Dunno if VentureBeat posted this a little early or something, but they appeared to be at some Sony event, possibly for NGP, and they've posted a video of conversation with Johnathan Mak - the guy who made Everyday Shooter. He's discussing his next project, Sound Shapes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQJUmXfit9Q edit - video's been made private

He describes it as a musical platformer, where every element in a level produces an element of music. He appears to say you can make and share songs/levels with other players. It's being published by Sony as a launch window title, apparently.

Oh finally, I can say that this sounds totally nuts! It was killing me! When we had Nathan from Capy on the podcast, he was so excited about this

Edit: Takahashi, this hasn't been a great few weeks for you, has it?

Well, shit. Everyday Shooter is the reason I bought a PS3 (yeah, I know...).

Looks like I'll be getting the NGP after all.

Great idea for a game. And as I love Jonathan's first game (have it on PS3/PSP/PC) I'll buy this in a heartbeat.

I love that Sony is publishing games like this. Seems like a perfect fit for a handheld, too.

Guess it was early then...

Sort of sounding like some kind of ngp embargo is expiring today. Supposedly we're due new Uncharted info today, BigBigStudios is relaunching their site today, then this video suggesting Sony had a pre-E3 event.

Hope so! It would kind of make sense for Sony to get a headstart on other pubs with their NGP line-up, spotlight it now, then leave E3 itself to highlight third party games.

Previews starting to roll in.

http://ie.psp.ign.com/articles/117/1172002p1.html

The PlayStation NGP has a pretty strong launch lineup, including one very big surprise: Sound Shapes. The puzzle/platformer comes from Queasy Games -- creators of Everyday Shooter -- and is like Lumines meets N+. Sound Shapes is inventive, addictive, and clever. And it impressed me more than Uncharted: Golden Abyss on NGP.

So is this a downloadable game? If so, I guess Sony is going to be pushing PSN games for the PSVita starting day one. Imo this is a good thing.

Awesome. I've been waiting for something that isn't a spin-off of a major franchise to get me excited for the NGP. This definitely did the trick.

Alright. Now this is the first game that really makes me want the system. Or the only game that makes me want the system as of now. Looks damn cool and perfect for handheld.
