Didn’t they release a load of shots that were just Photoshopped versions of stuff that was on DeviantArt?

Seems weird that Emergent would issue a press release about this - surely they can’t be in on the joke?

And made on the Oblivion engine? On the Wii?

Madness.

If this game ever comes out I’ll be amazed. It’s reeked of vapourware since the moment “Nibris” made their fanboy-friendly empty PR speeches bigging up the Nintendo platforms. For more LOLs you should see the 5 second ‘tech video’ of their DS Shooter - another project that also has the whiff of tuna about it.

If nothing else, Nibris have shown how easy it is to curry favour amongst the gaming community. Say the right things about the right console and simpletons praise you.

The whole justification of “black and white - so brave! only the Wii allows this sort of creative freedom!!!11″ is purest Internet bollocks.

It might be an umbrella filled with bats, or something?

Their previous press releases talked about stuff like ‘opening umbrellas’ and stuff as things you might do. Which sounds terrifying, frankly.

You’ve got to raise an eyebrow when the only thing a press release tells you about a game is that you’ll use the controllers to simulate your hands. I’m thinking… lifting. Waving. Turning. Punching. Picking your nose. That kind of thing.

Fatal Frame 4. That’s the Wii ghostie game you’re looking for.

What indications?

There’s something very un-frightening about “waggling”.

And it’s black and white. Don’t forget that. Arty, like. Despite all indications being that it’s going to be a mini-game shake-a-thon.

Is the anticipation for it purely based on the fact it’s on Wii and it isn’t a “standard” game?

Well, that’s a bit rubbish.

Still no publisher then

I was actually fairly interested in this when they first announced it, but it’s become very apparent since then that it’s a complete comedy of a game that’ll probably never actually get released.

I saw that shot knocking around weeks ago on a forum. Just goes to show.

Aha! That’ll be the patented “move the levers back and forth in a rhythm in order to move a mine cart” mini-game, then! Spoooooooooooooky!
