Forums - Nintendo - new cursed mountain screens look great

megaman79 on 16 August 2009

Why arn't these FUCKING AMAZING character designs shown in the trailers? They have got to show these enemies, not just the one or two most common zombie spawn types.

My god, im really impressed with the effort put into the design of those enemies. Alot more interested now.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

It seems pretty funny, but pretty logical too: The Wii is the oficial home for horror games.

Logical? Of course. The new audience is more used to movie thrills. Easy and short storylines filled with basic emotions

There´s any emotion simpler than fear?

So, there we go:

JU-On
Silent Hill
Cursed Mountain

... theres more, right?

(and what´s the release date for Cursed Mountain?)

There's also The Calling. Some people might group Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles and Dead Space: Extraction in there.

This site says it's coming to Europe on the 4th of Sept.

N-Zone scored Cursed Mountain an 82. They complained about a slow pace and sluggish controls, but those are pretty common in a horror game. I'd say they're features, not bugs.

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=92659

Indded they are features.  As someone who's played all the Silent Hill games with the exception of Homecoming all I can say is "sluggish" controls don't really bother me in a horror game. 

 

Well, the game looks pretty good. And the review score (and the release date)

And they even made one of these "normal people playing my game in a dark room and being scared" videos

(i like those videos, to tell you the truth)

Im in

i noticed those ads on the CM website but did/are they even going to air them? Secondly is it really the same market as the Grudge, i don't really think it is.

The "scared" videos for Cursed Mountain probably never gonna air. They have a "viral" brand on youtube.

And the comparsion with the Grudge scared videos... well... looks excatly the same thing to me:

 

The Grudge

 

Cursed Mountain

 

Well, probably a rip off. The thought "Hey, this Grudge video is a good video, right? And its on only for japan, right? We could do the same thing for the US with cursed mountain!"

1) Personally, i dont see any problem with it. Different global regions, not stealing.

If ad agencies didnt steal ideas from across the globe, you wouldnt see half ads you see normally

 

2) I didnt saw the videos now, before posting it. So i dont remember if they´re really funny of worthy. But i think i laughed the first time i saw...

Actually when I saw the Cursed Mountain viral videos they reminded me more of the Fatal Frame IV videos than the ones from Ju-On.  Either way they probably did take the idea from both games to do the Cursed Mountain videos.  Oh and for those who haven't seen the Fatal Frame vids, they're priceless.

i'm not trying to trash the hype party, but the game doesn't look FUN, it looks alright, but its from a no name developer
