I think this is new (I at least havent heard it talked about around here, the Nibris site is up here. It doesnt really reveal anything new about sadness or Raid over the river, but it does have some interesting tidbits. It has some music from both games, I like the music for Sadness, it really gives you a good idea of the mood that the game is going to be in. It also has some info about each game.

btw, when you click on the link for sadness it asks you "Are you at least 21 years old and dont suffer from a heart condition, or nervous disposition?" Dont worry about it, there isnt anything to worry about, maybe they are planning on putting some more shocking footage up later, but right now it is just type.

The most reassuring thing about all of this is that they seem serious. That is a cool website, stylish and well made. The website is the main reason I don't doubt a hoax, or that they'll fall through and make a bad game. They might actually offer something really cool.

I really like their direction and background, but they shouldnt have said that Nintendo brought games to life, because thats not true.

That all depends...ask anyone in 1984-85, and that statement is quite correct.

Video games weren't going anywhere until Nintendo entered the market. They did for video games what the printing press did for writing.

Dasmos · « **Reply #6 on:** April 30, 2006, 05:36:57 PM »

It could also mean that, without the Wii's controller, their games couldn'y be brought to life in a medium they were happy with.

I really hope sadness turns out good.

Hostile: Really? I seem to recall the computer game market being unaffected by that.

mantidor · « **Reply #9 on:** April 30, 2006, 08:12:31 PM »

The fact is simple, Nintendo didnt invented video games, period. "They revive the market" "without them we wouldnt be where we are know" etc, etc, all valid arguments but they dont matter, saying Nintendo brought games to life is false.

"They did for video games what the printing press did for writing."

Making them more mainstream? well, that wasnt Nintendo, it was Sony.

No, in the 1980s Nintendo singlehandedly expanded the videogame market, and made it mainstream. Sony did this again with the PlayStation, but it was not nearly as drastic.. And if Nintendo hadn't done what they did Sony wouldn't be able to do what they did.

The fact remains that Super Mario Bros is the most popular game of all time (although it was packed in), and Super Mario Bros 3 is the best-selling game ever that was not packed in with the system. Needless to say, Nintendo made gaming mainstream well before Sony expanded the market further..

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #11 on:** April 30, 2006, 08:32:25 PM »

Inventing video games and "bringing them to life" are two different things. If Nibris meant invent, they would have said invent. They meant that Nintendo brought something into gaming that no other company did. Among developers, Nintendo is probably the #1 most respected developer.

"Making them more mainstream? well, that wasnt Nintendo, it was Sony."

Hahaha, you obviously have no idea how profoundly the printing press affected the world.

KDR: I dunno. I never recall computer games being any good (oh!).

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #12 on:** April 30, 2006, 08:54:41 PM »

There were computer games back in the 80s? I don't recall PCs being all that popular until the 90s...

By the way I must admit you have a talent for finding and creating simple, but eye catching anime Icons.

Sony did not. They stole an existing market, but they did not create a huge phenomenon. Nintendo saved the entire market singlehandedly.

PC gaming got much much bigger in the late 80's/early 90's (probably because of Doom and Wolfenstien)than in the market crash years, and the NES years that followed. It was pretty much nonexistant. Nonexistant in terms of households with PCs, and those that played games on those PCs.

Back in the day, you could play games stored on cassettes, as well as 5 1/2" disks. The cassettes looked like regular music tapes, and the computer controlled the playing of the tape. Not sure of the systems available then, Commadore, Amiga maybe.

Stoooop, there's nothing suggestive about my avatars! ;_; LOOK!

"By the way I must admit you have a talent for finding and creating simple, but eye catching anime Icons."

Thanks! But apparently this has its downsides!

I knew it was her hand.

But if Im not mistaken those are the Tsukihime maids, and knowing where they came from, an erotic game from Japan, and also the "shiki chan, lets have fun together" text, does make your avatar indeed dirty mister!

but yeah... nibris... they look very promising.

Kairon · « **Reply #22 on:** May 03, 2006, 11:35:57 PM »

Caught red-handed there Bill!

Anyways, yeah, Nibris... I really hope they get a publisher because I'm curious as to what exactly a small studio can accomplish...

Well, their special power IS to boost other people's power through intercourse (which apparently caused them a traumatic childhood)... Also that's Kohaku (I knew I've seen her before but the avatar is cropped so much I couldn't tell who exactly that was). Shouldn't she be more cheerful?

If you define PC as IBM 8086 compatible, yes, those weren't a factor in gaming before the 90s but there were systems like the C64 and the ever popular Amiga out there. Elite originates from that period, as does Turrican. Oh and all those Infocom games. People like Jeff Minter and Rob Hubbard started their carreer on them. A big name at the time was Rainbow Arts.

"Also that's Kohaku (I knew I've seen her before but the avatar is cropped so much I couldn't tell who exactly that was). Shouldn't she be more cheerful?"

Yeah, it seems the artist goofed up on the eye color of the two...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #25 on:** May 04, 2006, 08:55:31 AM »

The eye color seems correct. I think the pose the artist was going for is the one she has here.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #26 on:** May 04, 2006, 12:41:53 PM »

It's the expressions that are throwing me off...(Kohaku always smiles and Hisui is the serious one...)

And whooooops, I totally ruined this topic, sorry!

(Supposedly a Sadness trailer is coming out soon!)

The Omen · « **Reply #27 on:** May 04, 2006, 06:03:58 PM »

Saw some stills from the Sadness trailer, looks quite good.

mantidor · « **Reply #29 on:** May 04, 2006, 06:30:33 PM »

Ok LAST time I mention the stupid name, seriously... but Im reading the description of Sadness which gots me really excited about what they are cooking up, and the whole damn thing falls apart the moment I see "Wii controller", the nice little music of the site, the presentation, everything just becames some sort of a joke, the name is such huge contrast with what they are trying to do.

is there a date for the trailer? or we have to wait to E3?

don't forget the Shingetsutan Tsukihime anime (haven't seen it yet, have to finish Soukyuu no Fanfer first >_>)

KDR_11k · « **Reply #32 on:** May 04, 2006, 08:53:26 PM »

Yes but the anime was made later. The game is the original source material.

How?

I understand it might be strange to read, because its so new...But, to say its a contrast?

Would you rather that developers avoid the system because of its comical name? Then people would complain that its only a "children's" console.

If the developers don't mind it (I haven't heard of anyone cancelling a planned game because of the name change, have you?) we shouldn't mind it.

Seriously, who am I to tell you to like it? I will say this, though, NiBris are apparently accepting of the name because they've played the system. That's promising..

mantidor · « **Reply #36 on:** May 05, 2006, 05:11:00 PM »

The trailer is also showing people playing the game. I really would prefer if it wasnt like that, its kind of corny, but I understand the need to show the remote functionality, and at least here is a decent model, what the hell were ubisoft thinking when they released that Rayman screenshot with the dumb kids? jesus...

mantidor · « **Reply #37 on:** May 11, 2006, 12:24:27 PM »

so the trailer is up!, It looks promising, but sadly (pun not intended) not gameplay footage.

Ummm...that they were marketing it towards dumb kids? and....Jesus?

Oh! Someone asked about CPU's in the 80's. It wasnt really so much PC's back then, it was Apples. Back then, Apple was a computer, not a "PC" per say. Not like the way we have them now. This is from a consumer perspective, of course. Apple was the first company to have a real computer available for the masses.

An upgraded sequel before the release of the original? nice.

Looks kinda like they skipped depression and went straight to Suicide though.
