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.
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."
Videogamer: "The last few weeks may have seen South Park: The Stick Of Truth, DriveClub, and Watch Dogs receive delays, but at least those responsible had the decency to tell you. Sometimes we're not that lucky."
some games might be cancelled but the last garduian is not and i think that also agent is still in dev and i hope they take a switch to ps4
I think its more they are going through development hell rather than cancel.
Most games that go through development hell tend to amass a hefty budget. That only result the game needing to sell more copies in order to make an profit.
or maybe the companies are not making these games their main development and making a small amount of people work on it
The Last Guardian will see light of day on the PS4 you can COUNT ON IT!
Frame City Killer = DEAD along with Namco
Sadness = WiiU will arrive but by the name Last Flight and by another Dev team.
The Outsider = No one cares because the Dev team is working on a Much more important game Elite:Dangerous which will go toe to toe with StarCitizen. ANyway The Outsider may see light of day on the XB1/PS4/PC but ONLY AFTER Elite:Dangerous!
Agent = will see light of Day as a PS4 Exclusive now that Metal Gear Solid is multiplat Sony wants another Exclusive Stealth game and Agent will fill that void.
One problem though, Rockstar North is very busy. They got GTAV PC and DLC to do plus Red Dead Redemption 2, maybe Bully 3, plus L.A. Noire 2 and GTAVI. Yes i know other Rockstar studios are the leads in some of these games but Rockstar North are the GO TO GUYS.
Agent went from PS3 exclusive to PS3/X360 game back to PS3 Exclusive to NO way a Dev team would waste time trying to pump out a PS3 game with PS4 on the shelf.
Other Games: Prey 2 - still in Development most likely will see XB1/PS4
STALKER 2 OMG if Sergie wasn't such an idiot people would work for him but as is STALKER 2 has no funds and no Dev team. Get those two things and we may see the ZONE again. Other than that Survarium made by the Original STALKER team is the next best thing.
The Last Guardian and Agent are coming. THEY HAVE TO....they have to. Lol I'm blindly speculating: VGAs or E3.
"5 Games That May Be *Delayed* Forever"
*lists 3 games that have been confirmed cancelled for years*
Great work videogamer.com
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.
So they mis lead us... Got us hopeful again for no reason... Nice :(
This is exactly why I didn't get my hopes up. Freaking lame.
