8CN: Games get canceled all the time, but rarely do we ever hear very much about them. Usually, they're canned well before the public is aware of their existence, with the studios quietly pushing the project under the rug (or recycling the work into new games entirely). These games however, failed pretty spectacularly.
Prey 2 sure looked interesting. The first one gave me motion sickness with the sudden inversions.
The first one's concept sounds amazing! I hope they, or someone gets back to it. The outlook should be different now with the new gen consoles...
CCC Says: "Sadness has been resurrected. Remember it? You're forgiven if you don't. It was originally Wii Vaporware. NIBRIS was going to make it for the Wii way, way back when the console was first announced in 2006, but it didn't happen. Instead, it officially drifted away into ephemeral vaporware in 2010. It came back to our attention on May 20, 2014, when HullBreach and Cthulhi said they wanted to revive the Sadness IP as a 2D RPG with puzzle elements in a NintendoLife interview. Except a day later, on May 21, it was revealed that there are four studios trying to call dibs on Sadness and that HullBreach and Cthulhi don't have the rights or access to the concept."
The Sadness IP is in the hands of a consortium with 4 studios currently fighting for the bid, and that while we at HullBreach and Cthulhi would like to make a competing bid and secure rights to Sadness, unfortunately we cannot at this time. Sorry to fans for any inconvenience.
So 4 studios out of nowhere are now fighting over this game that has never gotten attention, nor any info? It just seems like they came to claim it from the hype the internet had because people heard it's returning. Maybe because of these four studios fighting over the game, maybe eventually someone will actually make the dang thing.
wow i completly forgot about this game i remember seeing it in game informer long ago. Reading this article it makes me think that they canned it or just forgot about it.
yeah i totally forgot about this game!
We need more good games for the Wii.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer for this game to come out. The Wii is in dire need (at least in the Hardcore gamers' eyes) of some great games.
You'll see a lot of bots crying on this site. Just look at the God of War 3 articles.
