A NEW LOOK AT THATGAMECOMPANY’S FLOWER

Sony has released new footage of one of my most anticipated 2009 downloads: longtime favorite Thatgamecompany’s PS3 downloadable Flower, a followup to their earlier fl0w, and similarly serene PC demo Cloud. I couldn’t be happier to see the PS3’s supercomputer core being harnessed purely for the purpose of rendering fluttering petals and waves of knee high grass, and making something as intangible as wind a ‘playable character.’
