Debut trailer of flOw for PS3

Ó


It looks like a scene that was cut from "The Abyss" (if you remember that 1989 award-winning James Cameron film). This flOw trailer is jaw-droppingly beautiful.

We've all tried the downloadable Flash version for PC, but the PS3 version has far more depth to it in terms of graphics, ambience, and gameplay. Graphics are important; graphics help with the immersive experience, and PS3 flOw is... words fail us. Just watch the video.



The game should be released towards the end of this month.

And if you've been stuck at the bottom of some trench all these months, flOw is a game by Jenova Chen and friends (now known as thatgamecompany). It is the perfect example of what Jenova calls "flow in games" - where you just go with the flow: no real objectives, no mission to collect 42 wolf pelts, no big instruction manuals, no menus, no whatever. Just explore and get the hang of it; go with your gut instincts, grow, flow. Just flow.

» The next gen snake

This is the next gen HD version of snake... and i love it! Snake was the most addictive game ever, and i can see that this may be as addictive as snake. This graphics are stunning for a downloadable game and it gives the player a cool calm feeling cuz of the music and the way everythin just flows lol

» boring?

Its because your a 360 fanboy.

» This is waaaay better

This is far better than snake. In snake, there was no evolution, the snake just got longer. Here, your organism evolves.

» looks great

i agree with you spooks, its a great game. at first it may look a bit simple, which it is..but that is what makes it great, its a calm and relaxing game to play - i think the pc version is great. this version is much more 3d and visually better.



i winder if the motion sensor is implemented in anyway? cant wait to get this game

» What Can i Say....Beutifull

Just Beutifull



I could....Flow Like This Forever.



Again...Sony Proves It cares for Originality[Yes i know its available on other platforms] but the moment Sony Saw Flow,They Immediately Signed with Jenova to Make more Software..



I wish we Had more things Like This...The Music Is Beutifull,But Will the Average,Humberg er Eating-Pizza Loving Fella Love it...??



I Hope So...

» Motion Sensor

A representative from thatgamecompany told me you can either use the analog stick or the motion sensor.

» TGC, not Jenova

Sony signed with thatgamecompany , not Jenova, though Jenova is the Creative Director there.



And I just can't wait to play four player multiplayer!!!

This is probably my favorite feature of the game!!!!

» This looks average at best.

WHAT THE ! it looks like an updated graphic version of Asteroids or that old snake game and the graphics still look as weak as hell,Next Gen ! I dont think so and before you call me a fanboy the only machine I have is a PSP and of course the PC.

» congrats.

You used so many capitals I had to read it again to see if they spelt some secret message for the communists.

» Signs

As good as this game looks and how enjoyable the original is, is it a sign of how bad the PS3 lineup is that we look forward to a game that is over a year old and the new platform adds nothing to it?

I guess you volunteered to be that idiot huh?

Not everyone has played Flow.



Thats the point, bringing it into a bigger audience.

it looks drastically better then the flash game and looks real good too.



But I wish they would have better music. if its anything like the flash version, its kind of bland.

what the hell's the point of this game? definatly not worth 70 bucks.

by David - 2007-02-02 10:32
» Well PC

it looks drastically better then the flash game and looks real good too.



But I wish they would have better music. if its anything like the flash version, its kind of bland.





Ehh say what ? is this no better than the Flash game? are they going to charge more for it ?.
