Publishers show interest in Winter, game receives new build

March 27th, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

Back in January, the secret dark Wii title that IGN had been hinting about for months was revealed. The only problem was that the game was then considered to be canceled. So what has changed since gamers last heard about Winter?

The developers of the game have since created a new build of the game – Winter 2.0, as Dan O’Leary, president of development and creative director Ted Newman call it. Two weeks or so have been spent on the project. The developers have not only polished the game, but they have also added features such as Wii MotionPlus support for character attacks and object-based interactions. Graphically, the 3D engine has seen improvements. Textures have been upgraded and effects such as realistic falling snow and an overhaul of the flashlight can be noticed. The best news of all is that, according to O’Leary, a couple of publishers have shown interest in Winter. This could be an important step in seeing the game eventually release.

    I was thinking more like Silent Hill, but yeah, this game looked very promising. But without some care, it could turn out to be a turkey. I hope whoever picks it up takes it seriously and doesn’t just try to use it as a hardcore cashin, you know, like if they decide to put it on rails and call it an FPS experience?

    I know what you mean @ Used Cisco.

    Hopefully this could be a situation like The Conduit – SEGA has pretty much allowed High Voltage to develop as they see fit without much interference.

    Wouldn’t be shocked to see Sega nab this one too.
