Original Post: A website known as 4Sceners have uploaded an image gallery of screen caps they received when they viewed an amazing in-game demo on the PlayStation 3. They said the game's graphics were truly in-game and looked better than Crysis, KILLZONE 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4.The translation is rough, but they describe the video as opening up with the PlayStation 3 logo showing. The video is called Linger in Shadows. They say the experience was so intense. The gallery features many animals, such as a huge cat showing near a Greek temple, and a dog. They say the quality is something to be desired. We have no idea if this is a game, because of translation. But if you could help us out, here is the original link.
[Linger in Shadows]
Update: Okay, some new information. Seems that this was shown b y a demoscene group called Plastic. Sony Computer Entertainment trademarked the title Linger In Shadows back in November 2007. The demo for this was shown at the Breakpoint 2008 gathering this weekend, saying it would release publicly on the PlayStation 3 as a possible graphical showcase for the system. They said it isn't really a game.
Other people who attended the Breakpoint 2008 were talking about it on the Pouet forums, saying that a playable Linger In Shadows was one of the projects commissioned by Sony. When we find out more, we will update you.
[First Tiny Look At Linger In Shadows, A Mysterious Real Time PlayStation 3 Demo]

Here's a rough translation I got using Google's online translator:
There was something mysterious in itself, as on the Breakpoint 2008 Bonzaj, from the Polish demo Plastic Group, just before starting the major Amiga and PC-Trial competitions again entered the stage. With few words, he thanked the organizers of the party and muttered in his broken English: "This one's for you!". What then followed was a breath enlarge and explained why Plastic in the last three years not a demo published.
The logo and the Sony PlayStation 3 shone. What then followed, Solid Snake would even turn pale with envy. It was an experience, as if fr-041: Life Force and debris at the same time show - only much more intense. Monumental is only a superlative to the work of Plastic debut on the PS3 to describe.
First, we fly through clouds impressive world, the volumetric forms faces shape, while the credits appear to be sound and atmospheric piano concert. Also here is Xenusion course, as a graphic designer at Crytek Crysis also was involved. What then follows, can be described as the killer par-Debris means, but likely would also Liebeserkärung to the work of Farbrausch. We look to the depth of the gorge a skyscraper, ergötzen us of the incredible vision, razor sharp textures and millions of details. Then, the orchestra music dramatic proportions. Bedrohlicher black smoke snakes from an opening similar to that of the TV series Lost. We follow the snake, which rushes down, other areas of the city reached cube and sphere carpets left behind, and we can look at the many details still not sattsehen.
Scene change: a Greek temple appears, in which a deceptively real-looking cat lolls. This face, the skin, their eyes! We are speechless. Then the next beckons homage to Farbrausch because knuffiger dog with a sweet Schlappohren moves into the picture. However, a real dog, not just the floor. Dog, which is a hallmark of Farbrausch Art Director fiver2. Here, the dog starts to run, let the cat to scare, but falls to the black smoke victims to stone and frozen.
A mysterious Tentakelwesen now paves the way to the surface, races on the Steinskultpur of the dog, and this can shatter into a thousand pieces. The end of the dog food, but not the scene of the demonstration. The factory is expected with this a resurrection in the media celebrate, likely on film and animation festivals for exciting. If Sony at its next press conference this production of Plastic show, the journalists completely stunned and impressed. The trailer of Killzone 2 was only a soft breeze.
On the next page, we show some pictures from the demo. However, the quality of something to be desired, because it only from the stream of TV breakpoint come. Once it is a real video of this monstrous Demospektakels there, or even binaries for the PS3, we will be out here on 4Sceners.de notice. I, for my part, know what I will buy next week. Exactly, a PS3!

I'll feel better once I've seen actual footage. Hopefully someone will get direct feed so we can appreciate the graphics rather than video from a camera phone.
Stylistically at least, it looks gorgeous.
OMG that looks so cool
The thing that they are showing is a demo, not a game at all.
It's by the demogroup Plastic.
And basicly a demo is a animation except run real-time with a focus on effects. Basicly, it would run like a game would, 3D and all, except you can't actually play it. :)
It was showed at a demoparty called breakpoint yesterday. No full video or download exists for it yet.
Just so you know.
nope
"blz: well, it's not a demo :-). or not only a demo, to be exact. it's not a game, either. it's something rather new both to the scene and consoles. and it's definitely not an afterwork project of some ps3 gamedev team. I don't think you'll be able to get an avi (yet) because of copyright issues. but ps3 owners will be able to run it in the future (when it's finished and published) and I hope they get much fun.
the rest - what to say and what not to say - is up to bonzaj and his agreements with scea. I'm sure he'll answer at least some of your questions when he reaches home and gets some sleep which he deserves very much."
its neither a demo or a game.... but it is a product

Breakpoint is a demoscene event, you can think of it as a "demo-oriented" lan party, or demoparty as it used to be called at least. If you don't know what the demoscene is take a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene. Demoscene productions, or demos, are real-time multimedia demonstrations that strive to maximize the use of the hardware and produce the best aural and eye-candy possible. Breakpoint's site is at http://breakpoint.untergrund.net/, though there seems to be no link or reference to a video of this demo, at least not yet.
Perhaps you should change the post title to "Amazing real-time demo" or "real-time scene demo", just to avoid confusion. :)
To the anonymous user that felt the need to define what a demo is, all I can say is thank you. Before today I thought a demo was short for demolition and that the PS3 was being subjected to a royal beating by way of a sledgehammer.
Thank you. My life is forever changed (read sarcasm).
In other news, whatever this "demo" (not demolition or demographic or demonstrative or demotion) one can only hope that it will become something worth playing. Similar to the tech demo of Heavy Rain that has yet to show any actual gameplay. Moreover, maybe with this demo showing the power of the PS3 we'll finally start seeing developers exploiting the power of the PS3's SPUs and have the official swearing in of the most powerful and versatile system on the market.
incredibilistic:
I think you still don't get it. It's not a game demo.
This might help you out in understanding what they're trying to explain here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demo_%28computer_programming%29
we all remember what happened to Killzone...from a tech demo to a full fledged game guzzling $60 million for its sequel...Linger might be shown the same door...
incredibilistic: you are an ignorant, little game fanboy. it's not about games. the demo is not playable. it's not a game demo. it's a technical showoff of the PS3 and the skills of the demogroup who developed it. just so you know.
phew, gamers.
It's not even a matter of it being a real-time demo or in-gameplay with physics and everything else going on. I downloaded a 400MB HD version of this thing and whoever said it looks better than Crysis is a ****ing moron, plain and simple.
It's an interesting demo, for sure. Nice matte finish type of effect going on. But all it's doing is covering up extremely low-detail textures and absurdly low-polygon models. To top it off with a 15-20fps frame rate at best only makes me laugh harder. There are countless other *CONSOLE* games that are more impressive, let alone Crysis.
"Before today I thought a demo was short for demolition and that the PS3 was being subjected to a royal beating by way of a sledgehammer."
That was too good, lol. I think you mind boggled this anonymous poster so much that he's refusing to comprehend this burnage.
I like how someone (probably the same guy) responded to your post continuing to state the obvious. Durk-uh-durr, yeah man we all perfectly understand what the FREAK a "demo" is!!! My god, you alone have disproven evolution.
Go search up jackass on Wiki and see if you find yourself.
