Marvelous Entertainment's latest has all the makings of a classic: an American west setting, a main cast consisting of FBI agents and police officers, and a horror story surrounding a pair of midgets. Welcome to Rainy Woods.
That's not only the name of the new PS3/X360 action/adventure game from Marvelous, but it's also the name of the game's setting. The story begins when the body of a young girl named Anna Graham is found one particularly rainy morning in the woods outside the town of Rainy Woods. This sends the town into panic. Has the legendary Raincoat Killer returned?
The game will be published abroad by Ignition Entertainment, though it has now been secured as a XBox 360 exclusive title, according to the press release.
Or is it? The new teaser trailer accompanying the game's reintroduction gives PS3 fans some hope that the game will be available on their platform of choice. Towards the end of the trailer, a shooting segment clearly shows the game is being played on the PS3.
lol that is for sure!
Though judging from the teaser trailer just released, Deadly Premonition looks pretty bad.
Hopefully it is not.
Are ones that can't be technically performed on other systems.
I'm sure this is either coming out day one on both, or is a TIMED 360 exclusive.
Neither this nor Deadly Premonition looks at all interesting. Seems to me like small developers just don't have the resources to make a multiplatform game more than anything else.
Probably didn't pass Sony's Quality Control >_>
Seriously though, I remember being really excited about this game in 2007. It hasn't aged well, but I'd still play it. Actually surprised Sony didn't try to grab it to counter Alan Wake.
That HAZE and LAIR passed Sony's Quality Control?
And counter Alan Wake? Hell son, God Of War III counters the entire 360 library, let alone one game!
thats exactly what i thought when i saw the image.. I havent heard anything about this game though ill go google it lol
With Tokyo Game Show merely days away, everyone is anticipating the announcement of new games. Rumors have been flying from all corners of the internet, with whisperings that fan favorite franchises like Legend of Dragoon, Suikoden, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia, Kingdom Hearts and more may make an appearance at TGS 2009. And while PS3Center is definitely looking forward to whatever new reveals take place at the show later this week, PS3Center would also love to hear more on titles that have been announced at previous Tokyo Game Shows but have been deathly silent ever since.
Rainy Woods definitely looks a little dated now, but I would be downright shocked if we didn't hear at least a little bit about it at TGS. MMV has been talking about switching their efforts over to the PS360 ever since their Wii games have been flopping left and right, so it would make sense for Rainy Woods to make it's grand reappearance here.
Theres actually quite alot more vaporware titles out there.

Rainy Woods
Steambot Chronicles 2
Coded Arms Assault
Redwood Falls
I hope developers put most of these games back in development than putting them on hold especially now that the PS3 is @ $299. Would like to Redwood Falls (Zombie Game) back into development.
Edit: @colossi16
Really?, Well thats good to hear, from the looks of it, it could be a good action game.
Theres a reason the majority of those games are vaporware... they don't look impressive at all...
I'm not going to hold my breath for Wardevil. All of the controversy surrounding its existence leads me to believe it was nothing more than vaporware. I know people are looking forward to it, but it'd be best to just forget about it until something concrete and public surfaces.
Ohhhh... colossi16 .. sooo naive..
don't you know Wardevil was a game our parents used to tell us about at night to make us go to sleep with smiles on our faces..
after time we grew up and realized that it was but a myth, a childrens story.. like santa clause, the easter bunny or a nigerian check that would actually clear..
wardevil does not exist.. allow this old man's childhood memories to drift away in peace and never mention it again..
i was looking forward to that game as well nothing been mentioned since e3 2005 now 4 years later nothing still has been mentioned about it
OXCGN:
"Prior to E3'09 I listed 22 games gone Missing In Action (MIA) that I hoped to see at E3. Well in this update you will see which ones re-appeared, which ones remain lost, and which ones are stuck in production waiting for a publisher to help out."
If only...
Rare are working on Natal along with two other projects. Hopefully Molyneux will bring the shy guys at Rare out into the sunlight to spill the beans.
I'd definitely be interested in a new Viva Pinata or Perfect Dark with Natal controls.
I was downloading SSF2 Turbo HD and when I looked at my hard drive as it was downloading it came up as Perfect Dark, very odd lol.
Rares KI3 with natal would probably be very popular....
My choice would be an all new pushing the limits proper Banjo threeie and or a new full blown new gen Conker.Done with all the attention Rare and Microsoft can give them...Go all out,bring some new mechanic,raise the bar.....If not Banjo or Conker,give me Kameo 2 and or a new gen cart racer.....A new act/adv/platformer IP would be OK in my book too.....I just hope they can return to their former glory....They need to push for it,and not settle for just good enough...
Edge Of Twilight...I saw it at E3,looked at some nice target renders,saw some pre-viz art from sections in the game,and came away pretty impressed,a sleeper hit in the making? I do doubt it's Fall 09' release however,but hope I am wrong,and it does come,has potential....
Halo Chronicles... I have two former art/work partners that worked on it as late as August 08'.they did concept art,design.....My best quess is it will be all about natal and 3D....blink,blink....
Not yet. Rare are hard at work at SOMETHING...question is what? Perfect Dark Zero 2 for Natal? That would be cool...
Well I'd certainly like to play for Ms Dark, that's for sure.
I thought we would have heard about some of the ones still MIA though, plus there were a few quite horses that slipped through no one was even expecting . ..
While they are MIA, there's still work being done on them, it's just that the dev are a bit quite on them, while some have simply been moved aside for faster moving items that bring in the $$'s so the other newer IP's can be worked on.
We're just going through our huge Xbox 360 games listing atm, removing released and canceled games, and adding a swag of new ones that are poppping up around the globe.
I'd love to know the percentage of games that make it to market that were listed for 360...
Is it the economic downturn or is it the rise in gaming standards with the big publishers putting out mega games that dwarf interest in the little guys? Is it just too hard if you're not Ubi, EA, Activision etc.??
I really doubt too many of those will be finished; they may be made for PC or show up in a year or two. I wonder what the devs do when they have a game on hold?
Make another that will be put on hold or make a Wii ior DS game...
Dead Island....man, you developers think your sooooo funny, well, you know what, you kinda are as i thoughht that Alan Wake was gonna be pushed back a fair bit, still, great list
The number of games 'coming' from PC platform increases every month mate, not decreases. Many have shown up on our listing over the years, and a good number of those have made it into reality as developers realize the huge untapped market that is available on consoles, if they can capture it.
Doesn't make either platform better or worse, or one game better than the other, it simply means we as gamers get more games, better and bigger choices, and the industry grows.
What happened to all the MMORPGs that were supposed to come out on 360? They just did a Casper....
They certainly did, where was APB, and Huxley??? I think I heard some rumblings about them somewhere, but unsure. Those two would certainly be interesting games on the 360, or any console for that matter.
Sounds interesting and weird at the same time.
sounds a bit twin peaks. Wicked!!!!
I think the last few words of that article are the kiss of death.

Rainy Woods is set for Japanese release on both the 360 and PS3 some time in 2008. All it needs is an English voice cast, and it's guaranteed to be game of the year.
~~~~~
Game of the year eh!?! Methinks not.
LOL just joking : )
be a sleeper hit you never know,i'll keep checking up on this game.
