Schwarzenberg Delayed

A post on TheForumz.com has word from Radon Labs saying that "Schwarzenberg is delayed for a bigger amount of time." Though it can't be determined from the title, Schwarzenberg is a stealth action game set in World War II, and the number of similar projects coming to market have made it impossible for them to find a publisher to back this title at this time. Word is to expect further details soon on a different "big project" Radon is undertaking using the technology from Schwarzenberg.

Heh, nothing more refreshing than a bunch of americans trying to interpret the hell out of a german word Guys, "Schwarzenberg" is nothing more than a last name, and a very common one for Germany that is (I just found 4 of them by a quick look in my local phonebook). If at all, it would translate "black mountain" and even then it should read "Schwarzer Berg", so there's not much room for speculation.

The reason why they chose this name might be that it sounds like the typical name a highly decorated general in WW2 would have or as a concentration camp would've been entitled. And as long as americans release games named after dudes like "Duke Nukem" or "Max Payne", I think Radon really don't deserves the crown for stupidest game name evar

most european countries use black to describe mood. for example film noir is "black film". it just means dark. i think it would prolly be better to say dark city (we need a game made in the dark city universe btw), though the technical definition is correct

If they want it published, they should change the soldiers to elves and orcs. If they want to get gamers interested, they should make the characters over into aliens.

Wow, this does actually look pretty cool. Why haven't we heard anything about this one.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22

The name probably makes alot more sense if you're German, or you know, an alien.

Strangley enough, I do know about this game, and I even know what its about. I saw a preview or something on Gamespydaily a few months ago..

Holy cow! those are some nice screenshots! To bad it looks like just another generic shooter.

If only they could make a new Close Combat game using an engine like this (~sigh~)..

He's running for governor of Califorinia and has a game coming out! Is there anything the man can't do?

And even though he's being delayed, HE'LL BE BACK!

The levels look schweet!
The graphics do not look top of the line, but ahh well.
The crosshair in the one screen shot looks really ugly, hope they polish up the hud.

I think it is gonna be Splinter Cell in WW2...which could be very fun and cool, if done right!

I just hate that it is delayed, from lack of publishers it appears! They should just make it, and pull a Enemy Territory and release it free! If it is good, they will score a publishing deal then! (plus, I want free games :)

Thank you Radon Labs for clearing up the delay of Schwarzenberg. Now I think I speak for all Blue's News readers when I ask: "who the fuck are you and what the fuck is Schwarzenberg?"

Yeah yeah I know, Project Nomads...
