PS Blog: Linger in Shadows Coming Oct 9th, and New Details

Rusty Butcher @ PS Blog Writes:

Hi all, my name is Rusty Buchert and I am the Sr. Producer for Linger in Shadows. Some of you may have heard about it already from coverage here and there, but there are a lot of questions surrounding this unique title. It will be releasing on the PlayStation Network on October 9, so I wanted to explain today about what Linger is and what it isn't. I'll start with the easier side, and that is Linger in Shadows is NOT a game. It was never meant to be a game and it will never be a game. Yes it has trophies, but it still isn't a game and I'll explain why a little later on.

So then, what the heck is it? There are a few different answers to that question and I'm going to try and cover them here. So here is the short version and then I'll ramble on in more detail. Linger in Shadows was created by Plastic, from the demoscene. It is an experiment with the demoscene and it is an experiment in Interactive Digital Art.

im not sure they said its not a game but more of an interactive scene thing. They are trying to get you to look what beyond in this game, i hope this isnt more then 10bucks then cause i thougnt it was a game where you could move around.

you can move around. It is a "experiential" title that focuses on the player "exploring the beautifully rendered environments". This makes me believe that you will have full control of some entity and be able to fly (possibly... from what I've seen of the gameplay videos) around the landscape.

...why don't you just read the blog? The first thing he says is, "this is not a game". Then he goes on to explain what it is. So before you start rambling with questions, do us all a favor an read the article. This reply is not just directed to you, but to everyone that jumps the gun with their b'tchin' and whinin' without even reading the first sentence of the article their criticizing.

I'll probably get it.. If it is interactive art, then it's something that after I collect all of the trophies for, I can just leave on in the background to look pretty :D

really does depend on how much it costs....£5 ($10) is to much for what is not really a game.

9 - I will get this day one

I loved the demoscene, but I didn't get into it until 1993. My first PC was filled with demos when I was just a young lad* wipes tear from eye*. Sony just has to make sure that they price it so that it's affordable for someone to try it out, and maybe more demos will come to PSN. I have to give credit where credit is due though, Sony continues to bring creative titles to the PSN like flow, flower, echochrome, and now this.

This garbage better be free because that looks like all its worth.

Nah, they are busy bending your mom's hairy ass over and sticking it to her.

Your mom is like a PSN game, cheap, fun for a few minutes but then you just want to remove her from your hard drive.
