Serebii Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 The Doctor and Amy help the SS Lucy Gray to return home to Earth, unravelling a Cyber Plot and preventing the Daleks from retrieving a lost Time Axis along the way. The Doctor and Amy arrive on a human colony ship returning to Earth after it was rendered uninhabitable by solar flares. Without provocation they are attacked by the ship’s maintenance robots and become separated in the struggle. The Doctor is eventually led to the ship’s Head Quarters, where he discovers a Cyber Leader has connected himself to the ships AI and is blackmailing it into doing his bidding, or else he’ll kill the crew. Meanwhile the Cybermen that were hiding in the ship ambush Amy and chase her out into space. Guide the Doctor and Amy as they face their biggest adventure yet! Out October 29th Hmm...
david.dakota Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Yes... Hmmm.... I'm a huge Doctor Who fan but, I don't know, I'm just not excited about this. I'd have rather had the BBC web-games on disk than this.
mcj metroid Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 http://www.asylum-entertainment.com/our-work/index.php the companies previous works.... check out the wii games I honestl'y have never seen or heard of any of them. hmm
Sméagol Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Are these from the same developpers as the PC games? I can't find any info on that. The PC games looked pretty good for something that costs € 4,- (outside of the UK they're not free). But I doubt these will cost € 4,-.
Cube Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Are these from the same developpers as the PC games? I can't find any info on that. Nope. The PC games are from Sumo Digital.
Cube Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Absolutely stunning. As before you ask: No, I didn't accidentally post the screenshots from the DS version.
Retro_Link Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Oooooh... looks like the Tardis is transporting us back to the N64 days! Sweet!
Tellyn Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 I suppose crappy graphics fits in with the age-old tradition of Doctor Who's crappy special effects.
Sméagol Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Oooooh... looks like the Tardis is transporting us back to the N64 days! Sweet! Yeah, I was thinking they should get their N64 devkit replaced with, you know, a current one. Too bad. At least the 4 PC games look pretty decent. Still need to buy those.
Zechs Merquise Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Oooooh... looks like the Tardis is transporting us back to the N64 days! Sweet! hahahaha. I knew this was going to be rather retarded when I saw the awesome use of the font Impact on the box art. A big white 'Return To Earth' in Impact with a nice baclk outline. Wonderful. Will have taken them literally seconds to add that to the official artwork sent over from the BBC. Still, I heard on invisible walls that back in the PS1 days a PS1 release would only need to sell around 30,000 copies to reach a break even point - that's obviously for a regular game, I'm sure it was more for a blockbuster like RE2 or MGS. However, if the break even was so low on the PS1, I wonder what the break even is for shite like this on the Wii?
Cube Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Too bad. At least the 4 PC games look pretty decent. Still need to buy those. Don't bother. They're awful. I felt ripped off and they were free.
daftada Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 However, if the break even was so low on the PS1, I wonder what the break even is for shite like this on the Wii? Depends on the team size and development time. I'd say a small team and 12 months development would cost £250,000 so they'd need around 50k units to cover development. If you add marketing, production and distribution costs into the equation they might need closer to 200-300k units worldwide to break even.
flameboy Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 what a turgid piece of shit this game looks...such a shame...We need a decent Dr Who game not been one since the awesome Dalek Attack which I still own somewhere....me and my friend used to play it sooooo much...you could pick which doctor to be and allsorts we used to love it!
Retro_Link Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Anyone seen the interview with the developer as part of one of the latest videos on the Nintendo Channel. It's terrible, he doesn't even seem to know what the game is about himself, or seem to care one bit!
mcj metroid Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Course we did know this was going to be shite. 3 posts in I was convinced
Ashley Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 We have the world's first review of the game, as written by our favourite six-sided staff member: http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=544
stuwii Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Who else finds it odd that the free games off BBC are much better than the wii abomination. Why give away something that obviously took a lot of time and money for free, then try and sell a 5 minute job for £40? Baffling
Cube Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Who else finds it odd that the free games off BBC are much better than the wii abomination. Why give away something that obviously took a lot of time and money for free, then try and sell a 5 minute job for £40? Baffling The free ones are still pretty bad and very cheap. If they wanted to make an effort with Doctor Who games, they would have asked Telltale to do them.
The Mad Monkey Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The free ones are still pretty bad and very cheap. If they wanted to make an effort with Doctor Who games, they would have asked Telltale to do them. There's always hope for Lego Dr Who.
darksnowman Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 There's always hope for Lego Dr Who. Now thats the way to go with Doctor Who games.
atnguyen Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 This game is quite strange. Who gave the review to see how With role-playing games, I just love playing Ledgen of Zelda
