TGS '07 Preview: Tori-Emaki for PS3

296w ago - One of the bizarre yet pleasant surprises at Sony's pre-TGS event tonight was EyeToy title Tori-Emaki. The game's Japanese calligraphy visuals immediately caught our eye -- it looks a lot like Okami, except in high-def.

However, don't get too excited just yet. The gameplay we saw was rather simplistic -- you guide around a flock of crows by motioning in directions with your hands. And that's about it. While moving the flock, you explore a rather beautiful animating world, but as far as we can tell, it still doesn't reach much further than that.

Ironically, despite the distinctive visual style and the event it's debuting at, Tori-Emiki is not being developed in Japan -- it's from Sony Europe and developer PlayLogic. We're cautiously optimistic, so look for more on Tori-Emiki soon.
