Not that kind of love, unfortunately. I feel i am hardly broad-thinking enough for a post on that subject. perhaps when I am older, and more experienced. No, this is a quick peek at Love, the game I mentioned yesterday and one I have happily been following. The debut trailer has recently been released, and for a display of pre-alpha footage it looks remarkably impressive. What Love reminds me of is a game like Darwinia or Ico - a project with the specific aim in mind of putting off as high a percentage of its potential audience as possible. By distilling them, it gains the appreciation it seeks, and therefore attains whatever cult status its tribe deem worthy. Such games are rare – they have to be – but if i were to slight it for overambition or auterism I would be doing myself a disservice. (How would I have lasted the past four days without Braid, I wonder?) I can’t claim to know any more of the title than what i have read on Kotaku and wherever they link to, but for a game expected in 2010 such dripping of information are to be expected.
