Linger in Shadows (PS3 tech demo)

From the latest Breakpoint demo party: Linger in (the) Shadows (Just hit the Download button to get the HD video.). Sponsored by SCE, and probably to be released via PSN at some point in the future. There's also a Youtube version, which, obviously, looks notably less impressive thanks to the lower resolution.

Poor dog.

Interesting. The music was the best part. I really don't get it though what were the portraits at the beginning? Pictures of the developers? If so they took quite a bit of time rolling through those.

I really didn't think it was very impressive at all. I mean, the arty style of it seemed 'for the sake of it' rather than for any deeper meaning but beyond that the graphics (at least in the video i saw) looked pretty crap if this is supposed to be a demo of what the PS3 can do it looks (IMO) worse than some of the games already out. The physics interactions were also lacklustre being very rigid and poorly handled by the looks of things. Even the (volumetric?) smoke and fog/cloud effects just didn't seem that great.

Maybe i'm missing something. I don't want to be hating on it but i just don't see the point. Though i can say one thing in praise of it - at least it wasn't all shiny-plastic looking like a lot of current gen games...

Note, I only saw the you-tube version. But what a boring techdemo. They should have added at least 1 gun, sword, or swund. A couple million would have been even better.

Also, what Duoae said.

I don't watch, I interact!

Can we rename it "Meh", the tech demo.

Currently on a gaming hiatus until the fall.
