Fresh from
Luc Bernard's Destructoid blog, here is the first footage from his WiiWare exclusive,
Eternity's Child. This game has turned heads for its indie roots and unique visual appeal, and the footage shows off some old school platforming elements melded with the Wiimote-controlled heart targetting that we've heard about.
It looks simplistic, but nostalgic and thoroughly gorgeous. It kind of reminds me of
Rayman after listening to The Cure too much. Hopefully we get some more videos soon to get a better idea of what this game can offer. It certainly looks pretty, but I'm hoping the gameplay is more involved than what's shown. Also, don't forget to
check out our feature where Luc clears the air about his other project,
Imagination Is The Only Escape.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

Can't wait for more gameplay info to come out.
I'd play it.
I'll probably play it anyway.
I think you're probably showing us all you've done so far, and if I'm right, that's not good. Blowing your load too early, I believe is the phrase. Wait until you're in polish mode to start showing us content.
Luc got angry because people called his game a "Nazi torture" game.
Minter got angry because his game was shit and sold badly to a better one.
S'a difference. And if Luc gets upset at constructive criticism in this thread, I'll call him on it.
It had no business doing well.
no idea what was going on there, but it didn't look like much fun.
While I've got your attention, I'm going to ram this down your throat. There were 6 buttons that draw your weapon in Mass Effect, not 3.
Six? Man, that game sucks nuts.
I'm a sucker for great story and atmosphere, even if it comes along with bland gameplay, but I didn't see anything particularly engaging here. Understandably, the verdict is still out as the footage clocks in at a mere 25 seconds, but I'm not seeing the hype.
This looks like it could turn out to be a fun game, but I hope there is more to the action. I look forward to seeing more videos, but as of now, I'd at least give it a try.
Knee joints, that is.
Har har.
but not everything can be Fez, I guess.
It is so sad to live in a time when accepting the reality of our history is too horrible for such a 'sensitive' audience...
That, or one of youtube's managers is a neo-nazi or a muslim.
And I didn't even get to see the gameplay!
