PS3 Fanboy reports:
''Linger in Shadows is quite mysterious. We know that it's going to be a rather experimental release on the PSN -- a daring piece of "interactive art," according to PSN producer Rusty Buchart. But, what the experience be like? We're still unsure, but the ESRB has just rated the title -- and has claimed it A-OK for Everyone.''
BeefJack: "Personally, I think taking the game out of games has limited long-term appeal within our medium, although some are certainly immersive. As we explore more ways to interact with our games, we’re also finding more ways we can tell stories through game systems, and that can only be a good thing.
But gamers aren’t the only group of people to exist, and virtual worlds you can explore, infused with story and meaning, could still have a very important purpose. Art games are not the future of videogames. But they might just be the future of art."
Linger in shadows was really interesting, not sure what to call it, but I certainly enjoyed it.
As a game and an artist, it makes me very excited to see independent developers to gain success through an artistically beautiful game with innovative elements of gameplay. Linger in Shadows and Flower are great examples. In all honesty, I never particularly enjoyed "playing" either of those two games but I LOVED watching them. They truly are Art.
The Dutch website PSFocus.nl has written an article about Sony and there interactive videos: Linger in Shadows and Behind the Bullet. Besides from describing these interactive videos, PSFocus also brings up the point if this is the future or not.
I enjoyed both interactive videos. Sony is the only console that brings these pieces of interactive art on the marktet. The small price I had to pay for Linger in Shadows was well worth it and Behind the Bullet is for free.
Thanks for the article! I enjoyed it.
The PSN-exclusives Flower and Noby Noby Boy both take the top spots in February. These innovative games take gaming in new directions, and we're glad to see gamers have embraced them.

i've only played flower and it was awesome especially after an intense session of Killzone2. will definately give some other PSN games a go.

I wonder what the numbers are actually like; is it in the thousands (very likily), tens of thousands, or is spot number ten in the hundreds.
With sharing up to 5 different PS3s, how did that affect the sales, so on so forth
AHHH either way the video looked sweet. Just hope the gameplay is as sweet.
the engine because we know that this is the same engine they are using this engine for God of War 3. incredible stuff. and with all thats going into this. This is going to be the second game with Killzone 2 level graphics. i'm simply impressed. I'll see what this title is gonna be about
they've been given a budget and free reign to work on something
from the interview i saw a while back its just a few people who add different things on their off time from their day jobs..
has a lot of promise
