Sadness is a horror game made for the Wii. The game plays in black and white and the style goes towards photorealism which is to increase the realism of the game atmosphere.
8CN: Games get canceled all the time, but rarely do we ever hear very much about them. Usually, they're canned well before the public is aware of their existence, with the studios quietly pushing the project under the rug (or recycling the work into new games entirely). These games however, failed pretty spectacularly.
Prey 2 sure looked interesting. The first one gave me motion sickness with the sudden inversions.
The first one's concept sounds amazing! I hope they, or someone gets back to it. The outlook should be different now with the new gen consoles...
CCC Says: "Sadness has been resurrected. Remember it? You're forgiven if you don't. It was originally Wii Vaporware. NIBRIS was going to make it for the Wii way, way back when the console was first announced in 2006, but it didn't happen. Instead, it officially drifted away into ephemeral vaporware in 2010. It came back to our attention on May 20, 2014, when HullBreach and Cthulhi said they wanted to revive the Sadness IP as a 2D RPG with puzzle elements in a NintendoLife interview. Except a day later, on May 21, it was revealed that there are four studios trying to call dibs on Sadness and that HullBreach and Cthulhi don't have the rights or access to the concept."
The Sadness IP is in the hands of a consortium with 4 studios currently fighting for the bid, and that while we at HullBreach and Cthulhi would like to make a competing bid and secure rights to Sadness, unfortunately we cannot at this time. Sorry to fans for any inconvenience.
So 4 studios out of nowhere are now fighting over this game that has never gotten attention, nor any info? It just seems like they came to claim it from the hype the internet had because people heard it's returning. Maybe because of these four studios fighting over the game, maybe eventually someone will actually make the dang thing.
Thank the heavens I got rid of my Wii, its getting soo hard for developers they can only make games in Black and White now? LMFAO!!
This game looks like it may be quite good, I like the fact that they are trying something different, but being all in Black & White, reminds of the PS1 days when I was trying to play US/Jap games without a SCART cable and it came out Black & White.
photo realism on the wii!
this game has been in developement for a LONG time.. from what i recall the original team dropped it and it was picked up by a new team..
i think its going for the HORROR genre so it will be dark anyhow.. not like there is a lot of colour there anyways.. but looks good.. i'm glad people try new things.. i don't think i played a game in black and white b4.. i mean its different if the game was made in colour and cause of some errors shows up black and white but if its made to be black and white i think it can look pretty damn good..
we'll see when the final version comes out..
you guys are seriously talking bad of a game becuase it's in black and white?... you've reached a new low guys really it's just sad...ness?
So when one wants to add a hint of suspence or a lack of help you can go into black and white to get a more realistic feeling of dread. When is bright and shiny scary?
This game DOES look like it'll be a fun horror survival game. Hope to hear more on it as well
