PS3 Exclusive - bizarre new game called The Night Journey

[shoplifting1is1fun]

This game looks great though, I love games that try something new. Like the guy below says, it keeps things interesting.

[upyours192]

This reminds me of The Void.

Drugs..

UltraSound?

[brian14021994]

so you look around and do no shit, i aint gonna buy this kind of crap

[Robertbedlam]

This isn't a real game. It's somebody screwing about with video footage and other media. It looks terrible.

[enterfailedment]

Fuck me, overuse of motion-blur much?? Stinks of lazy

[hibber25]

I'd like to think about games as art. But this is like the abstract art I've grown to hate (A LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CANVAS IS NOT ART DAMNIT!!). The amount of motion blur is disorienting. How slowly the character appears to move and turn is just too slow. There's no colors, no music (random ambient single flute notes are not music). It just looks soulless and unfinished. Maybe if I could see the landscape clearly I might "hmm... that's kind of pretty I guess." There's too much going against it

[RadicalDreamer17]

@hibber25

Modern art can be so difficult to understand (I myself didn't either during my first years of studying it)...

You think a line in the middle of a canvas (or a blank canvas) isn't art... but it's all about the artist expressing whatever is in his mind (the blank canvas can represent the void for example). That's what make something art... and that's why the notion can seem so vague nowadays (I mean, I saw guys exposing random items in a museum and the public was totally fooled).

[hibber25]

@RadicalDreamer17 the example I used isn't even the worst one. There was a musical composer who locked himself in an isolation chamber for a peroid of time. When he came out, he "wrote" a symphony that contained NO music whatsoever. He even went so far as to have an orchestra perform the song. The orchestra didn't play a single note. What really irks me is that these artists get so much praise for doing so little. -_- Abstract art just doesn't sit right with me

[shoplifting1is1fun]

@hibber25

Yeah, I mean really anything that is a creative expression is art. That doesn't mean it's necessarily good, or requires any effort. Which is why most abstract art is shit. (e.g. dropping a bucket of paint on a canvas and calling it 'deep')

[darbeenbo]

meh. Tone down the motion blur and provide a bit more contrast and I think the effect would be stronger.

[Juggernaughty824]

kinda reminds me of Osmose... don't tell me they are really from the same developer... lolz

[RockMan356]

Imagine playing this while taking LSD

[MrGamerMan64]

WTF?

[FawkkYoCouch]

LOL the title was cut short and said: "PS3 Exclusive - bizarre new game called The Nig..." i'm sorry i know it's immature and kind of HELLA RACIST, but still hilarious... again sorry if this offends anyone because i'm sure it will... title fails

[dealboi44]

@FawkkYoCouch

lol its why i clicked on it

[gjones99169916]

WT DOUBLE FUCK

[SDKfilmproduction]

wow, this looks incredible. A big fan of Viola's video art btw.

[Cachicochip]

Collector's Edition will come with the soundtrack CD, an artbook, and a Psilocybin Mushroom.

[GoodApolloIV23]

@Cachicochip hahaha i wish that was true

[RebDT]

And here I thought I was playing video games because they were a fun and great way to entertain myself. I'm sure the fact that I started playing Super Mario World when 3 is likely to impress someone now that I know it's art.

[CustardGanet]

Is this available on the PS store to download?

[Drukonis]

This is a crazy Idea. Love it

[TheSciFiCat]

This is why video games offer a new, deeper way to interact with an artist's creation. What other medium could allow an artist to create a world for the viewer to step into and explore on by its own accord?

[Muffinman3670]

If you watch this at night alone you get scared like I am right now.:(

[waj9876]

Is this a disc game or a downloadable one?

[l3gza]

it brings back a many funz game of 98's "LSD"

google "lsd video game" for inf

[mariomrh]

no se si me comprare este juego.... no me gustaria matar a alguien cuando lo termine jejjejej

[icketypickety]

is this coming out on pc?

[Norakeybladehero71]

@icketypickety Didnt you notice the analog, its for the ps3. O_o

[TheWakkyTank]

I was looking for the game Journey, by the guys that made Flower, and this is what I get... wtf?

