.detuned Demoscene Experiment Released On PSN

Hardly anyone seemed to notice it, but .detuned, a "personalized, interactive music experience" from German demoscene group .theprodukkt (Farbrausch), released on PSN late last week for only $2.99.

With the experimental PS3 download, you can play different tracks from your music library and manipulate a surreal scene in real-time with the Sixaxis controller, which in turn tweaks the currently playing song. And that's how you end up with the dancing guy's head transforming into an elephant's head.

It looks like most of the comments I've read on .detuned run along the lines of "Were they smoking 3 bowls, acid, mushrooms, crack, and payote [sic] to make this game!?", but if you're into demoscene projects or if you just like seeing more PSN releases like Plastic's Linger in Shadows, pick it up!

Comments

I am a demoscener, and I honestly was disappointed in this as I would've expected something more from Farbrausch.
