It is not a game. It is not a game demo.
It is a demoscene demo, made by hobbyists, published at the demoscene party Breakpoint 2008.

I love how when people put these demos out, that the gamers all of a sudden think that games will be of that quality. Wrong. Not unlike our 3Dmarks of today, it will amazing..but nothing looking like this will ever run on our current gen systems.

As long as they only "allow" the demo scene to make demos, and not "hire" them to do so, it's fine with me. The Scene is about digital art and independence, so this demo was already provoking negative feedback from the community.

Anyway - nice to see a bit of The Scene in the mainstream area. I've been a fan for quite some time, and The Scene has brought forward some great technical examples for compression techniques, procedural texture generation and so on. I'm not a coder (I've learned to program a few lines, but I try to avoid it as much as possible), but I sure can enjoy a good show.

There has been a 96 Kilobyte small First Person Shooter called .kkrieger, for instance - one level with at least 3 weapons that I can remember, completely in 3D, fully textured, with great graphics for the time it was released (it was DX9 if I remember correctly).

Another one of my favourites is Farbrausch. Take a look at their Demos, all linked from their Wikipedia Entry (can't reach their domain):

If you like artsy stuff and don't mind the Kraftwerk-Style electro music that usually goes along with it, have a look.

@Archaotic: I will never, EVER buy another piece of "interactive art" in those terms (not counting the artistic, or at least storytelling merit of Cinematic games and RPGs)... I learned my lesson when I simultaneously bought Aquatopia and Tori Emaki... They were fun for about a minute, and ceased to be so. If I had an HDTV in my living room that I wanted set up as a virtual aquarium, maybe I'd care... but Tori Emaki will never get touched again...

This looks like those old MGS4 screens, before the engine upgrade, when it was all green...

It would be neat if companies like Coke, Honda, Motorola, etc. could hire a demoscene group to make a commercial using only the PS3 to air on TV. Then PS3 users can download a version of the commercial to their system and move around it in realtime, pause it, interact with it. Could be just as feasible with the Xbox360. Hell, with the talent these demoscene guys have, they could probably do it with the PS1.

How's that as a marketing idea?

ectogamut — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:51:55 MDT

Why does everyone seem to think that AI and Physics are required to make a game? True, the vast majority of games out there use such things, but look at a game like Myst V: End of Ages. That has no AI or Physics, but it looks better than most 360/PS3 games and it's got plenty of fun gameplay.

I could envision this tech demo evolving into something with interactivity and objectives, which would make it a game. I hope the developers go that route.

This has always been one of Sony's major tricks except this time instead of doctored screen shots of a real game they are showcasing pure graphics.

There is no way a game in this generation could look this good. The GPU in the PS3 is a piece of shit, its only saving grace is The Cell which does a damn fine job of picking up the slack but give me a break. Throw in some AI and physics Sony, then we will talk.

Less beautiful "this is what we could do."

@Ruglia:

You're not alone. I'm not impressed either? Why?

Because I think this creates a completely unrealistic expectation of what the console can do in an actual GAME environment. I tried to explain the difference between visual peaks between a real-time cutscene and real-time gameplay before and all I got was FLAMED. Gamers in general will see this and think "Wow, eventually PS3 games will look like THAT!" and that's just not true.

The game industry is annoying me in general with misrepresenting how games actually look in their teaser and commercial advertising by using CG instead of gameplay. Simply put, I just think this needs to stop. All it does is ultimately disappoint us when we sit down to actually PLAY a game.

Datheron — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 19:47:13 MDT

Hm, interesting. For those not versed in the demoscene, "demos" as topaz420 linked above are more of a showcase of squeezing every last drop of computing power out of a system to create spectacular visuals and audio, usually in a small package of code.

It goes to highlight how much computing resources go into modern interaction + physics engines; all of the demos I've ran and saw don't really bother with basic game stuff like collision detection or physics (beyond the simple stuff like gravity) and would rather spend the power generating complex structures or textures.

That said, we *know* the PS3 has a bunch of powerful Cell processors, so this is a smart move on Sony's part to let people who like to optimize hardware to...optimize a tricky piece of hardware. Don't expect retail games to hold these presentation values, though.

Alright, I'm glad I'm not alone. I also thought of Team Ico as soon as I saw the screens. They seem to have the exact same tone. But, MGS4 also looked like this at one point. So, its likely something else outside of Team Ico's work. But, we won't know until an announcement, now will we? But, don't get your hopes up, just the same.

Since they're from the demoscene, it's probably a demo ( [en.wikipedia.org] ) not a "game demo."

I always found the sceners to be some of the most brilliant minds in the whole world of programming -- the way they best themselves with size limitations is astounding, spawning even playable works such as "Kkrieger," whose technology has only just begun to trickle into mainstream game code (with Spore), even 4 years after its release.

Also, they used to some beautiful stuff on my trusty ol' Amiga. *teardrop*

You know, do Free Running or Parkour in it, etc. Maybe even enter houses and such and mess stuff up and the stuff would stay messed up, eventually you'd trash the entire city...

Well, since they're saying it's not really a game...maybe it's a tech demo? Maybe it gives you a city to walk or fly around and interact with, but there's no real gameplay to it? Who knows.

Maybe it'd be a cool little PSN freebie download, just to show us all what the system's really capable of. But that title..."Linger in Shadows" has a bit of a dark side to it. I don't know. Maybe it is a game. I'll have to keep an eye and an ear open for this one.
