Wii is the place to be for next gen horror!

Well it sounds interesting I need some more info before I decide on it.

Sounds like it wants to be Eternal Darkness, on a mountain.

I'll take it!

I wonder if this will be more Conduit or more Sadness?
EDIT: added some concept art to the first post. "At the base of the mountain you will find a rare blue flower. Take it to the top of the mountain and you will find what you’re looking for."

Looks interesting, it is kind of funny that Wii is turning into the survival horror system!

Not that I mind, I love survival horror.

How is the Wii turning into the survival horror system? The only game of the genre released thus far was Alone in the Dark, and I hear it's none too good. Outside of that, there are a few announced titles, such as Resident Evil 0: Wii Edition, Fatal Frame, and now this. I won't count Resident Evil 4 in that, as it's simply an action game. As much as I enjoy the genre, it doesn't seem to be very prevalent anywhere, and certainly not on the Wii... unless of course I've overlooked some titles, which is entirely possible.

Edit: I did just remembered Obscure: Aftermath. Multplayer co-op in a survival horror game does sound interesting...

Wii IS THE Survival Horror system this gen.

You can't exclude RE4, cuz surivival horror games are really just poor action games with horror things and brown graphics, and RE4 happens to excel in certain aspects.

Obscure: The Aftermath is definitely survival horror; played it entirely in co-op (can't imagine someone finishing the game in singles without a cheat device to compensate for horrible mechanics). It was a fun pass-the-time co-op title, only in the sense that you're both surviving a horrible game. It's the most annoyingly surprising game i've played this cycle, as there were 2 occasions I thought we'd beaten the game, but wasn't so.

It admirably tries to borrow gameplay from old RE, RE4, and Eternal Darkness, and fails.

Wii is the survival horror console! It doesn't even have Resident Evil 5 but that's okay!

Anyway the proposed controls sounds like waggle city which is a supremo turn off for me. In fact the whole article has this vague ambition to it that 9 times out of 10 doesn't amount to anything. Often the game either is never made or lacks so much of what the developer promised that it's a letdown. Still worth keeping an eye on though. If it actually results in something real I'll check out impressions and reviews of it.

Do you even have RE4?

No it's not. That'll never be okay.

Now we just need Silent Hill Wii.

I want that too. Damn it

If Nibris has taught me anything, it's that we should wait until we see some videos and not believe devs who only show off concept art.

Have you seen the latest trailers to Resident Evil 5? The game looks like Gears of War set in Africa now. I mean hell, Chris doesn't even need to use a gun anymore, he can just rip the zombies heads of with his bare hands.

Of course I'm sure it'll still be a great game, but it looks like Capcom has thrown survival horror out the window in favor of turning the series into an all out Action game.

That's a pretty apt analogy, sadly enough... =/

The concept is really interesting, so hopefully this pans out like The Conduit...

By Conduit i'm assuming you mean has a devoted team behind it that wants to polish the game to as close as perfect as possible and show that "hardcore" games do have a place on Wii's roster, correct?

And by Sadness you mean... you think it'll turn out to be vaporware?

lets all hope it'll turn out like the Conduit

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:06:16 PM »

I found some more info on what the engine can do.
Information on Athena engine
It is nice to see developers following HVS lead.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:27:30 PM »

The problem is they came out to hype up their game without showing any concrete in-development materials.

HVS at least had an engine demo and some screens to show-off. Cursed Mount won't be at a stage to garner real interest yet until they have a product to show. For now they're basically talking-up the next Die Hard: Vendetta or Hybrid Heaven.

Look at MadWorld -- BAM -- they came out swingin' with a trailer to show off which triggered reports and impressions to share.

EasyCure · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:31:39 PM »

that reminds me. Where the hell is Sadness?

at least any indication of whether its still "in the works"

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #21 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:53:36 PM »

EasyCure I heard that Nibris is going to be at Leipzig. As well as Deep Silver. Is Leipzig this month?
Pro I agree that that should be the way it should be done. Great job on reaching 10,000 posts.

Bug Island? Maybe I missed something, but I didn't realize it fit into the survival horror genre at all.

It is. Now it may not be a good survival horror game but it still is one.

Just one example of it being referenced as one.
