Sadness uses same engine as Oblivion? :O :O

No but really, they showcased working units. They had people working on games for it, just because a product never see the day of release. Do you really think the people who invested never saw anything at all? They just saw people sitting in an office throwing paperballs between each other?E-phonk said:
Because that was what you claimed, that the people who invested never saw the phantom. They even had that thing at the nVidia booth.
Wanna bet?Kipz said:
The point is that he claimed that investors never saw the phantom. They did and the world did, now that they never released it or was scamming people is not relevant to this discussion.E-phonk said:In that case, nobody on GAF denies that Sadness is just as real as the Phantom ever was, and this discussion is pointless anyway.
I SEE SADNESS

How many millions did investors give Infinium?
again, Infinium.
now you just don't know what you're talking about. Infinium's "headquarters" turned out to be an empty room in a stripmall. talk about clutching at straws.
...
Words fail me.

No wonder you were suckered by Nibris. :lol
Gizmondo was still a real product with games etc, it was poorly run. Its not a fraud in my eyes. Secondly the issue is not wheter the Phantom was or was not a scam/fraud/anything, its wheter the investors saw any progress during the time infinium got money. The answer to that question is YES they did.Zenith said:

And we're seeing progress with Sadness as well. Going from homemade black and white camera footage to concept art ripped straight from deviantart (and it was revealed as fanart for a different game, no less!), to a 3D maya mock-up with some photoshop filters thrown on it for good measure.rezuth said:
And now the press release that they've been working with a (real!!) licensed engine for a few months. But still not a single proper screenshot to show for it. Nice.
This baby screams vapourware.
Both of those cases are known cases of investor fraud. If you don't see this, then it's really not worth discussing the issue, and you might as well believe Nintendo will make Nibris a first-party studio. They exist, after all.rezuth said:
It's possible that one day one of their games will get released, or be shown in a somewhat releasable form. After all, we have ninja-bread man, escape from bug island and whatnot. But it will be crappy at best, and non-existing if we're lucky.rezuth said:
Because if they aren't already a fraud:rezuth said:
they release fake art
make numeral false claims
lack any kind of modesty/achievability in their goals
seem to be unable to comprehend how releasing a commercial products goes
surround themselves with low budget game companies to release their products (frontline studios), and even those seem to leave them faster then it was announced
They seem to be highly incompetent and unprofessional in just about everything they do, and if the fanboyfactor and forum/bloghype wouldn't be so high because of their false promises, nobody would ever notice them.
IF they are able to get enough capable programmers and artists together to release something that is playable and passing Nintendo's QC (doesn't seem to hard looking at the recent list of shovelware) - it would still be just as big of an achievement as showing the phantom to people, or releasing the gizmondo: ie, an utter failure.

Gets to pilot the crappy patrol labors
Anyone checked the Emergent homepage since the press release appeared? Sadness is everywhere on their frontpage, including the screenshot. All news on the frontpage are Sadness related, too. It seems to be Emergent's Wii reference project now...

I'll eat something like a dozen hats if this shot is actually taken from real-time in-game footage running on an actual Wii.Endless said:
Not because it looks great (the fuss they're making about the oh-so-phenomenal graphical quality is absolutely ridiculous), just because Nibris never releases anything that hasn't gone through several image editing processes.
Also, the fact that they promised to release a trailer in 2007 should take away all the confidence in this one-and-a-half-year-scam.

Prediction: if the game ever comes out, it moves to WiiWare.
But then that might make sense, and this is niBriS we're talking about.
