gameplay 5 min from a demo made in late 2007


Why it i not point and click :


- u can control the movement of the arm directly with ur stick
- no cursor but interactive environnement
- no "dialogue screen" : u can talk during walking using gyroscopique control in a natural way
- full movement freedom in the house
- full interactive environnement with door (stated) fridge/room/box
- no game over
- many choice to do while playing allowing to "create" (modulate) the story

It is a bit more than just QTE + point and click ...

The way I see it, it's a modern way of point n' click gameplay (mixed with QTEs). It has such a limited freedom that many gamers will get pissed off and just wanna bang the controller against a wall out of frustration.

Anyway, you understand french so it's good you explain the details. I may be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid gameplay will be very limited and "interactive movie-like". I love adventure games though, so for me it wouldn't be any problem. I would certainly buy this game if I had a PS3.

==> well, at one moment, the girl is running with the camera behind her and the bad guy running after her and David Cage is stating "u are still control of the girl"

from min 20.12 to 20.20 :

"here, it is still Caroline that is controlling the character, it is her that is directing the character, even if she is touching all the environnement, this is Caroline that is playing and direct the character, this is not a cutscene"

so, at the end, I m not sure about what to expect for the control ...

libellule, the girl will be in the game though, don't you think? I don't think they wasted all that time and energy and made her just for a demo.

==> the guy really stated (not sure if it is in this video) that they wanted to hide everything about the real plot and that this demo is not the game, and, in my memmory, it included the girl character herself.

I have no idea how much time/money they have invested in the demo ... Perhaps, they can easly and quickly create "room/character" with their engine
