Love it or hate it, there's no denying that
Linger in Shadows was an interesting and innovative addition to the PlayStation Network. SCEA introduced a brand new kind of real-time interactive experience to PSN users that offered some bizarre mind-expanding imagery instead of "gameplay." While
Linger in Shadows may have been the first demoscene on PSN, it's far from the last. Rusty Buchert, senior producer at Santa Monica Studios, has announced the next demoscene offering on PS3, and it looks
even more bizarre.
.deTuned comes from .theprodukkt, a team some of our readers may be familiar with due to their incredible 96kb-large FPS,
.kkrieger.
.deTuned looks to be a truly different experience, allowing users to create their own visuals based on music stored on the PS3's hard drive. Using the SIXAXIS, players will be able to manipulate the scene and even the music they play. It sounds like a rather intriguing concept, and we certainly want to see it in action.

Sounds Trippy, I'll get this day one, no gameplay vids needed here.

I thought L.I.S. was awesome. Though it isnt part of the discussion, Flower was damn brilliant too. I am all for trippy artsy type games. It is worth a few sheckles just to see how powerful the PS3 really is, and how deep a dev's imagination can run.

I'll buy every single demoscene production that hits the PS3 sight unseen. I think it's high time these talented people make a few dollars from their art. I'm also glad (still) that SCEA Santa Monica has the guts to bring us interesting content like this. Only on Playstation indeed.

if they keep the price low it's a no question purchase from me, i'll just lump it with my LBP purchases

I hope this includes interesting trophies like Linger in Shadows and Noby Noby Boy had that encourage experimentation.

This will be pretty interesting. Besides, I'm sure easy Trophies are appreciated by everyone ;)

Andrew, these non-interactive audio-visual presentations are called demos, not demoscenes. The demoscene is the name of the subculture that produces these demos.
