Sadness Is "Real"

Remember Nibris' Sadness, the survival horror title for Wii that sounded so awesome and then disappeared with nary a trace after teasing us all with little more than concept art? Developer Frontline Studios ditched the publisher, and the last we heard was a promise from the Polish studio to keep at it.

Well, now The Wiicast has gotten on the phone with Adam Spencer of Nibris partner Fog Studios to mess with our heads some more, saying that things are still underway:

Obviously there’s only so much I can say. I can tell you for sure that the project is real, they’re actively developing it. There’s no publisher for the game yet and as such it’s impossible for us to say when the game is going to be released. Basically, that’s the official statement.

Spencer says he's even seen the game in action, but they haven't found a "fit" yet in a publisher.

Earlier this year, an in-game image from Duke Nukem Forever popped up on a Gamasutra job ad. Months later, there is another apparent real time image of an enemy model. According to Duke Nukem creator George Broussard: More »

Duke Nukem Forever "An Industry Joke"

It's easy to take potshots at the long in development Duke Nukem Forever. But when 3D Realms' Scott Miller is actually humble and acknowledges that we're really start to not give a shit about DNF and that we're mostly enjoying it not actually shipping every year. More »

New, Single, Mini Duke Nukem Forever Screen

That's the latest media out of the 3D Realms camp, found on a job posting for a programmer at the Gamasutra Jobs site by Shacknews. Even more impressive than proof that the game still exists in some form other than a shoebox full of Zip disks, is confirmation from 3D Realms own George Broussard that the tiny pic is an "in game shot."

The Exodus of 3D Realms

CNET Has No Idea What "Vaporware" Means

CNET has a bizarre little slideshow of the top-eleven vaporware titles, with the mysterious inclusion of those who are no longer vaporware (Prey is #3). I think someone is confused about the definition of "vaporware", despite the literal definition being pasted above the article itself. More »

Twilight Princess: Vaporware?

According to Wired Nintendo's Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess made the list at number 6, just ahead of Valve's Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms. The latter of which has been AWOL since 1999. Those aren't the only two video games on the list, however. At number five is Blizzard's Starcraft: Ghost, a game I know exists, because I fiddled with it at last summer's E3. It wouldn't be vaporware if not for the last two entries from the video game world: Infinium's Phantom at number two and of course, Duke Nukem Forever. More »

Duke Nukem Forever Date Bumped Back (No Surprises)

Yeah, right. Amazon lists its release date as April 21, 2006 (UK only, sorry America) — so it must be true, right? Is this vaporware product finally coming out? Doubt it, but I still laughed when I saw the link. Hey, remember in October when it looked like this was going to ship in December? Giggle. More »
