Linger in Shadows - Amazing Realtime Demo on PLAYSTATION 3

[MrVorhees]

A website known as 4Sceners have uploaded an image gallery of screen caps they received when they viewed an amazing in-game demo on the PlayStation 3. They said the game's graphics were truly in-game and looked better than Crysis, KILLZONE 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4.

The translation is rough, but they describe the video as opening up with the PlayStation 3 logo showing. The video is called Linger in Shadows. They say the experience was so intense. The gallery features many animals, such as a huge cat showing near a Greek temple, and a dog. They say the quality is something to be desired. We have no idea if this is a game, because of translation. But if you could help us out, here is the original link.

Yes its ingame and Xenusion was named as well, a graphic designer at Crytek who also involved Crysis.

Its hard to translate all this stuff but the guys who watched the demo said "im gonna get a PS3 right now" the masterpiece is called "Linger in the Shadows"

Its something wich really use the powerfull hardware of the PS3.

Very interesting. You can see it says © 2008 Sony Computer Entertainment something at the bottom of the second pic there.

Wait and see, huh.

[jkwest]

[MrVorhees]

Just to clarify , its NOT real time render footage, its realtime footage.

God I hope so. They do make revolutionary games.

Whatever the hell this is, i'm psyched.

[BluRayExplosion]

Lol I was really excited when you said it was in-game. (Thought you meant rendered live). Looks interesting though. Can someone tell me who Team Ico is? I've been hearing about them a lot and I'm pretty sure they have a church opening up in my neighborhood.

No its from "Plastic"

Es hatte etwas Geheimnisvolles an sich, als auf der Breakpoint 2008 Bonzaj, von der polnischen Demogruppe Plastic, kurz vor Start der wichtigen Amiga- und PC-Demo-Wettbewerbe noch einmal die Bühne betrat. Mit wenigen Worten dankte er den Organisatoren der Party und murmelte in seinem gebrochenen Englisch: "This one's for you!". Was dann folgte, ließ einem den Atem stocken und erklärte, warum Plastic in den letzten drei Jahren keine Demo veröffentlicht haben.

Das Logo von Sony und der Playstation 3 leuchtete auf. Was dann folgte, hätte sogar Solid Snake vor Neid erblassen lassen. Es war ein Erlebnis, als würden fr-041: debris und Lifeforce gleichzeitig gezeigt werden - nur noch viel intensiver. Monumental ist nur ein Superlativ um das Debütwerk von Plastic auf der PS3 zu beschreiben.

google translation:

There was something mysterious in itself, as on the Breakpoint 2008 Bonzaj, from the Polish demogroup Plastic Group, just before starting the major Amiga and PC-Trial competitions again entered the stage. With few words, he thanked the organizers of the party and muttered in his broken English: "This one's for you!". What then followed was a breath enlarge and explained why Plastic in the last three years not a demo published.

The logo and the Sony PlayStation 3 shone. What then followed, Solid Snake would even turn pale with envy. It was an experience, as if fr-041: Life Force and debris at the same time show - only much more intense. Monumental is only a superlative to the work of Plastic debut on the PS3 to describe.

The whole text goes like that, that guys who wrote that article sounded very enthusiastic about this.

here are some informations about "Plastic"

They made Ico and Shadow of Collosus on PS2 and are currently working on a pa3 game only known as Team Ico Project.

The ps2 games they've made are some of the most beautiful and baddest ass games on the planet.

a comment on it..

The thing that they are showing is a demo, not a game at all.

It's by the demogroup Plastic.

And basicly a demo is a animation except run real-time with a focus on effects. Basicly, it would run like a game would, 3D and all, except you can't actually play it.

It was showed at a demoparty called breakpoint yesterday. No full video or download exists for it yet.

Just so you know.

:dunno: lets see it in action

The Making Of "Shadow Of The Colossus"

Team Ico's very technologically innovative and stylistically unique so anything out of the ordinary seems to cause people to mention their name.

@ xtop

So it's kinda like that FF7 PS3 Tech demo they did? So it IS rendered real time... interesting...

[player2006911]

wow those graphics seem to surpass an unnamed game that quite a few think ps3 can't run, guess only time will tell if this is very near future graphical quality?

News has just hit the internet about a “in-game” demo that is “amazing” running on the PS3. This game seems to be the game that had a BBC reporter blown away.

4Sceners has uploaded an image gallery of screen caps of the video they were shown.

Not much is known yet about LingerInShadows. Hit the jump for a scoop you will ONLY read at Sev1512…

As many of you know Sev1512 has some friends on the inside…

Earlier this month I noticed a dev, on my friends list playing a game that I didn’t recognize. This game was LingerInShadows… I know its a game, because it had a PS controller/game icon, next to the title. I asked this dev what the game was, but never got a response.

So you heard it here first. LingerInShadows is not just a technical demo. Its a game, and I am being as bold as to say its the game that had a BBC reporter “speechless“

"you heard it here first" yeah right

[ezcobar411]

This game really looks great. I believe that it is actually a game. Hopefully we'll hear something at e3.

[Shin-Ra]

If there's no identifier in the System Software yet for launched realtime apps other than games of course it would show up with a game controller icon for people with you in their friends list.

First Tiny Look At Linger In Shadows, A Mysterious Real Time PlayStation 3 Demo

SCEA applied for the Linger In Shadows trademark in November last year.

Other Breakpoint attendees teased via the Pouet.net forums that it would be somehow playable and that Linger In Shadows was one of multiple demoscene projects commissioned by Sony. We're looking into it further to learn more about the project.

[MrVorhees]

To all the sceptical ppl, high definition video of the demo is now online go watch and --->
