TGS07: fl0w team's next game, fl0wer
It's amazing to see what adding two letters to the end of a word can do. thatgamecompany, creators of the fan-favorite fl0w, is working on a brand new project. Not much is know about the new project, but considering the unique atmosphere created by the team's previous endeavors, we're excited to see what they can bring to the table.

What do you mean Solar? It has characters (the amoebas), enemies (the other creatures) levels (the different depths) objectives to pass said levels (eat stuff and become stronger). Its not a conventional game by any means but its stl a game that you play.

Flow's not a game?
You play as a creature, eat items and other creatures and go up and down levels.
Sounds like a game to me, even though it's quite unconventional (and even a bit trippy!) :D
Obviously this Flower video is not a gameplay video, but just a visual teaser. I really like the atmosphere, it will be interesting to see what the developer does with it.

Wow...that looks frigging cool.
Looks like a tech demo.
Whatever it is, I want it.

Does it matter if it's not a game? It looks incredible. I'd gladly pay for an experience as beautifully elegant as that.

Great, the people heralded as extreme innovators are now stuck on their name-sake. Honestly, I like flow, but I think this is a bit cheap of them. I'd rather have an entirely unrelated, different, non-similar game.

Ummm i dont get it.... :( looks ok but i really dont know what im looking for in this game.

I think it'll be a shooter. Flowers will stalk other flowers, armed with pistils. Much like Haze, it'll be all about the nectar.
I predict there will be a lot of buzz around this game.

@8: hahah...let the bad puns begin.

Flow is a non-game. Is this one a non-game too? It doesn't look like it could possible have any gaming elements to it from the teaser.

You dont want to be watching that after you've had a few beers! Or if you have motion sickness.

Playing flOw as I type this, I love the game. I use it to gently calm me down after a heavy Warhawk session so I can sleep properly... god damn cluster bombs!!!

WARNING: NOT RECCOMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3
Thats the warning I got on my PS3 HDMI cable. I don't know too many 3 year olds with a PS3 let alone use for an HDMI cable. Yes I know they can hurt themselves but cmon this is getting a little ridiculous.
Pistils...somebody actually payed attention in Biology. Good on ya.

The visuals totally yell "Cloud" to me, which is what I'd wish for: A PS3 version of "Cloud"...
Can't wait to see what thatgamecompany has up their sleeves for this one, which I can tell may be even more peaceful than flOw.
