Alright, that's fine then...
Anyways, it's not the end of the world if this game is canceled, but I was really looking forward to this. It was the title that I was going to buy for the Wii to define the console, instead of just buying what's popular or from a proven franchise.

Agreed. I really wanted to see some new Nintendo IP that used the Wii from the ground up.
...there was a demo? Was this just at E3?
There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
@ MontanaHatchet yeah, the only hardcore games on Wii are continuations... On the other side, FFXIII, DMC4, MGS4, GT5, are not.

Past tense would mean it is not going to happen. Unless you actually believe it is not going to happen, since it didnt come out in the first year.

Don't forget Killzone 2.
Yup. All those system seller sure are fresh and new...

Am I missing the point here? THese games aren't "continuations"? I'm reading that as sequels...
^Actually, MGS4 is a continuation in the story. Not sure about Killzone 2. Perhaps DMC4. Definitely not FFXII. A Cars Life?
Actually, I have my reasons for looking forward to Disaster.
1.) Concept. Playing a game about the day the world ends? Hell yeah. It sounds like a blast to me. Of course, a lot of that depends on execution, but the concept itself is great. It's simply: survive. Survive the day that the world ends by whatever means necessary.
2.) I liked their past games. Pretty much enough said there, but I like Monolith as a studio. They also have a LOT of major talent in them. Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos were great games.
3.) Nintendo just purchased them. This means a few things. First of all, it means that Nintendo has a lot of faith in them as a developer. Second, it means they will fund the game with their deep pockets, breaking any financial constraints the game had. Third, they will assist in development if necessary in order to perfect the game.
So, I actually had a valid reason for caring about Disaster. Project H.A.M.M.E.R. on the other game was being made by a studio who's other games I haven't enjoyed much, and one of which was just a disgrace (Metroid Prime: Hunters). Obviously, not every Nintendo 2nd party developer is perfect, but Monolith is a good group of developers and I think Disaster could be great.

Of course! Just look at Mario Party 8 or Pokemon Battle... definitely lots of quality control going on there. |
My thoughts exactly...
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
