Remember that Wii game called 'Sadness'?

If you didn't you should get out of this thread.

I'm serious. **** off, grasshopper.

Well, some of us might recognize this.

This was supposed to be released on Wii, but it never happened.

BUT

We very recently have contacted the old developers to obtain rights to the what little IP actually existed and their blessing. Should they work against us we are prepared to change the title of the game and drop any usage of their IP, this however will not slow us down in the least since most of their ideas were just ideas.

Sadness had us intrigued since it began years ago, and we decided recently that we didn't want to let it die off completely. We would have acted sooner if we were capable back then, but as you know the consoles weren't as open to indies as they are now.

So, even if they don't get the rights, they'll still create something similar.

I remember being very interested in Sadness, but it never came to be which made me sa.. No, I won't do that.

Thoughts, those-that-still-knew-about-this?

Source and all that.

I'll believe it when I see it. Sadness has been talked about since the early years of Wii, yet the devs had nothing to show for it aside from a few pieces of concept art. Vaporware, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't remember that Wii game called Sadness and I didn't get out of this thread. So edgy.

Don't worry, friend. Reading your post in Otto's voice made me want to forgive you for that little transgression.

Was the prequel to Rain?

No. At least, not that I know. And I'm an infamous, twitter-using insider with dozens of followers.

I think I have 9 followers. You win. LOL.

That fake project is still alive? I remember back with the release of the Wii a small group of developers came out of nowhere announcing this on the TheWiire webpage. I thought it was a good concept, until I learned about the dev team being just a bunch of garage developers with no money to make games. Although Kickstarter has helped garage makers start their careers now. So maybe this will finally be made?

Actually, it's two other studios that are trying to get the rights for this game from those developers. If they are unable to do that, they will make something similar from scratch.

Yeah, I read the article. That's very stubborn of them to not give them the rights, because that game had great ideas and those two developers would have like to share some of those profits with them and then make them legit developers. I really am interested in this though.

True, true. It's crazy how this game got dug up again, but I'm not complaining. I wish them well.

Up next is Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

Isn't that what Wii owners felt when they realized they bought the system and got crappy graphics and online, and third party support?

Itll still be out before The Last Guardian.

Oh, yeah, I remember that game! It just kind of faded into oblivion.

I remember reading about it in Gameinformer a long time ago. Game looked pretty neat. Here's hoping that it actually gets made because IIRC it had some pretty cool ideas going on.

Never heard of it...But the video on your link was cool.

I was hoping for this year's ago. Looked creepy

I thought that was every game on the Wii! *bada bosh* thank you, i'm here all week!

I was sad to see it cancelled.

Me and Desmonic kinda beat you to it. :P

But most of us are all happy to see you anyway.

Yea well ... well... dammit I got nothing. >:(

@wolverine4262: nice burn.

Yeah that game has been vaporware for a while now but I'd be interested if something were to happen with the IP.

I remember this and that other game, Project H.A.M.M.E.R., never saw the light of day, I was interested in both.

that looked pretty good. its a shame they didn't release it for the wii, but also good that they're having another crack at it this generation.
