Ok. I'm trying to break away from posting new stuff in the PS3 Discussion thread, as I don't want it to turn into a giant cluttered heap of shit like the last one. Even so, I was a little confused on what to do with this one, since this isn't technically a game - but more of an interactive screen saver.
Anyways. I just saw all of this over at NeoGAF.
It's an interactive screen saver designed for use with the PlayStation Eye. This doesn't seem to be anything like Loco Roco Cocorecco, as that was more of a mini game than a screen saver. It's supposed to be available on the PSN Store sometime after the PlayStation Eye is released. Basically, you set up the PlayStation Eye, sit down on your couch, guide a flock of birds through a giant piece of old Japanese art, and then fall into a deep sleep  .Purdy screens: Spoiler:
Even so, I thought it was totally cool and absolutely loved the whole idea. I would come home from class and take an hour nap to this thing. That is if all of my roomates aren't currently ranking up my guy in Warhawk.... What do you guys think? Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

This is the kind of content that the PlayStation Store/Xbox Live Marketplace/WiiWare need, because it gives developers a chance to do these experimental projects that wouldn't be funded, otherwise. The only thing that bothers me about this particularly is the whole "interactive screensaver" bit (I understand that's the premise of the whole thing, though). LocoRoco Cocoreccho! (the other PSN title that was described as an "interactive screensaver") is going for $7 on the PlayStation Store.
In terms of price, that's definitely pushing it. You could argue, though, that the Wii Virtual Console isn't really offering much for $7 (SNES games, I think?) in comparison. The PlayStation Store, luckily, isn't like Xbox Live Marketplace where the cheapest price out there is $5. There are a few games available for $3, which is great. I guess the quality is questionable when you're playing something so cheap, though. But, yeah, there's a definite need for these more -- what you would generally associate as "indie" or off-beat -- games available as downloadable titles. How ya doing, buddy? |

This looks nice, I also hope it will work without PlayStation Eye. I'm not planning to get Eye, since the only game I've seen for it is some queer card shit.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. Nothing wrong with not being strong
Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of |

Yeah, I guess the two things that are going to truly impact my decision on this is the price and if it requires the PlayStation eye :/.
I think I would be willing to pay about $6.99 for this. It seems like I'll use it enough to justify the price, anyways. I also want it to BE A REAL SCREENSAVER. When I leave my PS3 idle on the XMB for about 5-10 mins, I would much rather have this shit kick in then have the screen simply go dim. Hell, I THINK when they first announced Loco Roco, they said in an interview that the 'game' would start up if the system was left idle, and you could just watch them bounce around and do there thing, but I have yet to actually see that :/. Maybe screen savers will be implemented in a future firmware update. Who knows... What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

I'll definitely pick that up. I'll be getting Eye of Judgment when it comes in so I'll have the Eye already set in place.
And you know, I know the game looks pretty queer, but Eye of Judgment was a lot of fun when I played it at the GameStop Conference last month. I sat down and played with one of their product managers and played two or three rounds with him. It's a really fun distraction from games like Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden, etc. Hopefully some of you GFF PS3 owners will pick this up so we can do some online matches.

I tried this months back and the visual style and execution is impeccable. It's completely useless, but it's a very, very beautiful kind of useless. Controlling the crows around took some getting used to, but it's all very strangely serene and hypnotic. Then the bizarro extra visual effects kicked in and I went to play more Pain.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?  |
