This will be the deserved winner of the compo! Great graphics and music, unique style and a rather interesting credits part. PlayPsyCo have really become one of the big players in the scene.
Liked this one a lot - congrats to everyone involved!

bestest of compo !
my fav from compo, not the best visuals, but overall it's very good and fits nicely together
Yea, congratulations PlayPsyCo.
I really appreciated the music.

second snoutmate
Great stuff!
grats! I hope and guess you win.
I think the visuals are worse than a steaming pile of shit, but the music is nice.
Music is cool, visuals aren't that good. But aint shit :P
Definitely the best in the compo. All in all very solid and enjoyable production. It's pretty obvious winner.
Hmm, a lot of cool stuff happens and I guess I should be really impressed, but I'm kinda left feeling indifferent for some reason.
It had the potential to be a real action-packed stunner, but the visual style didn't work. Personally I'd blame the dull colour scheme and the cell shading (?).

Playpsyco are obviously very talented and technically are at the top of their game. However...
I'm afraid to say that I didn't enjoy this alot. I think it suffers from the same problem that mupe had, that is, too much saturated colors and too much blur (ok I can see the irony there myself :-)). The progression also doesn't seem to lead to anywhere. If you think about it it is a rehash of the millions of claustrophobic industial fly-by demos produced over the past 10 years. Reminded me a bit of the latests demos by cocoon, although cocoon does that type of demos with a bit more finesse. I also got the impression that the transitions were forced a bit, with the framerate going up and down while scenes are changing. Bland particle effects BUT best FOV effect ever. Music is just there doing its thing, not very memorable but quite fitting.
All in all a good demo that left me with mixed feelings: isn't this genre getting too tired already ?

love on 1st sight
nice work, i like it!
Love at first sight! Heavy 3D stuff and drum'n bass in here, which makes a great demo experience.
just one of the best demo-prods ive seen this year i think.

ROCKS MASSIVE!
Thumb up. Mainly for the kickass d'n'b soundtrack.
Had some really nice parts!
My fav from the compo too.
What navis said, but with a thumb up.
wow. This far exceeded my expectations. I'm with ltk_tscc on this one. It's generally a cliched demo (what is all this stuff for?), and it's a bit noisy, but it doesn't bother me because it rocks. I particularly like the part where it became blurry and more fluid (standing in the grass).. had a creepy realism/surrealism.
of yeah. I like that one.
booyakasha
you guys have it to put good demos together. if I would only have seen the overstuffed effects or just listened the music alone it would have been a piggy, but it works fine together.
music=noisy with a good flow somehow
effects=total overload

Sweet prod, especially love the soundtrack which keeps going off on tangents.
Great demo and awsome music!
i stopped watching it in mid so boring..
video?
Oh yeah, this is what it's all about. Another kickass demo in a string of kickass demos that's starting to get pretty long. Music, modelling, concept and execution. Top notch.
You have potential, but you must hire some good scenarist and director, because direction of yours demos are awfull.
Pig like Tokyo

Solid demo with a great "norwegian d'n'b" track by Kaktusen. :)
I really like it altogether, special thumb up for the quality of the fov effect :)
PlayPsyCo style, a kick ass production that I wish I had seen on the big screen, congrats with 2nd :)
WOW - I really LOVE it !
this made me smile a couple of times which is unusual when i comes to demos. fitting soundtrack and some really cool effects. a bit too industrial for my taste but a solid thumb.
Awesome prod with tons going on. Objects building and unbuilding were cool, factory theme worked really well. Some minor problems but overall best of compo for me.
I consider this the most innovative and stylish entry of this compo.
how could this not win ?
should have won and so on
Great demo! Should have won...
reminded me of portal process
great demo and also works in wine :-))
This is the only prod I saw from the compo. Bit overstuffed and horrible movements etc. With better design and polishing it could have been good.
Though it didn't work nicely on my laptop, this was nice work!
VIDEO!!!!
My personal winner. Great music, visuals and flow.
Next time please include resolution selector :)

wow! what a huge and massive effort! It still suffers from the "playpsyco syndrome" but its getting better.. playpsyco is now more of a quality trademark to me than a mark of inconsistency and weird design. I really LOVED the "unfolding cubes" part! Really cool effect and it was one of the parts where the music really fitted... That was in fact the most uplifting demo-moment I've had in a while. The music, while being fresh and dnb-like, sounds a bit rushed-together. Heard-before sounds and very un-imaginative progression. But all in all, best in the compo and a very big step foreward for playpsyco. Congrats to datsua and the guys :)
soundtrack link ? :p
sadly it feels too norwegian schooled for my taste, which is a shame considering all the effort clearly put into the code and models.

Great demo, should have won.
I'm not so sure I like the music though, while it's a nice track, it sounds a bit too generic IMO.

one of the best demos i've seen this year, great concept and some impressive parts, and a massive drum'n'bass tune !
foudn it nice
Very very good demo as in demo. Should be first.
Utter nonsense
a bit messy (as usual in playpsyco productions), but there are a couple of scenes i like somehow: the unfolding cubes or the credits part for example.
should have won...
should have won...
some parts are really nice others are totally boring - so piggie
The music could be a little better produced, and the visuals could be slightly more interconnected with it.
Also, the whole presentation itself was not that well put together.
However, with that being said, I thought that there was some really cool things in the demo, and loads of big scenes with nice details. I like.

is ok.
nah, this didn't work as well as I expected.
As a few already pointed out, techniqual speaking, you're great; but there are some major design flaws there and there which drags this thing down.

woah. totally fits my taste. love it!
Plenty of things to see, most of them simply too generic to be enjoyable.
cool, very dynamic stuff, much better for me, than previous playpsyco prods.
Cool shit!
Cool prod! Some not so cool colors here and there though...
I liked it a lot. Good sync, good lots of animation and animated construction of scenes
should have ranked #1. really good demo. I like it.
cool
quite cool, a bit weird, but also lots of effects and stylish!
reminded me of portal
Though the overall democompo at asm08 sucked, this is actually not bad. Should've been 1st :\
Really nice !
Nice credits part
the ultimate remix of "demomakers most favourite items" since the late 90s
yep
watched it again, regardless of what I think about the particle systems being ugly this deserves a thumb up
Same as Navis, after ten times viewed, I change my pig to thumb up. This demo required a repetitive watching. Still it is a fly-by without any progression, but it is very good fly-by with nice camera changes and made in outstanding 3d engine with great field of view effects.
CHOON CHOON CHOON CHOON!!
good
..and now for something completely different. so fresh, great ideas, great presentation. kudos!
I'm surprised this demo isn't more popular. really made my weekend at Assembly.
some real nice quirky design in there that really works well, great music aswell, rocking demo :)
very nice
My favorite of the compo. I liked the visuals and styling. Also: Kaktusen's soundtrack rulz!
vote for "the music".
Works out well.....
Very nice.
Good ideas, nice music.
My favorite PlayPsyCo demo to date!
Grew on me. Good quality new school avalanche and neat twist on the old factory trope.
