If you're planning to play it on PS3, chances are it'll still change your mood -- but to "bummed," because you have to wait until September. In either case, the trailer is really pretty.

I know a pair of twins with a type synaesthesia that makes them see sound as different colors. I wonder what would happen if they played this.

Child of Eden really looks great, but I don't want to get either a Kinect or the Move. :(

Same, which is why I'm upset they're moving the PS3 release date to September. I don't care about Move support, just release it on the same day and patch it in later!

it's been confirmed that it supports standard controls as well. the only reason that it is never mentioned is because Microsoft is paying a lot of money to have "Child of Eden" be synonymous with "Kinect" (it's also the reason why this game is coming out on PS3 on the same day as the 360 version in Europe- while the North American PS3 release is short on details).

You can play it with a regular controller. (otherwise I wouldn't be interested)

@laser beams Thanks for the info. I only thought this would be out on Kinect, glad to see I can play it with DS3 on PS3.

Nope, this didn't do anything. I am a fan of Rez and games like Flower and Flow...and I have a Kinect, but this isn't impressing or exciting me. I guess the big ol cursor and (seemingly) personality-less graphics don't help.

It has the same plot as Rez, too.

This trailer is pretty cool and all, but it doesn't really matter if you don't care about your cholesterol.

It didn't change anything. The game looks not much more than a point and shoot game mixed with a little Flower-style art for good measure. I love arty games like Flower but that looked like far too much of a shooter for my liking. Maybe I'm just missing something.

I remember playing Lumines being a little turned off by some of the music, but the dynamic shifting of tones matched with gameplay was intriguing.
It seems like there will be more club-trance to traipse through, but I'm sure it will be so fun I won't mind it.
(I can't help but picture Will Ferrell and Chris Catan bopping their heads to the side...)

Child of Eden and Gunstringer could be the games that cause me to grant my wife's wishes and buy Kinect.

I know the feel of this game is supposed to be marked different from the original Rez, but I really, really hope there some sounds that are a little bit heavy.
I have a feeling playing this, that I will be missing my Joujouka, Adam Freeland, and Ken Ishii beats.

This is my biggest concern.
The gameplay and plot being "more Rez" isn't a deal breaker for me, but in every video I've seen, the music is this up-beat poppy stuff. If Katy Perry's voice chimed in, it wouldn't seem out of place.
I love Mizuguchi, but I don't think I want Rez with an all-Genki Rockets soundtrack.

Kinect is still too laggy for me.. Especially for this type of game. I'll just be using a normal controller...

That's not really what synesthesia is...
