Okay, I'm super excited about a PS3 exclusive, and it's not what you think...

So, after watching the 1UP Show this week. Here's the episode with it:

I can easily say that I am super duper excited about Flower. The music is beautiful, the visuals are amazing, and the whole experience is cohesive and breathtaking, imho. I wasn't very hyped for it, mainly because while I thought Flow was pretty cool, it just didn't have much staying power. With Flower, I know I'll play it every single week just to unwind. It's just a beauty to behold. And it's also unlike anything else out there. The visuals almost look like CG. What do you guys think?

Yup. As I've said before, it's more of an "experience" than a game, but it still has things that make it feel like you're accomplishing something, like in a game. It's just so different, and it shouldn't be looked at as a typical game, but it also shouldn't be looked down upon because of it. This will be a cheap and unique experiment that people will be able to mess aorund with. I hope more people pick it up when it hits PSN.

nah, I want Fat Princess :(Giancar

Nothing wrong with liking 'em a little big...:P

it's not a game.. just an fyi. even the devs say that.. it's basically a 15$ distraction. it is cool - but no game here.3picuri3

Yeah, we know. See my previous post. ;)

I'd rather throw a few bones at the developer and publisher for the work on it. I hate this sense of entitlement, like this and that should be free. It shouldn't I'd rather reward something neat like this.

you obviously don't know demoscene if you're thinking entitlement has anything to do with it.

and imagine how it makes people in the scene feel - all these years they've done it brilliantly for free and all of a sudden people start charging for it and try to sell it on their backs. it's bs.

it's not entitlement at all, lol. it was the spirit of the scene. the developers of demoscene used to think their work wasn't worth the cost of a game, and was meant more to be art that was freely exchanged in a digital format for people to enjoy. sony is monetizing it, and this isn't the first psn demoscene bit that charges money - it's just contrary to the spirit of the scene. call me a hippy. call me whatever, but the sense of entitlement is on the side of the people thinking their barely interactive art is deserving of 15$... and that it shouldn't just be shared like other scene works.

I'm well aware of the demoscene, and I still disagree with you. I don't care how some "cool" group feels. If someone puts their time, money, and life into something that'll give me some sort of enjoyment, then they deserve to be paid for it. I bet you'd be first in line if this were on Xbox 360...

You want stuff for free, I don't.

You are definitely overhyping it... Which you do tend to do sometimes. rolo107

No one is hyping anything. There was no score or A, AA, AAA, AAAA BS tied to my thread, so please don't fabricate what it's really about. I want the game, that is all. No hype whatsoever.

And you're not getting that it costs money to put a game on a service like PSN and XBL, not to mention the actual cost of development. This isn't an open platform like PC where you can freely upload your work for others.

How much does it cost? WAIW

[QUOTE="WAIW"]How much does it cost? Krigon

Thanks.

[QUOTE="Krigon"][QUOTE="WAIW"]How much does it cost? WAIW

Thanks.

Looks extremely boring.

And :lol: if anyone calls this "game" innovative.

To relax and enjoy it. >_>

And the purpose is to...?hopesfall2own

You just made me think of Sim City where the point is what you make it, but even that there is an underlying goal of make my city big and people happy. This is something entirely different. It's a game without conflict. Even Sim City and the Sims there is a balancing act between different pressures. Flower is... unique. To be honest it's not my cup of tea though, but it is nice to look at.
