Hudson to announce new horror title for Wii



Videogame publisher Hudson Entertainment appears to be about to announce a new horror title for Wii. The name will be ´The Calling´ or something similar, an open directory on a server suggests, which belongs to a U.S. PR company working for the publisher.

Said directory contains three trailers showing in-game footage but no slates or superimposed text. The title can only be guessed by the directory they are in. The platform is evident only by the on-screen control scheme (showing the Wii's ´A´ and ´B´ buttons). Thanks to HereticPB from Nintendo Centrum for exclusively digging this up and alerting me to it.

The game's style appears to be more in the vein of a ´Fatal Frame´ rather than an action-oriented survival horror like ´Resident Evil´. Either way, this would bring the count of horror games on Wii up to 14. Of course, whether it's a Wii exclusive remains to be seen.

EDIT The directory has been removed from the server. I will probably have another update on this soon.

EDIT I had to reupload the three videos. Also, the entire directory http://www.clevercomm.com/Hudson/ has been purged. Other directories relating to Hudson still bear content but there is a chance that the publisher has cancelled its involvement with the PR company. I have contacted them and will have more on this soon.

EDIT Allegations have arisen that the videos may be fake. GoNintendo claims so in an update to their post:


The video and links to the video posted earlier have been removed due some potentially stolen and/or misleading information, which is not the kind of thing we condone, and not the kind of coverage we want to bring our audience.

The supposed link to a Hudson FTP or asset hub was faked, meaning the information was not hosted by them, their PR firm, etc. but instead by some devious third-party, making any videos and the rumour itself very suspect indeed. While the rumour parts remain, the video and related materials will not be available on our site, and we apologise for inadvertently participating in someone else’s mischievous online activities.


Now, I am unconvinced. The PR company is indeed working for Hudson and their other directories are just as accessible. Perhaps GoNintendo wanted to find an excuse for taking the content down or were even asked to discredit the content. Perhaps, though, their claims are true. Again, I will update this very soon and should be able to clear it all up.

EDIT GoNintendo has since retracted their above speculation. And Nintendo-Centrum has posted a clarification. I myself have been asked to remove the content but have requested more background information before any such action. Please stay tuned.

EDIT In yet another update to this story, YouTube has deleted the clips and, surprisingly, it seems that no videos remain available on the net. I still have access to copies stored locally but will not upload them again. If Hudson does not want them shown, I respect their decision. There is no reason to delete any other content in this article, since everyone else and their dog is writing about it.

Would be kind of hard to be fake if it is showing up on a PR company that works for Hudson and other developers

Wtf?

If they said that was for Wii (or when/if the do) you would be bagging it. So stop talking shit, really.

From the videos, just find it weird as there is no real text (ok I only watched the 1st video, assuming the other 2 are the same).

Just looks more like a concept of a game.

Hey Falafelkid - Looks like GoNintendo switched positions or got more of a confirmation.

Calling – The Clarification

You may have seen the rounds of three mysterious video files of a point and click horror game by Hudson called Calling. I know Hudson and Clever Communications wants no mention of this game anymore but I thought I would put digital words down on what really happened at least concerning my actions.

The videos were quite good and quite scary. Be it test footage, game footage, whatever they were great and I loved them. For that matter many other people liked the footage.

Hudson we love the idea and game that is if it is a game yet or will be now, it is amazing.

I was contacted to remove the videos, which I promptly did from Youtube and from Revver that I uploaded them to. Hudson has made the rounds to remove the other videos from the Internet from other individuals and they are justified, as it is their property.

I wanted to put this out on the net. I do not know who put the videos on the PR site of Clever Communications be it employees of Clever Communications, Clever Communications themselves, Hudson Employees, Hudson, or anybody else and I am sure Hudson as a company is quite pissed. You would be too if someone uploaded content and had “stolen it”.

Honestly, though it being on a PR site I have a hard time with the notion of it being stolen. I found these videos myself, and I have no problem stating that, from Clever Communications site. There was no intent, no idea, or action of stealing the videos. It could have been a bit of stupidity on my part as I thought the PR page that was posted was validated information to be released.

Honestly, the leak of these videos actually created more fans of the game earlier than it should but the game looks to be amazing. I hope that not harm comes from this situation.

My little phoney.

Dead Space kills all of Wii's psuedo-horror games.

´Resident Evil´ and ´House of the Dead´ are pseudo horror? Then you're a pseudo gamer (or proper village idiot).

Who the hell wants to play a boring clicking bullshit title?

And, indeed, who wants to play ´Dead Space´? Keep those arguments coming, mate.

Light-gun games aren't horror. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is not a real Resident Evil game.

Light-gun games aren't horror. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is not a real Resident Evil game.

Nor is ´House of the Dead´ horror, yeah? And I guess ´Time Crisis´ isn't action either, for the same reason. Wicked, you just keep getting better and better at your job.
