Fear the REAPER

So like a more mature themed NSMBWii?

Lol, another article about Luc Bernard. Are you also planning on releasing your games? We are all still waiting for Eternity's Child.

So where the heck is Eternity's Child? I had forgotten about it till I read this article...I want my Eternity's Child!

I really don't like this guys graphic style at all.

Man that picture is awesome, I love that art style. Very much interested in a AAA side-scroller, though I guess from the comments so far I'll be waiting a while.

All bark, no bite.

I wonder if he'll ever get a WW game released...

Luc said there is little chance of Eternity's Child coming to Wii as that game is out of his hands. The only officially confirmed game from his is Mecho Wars.

Geez where have you guys been all these months?

@kirk
Really that's one of the main things I like about the guy. His art has a definite, edgy Tim Burton vibe. It's like when he releases a game, you'll know it's from him.

well I don't think it'll look better than Muramasa in the 2d graphics field, but it might be close

Or if you see a game hyped for a while here but never released, you'll know it's from him.

I've never looked forward to his games. Never liked the art style, or the actual developer himself. Cursing in interviews, egotistical, totally unaware that the general population would have some issues with him; the list goes on. Unless his never-to-be-released games get perfect scores everywhere, I'll continue to refuse to support this man.

Has Mecho Wars been released on Wiiware/DSiware anywhere yet? It's been released on iphone and PSP(I think!)... what happened?

@Oregano: Mecho Wars can't release until it's rated by the ESRB, which will be whenever they feel like it.

Wow, saw this headline in my feed reader and then I click through and it's about...Luc Bernard--talk about buzzkill.

wow, that picture reminds me of muramasa, which is good

Why doesn't the music work? I've been trying for an hour, but I'm still getting nothing. Anyone know the fix to the problem?

Well, I'm still excited for Mecho Wars myself - which is confirmed as existing on iPhone and has been well-received. Imagination sounds quite ambitious, I'll be interested to see how that turns out as well.

I'm gonna buy this and Eternity's Child if either come to Wiiware (or maybe retail in this case) day one. If it's a platformer (2D and 3D don't hate), it's a guaranteed purchase from me.

If any of Luc Bernard's games make it to Wii, that'll be a miracle in itself. I'm still waiting for Rose Princess.

But.. Blue Oyster Cult said 'DON'T fear the Reaper'!

Eternity child was released for PC a while back and was a disaster. The wiiware version was supposed to be the good version of that game but I guess trying to make something out of the flawed PC release has been a bit much for the developers of that version. Though it seems luc has been making out those devs to be bad.
That leaves one fairly well received iphone game for us to go on. And maybe the iphone game he just finished up. So we know he can put out iphone games.
Seems it might be best to just stick with the iphone games for him. Instead he's trying a really ambitious console game and a "controversial" game. He really should try to get something together with the current developers of wiiware eternity child so they can get done as a team effort instead of being "out of his hands" In any case a well brought together wiiware release should be his first order of concern just so games know he can get (hopefully) good games out there.

Anyway this little press release did nothing good for him as pretty much everyone has trouble getting excited about somethign from someone whos games often either don't get released or do horribly. Now people are having an even more negative opinion of the guy and his games.

As a child I always dreamed of working in the game industry, create my own games and earn much money. Well, yes. That's quite a long time ago. Meanwhile, I have resigned myself that this is not so easy going.

'4 player multiplayer' has my attention, let's see how it pans out.

I like the concept art and is Eternitys child ever coming out?

But will it be "the best looking 2d game ever shipped" ? That really is the question.

The concept art looks pretty compelling. Sorta reminds me of Vanillaware's stuff, but with creepy automaton/robot face mermaid things. Though I will say, he seems better suited to digital services.

Lets see what this looks like though. Bring it on!
