My PS+ subscription ended a few weeks ago and I don't plan on renewing it anytime soon, so I hope that I can still experience the online component of the game without having to pay. It honestly feels a bit pointless playing Journey if you don't encounter any other players during your playthrough.
How do you tell? I finished the game and it told me I had encountered 4 other players. I don't remember seeing any.
Can Journey really be completed in 1 hour?

It's not on the store yet (I guess no pre-orders) but the UK site does at least confirm the release date as tomorrow:

No idea about the price for UK though...

Over here in Ireland, wondering how much it'll be in . It's usually pretty close to 1 to 1 with dollars but Sony seem to be doing nothing to promote it on this side of the atlantic.

How do you tell what? Sorry, I don't understand.
Very easily, in my experience. You don't even need pro speedrunner skills, too.
you probably didn't notice them but the game still tracked them. usually the other players appear near you but sometimes they don't
That you encountered another player. I got to the end of the game and it said I had encountered 4 players I believe. I don't actually remember encountering any other characters though.
This is apparently unlocking with the normal store update tomorrow, so no overnight release.
I haven't seen a trophy list yet, but the trend has been that the lists are identical between the PS3 release and the PS4 port.

Well you just run into them on a random basis. It's then up to you and/or the other person if you decide to stick together or not for the remainder of the game. If you and the other player drift apart far enough then you won't ever see him/her again. If you had 4 names during the end credits yet you didn't actually see anyone during your time spent playing the game then that's really weird.

Can't wait to play this again tomorrow. What a beautiful game. I'll tell you a quick story about my experience that really moved me...
I was alone for the first sequence and stumbled upon a player who seemed to know what he was doing. I followed him through the entire journey and we helped each other out throughout the playthrough. And right at the very end, just before... You know.... The guy/girl drew a heart in the sand in front of me and then leapt off into the distance. Made me well up big time. Such an amazing experience to have with a complete stranger. To see such kindness in a world of online trolling and such lol.

Is there any reason to replay it? Even if this is an incredible game, $12 for an hour is a lot.
Remember their April Fool's video?
I'd play that.

First timers, temper your expectations. Don't let the hyper hype get to you, play it as you would any other game.
Thank you for this. Going to pre-order now.
there's a few secrets/collectables to be found
game is well worth replaying in my opinion too. not just to find everything, but also because different playthroughs bring different experiences
I probably missed it. I wasn't too enamored of the game, so I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

One of my favourite games of all time.
I'll never forget
I honestly dont think any other game has even come close to moving me emotionally like Journey did, it is a masterpiece.
Cant wait to play it again!

approaching the top of the mountain, my character pushing through the blizzard, slowing to a crawl and finally falling into the snow. I went into the game blind, and it wasnt until that exact moment that I realised the whole game was a metaphor for life. From the birth and learning process at the beginning, to the golden years, the relationships made and lost, and finally old age... It really hit me fucking hard.

Its less gamey than Flower and better for it. Really is a great "experience" game to get lost in.
As much as I love Journey, listen to him/her.
The thing I love about it most is the music. For me, the game itself is more of an interactive journey through the music.

Fuck yeah I already own it then? Nice!
That music near the end when your making that flight/climb through the ribbon things is incredible

You're a big guy.
Can't wait for my first time playthrough.
At what time should we expect it to go up on UK PSN?

Yeah. It did have some short but really severe drops at times, but it maintained 30 fps like 95% of the time.
The music was actually what made me buy this game, after watching this video I just knew I had to get it.

I normally see this and think 'ok, sure, that's understandable'.
Not for Journey. Pony up the cash and enjoy the ride.

I only had one run and it was perfect. Met perfect companions though. Not sure if I'm ever going to do it a second time and maybe "tint" my perfect run.
It's not going to be for everyone but it was a very nice experience.
Only advise: explore, do it in one sitting (max 3 hours, probably less) and be online!
