Sony announces Echochrome

by Zack Stern on Jul 11th 2007 3:09PM

At Sony's Keynote press conference, Phil Harrison introduced, Echochrome, saying it has "possibly the least graphics and most gameplay of any title you are going to see this week." The puzzle game, in development by Sony's internal Japanese studio, seemingly has players direct an outline of a drawing-model doll walking through black-and-white, three-dimensional mazes.

The levels resemble MC Escher doodles and optical illusions, with a distant leg of a puzzle becoming the top layer after a quick rotation. While little was explained other than a simple preview video, players seem to control Echochrome by these rotations, changing and warping perspective.

Harrison didn't announce a shipping date, but he noted that several games, including Echochrome would be available by March, 2008. The game will be available for PSP on UMD and for PS3 download on the Playstation Network.

I never thought I'd see the day when Wii fanboys could call a PS3 game's graphics "last gen."

"possibly the least graphics and most gameplay of any title you are going to see this week."

If you can't beat them, join them

Funny enough, only true new interesting game at the entire E3. Damn it!

I can finally see them. The 4D graphics that is.

So why do you need a cell processor for this?

You don't you idiot. It's a PSP game, and a PSN download.

This looks pretty interesting; I've always wanted to walk around on illusions like that :]

billychaos, get one and you just might find out.

I'm guessing this is "only possible on the PS3"? I mean, they really didn't hammer that statement home enough in their keynote.

Oh, and it really does look nice by the way (:

i was shocked at how much i enjoyed looking at the video for this game. It is really interesting.

It's a simple psp and psn puzzle game looks like fun gameplay. Stop bashing it you dam 360 fanboys. What did you get at your microsoft conference. nothing!

We got games that are coming out this year. :)

It's neat!

Possibly the game of the show. It just looks fun and original, something that's hard for games to do these days.

agreed.

.

As a PSP owner, I should want this why?

Cute... maybe they should start making some games.

Aaron, maybe you should want this because it presents an intellectual challenge without trying to compensate for lack of gameplay with graphics that are pointless to the experience?
