Here is a little bit of news on a game that I had almost completely given up on. Sadness a game that has been eternaly delayed and seen next to no news for the past year or so has had a screenshot pop up on the IGN forums where the developers, Nibris, often post. It was quickly yanked away but of course the internet is faster than that and grabbed it. Nice to see a little sign of life from the game as I was always interested in it. Before it became the stuff of legend and a sure bet to be vaporware game of the year for many years, Sadness looked like a really interesting game that mostly involved exploration. The entire game is supposedly in black and white and features a unique play style that could only be accomplished on the Wii. Of course there is no proof of this, only a few screens from Nibirs. No one has had any play time with game and until this screen popped up most people had probably stopped thinking about the game. Now word as to whether or not the screen is in game or not but it has succesfully piqued my interest once again in a game I'm pretty sure will almost never see the light of day. It's top bad the game would have been a real departure from the norm and if it played anything like Nibris was claiming it would have been very interesting to get our hands on. Ummmm...pun about being sad about Sadness goes here.

There's a reason people won't fund it, and it's probably because it's shit.
Nothing to see here folks!
The concept sounds alright but really beyond the fact that it's in black & white, involves exploration, and uses motion controls somehow, there is absolutely no other info on the game. They've never released screens, only art and FMV (that pic looks like a cg cutscene with extreme filters to me). I guess everyone is just excited about the concept which at the moment, is basically the fact that it's a mature, scary-ish, black & white game on a system that is lacking in that area.
Why? For the same reason people are looking forward to Day of Disaster (and to a lesser extent Duke Nukem Forever).
If you compare Nibris to 3D Realms, who has the most to loose? I'd say 3D realms after working on their game for ten years. In comparison Sadness is not taking ten years and info is tricking out for it. Compared to 3D Realms, a bigger dev, I'd say give Nibris a chance.
Don't forget, we waited ages for Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros with many delays, but Nintendo were forgiven. Nibris deserve the same chance and respect.
When Nibris say its cancelled, I'll concede then.
