My first time I had a long list of names, I saw only one that disappeared when I walked up to him, any other playthroughs had long lists as well but I never saw anyone.

I really like the Journey theme you get for pre-ordering. I love the little icons and Journey sounds it makes when you move through the menus.
I was thinking of delaying, but I might jump in while it's fresh. It'll be nice to have a big flurry of players all at once.
I'm not subscribed to PS+ at the moment, so I guess I'll need to be, to enjoy the MP.

Never saw that. Awesome!!Remember their April Fool's video?
I hope everyone that is playing this for the first time enjoys this gem. Absolutely stunning game. Beautiful, minimalistic perfection. It has all in the perfect measure, nothing lacking, and nothing in excess. I though understand that someone can be deterred by the shortness of the game, but there is a huge incentive to replay it, and the hinted story of the culture in the architecture and the hieroglyphs is enough to make someone's imagination run wild. At least it did so for me. Enjoy!

No pre-loading, midnight unlock for me
Really going to enjoy playing this again tomorrow. I need stuff like this lately 'cause I can't focus on big stuff right now. Also got someone who needs to play it 'cause they liked Flower but never got to play this.
This. It was already at "wow, Journey won GOTY?" by the time I got to it, since I didn't have a PS3 for a period of time and a lot of my friends had already started never shutting up about it, so it would have been really easy to let the skepticism take over and go in hyper critical. I'm glad I just rolled with it.

Stop giving it context, then.
Anyone that hasn't played really shouldn't be here.
Hope they sort that out for cross buyers, I really want that theme! Transistor theme is getting old.
Same! I want it terribly!
Shouldn't be in the OT for the game they are excited to play for the first time?
Can we not have a week spoiler free rule or something? Or a no spoilers OT? Because I too would like to not be spoiled, but still discuss.
What? It's an OT for a game, where do you get off saying people who haven't played shouldn't be here?

Don't know about completing it in an hour, but if you rush through it and know what you're doing, you can get through 3/4 of the game within an hour (speak from personal experience).
Not something I'd recommend for first-timers, though. As I said earlier in the thread, soak it in, enjoy the experience and embrace what happens.
Are you serious?
Huh? This is an OT, not a spoiler thread.

This is the stupidest comment I have read on the internet all day. The OT is the correct place for newcomers to the game. Obviously.

Despite playing the game digitally at launch, I doubt much would really be too different when running off of the disc.
Regardless, there were only a few places where I noticed some hitches in the framerate, but mostly it ran really smoothly and quite solidly on PS3.
Ugh. It's not, for anyone that's intentionally trying to avoid spoilers. Which is what I meant to specifically point out. From story to gameplay spoilers, you could expect spoilers of every aspect of the game in this topic.
If you specifically don't want to be spoiled, the OT is not the place to be. Notably, because this is a port of a 3 year old game.
That's hard to do because then the whole "it's three years old!" and "it's not really a spoiler" arguments a come out. By the time anything is settled, everyone will be playing the game. I personally, consider it a common courtesy to not post gifs of memorable moments of a 2 hour game. Good luck trying to discuss without someone posting an entire spread of every environment before noon tomorrow.
Either way. Whatever. It'll be memorable spoiled or not.
I think you got OT's and spoiler threads twisted.

PS3 version is £11.99. I'm not sure there's gonna be a discount like in the US (they have a PS PLAY deal).

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
That's awful. I'm disconnecting my wi-fi.

This reminds me, has Thatgamecompany done anything since Journey? do we know what state they're in, what they're working on?
It's not, trust us.
Just play it, as it's integral to the experience.
They are working on a multiplatform game, but that's as much as we know.
No, I'm quite aware of the difference, I think you meant to quote someone else.

While that's true, given the game's length and relatively simple gameplay, the OT really only needs to convey a single thing for people that haven't already played, and that's "You should play this game and not come back to this topic until you have".
Like, there's nothing you can really talk about with the game, given its length and simple mechanics, which wouldn't touch on potential spoilers.

There's not even a store page in Europe yet. What the hell
Nope, I quoted the correct post. Regardless of time of release, OT's are generally free of spoilers unless it's specified in the thread title or there's use of the spoiler tags.
However, people might be less careful with remasters, I imagine. Anyway, your initial post refers to OT's in general, and those are supposed to be spoiler free so that's where people get their info before and during their playthroughs.
Depends who you're playing with though.
Every now and then, there's going to be that one person who won't stop pressing the signal button and implicitly insists you follow them somewhere.

Playing the game online is a must. And if you get matched with the appropiate player it will be one of the best gaming experience you'll ever had.
I don't think that's a spoiler.

I don't think you read/understood/interpreted their post right.

This is the launch trailer:

Don't watch if you don't want to see parts from later in the game.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
The biggest surprise for me was realizing the game was online.
I straight up thought I was playing with an AI until the surfing time was over.
I was like, this is where all the budget went. Amazing AI.
Then it hit me:
OH SHIT! This cute fluttery bastard is totally some guy/gal helping me out!
That's when the fuzzy feels began...

Not knowing this and accidentally completing it in one sitting was one of the best experiences last gen.
What was the point then? The majority of people dont want to be spoiled, but still want to enjoy OT's.
Edit. Oh Lord, I was quoting the wrong person indeed. Hahah, my bad Sorian.

never got around to playing this so i bought this (along with EGTTR) on the play now thing going on.
Yep glorious MP, you definitely form a bond with your buddy, i remember playing on launch day and FREAKING OUT when id lose track of my partner. Two silent wanderers, just fumbling towards the mountain together... perfection.
Hah, there you go. No worries though.
