Echochrome. If THIS isn't 4D, then what is it?

It's just mind bending 3D. An illusion if you will.

Interesting. If Escher was still alive, this game would make him stinking rich.

Each point is at multiple places in 3D space at the same time.

Thus, there's a new dimension. This game is 4D. You can't win with linear 3D thinking.

Not to sound offensive or anything, but how the hell do you think that has any relation to 4D?

It's 2d because you watch it on a 2d screen. But it's trying to give you the illusion of a cool 3d.

Even if something is in 16D..(which I doubt will be possible...at all) the human can't see beyond 3d (unless you're some weird ass dude)....I don't think it's realistically or virtually possible.

Yep...since we live in our three dimensional world, we can't percieve of objects or anything that may exist in any higher dimensions. We might see projections of those objects into our own dimension, but it'd still only look three dimensional to us.

So all this talk about 4D gaming is a waste of time. We're perfectly fine dealing with good old 3D stuff.

5D is time travel.

The fifth dimension is where massless particles (like the photon) have their mass. It's only not visible to us because of it's compactness.

I don't see how you can put 4D in a video game. Time, while being a spacial dimension (to most people's opinions, anyway) isn't in anyway integratable in a game... As far as I know. (this doesn't mean games can't have time-based events though :P)

That isn't 4d. Its 3d abstraction. Just becuause he steps through warp holes and you can turn the map to by pass obstacles, it isnt 4d.

It looks insanely cool though. Is it for PSN?

I wouldn't go so far to say this game introduces a new dimension... But it does look like a very interesting game. I love puzzle games, I'll defiantly be buying this on the PSN.

I was just playing on the fact that Sony basically delivered on every promise (ex: Killzone)

Now teh Cell and 4D are true too.

The Fourth Dimension is time and space. Because those objects are in two places in technically the same time, this is a "4d" illusion. To the person who said 16D, we do not know if that even exists in this universe. The most we can theorize is up to 10D. You cannot have an infinite number of infinite possibilities...it is just redundant.

Nice little dumbed down animation for those who have trouble understanding how dimensions work.

Do you not get it? That game is NOT 4D. We cannot perceive 4D images in the three dimensional world we live in.

4D can be actual 4D, not just time itself.

This is how it will be, but I don't think anyone here will be able to imagine it.

The process:

There are theories of upto 11 dimensions. Search on string theory if you are interested. Its all mind boggling.

4D = Time, right? So that means that players are already experiencing 4D as they wait for the games to come out.

We can perceive 3D on 2D screen, so why not 4D in 3D on a 2D screen? Our brain fills in the blanks.

You'd need a 3D screen to perceive a 4D 'shadow'. 3D objects represented in 2D are really only Shadows (Mario has no depth, it just looks like it). An object of 4 Dimensions projected down to a shadow would require a 3D screen or hologram.

By the way, this game better have more pleasant graphics and more depth to its gameplay or it will be very, very boring. This can be done on the PSP, DS, even the GBA for goodness sake.
