Just spotted this on the Japanese PSN, released today.

The picture in the top left intrigued me, but now I see the in game screens at the bottom, I was wondering if it's Jericho?

and while I'm at it, rather than start a new thread, I just had a look at the Hong Kong store, and I see they have started a sort of video on demand service.

Hmmm, maybe that's overstating it somewhat.

They have a "HiTV HD Video Collection" with two music videos on there in 1080p, of a Chinese girl, who looks like she could be worth viewing in 1080p ;) even if the files are 500mb odd ;)

I'm just judging by the icons. Is it even a game? It looks like a movie trailer.

Could be, I don't know, I don't speak Japanese at all I'm afraid.

Just spotted it, and thought it looked "interesting"

One hell of a trailer if it is one though.... at 900MB.

Nono, the top left hand icon on the pic I posted clearly states "Playstation 3"

The demo for the Japanese Horror/Soundnovel game Imabikisou is now available in the Japanese PSN Store.
The demo is 903 MB large.

A traditional Japanese "Sound Novel" adventure, The storyline of Imabikisou revolves around a drug called "Vision" which seems to be responsible for a string of mysterious deaths. The game's main character and heroine, attempting to flee the curse of the drug, travel to a mansion that is believed to be the source of all the problems. There, they get themselves caught up in a mystery involving a strange flower, the Imabikisou of the title.

Imabikisou involves a winning staff of horror veterans. The game's award-winning scenario staff includes Yukinori Kitajima (Muteki Handicap), Osamu Makino (Sweet Little Baby) and Hajime Katou. The graphic staff includes Haruhiko Shouno as art director, and Ayumu Ino as photography director. Twins Japan (Dororo, Cure, Dragon Head) and Animaroid (Siren 2 for the PS2) are lending their talents for, respectively, filming and visual effects. And unlike most Sound Novels, the production values are a key element -- the game includes a mix of real life and CG footage, along with real time effects. The sound aural side features Dolby 5.1 support and full voice.


Edit game is supposed to be out 23 october in japan
 
Doesn't seem very popular here. The only game that everyone wants to play here is Dynasty Warriors 5 for some reason。Looks pretty interesting thogh. Has anyone tried it yet? Might give it a go.
 
It was featured in this month's Official Playstation Magazine. I was thinking of importing it but I'd have to keep translating everything using the Internet. It's supposed to be like a "Choose your own adventure" graphic novel or something. Something not really done before.
