Quake3World

If you like Escher's work and videogames, then this is the ultimate videogame for you. It looks bloody brilliant.

Watch trailer

Here's a downloadable game which shows the concepts shown in the trailer as well:

looks alot like that new psp game actually. with the 2d/3d morphs n all

It actually is a PSP (and PS3) game. Maybe you're thinking of the same thing?

That was pretty cool

reminds me of portal a bit

Very cool, but I could imagine myself absolutely tearing my hair out playing it.

But very creative... we need more games like this.

brisk -- in your recently played MP3 list.... have you been listening to the OST to Streets of Rage or something?

That looks very impressive :icon14:

correct!

Really cool concept, I can only hope (in vain) for a PC release, because Sony's not getting my money for one of their consoles.

I saw the guy who made a lot of that music (forgot his name) on a dutcho-japanese intercultural exchange music festival a few years back. It was pretty awesome... he did all this twisted trippy soundscape stuff and some dutch guy did the video/laser effects.

He was promoted on the flyer as (from streets of rage!!), never played the game myself

That looks super cool, even if it probably would be highly frustrating.

Oh and this too:

It's not like Escher's stuff really. The thing about Eschers stuff was it looked real.
Also, they didn't show much use of "impossible objects" in that.

It was a lot of stupid jump-pad stuff.

Needs high quality graphics, and better use of "impossible objects".

Also, the walking behind walls thing wasn't done in Escher's work, that was shown several times and seems just stupid.
You should be able to see what you're doing.

Edit: Also, the music was a bit rubbish. I could see that start to grate after a while (I watched it twice, and the horrible whining of the violins is going in my head). That and the "clop-clop-clop" of the character walking. Was he wearing clogs? (Or high-heels?)

very very cool

I can't believe your head hasn't turned into a fucking neutron star already.

that little demo game is pretty sweet. I spent about 15 min playing with jump pads, getting the little fags to land on different spots.

Yea, they still have plenty of work to do on the interface/layout design tools, but it's still pretty darned neat.

Edit: Ahhh gotcha

I love Escher... this looks awesome, but it looks extremely frustrating... and I third this opinion:
