 @ Sep 19th 2008 2:39PM

Dirty @ Sep 19th 2008 2:40PM

I know, no Wii port. Shafted again, the nerve...

>:(

I can be proud in owning the one console that this game isn't coming to, for one.

Dirty @ Sep 19th 2008 2:25PM

I am proud of owning the 2 consoles that Ninja Bread Man was not released on.

jimmygotsmack @ Sep 20th 2008 3:21AM

I am proud of owning all the consoles.

Still would like to avoid this like the plague though.

Haggard (Free Mr.ESC!) @ Sep 19th 2008 1:55PM

I'm buying it.

Fenix @ Sep 19th 2008 2:01PM

I'm buying it too. They just need to rename it

Gears of Hoodwar

EASY MONEY YO! :P

Duke @ Sep 19th 2008 2:01PM

Thank God! It wouldn't be a holiday without a 50 Cent game.

smcn @ Sep 19th 2008 2:04PM

By the time it comes out 50 Cent won't even be relevant.

Oh, wait.

Metal_Gear @ Sep 19th 2008 2:06PM

I will only buy this game if 50 Cent can be decapitated.

Even then I'd have to be drugged up to my eyeballs to even ask anyone if they have this game in stock, and at the opposite side of the country to buy it as I am not risking someone I know seeing my buy it... I'd have to stay logged out of PSN while on it too...

Dirty @ Sep 19th 2008 2:09PM

You could shoot this game 5 times in a back alley and it still wouldn't die.

wesley johnson @ Sep 19th 2008 2:16PM

you can't stop fiddy, you can only hope to contain him on some form of disc media.

Shagittarius @ Sep 19th 2008 2:25PM

Only the good die young.

d1srupt0r @ Sep 19th 2008 2:39PM

Don't worry, it's just going to be renamed to 50 Cent: Survival of The Fiddy.

Red Leader @ Sep 19th 2008 2:58PM

Hey look people, something I hate more than all the tools who baught Rock Band 2. THE SAME GAME BUT WITH ANOTHER +100 DOLLARS PRICE TAG.

FemaleOrca @ Sep 19th 2008 3:10PM

Kizzle @ Sep 19th 2008 3:10PM

What's "baught?"

Rock Band 2 does not cost "+100 DOLLARS." It costs 60 dollars and it is worth every penny.

You should save your hate for something that deserves it, like democrats.

TheNoid @ Sep 19th 2008 3:39PM

Not true, most ppl with any common sense just bought the rb2 game, cause they already had all the cheap plastic instruments from the last one. Unless they broke the cheap plastic drums... I mean seriously what genius decided to make the base petal (something thats purpose is to be repeatedly stomped the the hell out of) entirely of plastic?
