PS3 Fanboy

Now that was strange. Don't let the start put you off, watch it all the way through, reminds me of silent hill for some reason.

Poor dog lol.

I don't think I'm alone when I ask, what the hell was that?

I have a feeling that what we're looking at is not so much a game as a tech demo of some new engine. Notice the way they show-reel different materials and dynamics. I doubt the "plot" of this video has much to do with the actual game, if indeed a game it is. Perhaps the black mist has some correlation with the game though.

That said, the dynamics of it seems promising and the cloudy stuff i the beginning looks good.

If this is a trailer, it ranks as one of the worst I've seen in quite a while. As a tech demo, which it more than likely is, it seems cool albeit random as hell. Kudos on the music.

There's no basis to this whatsoever, but some guy in n4g noticed how the tentacle 'monster' looks like something from the ICO games. In any case, I don't think this is any way related to Team ICO, but if in some alternate universe that it was, it'd be kinda cool if the title of the a sequel was something along the lines of Linger In the Shadows of the Collossus

I also doubt this is the video the BBC guy talked about. It seems nothing like a game at all and more like a tech demo, or something you see off apps that test how great your video card performs.

To quote Towely, "I have no idea what's going on".

...It's pretty though. My initial thought was that maybe this was Team ICO's new project, but then I re-read the article and it says "SCEA's Santa Monica studios", so that basically rules out that theory. I'm going to guess that the theme of the game will deal with either dreams, the subconscious mind, or the afterlife.

To those of you that are criticizing the video because it gives no indication of what the actual game is like, think of it this way -- it was produced this way in order to gain your interest, induce curiosity, and show the technology all while keeping the actual game almost entirely under wraps. Looking at it that way it's very well done, artistic, and effective.

...The whole flying dog part was a definite "lolwut" moment though, I'll give you that.

This is not a game. It's a realtime demo made for the Breakpoint demoscene event: ttp://breakpoint.untergrund.net/

And for those of you who have no idea what the demoscene is, read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene
