Good job High Voltage. Reminds me of Retro Studios when they first unveiled Metroid Prime.

Have they found a publisher yet?
July 28th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Man I’m happy for these guys! Still looking forward to this game! Until then I got more work and PC FPSs! GPU price fell again!

OK, NOW I’m hyped.

If only Nintendo would see this as a cold hard slap in the face, not a desperate attempt to keep the core alive.
July 28th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
@DmNt chill they are working on stuff. I think they still realize the core will always pay more and buy more for games. I’d rather be playing this game right now than be hyped though. Just a little more time. Actually they may be able to put a little support in there for the motion plus which I hope happens.

S T I L L no publisher.
Bad news.
Oh and they won 4 “best award”s, not 6. Honourable Mention and top 20 are not BEST awards, actually.
Looks to be a cool game, coming in 2009 IF they can get a publisher that is.
I look forward to this game and hope it gets released eventually.

They probably haven’t decided on a publisher yet because they know if they keep on building hype themselves they get a better deal out of it. That way they won’t get lowballed and ultimately screwed out of a lot of money. It’s a really smart move on their part.

I’m guessing that Nintendo will publish this game. It probably has something to do with a studio as small as them getting their hands on voice chat so early.
I sure hope Nintendo publishes it, at least. Being considered a Nintendo game alone should guarantee them at least 500,000 in sales…plus Nintendo actually pushes their games.

i also hope that nintendo publishes their game. Nintendo takes good care of their developers, they should want to keep such a developer exclusive, and nintendo is known for giving alot of leeway to its second party developers on new IP, but being very forthcoming on tech help and advice.

maybe high voltage will become to nintendo what rare used to be. wishful thinking, but this still looks pretty great.

I actually hope Nintendo DOESNT publish this game.. they are not a good fit for it. This game needs some really aggressive marketing and we all know how Nintendo publicizes their games (or DOESNT)
Wow, I capitalized DOESNT two.. err three times
I’m thinking either Take Two or EA is going to jump on this opportunity, EA might be a good fit. They are really starting to innovate.

An “Honerable Mention” is not an award.
July 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Well done but an award from IGN means very little (so I’ll take back that well done). The game still looks like a PSP title but it’s good to see them putting in the effort, it’s encouraging.

I cant wait for this game! Conduit, mad world, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed are my 3 most anticipated games for the upcoming months.
