LingerInShadows - Not just a demo

"News has just hit the internet about a "in-game" demo that is "amazing" running on the PS3. This game seems to be the game that had a BBC reporter blown away.

4Sceners has uploaded an image gallery of screen caps of the video they were shown.

Not much is known yet about LingerInShadows. Hit the jump for a scoop you will ONLY read at Sev1512…

As many of you know Sev1512 has some friends on the inside…

Earlier this month I noticed a dev, on my friends list playing a game that I didn't recognize. This game was LingerInShadows… I know its a game, because it had a PS controller/game icon, next to the title. I asked this dev what the game was, but never got a response.

So you heard it here first. LingerInShadows is not just a technical demo. Its a game, and I am being as bold as to say its the game that had a BBC reporter "speechless""

Almost everyone game on the ps3 leaves people speechless. Like uncharted, heavy rain, eight days, getaway, GT, MGS, killzone 2, little big planet, resistance 2, FF13.

Ps3 is just starting to unlock it's potential. Wii is already maxed out unless they can even surpass what Mario and Brawl has done. Xbox is mid-stage like pc gaming but it's long before people see the limitations of xbox because most developers would develop multi-platform rather than exclusive.

First: Wii is not going to do that well with the competition because it's missing the multi-platform boat all-together. I know that it's selling software and hardware, but a mainstream gamer wouldn't be impressed by Wii in future.

Second: I didn't say that xbox is going to die or anything because why would it? It's has a strong base and solid games. However xbox is slowing down compared to what will be happening to ps3 from a year from now. Plus ps3 is going to put much more competition.

Edit: i am sick of developers and reviewers dissing the ps3. The fans are clearly there, but if they aren't willing to give ps3 a second look, then it's their loss. Developers will lose their sales revenue and reviewers will lose people that vist their website.

lol i disagreed wii was maxed out about the same time game cube was maxed out. Mario kart wii apparently looks a little bit worse than mario kart double dash. Now that is just shameful

I don't believe it's a game thugh.

Althoguh if it were a game, I really like how surreal it is, that's somethign that hasn't really been exploired in games. Even Psychonauts had a theme.

Wii sports is the third best selling video game of ALL TIME. It's sold more than the entire MGS franchise combined (Picked a random series). Wii is hardly maxed out, while hardcore gamers are going to pick it up for games like Super Smash Brothers and then stop buying it, the casual crowd will NEVER stop buying it. You need to give credit where credit is due. Realistically, the Xbox 360 (which is the only console I own) has no where left to go but down. PS3 just has too many killer apps and unless Microsoft has something left up there sleeve (GoW 2 isn't going to cut it.. maybe Peter Jackson's secret Halo Project).. they are fighting an unwinnable battle.

Shame almost all those game you mentioned arnt even out yet.

But anywho, Is the game in black n white or did they just do the pictures in black and white (Sarcasm little bit). I have noticed how this seems to be a common theme like metal gear solid, killzone and such the lack of color is just awful.

1.10 - @ Utalkin2me
I would take the color schemes found in Killzone and MGS4 over the purples, pinks and blues found in Halo. All I am getting at is it's an opinion and as it would seem, most of the kiddies like the colorful palette over the more real pallet of colors found in some of the PS3 games. And if you don't think the 360 has color schemes like that then you must have missed Gears...

1.13 - In Sony I trust
This is why I fuxxx with Sony. This is why I buy their consoles. Not because I'm a fanboy but because I want bang for my buck. Not RROD, not more of the same, not paying for online, and not...well you get the idea.

Sony, I never lost faith in your console. I just wish you'd release a console with some games on a set release schedule and not the multiple delays. The game drought on PS3 was rough. So happy those days are over.

2 - Let's not jump the gun folks.
These visuals we're looking at, especially when you look at the animals, are UNPRECEDENTED. Not Crysis, not Afrika, not even Wardevil with their supposed super-sophisticated 1080p 60fps engine looks close to this stuff.

It may be possible, I guess the only people that really know are the folks who are working on the machine, but with that said, why bother get hyped over this without any official word?

"It is just a demo scene from a polish codergroup called “Plastic”.
Simply a Techdemo. Nothing less and nothing more!

In other words: Nice to watch, no chance to play!"

Is it true? I dunno D:!

Same way resistance one was worked on, and all launch titles, KZ2 and FFXIII as well. GT5 even.Just because the console isn't out doesn't mean you can't make games for it :)maybe someone is making a PS4 game RIGHT NOW! =O... It will be a launch title and will blow us all away... only resulting in a delay...

Relax people(before the disagrees come) just adding some humor, I'm bored and half asleap :P

Wouldn't he be on a dev kit? And dev kits can't hook up to the PSN. You can't add or message a PSN ID thats on dev kit. It'll say the ID doesn't exist, which why we can't add or message these guys.

Example; Try to add "Sony-30" or "Sony20".

You can't....because there on dev kits.

At the moment it's all just speculation from a bunch of sources I've never even heard of. I look forward to hearing more about this, definitely, but really can't get my hopes up until official news comes, or at least something from a substantial, reputable source.

I am interested to find out more about this too but from the stills, I would say that this looks like it is on par with MGS4 and far from the sort of fidelity you get with Crisis on maxed settings. I would like to be proven wrong however and it could well look much better in motion.

Folklore, Ratchet and Clank Future, and Uncharted have a *LOT to say in favor of the color palette of PS3 games.

yes, there are games that are brown, gray, and green, but there are plenty of more colorful fare on the PS3.

it's not like the console is incapable of producing vibrant colors.

it's called artistic choice, especially in the cases of games like MGS4, and it looks like this one.

the reason why people complain about the "bland" brown, gray, and green color palette, is because the developers are all doing it the same way, in the same type of game (the gritty war game).

MGS has always used a color filter over it's games.

MGS 1 had a blue tint.
MGS2 had a blue tint in the beginning, but then a brighter tint during the Big Shell portion of the game.
MGS3 had a greenish tint, which fit with it's jungle setting.
MGS4, with it's heavy emphasis on that gritty feel of war, has a brownish, tint to it.

other games use it as a crutch to hide graphical inconsistencies. we know studios like Kojima don't skimp on that sort of thing, so it's clearly a design choice.

i don't understand the constant hate and nitpicking that's been going on with gamers these days.

you guys aren't satisfied with *ANYTHING nowadays. it's ridiculous.

i mean, god damn, i grew up playing the Atari and NES games, where we were lucky to get two or three colors out of a game, let alone Anti-Aliasing, HDR, rich color palettes, motion blur, normal-mapping, etc, and all these other graphical techniques that you haters clearly take for granted.

our options were very, *VERY limited back then.

as a result, i can appreciate some artistic license on the games that do it for that (ie, MGS4, Team Ico games, etc) , and can tell the difference when games use it as a crutch (ie, Rainbow Six Vegas, and many more).

i can look at screens of games like this and appreciate them for what they are; marvelous applications of modern day technology.

i know my fellow old school gamers understand this moreso than a lot of the younger gamers who popped their cherry on Halo on the X Box, and are used to gaming in 3D, where Atari games are an option to run on emulators in between Gears of War matches, while back in the day, we had NO CHOICE but to settle for the crap graphics of an Atari or Colecovision (which, at the time, were considered groundbreaking. of course, they *WERE, back then).

can't you guys just give credit where credit is due, even if it IS Playstation 3 related, and just say the damn screens looking wonderful. at least it'd be the truth. game or tech demo, the things that talented people can do with technology these days is absolutely ASTOUNDING.