[boogysplit]

@TheWakkyTank haha me too.

[kalapariplayer]

it was kind of....disturbing but it looks interesting...

[qxqx4]

So its kinda like the game LSD: Dream Emulator. But black and white and not as bizarre. 

[raydalf1]

Its so refreashing to have such a new and unique game but i dont like the blured effect it has. I know its what the experience is supposed to be but i wanna be able to experience it all clearly

[jahseedbeatz504]

WTF?!

[AudioCorps]

why have i never seen this game o_O

[Wolfdie]

What the hell is this? and why is it I can't stop looking at it?

[connersafford]

i dont even think this is for real

[djdevil0000]

Holy Shit!

[captionloken]

Fucking A

[fnogyrabyore]

fuck!!!!why the hell would anybody even think to play that dumbass shit not even if i was high.

[Jazalicious]

Shame! THIS kind of comment is why video games aren't considered art yet. THIS kind of game is what the art form needs!

[RadicalDreamer17]

@Jazalicious

I know. Some people just can't comprehend that video games don't need to be all about shooting people/monsters in the face.

Oh well, I'm still glad there are creative people out there who are willing to take the videogame support and do something interesting with it (let's face it, this medium needs creativity more than any others... or it will become boring *says a blasé RPG fan*) instead of doing the same things over and over again.

[jadco]

not even a game to me looks like a trick of sony shits and all so idk this is really bizarre that i would have to make a new word c - c - c - CREPBIZLY creppy=CREP bizarre=BIZLY

[calditou]

god just say you don't like it, why do you have to be stupid and say shit about a new word and shit? that's so american

[videoslacker]

@calditou Funny you should say that when the guy who designed this little game is American.

[phunkaizer]

@videoslacker Bill Voila probably is ashamed of that.

[benmcdonald07]

@jadco get a fuckin grip

[Jezza1337]

this is waaay too creepy for me but its still freaking cool

[Aventerica]

This is weird, I don't understand it's purpose

[KAMlKRAZE]

This doesn't even look like a game, if so then a game I wouldn't want to play. From how gay it looks I think it was really suppose to be for the Xbox.

[leitegabriel]

fanboy.

[FlorenceEatmore]

is this released.?

[salomon311]

The last 2 minutes are amazing. The part where the man is walking (8:25) and you see his shadow is unlike any other game out there (if it's actually gameplay). It's a little touch but it adds so much. The owl's eye is pretty cool too. I hope this actually gets release ala flOw.

[Domarius64]

The last two minutes are actually videos, probably videos you unlock after "reflecting" on particular scenes. Some of them were overlayed over the gameplay during the game as he "reflected" with the X button.

This is an interesting new use for "games", as a relaxation tool, not as a challenge or anything like that.

[ilovemarlboro]

Ma? Ma?

Omg! This must be heaven!

This game rocks! It takes you to the sky...

But honestly its really drop dead boring!

[jizzking]

looks gay..this game looks like its for ppl who want to get "high" virtually...gay!!!

[Naaiif]

Woooah imagined playing this stoned...

[xjaskix]

jeeez.. and some say videogames can't be art.

cool shit.

[johnkollor]

creepy

[gregerusa]

PS3 needs to start coming out with better games or more people will switch to Wii and Xbox

[RobertPLWitek]

there is a game on PS one called LSD - Dream Emulator... I think this is something similar (or sequel)

[ziva80]

Reminds me of Donkey Kong. Way to rip off a classic, Mr. Viola! Still that was great when the monkey threw that barrel. I could watch that over and over.

[megalowho]

wow that looks pretentious

[Reesimo]

I wonder if it's gonna be on the PSN. Maybe it's a variation on themes from flow.

[joeyis]

ähm its pretty.. pretty boring xP

[Dolphgb]

It does look weird... it reminds me of a game from back in the late 80's which was a text-based adventure 'journey' and didn't really have any definable goal... if you're in to this kind of thing it could be an interesting trip, but I think it'll go straight past most gamers...

[1EPowerUp]

@Dolphgb are you referring to stork?

[omnislaassh20]

bizarre is right. I dont get this game...but it looks cool.
