Journey: thatgamecompany's next PSN game

I skipped Flow but enjoyed Flower quite a bit. I'm looking forward to Journey and hope that the gameplay isn't too abstract to be "fun".

damn, so we're not talking ....

In the most recent GamePro magazine, there was an interview with Jenova Chen. In it he mentions that even Fumito Ueda himself told him he was impressed with what the team had shown so far. High praise indeed from "Mr. Ico" himself.

Journey on the Atari 2600 was awful.

I thought flower was terrible. flow was pretty rad though.

I loved flower.

I played through Flower four times so far - twice on my own and once each helping my two daughters complete it.

Interview with the designer with game play footage:

Gorgeous, I love the aesthetic. Liked Flow, loved Flower, looks like a winner again to me!

Darn, Youtube content got removed.

Official release date: March 13, 2012.

As you may know from my recent tweet, the development of our latest PlayStation Network game, Journey, is finally complete. And today, we’re very excited to announce the official release date for Journey. You will be able to download it from the PlayStation Store for $14.99 starting March 13th, 2012. Three years ago, our last game, Flower, was part of the Spring Fever event on PSN, and this year Journey will kick off this year’s Spring Fever. Look for more information on the highlight games and sales of this year’s Spring Fever event on the PlayStation.Blog in the coming weeks....

Journey Takes It's First Steps This March

This game is getting rave reviews. I hadn't even heard of it until today.

PS+ members will get access to the game a week early.

So, I downloaded Journey last night. Played through about 4 levels/save points.

I thought I'd been playing for about 15 minutes--turns out it was closer to an hour. So far, I like it. Another gem from That Game Company, IMO.

Agreed. Holy amazing. Had someone pop in to my game and, without anything but the little music you can make, we were making an excellent co-op team.

It took me a little while to realize that the other person in my game was another real human and not just a CPU.

Heh--maybe that was me in your game and vice versa.

The folks over at That Game Company do create some visually stunning games. The game play is always unique and does not conform to any standard for any other genre (RPG, FPS etc.)

I like the uniqueness of each game, flOw, Flower & Journey are have a special something about them that appeals to different gamers.

When I picked up my new Samsung 55" LED D8000 I fired up Flower to really see what the display could crank out as far as colors and movement/motion was concerned. Very happy with how it looked, simply stunning.

Amazing game. I don't care how short it was, it was better than 90% of the $60 games. Looks great (that sand!) and the music was magnificent. I ended up co-oping with three strangers and it was way cool. At the end I was at the edge of my seat and emotionally gripped.

$15? Take my money That Game Company! I want to buy it for people, but don't know a good way. Do they sell game codes anywhere still?

Thanks everyone for the opinions. Usually I would wait for a sale, but I'm wanting the full effect of the multiplayer so I'll be in this weekend.

I've never felt Playstation Plus envy until now. The rest of us peons have to wait until next Tuesday.

@Crash44 ^^^ Yeah, same here. Gotta support creative developers.

To add to that I went into the PS+ part of the store last night and fund four free games I had missed. Some good stuff too. Sly Copper HD is also free this month.

My wife's out of town this weekend and the kid goes to bed at 7pm, so I'll be trying to catch up on the last year's gaming this Saturday.

I'll definitely check out the multiplayer for Journey.

Yup...I love Wednesdays when there's been a + update

Played through the game last night. Wonderful experience and recommended to anyone who likes games. Other than not being longer and leaving me wanting more, I don't have anything negative to say. Well, maybe this...

This game gets a 10/10.

Played through it this afternoon and really enjoyed it. Not a lot of replay value unless you're a trophy whore, but it's an experience worth having at least once.
