Finish and release Cipher Complex
Sign Now
Cipher Complex is a stealth-action video game for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that was announced in June 2006 and was in development at Edge of Reality. Early 2009 saw the cancellation of the title by Sega (the publisher). As an independent self-funded project (though a certified AAA game) that was reportedly well on track, Edge of Reality were hoping to breathe fresh air into the genre dominated by Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and the Metal Gear Solid series by infusing slick, faster-paced and progressive gameplay that would be very instinctive, hence their term "aggressive infiltration." The main character, Lt. Col. John Sullivan (callsign: Cipher) would be the player character (here's an outline of the plot):
U.S. surveillance satellites detect activity onboard the decommissioned Soviet Bargration Missile Defense Station 4 off the east coast of Siberia. When the Russians deny the U.S. access to the facility, Department of Defense strategists suggest that a small, plausibly deniable reconnaissance mission be sent in to investigate. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is given the go-ahead for operation BLACKOUT, the insertion of a single expert Operator on Russian WMDs and launch facilities. Lt. Col. John Sullivan, callsign: Cipher is air dropped in, and what was supposed to be primarily a reconnaissance mission becomes a race against a terrorist threat; one with implications that will shake the foundations of American democracy and freedoms.
We, the The Undersigned, urge Sega and of course, Edge of Reality, to at least consider reviving Cipher Complex as the premise was very interesting and would feature unique gameplay elements, something the developers themselves described as never before seen in a game of this type. A rich experience, in short. Many gamers were understandably gutted when this game was axed and why it was canned was never disclosed by anyone. Not Sega, not Edge of Reality and not any of the gaming news websites.
As Binu Philip, President of Edge of Reality described it, "Our dream project."
