Yay for tech demos on consoles that have been out for 6 years already?
dairyqueenlatifah
A tech demo that was made over a year ago, running on six year old hardware

You know, when you take that all into account, this is actually quite impressive. Shame no actual, playable console games that have come out this gen actually look that good in play.

utter wank

So did Cage steal this dreck or hire the guy that made it?

Either way, nothing positive is said about the man.

riedquat
We need ideas for our tech demo!

Hey why not make a subservient artificial woman that guys can hump and who sings Sakura Sakura in the voice of a child

Needs a 'nerds fucking suck' tag
Caminante Nocturno
Ha ha ha, you were offended by a video game.

riedquat
Video games are fucking offensive, in the main

Gmork
"riedquat" stop being so repugnant and stupid.

Meatsack Jones
I really liked it. Better than about all the games in the past 3 years.
Caminante Nocturno
Except Portal 2.

Meerkat
Would have been better if the guy had said "Simulated emotional responses check." at the end instead.
Adham Nu'man
PMS MODE, ACTIVE.

StanleyPain
I really enjoyed Nomad Soul, but I think since then David Cage has just gotten more and more delusional about his abilities as a game developer and storyteller. This short is entertaining, but is sort of symptomatic of that.
theSnake
The submitter seems to not know the difference between a game and a movie. Don't worry though, there are a lot of people like you, and you are well catered to these days.
erratic
thank you

Old_Zircon
This Interstella 5555 reboot does not look like an improvement.
Caminante Nocturno
Is she stuck with that hair, or can I get her something nicer looking?

All I'm saying is that for the price you're asking, I'd better have a lot of modding options.
Sputum
The most derivative android story ever told in CGI that isn't even terribly impressive by today's standards. Hoorah!
NewHeavenSalesman
+1 for me bursting out laughing when the TIME TO FEEL AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE music started to swell up as the robot arms started to strip the robot lady.
Caminante Nocturno
Imagining the operator laughing as the robot girl pleads for her life is pretty funny.

this isnt art it's hollywood
SteamPoweredKleenex
It can be considered art, but it's not a video game. At best, it's a cutscene.

Chalkdust
jesus, it's gotten to the point where it's as contentious to try and define what a 'game' is as it is to define what 'art' is

sosage
Compared to "Art", "Game" is very easy to define. This isn't "Game". No one is controlling anything. There's no gameplay going on. It isn't even pretending to be interactive.

Most "Games are art" proponents have the right intentions, but they constantly push cut scenes and traditional narrative devices used in a game to make their points. They never dig for the expressive examples within the gameplay design itself. The interactive expression. It's the one thing this medium is defined by and does exclusively. Either these specific beard stroking "games are art, here's a cut scene to prove it" people don't think people outside the medium will understand interactive expression...or the worse scenario...they themselves don't understand it and can only point to cut scenes, art direction and music as the obvious signs game is art.

in other words...BLARG

Udderdude
"Rules as art" doesn't have the same ring to it. Also they can't mastrubate to it as hard.

Gmork
sosage: one game that did it well was uncharted 2, as far as making the cinematic cutscenes actually do-or-die and player-controlled. You raise a valid point that the only way game developers think they can make a 'breakthrough' artsy game is to have the best cutscenes. Nobody seems to remember that gameplay can be just as engaging and useful as a storytelling medium (and not just some douche in a radio feeding you flavor text).

lordyam
this ghost in the shell opening isnt as cool as teh first one, and the soundtrack sucks
Spaceman Africa
I like how the computer guy is some nerd who calls the robots things like "baby" and "honey."

"Games can't be art hur durf!" SolRo typed, smug in his belief that surely, this would show all of those "casuals" and "sexhavers" that video games could be important.

He sagged wearily in his chair. Oh to bear the weight of videogames upon one's shoulders, he thought. It's almost too much to cope with, but it had to be done.
Gmork
I dont think its as big of a deal to him as it must be for you.

Sudan no1
SolRo is confirmed garbage, but this video is good. Or entertaining, at least.

Gmork
Oh make no mistake none of my butthurt posts are in defense of SolRo!

memedumpster
Gamers don't want video games to be art, art is something that happens in civilizations not about to collapse.
Robin Kestrel
She has a nasty pair of bolt-ons.
fatatty
I like it and I hate everyone who doesn't.
poorwill
Bubble Bobble is art. This is shit.
Snakeweapon
Seriously? This is the videogame that puts the whole 'game/art' thing over the top? Let's try that again with a concept that's not directly lifted from a Bjork video.
Riskbreaker
How can this be a "game" video when there's actually no gameplay whatsoever?
fatatty
Because it's running in real-time in a game engine. This could be part of an interactive experience in a larger narrative, but it's mostly just to display the acting he can get out of his new mo-cap technology.

Say what you will but this is beautiful game art.

Riskbreaker
Yeah but, it's still not a game, is a movie, as in, not interactive.

TheSupafly
SOMEONE programmed in those tears to be shed during sadness.
Comeuppance
Rape fantasy contingency.

Binro the Heretic
Just picking nits, here, but she's a GYNOID, not an android.
magnificent wang
Well, the story and dialogue is hokey, but then again it is a TECH demo. As such, it's pretty impressive. Having seen (not played) Heavy Rain or LA Noir, I can say that the character is much more convincing and appealing that those games - I don't get those uncanny valley shivers from this one.

5 evil stars for this tech costing me my job in 5 years.

Dear David Cage,

All will be forgiven if you just go back and give Indigo Prophecy a proper second half.

Thank you
