A few weeks ago we reported that Capcom's planned downloadable PC/video game adaptation of the Games Workshop board game Talisman had been cancelled. So what really happened behind the scenes? The Giant Realm web site now has a new Q&A with Capcom's director of production Adam Boyes to find out more info. Boyes states that the adaptation, "....still felt very pencil and paper, and in part, that's why it didn't work as well in the downloadable space. Pencil and paper games are very long, and they command healthy social interaction. Downloadables with super-long play time don't work well on the service, and we can't guarantee the quality of social interaction to have players stomach those long play times." The adaptation was being handled by Big Rooster, although Boyes never once states the dev team's name in the interview.
