Does anyone here know for sure if the inFamous 2 art book by ballistic was canceled? I've been hearing mixed reports and I don't know what to think anymore.

It's still listed on a German guide site, release is set to December, 6th. But see yourself

with steep 44 euros price tag.

They are also listing the Resident Evil Archives Volume 2.

Yea I've had a copy on preorder from Amazon for a few months now, but they recently pulled down the listing...but they haven't cancelled my order. Now this plus hearing reports that the book was canned....but then not canned...... I'm just confused.

Amazon also had moved the release date to "Dec 6th" before pulling the listing altogether.

also I'd be pretty upset if they seriously cancel the inFamous 2 book but release Twisted Metal.....seriously!?

I have that infamous 2 artbook in preorder from amazon.com (US) too and I didn't know it was canceled (or possibly canceled). Can you confirm this yet AJ?

Also, quick question: Seems that a bunch of you know more about these European Guides and releases than I do...I just preordered Deus Ex: HRCE guide (futurepress) from Zavvi because the listing that showed up on amazon.com (US) now says "OOP" and people are saying it won't be stocked here in US, so I want to know if you guys think I will definitely get one from Zavvi (considering I preordered it 2 days before release)?

No ideas still. I am just going to wait it out at this point. Though I might try contacting Ballistic again. I am not sure if they can discuss projects that aren't announced yet, but surely they can confirm if something has been dropped from their roster? I saw a statement from someone that worked at Ballistic saying it was canceled, but then someone else (who is also a valid source) said it wasn't...and they both said this around the same period of time (early August).

So I'm still just as lost on the existence of this book as well. :| I think with the amazon listing all but coming down is more proof leaning towards it not coming out... but I am hopeful so we will see.

You think a game like inFAMOUS would be a sure go for something like an art book. who knows. maybe i am just bias.

Actually, looking at the listing for Infamous 2, it's possible that instead of being canceled, it's simply sold out (for now).

You think so? I find it odd that amazon pulled the release date on the listing too. I still have some hope that this is coming out (as I really want it) though, so I guess I'll wait and see. I guess I'll really worry if amazon cancels my order.

I don't know, but I also ordered one from Zavvi recently, so I would hope so. However, the ONLY guide that is hard to find right now is Bayonetta, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think you can also buy some from Book Depository.
