PS3 exclusive Redwood Falls on hold

PSU has learned that Redwood Falls – a PlayStation 3 exclusive zombie shooter from Kuju Entertainment – has officially been put on hold.

thereapersson5610d ago

I wonder if this could be because it utilizes the Unreal Engine?

Either way I've never heard of this game before. It's a shame though, because the concept sounds interesting enough to warrant a look.

thor5610d ago

There are a lot of games that have been shown in trailer form a while ago, that we simply haven't had ANY info about since, and then they either get cancelled or just wither away without a word. I had heard of this game, it was even put on a couple of people's 2008/2009 game lists.

What a Shame to see a wonderful ideas goes down just like 8 Days

Godmars2905610d ago

Isn't Coded Arms another Unreal Engine based game?

Amazing/sad that there are still launch window era games that are still out there.

bbelly9320_5610d ago

I've never heard of this title before, so no big loss.

That's the dumbest logic I've heard all week. Congratulations.

Yeah, most of you guys will have never heard of this title. It was one of those secret side projects that didn't make it. Kinda like Endless Saga, City of Metronome, Eyedentify, Coded Arms, and others.

thereapersson5610d ago

That sucks about Coded Arms: Assault...

I wanted to see it on the PS3 after playing it on my PSP. :(

Jpinter5610d ago

Yeah, it's kinda dumb they canceled it. There are a lot of projects that have been canceled that I would have loved to see on the PS3. oh well...

I remember thinking that it was the best-looking version of all, and thought that the developers could really make the virtual world more believable in High Definition. I guess it's all memories dedicated to what could have been...

:(

Edit:

here's another trailer:

solidt125610d ago

I really like the concept of coded arms. I was going to buy that on the PS3, too bad. It was all Matrixy

proArchy5610d ago

City of Metronome makes me sad. I emailed Tarsier a while back to ask if it was still active and I got back a reply that was so vague that it could have meant anything. Mostly they just stated that they had a PSN title that was taking the majority of their attention, which ended up being Rag Doll Kung-Fu. Hopefully when that ships they'll refocus on Metronome.
This Redwood Falls game, like many others, was out of my radar range apparently. The destructible characters looks cools though. Let's hope that tech lives on in other games.

yeah that ruled and i cant belive the getaway has been cancelled aswell!! :(

hay5610d ago

Oh noes, is it the fall of PS3?! /sarcasm

But seriously, looks really... gorey... I am intrigued. But honestly, shooting off parts of skin and organs isn't simple task to achieve, maybe they were trying to do more than they could handle. It sucks. Could've been some gaming evolution.

Chrissy5610d ago

Another canceled ps3 games. Perfect way to end the YEAR OF THE PS3!!!! Flawless sony, just flawless. Kudos

DNAgent5610d ago

It was put on hold, not canceled. My guess is because the Unreal Engine 3 is garbage and they decided to make their own engine so that they can try to make it look as good as Killzone 2 rather than making it look as bland as Gears of Brown 2.

OmarJA5610d ago

Chrissy...

let me ask u a question, why M$ are shutting down Ensemble Studios ? aren't they making great games ? aren't they a 1st party developers ?

ultimolu5610d ago

Read the article dumbass.
It's on hold, not canceled.

I don't see why would you care in the first place, since you've made it your unholy mission to insult the PS3 and Sony at every turn.

twoface5610d ago

Yeah Chrissy mama go! Another little victory against the ps3 in your scrapbook

snoopgg5610d ago

microsofts ass! We don't need games with the unreal engine, when we have Killzone 2 on the way!!!

3 Innovations We Actually Want From ‘The Next Gen’

AlienLion:
"New consoles used to be easy: more polygons, more bits, stereo-er sound, what have you. Most of us had no idea what the fuck those terms even meant (I still don’t), but they made the technological progress somewhat quantifiable. We knew that the audio and the video were to get better, and we also knew that 16 bits was exactly twice as awesome as 8 bits."

Seriously, is that even necessary, let alone professional to speak that way in an article?

Unbelievable that something like that gets posted here.
You say (whoever you are, cause you don't have the balls or professionalism to give a real name)that "I want a new type of intellectual enjoyment from a new type of video game." Yet you can't even write an intellectual article. Your just trying to sound tough to hide tha fact that you lack education and are unable to do your job as an entry level journalist.

I bet I could tap you the $%#@ out!

get some respect.

I quoted your post here just so everyone else gets a chuckle, in case you delete it.

For your info, I frequent alienlion and submit their articles on n4g all the time because they encouraged me to write. The guys help aspiring writers to put good articles together and they post them on their site and award them free games and they dont even post ads on the site. If you bothered to check it out, you wouldn't have made such a fool of yourself right now. You'd also know that it's as much a comedy site as a gaming site hence the language. And you threatening to "tap out" someone is just hilarious. Gotta love internet tough guys. The only one who should get some respect is you.

Oh and there is no name because some authors request to have their work posted as part of the site (for professional purposes). And before you ask no, i did not write this article but lets see you do better mr intellectual.

Tapioca Cold4006d ago (Edited 4006d ago )

look pal, if you like that site then fine, but it still doesn't make it professional nor does it give it credit. I'm not allowed to be offended because this site gives out free games and 'helps' aspiring writers (just because you say so)? You can't see how this detracts from the industry? If that site is giving you inspiration for your little kiddie rewards then go there and learn from them. post your work anonymously, it just shows you don't have the spine to back up what you say. Just another person on the internet passing shit as 'real' work. (BTW - I'm in a forum where I'm allowed to be anonynous)

Seriously, the guy/girl is swearing in an article and you're coming to their aid. Shows what kind of knowledge and skills you have. Ambiguity, poor humour, and swearing is just a mask for a lack of talent or lack of something else.

if you get kiddie rewards for posting on the site, let me ask you this: Would people post there if there were no little free games?

Credible sites reward their journalists with paychecks.

maximaz4006d ago

Look bro, Im coming to their aid because they encourage people to express their opinions/creativity and award free games as incentives for doing it in a structured and entertaining way. thats more than you do ragging on the work of another dude/girl just like you who put themselves out there.

also encouraging gamers to voice their opinions in a somewhat official manner detracts from the industry? you are a very confused bro if you think so.

Oh and head over to gamejournalismjobs (which is how i found the site in the first place) and see how many sites give out paychecks or ANYthing. kiddie rewards? actual gamers consider free games good rewards.

and if its the swearing that is bothering you then you must not visit a lot of awesome sites like cracked or ebc. again bro, the site is about encouraging fun writing. my god you are literally the most ridiculous person ive seen on n4g and ive seen lots.

h man, this is totally my type of humor, this guy is funny as sht, you need to lighten up.

Agreed. House marathon is on. Everything's awesome.

#3 A Fresh Perspective (Different Camera angles)

#2 New Genres

#1 Physical Interactions (Realistic movement and reactions. Like RAGE engine but more advanced)

Kind of dumb entries when you offer extremely poor examples of your own. "Hey game developers! New camera angles!.. Ok, GO!"

colonel1794006d ago

Bettery physics and getting rid of ragdoll physics. When you kill someone it needs to have a weight. I hated this specially in Dead Space when I had to stomp dead aliens and the whole body moved like...... a ragdoll. Really that needs to change and be a little more realistic.

Boysangur4006d ago

Dude, what about Gears? You step on a 300 pound dead body and it starts breakdancing up and down the street.

Reedwood Falls looked amazing. I wish it was still in development.
