Congrats to Yak, Giles and the Llamasoft crew, this looks absolutely fucking stunning, I had a feeling it would be an Xbox360 thing, and always thought how fucking cool a visualizer/lightsynth would be using shaders and stuff.

Downloading the vid now, but just from looking at the screenshots I'm practically creaming my pants.

Edit - With regards to the music, it's also a funny co-incidence that I used to be part of a band that sampled that EXACT same Public Information Broadcast, ripped from the old nuclear war movie Threads. It's a small world

Frankie Goes To Hollywood/Trevor Horn also sampled it on Two Tribes.

meep
wibble

*reboots brain*
Damn these bandwidth restrictions on media files at work. I want to see it move

Don't suppose there's a zipped copy of the video anywhere?

That looks fucking brilliant. Which is just about the last reaction I ever expected to have to some hairy sheep lover showing me his Thing

That is fucking fantastic!!!

Especially since by the sound of it, they didn't force him to take the editor/interaction out..

I was set on getting the revolution as my only next-gen console, and wasn't even considering the 360. That has all changed. I'll still get the rev. but now the 360 is suddenly a must have for me. Congatulations ta all involved.

I can understand why matt'd be disappointed in that case.

However, remember that the framework started on the Cubie.. I don't know if they ported the code or rewrote it, but it certainly has potential to be completely cross-platform..

Nah, this is new tech. New code.

At the risk of opening old wounds (please do tell me to shut up if necessary!), at what point roughly did work on this begin and Unity was folded up?

You cunningly fucking wonderful bastards.

Those screenshots are frickin' sweet! The palettes are gorgeous.

Can't wait till I get home to check out those .movs - wow, dudes, Llamasoft kicks off big time shocker!

too bad my excitement for Neon doesn't outweigh my hatred for Microsoft
