Topic: Winter for Wii, survival horror that may never see the light of day

[Stogi]

So IGN has started a petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/wiinter/petition.html

Sign it if you'd like.

[WuTangTurtle]

already almost 5,000 signatures.  That's pretty impressive especially since it just barely went up.  Then again petitions don't work on this kinda stuff......hope i have to eat my own words here though.

Checked out the interview at IGN and enjoyed this choice quote:

Publishers still say to us on a regular basis, "we're still trying to figure out the Wii." It's been over two years since the launch and over three since n-Space first put our hands on prototype controllers. It's kind of ironic really -- you've got this console built on innovation, a console written off by many from day one, that now totally dominates the market, and yet many publishers still hesitate to follow suit with innovative games in all genres.

Another one that made me say WTF BBQ?

Some publishers did suggest tying another license to the concept. This wasn't something we were opposed to, but it didn't get a deal signed either. Ultimately, it was a combination of factors that kept us from finding a home for Winter, most related to publishers having to go out of their comfort zone.

The interview is a few days old but hereit is.

Didn't it work with Conduit?

[Chozo Ghost]

Everyone sign that petition. Even if it doesn't work out, you've only lost 10 seconds of your life by signing it.

[BeautifulShy]

I went and signed it.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I signed!

[EasyCure]

Easycure eats bacteria-consumed bread, confirmed.

When the hell was that confirmed?

Petition is signed, since I'm not doing much at work anyway.

[Spak-Spang]

I have already signed.  I don't like survival horror games, but I like the concept of the game...specially the idea of potentially dying from the cold so you have to worry about keeping the body warm.

Besides, just because I don't like the type of game it is...doesn't mean I should not support the games existence.

You, sir, are a good gamer.

I wish i had some magical way of knowing who everyone is that signed, and if the game does get developed find out how many of them actually bought the game even if it ended up getting like a 7.5 in review scores

[Peachylala]

At the moment of my signing, there are now 7068 signatures.

Thanks but double-fix.

[Kairon]

God that petition has so many grammatical and spelling mistakes it's painful to read.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Which part of the reason why it's going nowhere.

I think the bigger influence is seeing the Winter story popping up on front pages of many "press" sites.
