Wow. Developed by internal Sony studios (SCEI), this puzzle title for PSP and PS3 (downloadable) picks up from Kuju/Zoe Mode’s Crush and takes gives it an M.C. Escher flavoured remix. By rotating the camera to a new fixed position, the behaviour of the 3D environment alters radically. Clever use of an orthographic projection allow for different paths in entirely seperate sections to combine to form a new single path. A beautiful, elegant bit of game design. Love it.
Edit: Follow up. This is a development of work by Jun Fujiki, from a project called OLE Coordinate System. You can download a fully working prototype there for PC or view a youtube movie here. Looks like theres much more online, and that he has presented at SIGGRAPH. Check out this online Java demo here - Individuality.
It is being developed for PS3 and PSP by Digital Meister.
