Title: Linger in Shadows
Post by: Jared C on December 26, 2008, 09:00:35 PM
I just bought, from the playstation store, the experimental interactive artwork, Linger in Shadows.   I thought it was pretty interesting.

Short clip: http://kotaku.com/372172/watch-the-linger-in-shadows-ps3-demo

It's pretty cool for just $3.00

it looks really interesting.  to what extent is it interactive, though?

You have to watch about 1 minute scenes, and then you have rewind, find the things that are interactive in each shot, and then sort of override a bar at the very top by moving the interactive object enough.

It has a really interesting use of six-axis.

you watch what is apparently a movie, but within each movie are elements you can manipulate. by manipulating them (and you have the ability to rewind and fast-forward to help you find them) you can find routes that take you deeper into the story, such that it is.

The manipulating is kind of tacked on and it's more of a tech demo for something that will never happen.

Other than that it's pretty cool though.

We bought this too (got ourselves a PS3 for Christmas :) ). It's really very good. If you like to be confused and mesmerized like we do.

It's not really a movie since you can rotate the camera around a bit and move individual objects around. I suspect it is a more or less linear sequence rendered in realtime 3D. I find the experimental interaction refreshing, actually. It's nice to be controlling something other than an avatar for a change.
