YES before you ask I realize this is old...but I was just reminded of it and had to post something.

Scrapped? Probably.

Even so!

The eccentric Suda 51 harnesses the power of PS3 for a bizarre action/adventure inspired the work of existentialist writer Franz Kafka. In an unusual town full of odd locals, your stranded characters must explore the town and its castle to find a way out, using only his carried torch to light his way and to fend off the unexpected and unexplainable horrors that await. Advanced new lighting and graphic techniques are used to impress upon you the feeling of fear and loneliness (the tite "Kurayami" means "Darkness" in Japanese) as you venture through to the end of your quest.

damn straight

I was really hoping capcom didn't kill this game. I can't wait to see more.

 

[Saitou]

The only thing ever made for this game was conceptual artwork.


I don't even know if Grasshopper have a PS3 devkit.






This didn't deserve a thread.

 

[EverSoTrendy]

This could be really awesome, or really bad. Lets hope it doesn't work like FF.

 

[MutFox]

That dude in the middle looks like Tingle without his cap...

 

[plagiarize]

remember this thing that looked really cool but isn't going to happen?

thanks guys

 

[Jacobi]

Heh, I know that story it is based on. Hopefully Suda stays true to it and the game will "end" the same.

 

[reminder]

Sadly Suda 51 isn't going to devolop a game for the PS3 anytime soon...

 

[Steroyd]

I'm still looking for my Killer 7 game that mysteriously disappeared shortly after I completed it.

 

[XHitoshuraX]

Updated OP

On SUDA 51 and PS3....I think it depends entirely on the publisher he can get. With a backing like capcom, he was able to make something as ambitious as Killer 7, same holds true for PS3

 

[jj984jj]

The game was never scrapped since it was only a concept to begin with, Suda has been showing interest in the 360 lately though, maybe a publisher will let him make his next-gen game someday.

 

[Crow-kun]

He better start baking those cookies because no one is going to fund this.:lol

 

[tanod]

SCE is pretty good at picking out interesting projects from independent developers so maybe they could pick it up.

All right, here, tell you what we’re going to do... We are going to stuff each one of these gift bags with concept art, some glitter, and a decorative hand soap. And we’re going to send them to every publisher in town. And don’t forget the funny notes.

Although altogether different...Everyday Shooter!

 

[Emotions]

This is pretty much vaporware.
I came into this thread thinking there was some new info on it. :lol

Unlucky Nibris. This is cool, the art and setting sounds okay. Suda is enough to get my interest.

ETA on screens? project%?

 

[XHitoshuraX]

Eh it was a concept....one that most likely never see the light of gaf...

Just like bloody Heavy Rain.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Another Wii fit victory! har har har

seriously though, the Wii probably really did kill this project. And the 360 to a lesser extent.

 

[ezekial45]

I remember seeing this game in EDGE magazine last year. It was the one with the big article on Suda 51 and Grasshopper studios. I'm quite intrigued by this game.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

This didn't deserve a thread.

evidently nothing deserves a thread these days unless it's NPD day. -_-

Well...you posted in it....

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Probably dead.

The Castle is one hell of a book to base a game off of. Suda would have to come up with an ending as well, since the book ends mid sentence.

 

[Haunted]

Never got past the concept stage. I guess Suda 51 has a bunch of game ideas that are that far along, the difference is that we know something about this one.

 

[XHitoshuraX]

bump


JUST because I feel like it.

[Gokurakumaru]

I love how everybody thinks there's no way this will get made given (a) Capcom repeatedly flushed money down the toilet with the Gamecube last gen, and (b) Suda 51 got the go ahead to make another game (No More Heroes) even after his last project was a commercial flop.

No news in a long time would tend to suggest this project is shelved, but suggesting it's anything to do with the PS3 is completely ignoring the company and director's history.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Yeah but they try to pick good development houses.

 

[Dascu]

Suda said a while ago that he didn't have any PS3 projects at the moment. I think this was the same interview in which he said he was planning something for the X360. So, I think Kurayami was either put on hold or canned completly, or, changed into a Wii or a X360 game.

 

[grandjedi6]

the tite "Kurayami" means "Darkness" in Japanese

uh-oh looks like Sadness has some competition now :lol

 

[gimz]

i think they wont develope this game for a while,

i think Capcom know this kind of game wont do too well (even its a really good game, see Killer 7, Viewtiful Joe)

and especially they are thinking of releasing on PS3, this game will bomb hard if they release it now

they should wait till the PS3 gets a bigger market share before they work on this project

 

[speedpop]

they should wait till the PS3 gets a bigger market share before they work on this project

Or port it over.....


But anyway, from the original artwork on this project it looks killer.

 

[Jacobi]

Probably dead.

He could let the game simply not end.

 

[maxmars]

"Darkness", eh?.. You know where that leads to.. :lol

 

[tehbear]

Codings on the cells and the market killed this project! I hate both?

 

[theBishop]

... or Wii is going to fund this project. Right Ubisoft?! :lol
