We don't know much (okay, anything) about fl0wer -- only that it's being developed for PS3, and that it's not yet playable. Based on the name, we expect that it will at least be a spiritual successor to fl0w, which started as game designer Jenova Chen's graduate thesis. View the serene teaser after the break, and let the speculation begin.
Today's most flowery video: 'fl0wer' trailer
If the title looks like a blatant ripoff of indie fave fl0w, that's because it's actually the same developer. Thatgamecompany, that game company which brought abstract underwater battle to PSN, is working on a new game, announced via a short, artsy trailer at the Tokyo Game Show.

Hell, I'm sure that if either PS3 or 360 had even ONE eroge published on the system, it would rocket past Wii in total sales.

Or it could be a really kickass Miracle-Gro flower growing sim.

Also... is this game a screensaver? It is even a game? There was like, nothing happening in that trailer.
Might make a cool gardening sim?

Their tag line was something like "Don't just Flow... Flower"

Cue slo-mo middle-aged woman in white flowing garments skipping through the field and/or riding horses. "It expands to fit my lifestyle! Use Fl0w to keep you Fl0wer fresh!"
Holy $hit, I just realized I've seen waayyy too many feminine product commercials during my short time here on Earth.

I played the free Flash version of flOw. It was fun. I heard the PS3 version was expanded upon. I guess I'll look forward to flOw and flOwer if/when I eventually get a PS3.

On the other hand....it could be a friggin' flower sim. Will it have Full Stamen and Pistil exposure??
Because that would be SWEET!!!
You know what would be hilarious..... if someone took this trailer....and at the end had MASTER CHIEF stomp on the FLOWER. Then cut to the typical 360 commercial ending Logo.

Words cannot describe how much I hate this kind of promotion.

Personally, I’m very excited to see where they go with this. Jenova Chen and his team are incredibly innovative in my mind and their games are so beautiful. It might not be very action oriented, but I’m content to play a game and sit in wonder of the beautiful visuals and simplistic gameplay they make. I thought that the first game was quite a success in what it was trying to do, but I can definitely see how it might have gotten boring if the players didn’t challenge themselves enough or their skills exceeded the maximum challenge the game had. Either way I’m sure this game will be a fuller and more developed game with the same core and feeling as the first. As I said before, I’m very excited to see how this turns out.
