Get ready for Nibris' black-and-white exclusive for the Revolution.

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.

In before Ian rants about how there's automatically no substance to this game because of the visual style...

Aw, come on, Bill. You know Ian's gonna be happy; this is another game announced for the Revolution.

He already did the rant Bill was talking about in another thread.

A few days ago I was looking at some old photographs and thinking how cool a black and white game could be, if done right. Without realizing it I was thinking about a game very similar to what we know about Sadness right now. Needless to say I'm excited

Can I be happy that the Rev has another game annouced while at the same time suspecting that the developer's emphasis on the style suggets weak gameplay?

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...

year at LEAST? I was thinking six to eight months....

"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.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #11 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...

vudu · « **Reply #12 on:** April 12, 2006, 10:30:27 AM »

Ooohhh...I thought you meant Revolution launch wouldn't be for another year at LEAST. My bad.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #13 on:** April 12, 2006, 10:37:17 AM »

Wow. I can decide what is funnier. Everyone able to slam Ian about rants and opinions before they happen...or the fact that Ian then actually does said rants after the fact.

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.

"Can I be happy that the Rev has another game annouced while at the same time suspecting that the developer's emphasis on the style suggets weak gameplay?"

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 think you're all jumping WAAAAY too far ahead in the game.

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?"

The website says this game is slated for a 2007 release. I bet we won't even see it at E3. If its there, not playable. I give it a year or more for release.

raid over river and sadness
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

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #18 on:** April 12, 2006, 11:54:07 AM »

I thought Raid over the River was now a DS game. Is it being created for both? I would rather it for one or the other...I hate when developers try to shrink an idea into a portable...or try to build an idea perfect for portable up into a console game. Both seem to always have poor results.

Nephilim · « **Reply #19 on:** April 12, 2006, 12:02:44 PM »

Ign have still have it as rev, dated march 8th
didnt know it was changed to ds?

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.

They have both a DS and Rev version in the works...
