So, I keep hearing this stuff about this..."Sadness" I haven't heard anything about it other than this screen and the other topic saying something about...something I forget. Can anyone please tell me more information about this game? I'll deffinatly be getting a Wii at launch but dunno how I've missed this game.

Taken from Ign

"
First off, Sadness is not a working title for their premiere Wii title. It's the final name. The story takes place before World War I, slated earlier than 1914. In addition, Nibris officially stated that the style for Sadness is meant to be totally unique. It isn't inspired by Sin City, it isn't a "classic comic book feel," it's its own style. In fact, the look it chose is more influenced by the era's black and white cinema. Players should get the feeling of a pre-1920s movie. In addition, Nibris added that Sadness will focus in a Slavic country. Specifics will be released later."

If they can pull it off, It could be one of the greatest, most original games we have seen in along time.

I'm taking this as confirmation that they still haven't managed to get their hands on a Wii devkit, since this is from a PC.

I also don't believe for a second that it's in-engine.

It looks like a person superimposed on to a shot someone made in photoshop.

I think it's a screenshot of an in-game trailer. I think it will have a very cool art direction. I'm also glad that Nintendo is lining up a lot of mature styled games that don't include Mario. I love Mario platformers, but I am not a big fan of Mario sports. I think Sadness will be a great game and I will definitley buy it even though it probably won't end up coming out until 08 or after. I wish Silicon Knights was still free to develop for Nintendo because I loved Eternal Darkness, hopefully MS will push Silicon Knights to develop a sequal to Eternal Darkness for 360 when they are done with Too Human.

I hope no one actually believes that is in-game. It looks better than Crysis. You'd have to be silly to think that an indie developer would be putting out better visuals than a professional team, especially at this stage during development and with their most likely low budget. All you have to do is look at the hair. C'mon. That has to be art. They're fooling themselves if they think their game is going to look that realistic.

...Nobody even made mention of that being a real shot.:-? And how can you say that looks better than Crysis? Crysis actually shows intense detail whereas that shot is more like a silhouette.:lol:

That looks great but I doubt they could pull that kinda graphics on the Wii. I know it's a ways off but still, I have a ton of doubts about the graphical capabilities of the Wii. Prove me wrong NIBRIS.:)

Since when did indie developers not count as "professionals"?

They said "PC workstation in game shot", which doesn't say that it's a real Wii shot... not yet anyway.

I love the art direction. I hope Sadness turns out to be a great game.

I consider the professionals the ones with experience. But it does it matter whether I call them professional or not? My point still stands.

They said "PC workstation in game shot", which doesn't say that it's a real Wii shot... not yet anyway.

Well, I wasn't really arguing whether or not that could be done on Wii, but whether their team could do it period.

:-? And how can you say that looks better than Crysis? Crysis actually shows intense detail whereas that shot is more like a silhouette.:lol:

All you have to do is look at the edges. There are no jaggies or sharp edges on anything in that picture. It looks like it was made with round polygons.

That looks mighty tasty. If the Wii can pull off graphics like that, who needs a PS3?

Considering I don't think anyone in the 15 posts before you was convinced they were actually in-game graphics... you're an idiot.

I have a feeling I'm going to be making a lot of two to three day old comments since I've been gone all weekend. :D
