Sony Announces Folklore Character Design Competition
How does Sony go about getting some good PR coverage for its forthcoming Folklore outing - developed by Genji creator, Game Republic? Simple, it merely asks gamers to design characters that they want to see in the game, thus also getting some design work done for free at the same time.

Bargain!

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has just announced details of its 'Create A Folk' competition for Folklore, a game in which you play a journalist on a third rate occult magazine!

In Sony's own words, Folklore features: “a skilfully-woven tapestry of colourful landscapes and characters, gripping supernatural storyline and intuitive, motion-sensitive gameplay". All this, “takes place in the mysterious Netherworld – a supernatural realm populated by Folks whose powers must be captured and harnessed in order to survive. There are over 100 Folk, each with their own unique personalities and individual style of combat – and now we want gamers to provide one more.”

If you fancy yourself as a budding character designer and can conceive of a supernatural creature “worthy of sitting alongside the gelatinous Agar Agar, the spike-furred Bugaboo, the boulder-bodied Spriggan or the cavern-mouthed Fomoire” then head over to eu.playstation.com to enter.
