Obscure 2 PS2 Demo

Last week we learned from SCEE that the Obscure 2 PS2 Demo would be included in the August edition of Official Playstation Magazine. It passed the first submission round effortlessly! Now, for those of you who aren't in the know about these things, all products released through official Sony channels (which OPSM is), needs to go through a quality check. If the product isn't up to Sony's standards, then they will send it back to you and you will have to fix whatever is wrong with it.
Imagine my surprise that, yesterday, when I went out to buy groceries, I found the Obscure 2 demo attached to the June edition of Dutch version of OPSM! Yay! (see image)

It isn't totally unheard of for a PS2 Demo to pass the first submission round, but it is pretty special. My hat is off to Hydravision, who are such expert developers. Cheers guys!

Now remember people, if you happen to check the demo out: it is still a Work In Progress. It was actually submitted to Sony mid-april, and since then a lot of things have been polished on Obscure 2; graphics, sound, voice-art, gameplay, balance, etc.
