PS3 In Game Demo

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.

If someone can translate it would be greatly appreciated!

I am a native German and can tell that this seems to be the work of a Polish Demo-Group called Plastic. Apparently they´ve been working on it for more or less 3 years, and they used to do Amiga and PC Demos before.

Yep, looks like they did a PS3 Demo... so far there seems to be only one blurry video.

Let´s hope for high quality videos or even binaries to run on any PS3 - that would very probably rock! :D

Looks nice, but unless there is dynamic lighting in those scenes, its all just prebaked lighting in which case its just nice art more than nice tech. Either way, it looks nice.

*Yawn*

What's the point. This'll never be possible in gameplay.

Seems Sony hasn't learned from their E32005 mistakes.

They say it'd make them buy a PS3...sooo...

The average person on the street is angry about this? If you're on GAF you should know better. If you're not you don't care.

demos are so 90s, they mean nothing, are worth nothing, and are just adverts to try get a job in the industry, you can do so much more in a demo than in a game, just see VIP2 demo for a great example of 90/00s demo action

edit: vip2 is still the most impressive demo0 to date IMHO, i still remember its release, and watching it on my mates pc drooling over my knees
