Puppeteer TGS trailer

I'm sure Sony is gonna release this in that packed 3 week window in March when about 7 blockbuster games are coming out, AND they'll charge 59.99 for it.

Game looks amazing but it's going to sell like sand to an Iraqi.

Just now got around to watching this and....wow. Had to rewatched that vertical gameplay part like 3 times.

Wasn't all that crazy about this game at first, but Hype +1 after seeing this.
 
The lighting effects in this game are really annoying.

It almost seems like it could be so overdone that it might distract from the gameplay, hmm.

That is one hell of a leap to make from disliking the lighting, a bigger leap than most platformers will offer the player in fact.
 
Puppeteer: Behind The Scenes With The Weird, Wild PS3 Adventure

Why did you decide to go with a puppet theatre as your setting?
Well, I was at a Japanese puppet show, called bunraku. People were going “Wow, it’s amazing, it’s so lifelike – isn’t it amazing how they change the sets while the characters are still on stage!” And something clicked in my head. Instead of moving through the game, the game would move around you.

The other reason for setting it in a theatre – and it’s another selfish reason – is that I’d go home and want to play a game, but everyone would be in bed because we work late at Sony. I’d be sitting there and I’d clear a level and look around and want to go, ‘Look at daddy, isn’t he awesome?!’ But nobody was ever there!

But with the puppet theatre, I have a virtual audience. There’ll always be people to cheer me on. It’s nice – when you get into difficult situations, the audience reacts to what’s happening on-screen. It really helps drive your emotions as a player.

I also love that he decided to make this game to stop his son going out to play, whereas most parents want the opposite. :p
