First black & white game!
Exclusive Nintendo Revolution title Sadness will be fully.. black and white!
Cracow, 11.04.2006
Nibris decided to follow Nintendo's path, which definately fights the stagnation which has occured in video games, and creates new trends "With thise move, we want to create a unique environment, which is only available in Sadness," Says Lukasz "CassSept" Oskard, a Nibris employee. "But Nibris are not following the trend created though Sin City, but rather a game which is set pre-World War." More information on Sadness will be available soon.

It is cool that info on Rev games is starting to come out on regular basis. But I'm not going to rush to pre-order a game just because it's in black and white and has a unique style when I don't really have any info on how the game plays.

Uhhh, does ANYONE preorder a game that's just been announced? The game won't be out for another year at LEAST...

I was exagerating. Some people hear about a game and immediately are all "I'm totally going to buy that". Now they still may never buy it but the initial "ohmygodthisissoawesomebestgameever!" reaction is there. Especially for the first few titles shown for a new console.
Post by: Bill Aurion on April 12, 2006, 10:12:53 AM
This is an up-and-coming dev, PLUS they are putting out another game first (if they can get it published)...I think "a year, at least" is pretty generous...

It is like he is our very own Planetgamecube Forum stereotype.
"That just Ian."
"Oh, Don't be an Ian."
"You just Ian posted."
I can see those sayings now.

I'd say that's an unfair statement. I'd be more concerned that it's a new developer than anything else, but who knows what they're capable of? Some of the best games of this generation were oozing with style, and a unique presentation is almost always indicative of an interesting (often great) game. People who are dedicated to making great games generally put the effort into making them look and feel equally good. Look at virtually any Nintendo title, the games are both fun and aesthetically appealing.
Some games have style but lack gameplay, like Eternal Darkness. Some might argue Killer 7. But I loved both of those games (especially Killer 7) anyway, even if the gameplay wasn't spectacular. The style and story was interesting enough to get me through the game, and left me with a feeling of satisfaction afterward.
Sadness has great potential, and it's fair to get excited about it. No reason to crush our dreams just yet, Ian.

I mean, excuse me but... do these guys even have a DEV KIT?
I mean, sure they have a GC one but do they have a Rev Dev kit at all? I was under the impression that they didn't, and that's why I'm flabbergasted by this announcement. I'm like... "WHUZZAH?"

2 games coming to rev from one small dev, very nice
but only a few days ago they said they didnt have a rev dev kit, so they both must be very early and could be out way late into 2007

New Raid Over the River info
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006
Raid Over the River (working title)
Category – Shooter
Platform – DS
Release Date – 2006
A game is arriving which will not only change the way you look at action
games, but games in general.
In few productions which differ from one another, based on similar types of plot, our project is distinguished above all by the innovative scenario. From […]
I guess it was easier for them to get a DS dev. kit and begin working on it.

Hey now, I thought ED had tremendous gameplay and style
, it was very engaging, keeping me within its grasp from beginning to end. That is saying alot considering I beat few games now days, it takes a good game (both style and gameplay) to keep me hooked.

I think thats very narrow minded of you to say that, the game is supposed to take place pre- world war 1 and they said that they are focusing on atmosphere and mood rather than going rambo and mowing down everything in sight. Also the smallest dev houses sometimes has the best ideas and this one sounds very interesting. I personally think that graphics are losing their luster since graphics do not really make or break the game, its the game mechanics and gameplay that decide that factor. Sure graphics can make some games stylish like cellshading did make some games really stylish and maybe this monochromatic style can make this game really fresh and stylish.
Also on IGN it was said that one of their inspirations to Sadness is Sin City so I wonder how this pans out.

"The Revoltion is so week it can't even output culor graphix! LOL AMIRITE?!"
But really, do we know anything about this game other then the fact it will be black and white? I hope they steal from Sin City/ Wind Waker and have either the main character in color (Like Link when he first visited the underwater castle of Hyrule) or certain objects in color. All black and white... can be cool when done right in films, but seems like it could get boring in video games.

Well, first of all Clooney won for Syriana (he wasn't nominated for his performance in GNAGL, just writing and directing).
Second, there is no need to argue whether or not black and white movies are good or bad. There is simply no basis for saying they're bad, so it's not worth humouring someone who feels that. Best to ignore stupidity.
As for a black and white video game...it's never been done. But I think if some movies play best in B&W (and some definitely do, see the Coen brother's Man Who Wasn't There, Schindler's List, aforementioned Sin City), then perhaps a game can too. With good gameplay it'll be a good game, and hey, the B&W may add something!

Last I heard about it was that your some crazy lunatic that's pretty depressed/pissed off and that you can't go to sleep.
If it is a survival horror game, black and white would be perfect. Although, I would like a few hints of blue and green every now and then (like walking through a moonlit field).
