From Dust still looks too good to be true photo

Ubisoft recently held a preview event for Eric Chahi's gorgeous looking From Dust. We weren't there, but we've got the screenshots anyway, so let's all hug ourselves tight and pretend we were there!

Yet again I have to reiterate my assertion that From Dust looks too amazing to actually exist, and that might explain why there was a mystical preview event that nobody we know went to. I think From Dust is a European conspiracy designed to trick the rest of the world. 

Just look at these screens and you'll see. There is no such thing as From Dust. It's a myth!

Man, do I want it, though.

that header reminds me of http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/551252 that is

Excellent video that is!

Holy depth of field, Batman!

I'm really hoping it looks as good animated as it does now.

Is this a game about Mel Gibson's Apocalypto?

The environments and variety or color look outstanding, though. I must know more!

After watching the linked video, I'm even more blown away. The graphics are incredibly fluid, and it seems more impressive than Black/White was... all in a downloadable PSN/XBLA title!

It really is too good to be true.

Part of me is nervous that the gameplay won't live up to the visuals. We shall see.

The scenery reminds me of Populous The Beginning. A lot.

I have the feeling only computers from 50 years in the future will be able to run this smoothly. I want.

It doesn't actually exist. Its a ploy to get us to want to do more art games. ITS A CONSPIRACY!

When I finally get From Dust, I will do things to it. Sexual things.

At first glance I thought the header image was more concept art. It's refreshing to see such smooth, soft rendering in a time of sharp, crystal-clear HD titles.

If Ubisoft is behind then it most likely is too good to be true. I guarantee it won't reach the public until they feel it's watered down enough for mass consumption.

Certainly interesting, first I've heard of this.

It certainly looks interesting, but there are two things I'm skeptical of:

It's a PSN/XBLA game, not a full title. That leads me to believe that it's likely it'll lack depth and/or not take long to be burnt out due to a lack of content.
It's Ubisoft. That speaks for itself.

While it looks pretty, after watching the actual gameplay it plays like ass. It's like a boardroom of suits tried to make Minecraft.

I would love a game like Nobi Nobi Boy. Some many things to discover and, like Topher said,"You are never really done with games like that". Looks amazing and needs to be pushed by Ubi more. You'd think they wouldn't waste a second to wave there giant GRAPHICS dick around. (I hope it hits me in the face and some splooge lands in my mouth.) More at E3...YOU BETTER DELIVER STERLING!

My computer must be broken. All I see is a game that looks incredibly soft with borderline annoying amounts of blurring effect.

I'm not saying it doesn't look nice, but man.

Looks like it draws a lot of influence from Populous 3 The Beginning. Definitely looking forward to this one.
