E3 2016: Bound is the Latest Beautiful Game Out of Santa Monica

Why such the long face?

Why didn't they show this!? This looks cool!

Yeah! Totally into this.

Whoooa this is stellar

Woah.

The use of dance as a way to animate movement in the character looks gorgeous.

I hope this is more than just a really pretty, basic platformer.

Love the look of this. Did they show it?

It's a super cool idea and really impressively done, but I'm not totally sold on it as a game.

@gmoneychuck: Yea, that is some of the best animation I think I've seen, looks pretty incredible.

This is amazing

A game that puts so much an emphasis on elegance that it incorporates real forms of elegant movment (ex. flag dancing, ballerina tiptoe movement when walking on ledges) into the characters interaction with the world around it. Intriguing....also, I must add, this is one damn fine looking game as well.

I've always wanted to be an anthropomorphic version of Cardcaptor Sakura's wand.

But, for realsies, why wasn't this on stage at Sony? This is short and wonderful. I bet it could've pushed at least a few thousand more copies if they showed it on stage at E3 :'(

Good that they show the woman resting at the end there. Walking around en pointe like that all the time, her feet and ankles must be nothing but scar tissue and calcium.

I just don't know. They seem to check all the boxes for a beautiful, mysterious, artsy game. But I'm just not feeling it. Unlike for example, Journey, that wowed me with its beauty and mystery, here I feel that they try to push those positive things down my throat. Maybe it's the constant ballet, I just don't know ;).

Thank god some people have moved away from reality in terms of graphics.

I want multiple buttons dedicated to dancing

If anyone is curious, this is actually a non-commissioned song that you can listen to on Heinali's own soundcloud. The track is 'Little by Little'.

I don't get it.

That looks really wonderful. The movement together with the music actually gave me some chills. It seemed like there was some combat or something with that black swarm, too? I'm really, really intrigued by this.

Another game that gives me Journey vibes! :D

Wow, I normally think of interpretive dance as kind of a joke but that was really enjoyable. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm looking forward to more.

This is another stunner. I hope it's a solid experience and lives up to such a cool trailer.

Dance is the weapon.
