Shawn McGrath’s been working on Dyad for some time now, and it doesn’t sound like it’s been a particularly smooth ride. It does – as you’ll see from the video above – look brilliant though, a clever music game that turns the genre on its head.
“Each of the game’s 27 different levels touch upon a variety of mechanics and goals: forming long combos, racing, surviving as long as possible, hitting certain top speeds and more,” he says on the PS Blog. “And the game’s 26 special Trophy levels have challenging alternate goals, whether it’s playing just by using sound or collecting objects as quickly as possible.”
“Since each level has a corresponding leaderboard to track online rankings, Dyad boasts a huge number of leaderboards — 52 in all, each requiring a unique set of skills to master.”
The game’s due out in the Summer.

Yep, read the quoted paragraph 3 times now. Still don’t know what they are going on about.

Yep, after reading and watching the vid twice I’m still not sure what your meant to do.

Ah you are one better off than me then, i can’t watch the vid at work. :(
Mind you from the fact that you are still confused by it, perhaps its better if i don’t watch it!

I really, really want this game after seeing something about it ages ago.

This sounds insane, in a good way.
To think one guy was able to do this (with help, but still…) is amazing.
This is going to be one of the ‘I’ll play 5 mins’ games, only to fall asleep 36 hours later with the DualShock 3 glued to your hands by stale sweat.
Not often I say this for something this different that I haven’t heard of before, but this WILL be bought by me, no doubt.

I don’t understand this, just looks like a load of colours.

He has come a long way since his wrestling days, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_McGrath.
Still don’t get what this game is about, other then giving me a headache from watching the video! Maybe its a wrestling thing.
