Title: Renegade Kid's New Wii game is officially canceled
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 28, 2008, 10:21:43 PM
Gamecock is their publisher again (http://wii.ign.com/articles/906/906336p1.html)
Renegade Kid made Dementium the ward and Moon for DS.
Quote
Though still without a name, Renegade Kid revealed to IGN that it has signed a deal with publisher Gamecock (which backed Dementium) to bring the mystery title out. "Based on one of the biggest horror icons of all time, the game's name, plot or what systems it will be available for have yet to be revealed," the companies jointly noted in a release given to IGN. (We can take a guess about what system(s) it'll be coming to, by the way.)
Fans expecting a Dementium or Moon-like first-person shooter could be in for a surprise. According to the companies, "The completely new title changes things up from past Renegade Kid projects in terms of gameplay, genre and style."

They need to get a publisher who publishes in Europe too.

Oh, and the rumour from not too far back said that the name of Renegade Kid's next game was "Son of the Dragon," which pretty much fits Dracula...

I guess annoucing games without anything (or barely) to show for them is the new fad on wii?
It's not a fad, it's protocol.

Canceled because Gamecock doesn't exist anymore since South Peak bought em out (http://www.destructoid.com/renegade-kid-s-dracula-title-gets-staked-in-the-heart-121491.phtml) Straight from Renegade Kid (http://www.renegadekid.com/news.htm)

Developer Renegade Kid has confirmed that its previously announced Dracula title has been shelved. The deal was signed with Gamecock -- which no longer formally exists -- last year.
The game, called Son of the Dragon was rumored to be a Wii game that would follow the adventures of Dracula's son. The intellectual property is still owned by Renegade Kid, although there are no current plans to revive the project. The developer is currently working on an unannounced game for an unannounced system, which will be released during an unannounced time-frame sometime in the future.
Let's hope the opportunity for Renegade Kid to dig up this game's corpse presents itself. In all honesty, I have to say I'm disappointed by this turn of events. Castlevania has the Dracula-market covered, and I think it's about time there's some competition.

Well, let them develop a demo and get a something-other-than-Winter petition going.

I actually don't mind. I enjoyed Dementium so maybe they could port that up to WiiWare and update some stuff. It could be good fun for $10 and nice controls.

Blame Mike Wilson from gamecock he's just all about the money despite what he says. When he made Gathering of Developers (GOD games) he quickly sold it to 2K. When he made Gamecock he said he isn't about the money and wants to support smaller developers and what not but greedy Mike quickly went back to his old habits and sold it to South Peak. A couple of games like Mushroom men were picked up by South Peak to get published and a bunch of games like Renegade Kid's Son of Dragon got canned.
