While delivering a discussion on the challenges of evoking unique emotions for video games at the Montreal International Games Summit, Kellee Santiago revealed new details on the development of her studio's second project, flOwer. The project was announced at this September's Tokyo Game Show but details were scant.
Santiago described the project, which is the spiritual follow up to the popular PlayStation Network game flOw, as thatgamecompany's "first game outside the safety net of academia." Based on Santiago's talk, it's clear that the game will be based at least partly around raising flowers alongside more traditional gameplay elements based on emotional responses to challenges consistent with the natural environment.

Great recommendations, I love all the games listed that I've played so far. Going a bit stir-crazy with the constant WFH during this time. Thanks!!

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Flower is a gorgeous, well-crafted and relaxing game, but I have to say, I don’t get the massive love towards it. Its “story”, if you can call it that, is far from deep and thought-provoking as some say it is, its duration is borderline insulting for its asking price, and it just doesn’t motivate you to replay it after you’re done with its half a dozen levels. Sadly, Flower isn’t as meaty as it should be. A fair point in a way, given it’s a game about plants…"
Man this game shot up to being one of my most anticipated PSN originals in relatively short time. ThatGameCompany kicked ass with flOw with its deceptively deep hypnotic gameplay, Cloud on PC is pretty awesome as well. I can't wait to see what this one is like. These are the type of games we need to move the industry.
seriosly I am still thinking this game is going to be like that boring japanese bird game.
Yet Sony still shot down my Pinball game using the 6 axis... but fund this game....
xbox 360 fans
1) xrots
2) xrats
please help me to choose one of them to name them from now on with this names!!
thats what i think!
xrats sounds more cooler then xrots but xrots sounds more like the truth about the rotten RROD of 360!!
the ps3 is still this piece of **** that seems to play games like flower, WTF is flower supposed to be!?!?
i would rather play grand theft auto 4 or warhound & battlefield 1942, thank u very much........
the ps3 is a crappy system that people buy for all the ***** otaku games all the time, and it just makes no sense........
having some good games which obviously it does, is not the same as having a game everyone respects......
i admit the xbox360 has its own games like this sometimes, that crazy idolmaster game is a perfect example that will only sell in japan....
but on the other side, the ps3 mainly has games like final fantasy 13..
i don't see anything too special about this at all, good or whatever else......
but on the xbox360, i see games like dis:
http://www.gametrailers.com...
and they blow my ******* mind, and make me realize why i bought 360 only to begin with!!!!!!!
**** do these games look incredible, thats some of these eastern games and western games both ....
but im not stupid.........grand theft auto 4 still grabs...
saints row 2 and the like are still far far better because they are western....
this is what i dont understand......flower and the like look g@yy as hell, how the **** can anyone say this is worth it?
give me half life 3 over that any day >:-D
360 FULL FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after reading that, i am even more interested in this game
i can't wait to see how it actually plays
i loved fl0w BTW
