Another ringer. I'll get this.

 

[Lain]

Bound looks better than it ever did, based on that trailer.

 

[Creamium]

Press B to Ballet.

Loving the art style, animations look great.

So august is No Man's Sky, this and Abzu? Stylish month.

three perfect birthday presents for myself.. nearing the evil 30th birthday, and i need some chill games

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Yeah, this looks beautiful and I'm a fan of Plastic (I liked Datura in particular), so I'm definitely on board. The animations in particular are gorgeous.

 

[jet1911]

Amazing animations and concept.

 

[Clear]

For sure.

I'm glad to see Plastic continuing to evolve their work; they were always one of the more interesting scene groups, check out Final Audition(2005) , Into The Pink(2008) or 195\195(2005) as they are all terrific.

 

[Lime]

For sure.

[emb]

Well this looked cool.

 

[Bomb-Threat]

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

hnnnnggg the animation and music

 

[Kaako]

They delivered beyond what I hoped with the animations for this baby. That footwork!
This looks absolutely beautiful and is gonna surprise quite a few people I feel.

[AudioEppa]

When the music started I'm like ok I'm into this

Then the gameplay started and I was like I'll pass, but as I continued watching, it became more interesting. A price and actual story will determine if it's a buy.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

All of the music in the game is composed by this guy I believe:

Full trailer track is here:

Should have an awesome OST

 

[thelastword]

Looks amazing, great IQ, animation is stellar. Hope it's 60fps.

Simply stunning! Thanks for posting these.

 

[Kinyou]

The music is just amazing, and the whole style, wow. Can't wait for this.

 

[wumster3000]

This is why MS loses the game war. Games like this validate my reasons for purchasing a Playstation. They really have a lot of unique experiences.

 

[OnPoint]

I will play this on release.

Soon please.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I agree completely

 

[Shin-Ra]

Looks like they sorted my niggle with the shadow quality.

Looks spectacular with the extra refinement.

 

[Saladinoo]

Damn that looks (and sounds) beautiful! Wondering what it'll be like to play, coming from the "Linger in Shadows" developers and all.

 

[Shin-Ra]

There's new screenshots on the game's mini-site and Santa Monica Studio's site but the JPEG quality's awful.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Showfloor gameplay videos by Gamersyde:

I'd watch the second video first, it's got a better intro and shows more platforming variety.

 

[Vilam]

Really enjoyed this when I played it at PSX - was the surprise hit of the show for me. I'll be there day one.

 

[mckmas8808]

Looks just soooo good.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Will we reveal a face from under the mask, or is the mask a face?!

 

[Atrophis]

For sure.

Oh they are a demoscene group? No wonder the visuals and music are incredible. Some of the best animations I've ever seen! What a month August is, this and ABZU.

Please Sony, release the soundtrack.

 

[Broadbandito]

wowowow How did I miss this?!

 

[Espada]

I just saw that trailer and my god, this is even more stunning that what we saw months ago at PSX. Sony really needs to spend a bit more time to spotlight these gems they have, they are something else indeed.

The mother's design alone is awesome.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I found some less, but still heavily compressed screenshots on eu.playstation.com

 

[Lime]

There's my wallpaper right there!

 

[Creamium]

Wooow, those shots. This game's aesthetic is out of this world. Getting it day one for sure.

There's my wallpaper right there!

Added bonus, they're indeed perfect wallpapers!

 

[karasu]

I have a weakness for dance so this is definitely going on the list.

 

[AngerdX]

Bought, quite simply stunning.

 

[dmshaposv]

The game looks and sounds awesome - but any gameplay vids?

 

[Jonneh3003]

Sony should have had a longer conference to include this, Gravity Rush 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and so on. There are so many games we know about but have hardly seen anything of.

 

[DangerMouse]

Bound has PS VR support also : http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/06/13/playstation-e3-2016-press-conference-recap/#sf28660286

That's amazing.

Just in awe at this.

 

[Stairouais]

Looks fantastic. I don't know why it makes me think of pn03 but I'm in day one.

 

[Generic Power Ranger]

Looks amazing

 

[Deft Beck]

I wonder if we'll see some behind-the-scenes for the motion capture.

 

[Majmun]

Beautiful

And great music.

 

[Raylan]

It really does look beautiful

 

[SomTervo]

Very nice.

Ballet as platforming and combat - ingenious

 

[Shibalan]

This is why MS loses the game war. Games like this validate my reasons for purchasing a Playstation. They really have a lot of unique experiences.

I don't care about this nonsensical war but yeah, this is why I deeply respect Sony. Bound, Journey, Unfinished Swan, Hohokum, Dreams... They are actively supporting and promoting this kind of alternative experiences. Even if they are not commercial successes.

Listen to Yoshida or Shahid, they really love that kind of content, without irony. And this is incredibly refreshing in this industry. It also lead to some incredible games, and it became part of the PlayStation DNA, imo.

 

[BriareosGAF]

and she does it as a little dance on half-toes. (All my ballet glossary has bled out my ears over the years, unfortunately, heh.)

She's in releve in a few places, doing bourree as she's creeping along the wall (and in other places), jetes here and there for the jumps. Has her legs arranged slightly oddly in a few places, but this is pretty interesting to see, will definitely be picking this up. I used to beg the folks I knew at Haromnix to do a Dance Central that was all about ballet.

Minor quibble, the leggings look less like warmers a dancer would wear and more like a stocking trope.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Look what I found!

[ghibli99]

Oh man, this looks gorgeous.

Where were these games at Sony's presentation? I know they need to show the heavy hitters, but games like this go a long way in showing the depth of variety and styles on the system. No matter... definitely gonna pick this up!

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Yeah this looks gorgeous, visually maybe my most anticipated VR game now. Imagining the large scale in-hmd and seeing all those undulating surfaces gives me goosebumps. This is gonna be a trippy experience in the best way possible.
