wow. I can't believe I watched almost all of that. Let's see, do I have room in my game library for something that I could pick up in a lifetime and then MAYBE understand, plays slower than real life and lacks any detail, and is all in black and white...

This is a joke right.. explore the soul on PS3? I sure hope my soul journey is not that boring...

Oh, I get it - that's what your spiritual journey would look like if you were one of those WoW type 24/7 computer/games guys... I get it.. funny.

The first 8 minutes of that game look like they could be made for the sega cd, I might as well play Night Trap.
I think that game should be scrapped and the entire team sent over to work on Uncharted so it comes out sooner.

Thanks for using that video player...the slider actually works so I just fast forwarded through most of the video.

That game reminds me of flow, too bad this one will cost $60!

wow...if the final version of the game plays like that for the first 10 min...then count me out. Sounds like a great concept if they can pull it off but looks like they still got a long way to go

Wow, a really long screensaver. Should be a free download on the PS Store.

I really don't think that is a game at all. Look at the credits, its from the University of Souther California....My guest its an artistic work representing the effect that video games have "sanitizing" what we would normally do and see/feel/smell.

Bill Viola is a pretty cool video artist, but I'm not sure how well his art will translate to a "video game". Still, and intriguing development. I'll be keeping an eye on it at least.

If this is fun or not, costly or not remains to be seen. No matter, I applaud the effort to strive away from the instant gratification genre. We don't all have ADHD.

if this is a survival horror IM THE HELL IN

That.. That looks like a video a cult would use to mindscrew people.

It's a nice little art project. http://thenightjourney.com/statement.htm has a little bit of info on it. I seriously doubt this will ever be for sale.

For all we know it's just a prototype of what they are aiming to create and it's nowhere near close to what it will be like to play the final product.

As #12 said too, how do we even know this will ever be a product? Could always be some kind of art project of some sort.

reminds me of those strange flash games like Veridian Room (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/viridian) where you're dumped in a room without any memory and you have to solve a mystery in order to get out.

Or at least it would be nice if that's what Night Journey is trying to do... at this point, it looks more like a synthetic drug trip. I guess if flOw was too fast paced for you, this might be a good game to pick up.

I am amazed by how narrow minded people in this website can be. I mean i watched that and my breath was taken away I mean for once I can play a game journey around look at things that dont make sense at all yet somehow they still make sense.

I think it's much more palatable if it's viewed as interactive art rather than as a game. Games have goals and objectives. This "whatever-it-is" doesn't seem to have any of that. The only thing making it a game would be that it's presented on gaming hardware.

This reminds me of all those video art installations that make me want to poke my eyes out with the nearest post modern statuary.

Either that, or some freaky dead Japanese girl is about to step out of my monitor... oh sh*t OH SH*T. I better spam this link on Veoh.

Great idea, I was totally stoked until I saw the implementation. If slow-blur black and white without all the subtleties of b/w (granted it may be the mpeg) is someone's idea of impressing us, they better go back.

The best shots were the last, but I assume they were not in-game. The part with the guy's shadow, the shaky-cam, and the building, these would be more what I would expect in the game-- only they weren't, they appeared to be 'shot' footage.

I don't expect much from this, in fact I'm worried it could destroy for a while any hope we might have of some interesting psychedelic/alternative game.

I agree with Radical re: the idea-- I would love a game where I can just walk around and discover stuff and see pretty graphics and hear cool music. This video didn't really deliver on that, but the idea's time has def. come.

It's interesting though, that this footage has garnered some of the better comments I've seen, and from people I haven't seen comment, before.

I don't know what this game's all about, but it definitely reminded me that I think NOCTIS would be great on the PS3. Open-ended space exploration for the win! (Go check it out, it's freeware.)
