Nibris' Wii title, Sadness 'delayed' until 2009, probably doesn't exist

:[

I've been saying it for a long time now, this thing is vaporware. There's no reason in this day and age that it would take THAT long to make a Wii game.

Absolutely anyone can think of cool ideas for a game, this is called naive fantasy and casual observation from the "wouldn't it be cool if..." school of naivety.

Few people can execute a workable idea into a functional, playable piece of interactive art, this discipline is called game design, and Nibris don't have it.

Thank you for that caption.

Nibris also said that it will be updating its website soon with some new info on Sadness and its other games. However "soon" can mean a year away.

According to Nibris, Sadness is an AAA game with a big budget. The dev team was said to be made up of 50 people. I appriciate that Nibris wants to take its time to make a high quality innovative title, but they really made a big mistake by announcing the game so early on when all we are left with are rare announcements of the title being pushed back again and still no trailer or screen shots. Hell, even the new Final Fantasy and RE 5 games have shown some trailers and screen shots.

Wait...someone was making a game called Sadness?
It's really sad when you discover a new title through an announcement of it's delay.

They cant show it. I Guess gamers dont get that you cant show games with out a publisher. Because you want to keep it on the down low. So you can keep it hot. to keep publishers intrested in it.

Don't you guys get it? We ARE playing Sadness right now, they promise a sweet game, and keep pushing it away, and we get sad.

I'm gonna be nice and give them the benefit of the doubt. Why?

Because they are a small developer. Get real guy and girls. We have established well known developers like Rare who take forever to produce product, yet little is said about that because 'they are established and well known'. And after the brilliance of Dementium, I have faith in small teams, creating something larger developers only dream of.

On top of all that, how many games from established developers and publishers have been canned over the years, dashing our hopes? Do we give upn on them with disdain and never buy their games angrily? No, we suck it up angrily and deal with it.

Nibris are still making the game for Wii and that's good enough, as there are plenty of other games coming to Wii in 2008, let alone other formats games.

Hey, do you remember Too Human? That was first announced on N64 many years ago, (count them) and is only now nearing completion. Yep, it took years but you'll be able to play it soon, but everyone forgot about that huge delay.

Either way, I'll still look forward to Sadness, no matter how long it takes. I have a feeling Nibris could well be to Wii, what Silicon Knights were to GC, as Silicon Knights were unknown before Eternal Darkness, and look at them now.

Cut Nibris some slack, Dtoid.

They can't show us anything because it is so face meltingly awesome that it is lethal. Like that Monty Python skit. They have to figure out how to divide the awesomeness into doses small enough that we can survive. It's really simple when you think about it.

Wasn't sure how you were going to pull this one off but...SADNESS EXISTS!

And you can't compare this to Duke Nukem Forever. What it been one two years? How long has DNF and Too Human been in the making?

Yeah, but Too Human was originally supposed to be an N64 game....N64!!

I'm sorry Dtoid, come back when Sadness is out, because I see very little criticism of Too Human's developers for not getting their game out sooner.

They stopped working on Too Human for various reasons though. Only after Eternal Darkness was completed did they start working on it again. It's not like they've been slowly working on it since they announced it for N64 unlike Duke Nukem Forever.

If and when Sadness does come out and is a really good game, then Nibris can tell us all to kiss its ass.

I wonder if Nintendo will consider buying Nibris and making it into a first-party developer if it can prove itself worthy with Sadness. Nibris may be a second-party developer, but it is devoted to supporting Nintendo platforms.

Nibris is such a joke. I don't want to hear about them again until they release something...stupid cunts.

And who are you that Nibris needs to prove the game's existence to?

Psst, guys: Don't tell anyone that this came from me.
