I’m very much looking forward to seeing what they can do next. Fahrenheit was really refreshing and stupidly flawed in almost equal measures. I’m definitely up for more.

This quote especially makes me happy:
“But still, we want to do something unique with the graphics, going beyond just making the most photorealistic world we can.”

Well…. as close to ‘happy’ as I can get, anyway.

I definitely am interested in this. I was at the presentation in London when they showed it for the first time, and Sony said then that it wasn’t a game, but showed a “direction”. I’m crossing everything.

Yeah, hoping they’ve learnt from the mistakes of Fahrenheit. The audition scene was most impressive and I’m interested to see how their claims of “crossing the uncanny valley” pan out

I’ll be interested to see if they can make it. The picture above suggests ‘not’. She’s pretty creepy, in an ‘animated mannequin’ kind of way.
