The survival horror genre has become more action orientated in recent years. It was this frustration that forced n-Space to develop Winter. Winter seems like the type of game most would be afraid to play alone...or at least with the lights off. While Winter looks more than promising, n-Space are finding it extremely difficult to find a committed publisher, despite overwhelming praise. Publishers have labelled the game a costly risk, claiming that an adult orientated game on the Wii, is an uphill battle. More inside.
""They don't want to stick their necks out with a sales projection when they aren't able to cite comparable products” says Dan, president of n-space “Pitching anything that isn't a kid's game for the Wii is an uphill battle.” While all looks grim for Winter’s future, Dan acknowledges that developers like Sega, are changing their perspective of adult games on the Wii. “It's great to see SEGA's recent comments about opportunity in the hardcore gamer market on the Wii. They seem to understand that the Wii's huge marketshare is not just new gamers, but includes all the diehards as well. Perhaps the tides are beginning to turn” Source: IGN
