Sadness (Revolution)

Sadness is a Revolution title being developed by NIBRIS. It is going to be a "gothic" horror.

“All I can say now is that it [Sadness] is going to be a gothic horror which will scare not with the amount of blood but sheer atmosphere. Imagine a game in which you do not use guns or knives but you will have to protect yourself with the objects you find exploring the ground – a stone, a stick, etc.”

“Some examples of using the controller – you swing a torch with it to scare the rats off, you slit the throat (controller as a piece of glass of a knife); if you want to climb the wall you will have to hook a rope over the piece of a wall sticking out (controller serving as a lasso). And this is only the beginning. The game will be for single player and single player only. For an adult player with strong nerves. Let me mention that the scenario will have associations with narcolepsy, nyctophobia and paranoid schizophrenia. The scenario will surprise you.”

All I can say is, Nintendo is going to bust out of the "kiddie" mold with the Revolution.

I will DEFINITELY get this game. Even if it doesn't live up to hype, it will STILL be fun. It'd probably be as if Shadowgate and Manhunt had an intimate love child.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Throat-slitting sounds fun, but it will catch so much flak from cunts like Jack Thompson that it will most likely be removed in the end. Regardless, I am pumped, even if it is just an ad.

I doubt it will be removed in the end.

If Nintendo is getting third party support to the extreme like this, then yes, the Revolution will at least finish second and may even prove to at least touch ground with Sony at the end of this cycle.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But I think this game represents developers' opinions to Nintendo. Is it a good thing? Yah. The only problem with Nintendo's Gamecube were fanboys buying Nintendo only games (which pretty much pissed off third-parties). If this thread is any indication of Nintendo fans accepting third party games then yes, Sony'll have trouble. They seem to have trouble with PS3 atm.

If done right, I'm sure this would overthrow Silent Hill's reign in the gothic horror genre.

Especially if you're using shards of glass and other shit to kill creatures.

Narcolepsy... schizophrenia.... COUNT ME IN.


And, I think you're right. Sony MAY actually have trouble this time around.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

...anyone still think the revo controler's a bad idea?

I am no mystery-person. Besides, if you don't trust me, you have a computer, the internet, and Google obviously. I'm not here to prove anything to anyone.

So is the end of time, my friend. But people discuss that.

Either add to the conversation or leave.

This is why i hate hearing about games before screens and the whatnot.

Well, to be honest, that's going to happen with me too. Either way, the game will at the very least be OKAY. I don't know what is going on with NIBRIS but apparently April is when they're releasing a video (IIRC) and other media for Sadness. So, it's not THAT far away. I think mainly they're still just shopping/browsing for a publisher.

I was speaking idiomatically.

New Details

Something about the storyline apparently...

“...In my head there is a voice, different from the others. Whenever it answers it overwhelms the remaining voices, it mixes up thoughts and destroys peace. It tells me that I'm only mixed up in a thought which yearns to prove its own existence. The voice which whispers that I'm not really who I am and the perceived reality is only an abstraction created by my own mind. It is the original voice, which wants to free itself from my head, to free itself from the logic and reason it is being stifled by. The voice of animal endurance at all costs, which forces onto unimaginable things. It is the voice of chaos which is now screaming frightfully in my head for me to take an axe resting against the wall and cut off my father's head.”

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And, I've never heard of NIBRIS before. Why, I don't know. I can't remember hearing that name, ever..

Apparently they're a new company, relatively small, and located in Polackiland. I never heard of them before Raid over the River or Sadness.
