Pandemic's Next Big Thing
News from Yug - Wednesday, 29 July 2009 @ 10:48pm
Almost every day I'm reminded of the closure of Pandemic Studios in Brisbane, Australia - due to the fact that I walk past their old offices almost every second day, literally a few minutes walk from where I live.
Sure, the cancelled Dark Knight game got all the attention leading up to the beginning of the end, but it was their other title, the rumoured 'Next Big Thing' being developed on the Wii, that started gaining attention as being an innovative title that could either save the company, or at the very least allow the people who had worked so hard on the game to finish it.
As the dust has now settled, we stumbled upon a copy of a trailer for the unannounced and unreleased game (god bless showreels), so take a look at it, and prepare yourself for the dissapointment that this innovative title will never see the light of day.
Update: Not surprisingly, I recieved this email from youtube -

Is there any chance of it being picked up by another developer? It seems a worthwhile investment so it wouldn't be that hard to imagine
Such a shame this will never see the light of day...and it looked pretty complete too, although trailers can be deceiving.
That's a bit saddening, looked like a fun game. The graphics looked great for the Wii as well. The Mii changer was an excellent addition as well.
