Valkyria Chronicles doing great things with watercolors.

Sega’s Valkyria Chronicles, a PS3 exclusive that so far seems to be best known for an E3 montage mistake that made people think it was a PSP game, looks damn good.
I don’t know how much gameplay info you’ll get out of this Sony-produced “live from E3″ interview with the slightly uncomfortable Christopher Kaminski, but the cutscene stuff begs to be seen. It’s like a moving watercolor painting, using a rendering system named the Canvas Engine. It reminds me both of the luscious pastels of Eternal Sonata (also coming to PS3 after last fall’s appearance on the 360) and the high art sumi-e stylings of Okami.

Yeah this title makes me want to buy a PS3, love the style although I wish the camera zoomed in more.
Yeah, I just downloaded the video for it last night, since the game style is right-up-the-alley of the type my wife likes. Too bad she doesn’t like “guns and tanks”.
I *LOVE* the cel-shaded-esque graphics. They work so well in telling the story. That was one of my favorite features from the Sly Cooper series.

LOL. What wife does?
