Topic: DESCENT FOR WiiWare ANNOUNCED

[VANGUARD]

no news, just saw the Descent support page from interplay. Isn't it sort of deceiving to have the Descent 3 pictures and then talk about Descent I & II?
what else I find odd is their top picture that doesn't look all that Descent at all, except for the sphere to the left.

Sorry. bored. just....um...yeah...sorry.

That is rather deceptive. I'm disappointed in Interplay with their handling of D-Wii so far.

[Crash]

It'll arrive, don't worry.
The fact we haven't heard a lot recently is probably good news, right? You'll not hear about it again for months and suddenly *bam*, there it is on the shelf in GAME.

I just really hope those extra levels go in to make the game the best value possible.

I know D3 is tough to get to do anything with technically because it was made by a dev team that was at war with itself, but the awesomest thing would be Descent3 on the Wii.
I still think the variety of missions and environments and objectives would be even more satisfying to people, like now.
And even the Wii could handle it computing-power-wise, right?

I noticed that they're doing an "MDK2 HD". Wouldn't it be nice to have Descent3 HD? Ooooh yes.

"D-Wii" ...*snicker* That just sounds funny. 

[Scyphi]

Sounds kind of French.

...their top picture that doesn't look all that Descent at all...

About that, no one really knows what the deal is behind that pic at all, save that it's probably concept art, maybe from a past Descent game, but some of the more optimistic have suggested it might be (or might have been) concept art for a supposed D4, but there's no way of really knowing unless Interplay fesses up to the pic's backstory.

Even then they could be lying to please the masses...
Not that I think they'd do that.

[Scyphi]

I would.

I mean, c'mon, it's Interplay. They let us down on a regular basis these days. 

[Kaiaatzl]

If they do say something... I'm just saying I don't see any reason for them not to tell the truth... and telling the truth would be less effort on their part (they don't need to come up with a lie).

Good news everyone! I got an email back from Scott Hawkins!

Hi Darkflamewolf,

 

Sorry for the long delay in this response.  I wanted to send you a quick email to let you know that we are still continuing with Descent for Wii and that I have received your email with the signed agreement.

 

I am hoping to have more updates for you very soon (including a fully executed agreement).

 

Talk to you soon,
Scott

Excellent news!!

[Sapphirus]

Can I get a "Hoo-rah!"

[NUMBERZero]

Huhuhuhuuuu my timing was perfect over at the Interplay boards. I just asked for some official news. Nobody has replied yet. But this is GREAT NEWS!

Hoo-rah!

[Shroudeye]

Hoo-rah...finally.

[Scyphi]

Yay! 

[Alieo]

I don't even have a Wii, but if this comes out, I JUUUUST might get one! I'd LOVE to see what they're going to do about the music!
