The Calling

#1 | 17 October 2008, 1:45 AMOld
Rumour has it that Hudson is going to announce a first person horror game for Wii...

Quote:
Videogame publisher Hudson Entertainment appears to be about to announce a new horror title for Wii. The name will be ´The Calling´ or something similar, an open directory on a server suggests, which belongs to a U.S. PR company working for the publisher.

Said directory contains three trailers showing in-game footage but no slates or superimposed text. The title can only be guessed by the directory they are in. The platform is evident only by the on-screen control scheme (showing the Wii's ´A´ and ´B´ buttons). Thanks to HereticPB from Nintendo Centrum for exclusively digging this up and alerting me to it.

...

The game's style appears to be more in the vein of a ´Fatal Frame´ rather than an action-oriented survival horror like ´Resident Evil´. Either way, this would bring the count of horror games on Wii up to 14. Of course, whether it's a Wii exclusive remains to be seen.

Here are some gameplay vids... (note: turn out lights, close the curtains, turn up sound and watch )

If this is real... wow, do want.

Oh damn, that looks good. I like how it is more an adventure style of play. And it looks much more scary than RE4.

Yeah, it reminds me a lot of Fatal Frame... also, there's a rumour that says these vids were taken by some guy who hacked Hudson's network... judging from the vids it looks like someone created a mockup of a proposed game to show the higher ups... so who knows if we'll actually get this game or not.

Maybe after all of the positive things being said they will give the go ahead, who knows XD

You're like my nieces and nephew, Chim.

They can never sit still long enough to watch anything cause they have such short attention spans. And they always ask questions about stuff and demand they tell you what's next... or even just skip to the end XD

Pretty sure I'd already seen that footage when it was originally found, but still looks awesome. I would play this game.
