A little Sadness (Sadness)

Jun 11, 2008

Back in April, after an appearance by poster "nibris" in the IGN Wii Lobby when a screenshot surfaced, we were expecting more media and a trailer by the end of May. Well, Twilight_Prince recently returned, with an all-new possible screenshot (seen above), and a statement that the website was supposed to go live by the end of May. A third of the way into June, it's nowhere to be seen ... but should we expect more from a company that apparently has some dude on the internet doing their PR?

Nov 1, 2007

Since it was announced, one publisher has jumped ship, the game has been delayed on more than one occasion, and people have been dripped information and media (none of which hints at there being any real content) at a painfully slow pace.
