‘Flower’ Should Make You Feel Better About Yourself, Argues Creator

Published by Chris at 10:58 am under News  (short URL)

From multiplayerblog.mtv.com:

flower thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen is intensely passionate about his upcoming PlayStation Network release “Flower” and the impression he hopes it leaves on the people who interact with it, even going so far as to say “Flower” should inspire them to feel better about themselves.

Can a video game be therapeutic?

Sometimes I feel relieved and happy after taking out a few ghouls in “Gears of War 2,” but video games are largely stress-based affairs. Not “Flower,” though. “Flower” intends to be the opposite.

    Sounds interesting. I highly doubt that it will be a big hit. I don’t think that many of Sony’s fans are into this sort of thing. Perhaps if this game was on the Wii, with the motion sensor remote, it might work…?

    I agree with you Trey, I would love to see this game on the Wii, or even Xbox360.
    Can’t wait to try it though!
