Child of Eden

[Tetsuo_Shima]

Child of Eden is a game revealed at E3, in development for X360 and PS3, and is tipped to be the spiritual successor to the sublime Rez.

Here is the mesmerising E3 trailer

and here is a Eurogamer preview.

Crucially, CoE uses the motion/body tracking capabilities of Natal and Move to heighten the effect of synaesthesia. As a huge fan of Rez, this looks absolutely incredible. Finally, a game that might actually be worth buying Natal for.

In the words of one of the youtube commenters: wtf did I just watch??

It does look rather nice, true, but I have no idea what is it supposed to mean and as such it appears pointless.

Tets will no doubt assure you that Rez is one of the few things we agree on.

Not worth it if Kinect is $150 though.

I could try describing it to you, but using words always fails to do the game justice.

After watching the video, I was like "the Fu-...." I have no idea what the point was from the video alone, apart from the shiny shapes and stuff

As a big fan of Rez, count me in.

So I've been keeping half an eye on this game since Tet's original post and yesterday I noticed a new trailer for it on the "Spotlight" section of xbox live - turns out this game is due out on 14th June, a little over a month from now!

Certainly looks like one I will be buying
