They certainly live up to their name judging by that trailer.gamingeek said:

Looks at history... sees Konami... sees it will be an horror game... sees Silent Hill Origins.wsippel said:Looks fun, I really loved the first Overlord.

And are those cowboy hats on the minions? :lol
It was Yamaoka, he said grandmas wouldn't play Silent Hill.Sadist said:Didn't one of the big wigs at Konami thought that Silent Hill wouldn't be a good fit for the Wii?
No, but it has some awesome shaders.Cow Mengde said:Wait, so this game isn't a first person on-rails shooter?
Sadist said::lol I'm going to laugh soooo hard if it turns out to be Silent Hill. Didn't one of the big wigs at Konami thought that Silent Hill wouldn't be a good fit for the Wii?

I'm surprised no one noticed that it's also on Gametrailers, and in HD.gamingeek said:
You're right, I must have mixed them up:Father_Brain said:Actually, that was Masahi Tsuboyoma, in a different interview (which may or may not have been legit; it didn't read like most Japanese magazine interviews I've seen).

However the sales are Japan are unimpressive. It does have a large installed based in the West though which will be looked at. While Nintendo Wii sales are very high, and i applaude Nintendo for their sucess, I dont think Silent Hill is a game that would be sold on Nintendo Wii as much as a game like Zelda would worldwide. This by no means says we will not consider the idea but the general opinion is that Wii is for family games and im sure the fans don't play Silent Hill with their grandma!
Fuck! "PSP" wasn't there a few weeks ago I believe...hemtae said:On their website, they have something that says "New Wii and PSP game" and underneath it, it has the Konami logo
Do you know for sure it's a survival horror title?wsippel said:Fuck! "PSP" wasn't there a few weeks ago I believe...
A few weeks/ months ago, their website stated that they had two unannouned games in development, both for Konami. One for Wii and one for PS3 and Xbox360. Their company profile back then stated that they were working on some great new PS360 title for Konami, as well as an unannounced horror game. Pretty obvious, isn't it?Sadist said:Do you know for sure it's a survival horror title?
rezuth said:Yes! Its like Dungeon Keeper except more focus on RPG rather than base building. If you have a PC the game costs like 20 bucks for it. Awesome game, one of the best I played last year.
It feels like if Bullfrog made the game
Wow, no pop-in and stable framerate... Awesome!later said:
If you mean base building in the sense that you have to press a button on the UI and drop something down, then no. Torture is in the game aswell but okay no original minions or wide selection.YourMaster said:I love Dungeon Keeper, but sadly this is no Dungeon Keeper. The only similarity is the "good to be bad theme". Apart from that, this is just pikmin. No base building, no training, no torturing, no wide selection of original minions.
What was a real letdown for me was that there where just 4 different minions that only differed in color and attack. I would have loved to invade the land with a horde of dungeon beasts, in stead I got to have a bunch of gremlins upset some corrupt landlords.
Yeah, we talked about that before. Sacrifice is awesome.flipping_heck said:The game is more and more reminding me a of a game called Sacrifice (which is very awesome btw) minus the base building i suppose.
I will pick this up when I get through my huge backlog of games
The first thing you'll notice is that the game looks really good. The Overlord wreaks havoc through lush, expansive environments, the game runs in widescreen, and the character animation is very realistic. To put things in perspective, the other IGN Xbox and PC editors at the event all stopped to look at Overlord: Dark Legend and said, "man, this looks really good." This is one of the prettier Wii games we've seen.
Several well known fairytale characters make appearances in Dark Legend, but they are presented with that quirky Overlord twist. Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel, and the Gingerbread Man are here, but a little more sinister than you may remember. We don't have a lot of detail about the story, yet, but we know it will show how the Overlord came to be. An early cut scene we saw showed a skinny kid stepping into the familiar armor of the despot. The same voice actors from the first game are on board, so we can expect to see some characters return.
Playing the game, it was obvious the developers designed the controls for the Wii. While the analog stick moves the Overlord, the pointer function of your remote will direct your minions and spells. Basically, the B button will send minions and the A button will call them back to your side. Tapping left and right on the D-pad will cycle through your minion types, and down will select them all. Up on the D-pad will activate your spells. Using pointer controls makes it easier to send minions to multiple locations. You can also hold down the B button and then point to sweep all your selected minions at once.
You can center the camera by tapping the C button, or hold it down to fix it behind you. Players can choose to perform a melee attack by pressing the Z button or waggling the nunchuk -- an obvious choice.
The minions of Dark Legend possess a new ability not found in the first game. By holding the A and B button and giving your remote a shake, you can throttle a minion and light their fuse, so to speak. Then let go and they'll run off, only to explode in a few seconds.
Your posse will also find a greater variety of scavenged items around the game world. Instead of just pots and pans or pumpkin shells, they'll pick up zany hats like sombreros or chef caps.
There are four colors of minions, and each has unique abilities. Brown minions are your grunt soldiers; red throw fireballs and are immune to heat; blue can wade through water; green are immune to poison gas. Each color also has a unique bomb effect that can be used to clear obstacles. Certain vines are susceptible to flames, for instance, so sending a red minion on a suicide mission will burn them away.
On the 360, PC, and PS3 the Overlord's minion cap is 50. Here on the Wii, because of less processing power, that cap is currently at 25. The developers are tweaking the game to see if they can't raise that number a tad.
Don't have time to watch it again but it looked like a giant mushroom cap. Similar to the Jack-O-Lantern helmets the minions wore in the first game.AceBandage said:I think it was a sambreo.
