Amazing! Demoscene news that actually make sense!
There’s a news item on next-gen.biz on Plastic’s Linger in Shadows PS3 demo.
What is totally amazing, is that the news item does actually make sense. It does not treat the demo as a game, or as some “what the f?” thing. Kudos.
About the demo itself - I totally dig the insane amount of work put in there; but I was quite confused with “story” or “meaning”. The visuals are good, the tech is good, it is impressive, but the message of the demo I just did not get. But still great work, go Plastic!
Yes looks fantastic! I didn’t get the story too. It’s like a final scene is missing that would have cleared all up.
Kudos to Plastic (again)!
What is absolutely amazing (ok, at least for me) - it’s a presence of the “Suicide Barbie” screenshots in the same article :)
PS: and I don’t think it’s a first demo where you can’t (or not supposed) to get a “meaning” or even worse notion of “story” :)
ReJ: yeah, but it looks like Linger tries to have a story or meaning, but it slightly fails at achieving that. Or presenting that. Or it’s just me being stupid.
