Hi everyone, it’s Rusty Buchert from SCEA’s Santa Monica Studios again. I just wanted check in and let you know that .detuned will be available for download from the PlayStation Network beginning tomorrow for $2.99! For those of you that aren’t familiar with .detuned, it is another experiment with the demoscene and was made by .theprodukkt. (yes, there is supposed to be a period at the beginning of the name), who are located in Germany and have been a very influential group in the scene for over a decade.
So what the heck is .detuned? It isn’t exactly a game or an art piece like Linger in Shadows. It is a user-driven music visualizer that allows you to create your own visual performance to accompany your favorite music tracks on the XMB, simply by using the SIXAXIS controller to manipulate and interact with objects within a scene. It also has its own music and a performance you can watch, too!
So, for those of you wanting a different experience on the PS3, get your creative juices flowing now. I highly recommend downloading this tomorrow to have some fun.

This seems a lot more useful than “Linger in Shadows”. If you guys have it up on Amazon’s PSN hub, I’ll gladly buy it.

Awesome, yeah this does seem to be more “useful” than Linger in Shadows, which was a unique experience anyway. Good pricing btw! :)

Yes. It has trophies.

I didn’t just list them here in case they are hidden ones and you want to be surprised.
BTW Rusty…it is .deTuned not .detuned isn’t it?
Rusty Buchert replied on October 15, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Long story short we ended up going with .detuned.
As to trophies, Yup we have them.

33
Zezzler | October 14th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
looks kinda cool, but it would have been WAAAAAAAY better if this (and all the features, except maybe trophies) were made into a dynamic theme.

trustkill | October 14th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

How about a video to show us how it works?
42
gus_xl | October 14th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Sounds pretty interesting. I still have a few dollars in the wallet that I wouldn’t mind trying out something new with.
43
VenomXv | October 14th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Cool. I actually enjoyed Linger in Shadows. I look forward to this as well.
44
poodude | October 14th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
OMG yes! thank you. I have been waiting for this forever. It got put on the Japanese store a while back but I wanted to wait until it came to the Canadian store. I love this demoscene stuff, Linger In Shadows was amazing, had I known you were releasing it tomorrow I would have bought a PSN card when I picked up Uncharted 2 last night.
45
thebrocknation | October 14th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
A walkthrough video would be nice.
46
Kirkpad | October 14th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Sweet, I can’t wait to see what this looks like.
47
poweredbyzen | October 14th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
i dunno – looks like someone trying to reproduce an acid trip and calling it a game. not that i would know – really!
48
p_morin | October 14th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
I only have 1$ in my virtual wallet, plus my credit card doesn’t work with the PSN because of a fonctionality it doesn’t have… Stupid credit card… I have to buy a 20$ pre-paid card, but it is “expensive”!
49
I_am_rushin | October 14th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Nice price. I might pick it up.
50
Happy_man | October 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
I only got 3 dollars and change in my virtual wallet, looks like I’ll be getting this.
