I don't think he completely ruled out it ever coming to xbox, he said the timed exclusivity deal was a formality that he had to sign to be part of the PS4 show, but that the game would be console exclusive to PS4 anyway even without that bit of paper.

If the player movement feels as smooth and fluid as it does in Dishonored I'll cry tears of joy. Simply jogging around and climbing ledges feels perfect in that game. This island looks pretty vast and is just begging to be explored. Hope there's at least a light jog button (no sprint).
Is it not about puzzle solving and being lost in the environment and stuff? Isolation in the environment. Not knowing what to do next? That's the vibe I got from reading its premise.
He outright confirmed it.
"When the XB1 version of The Witness comes out, internet fanboys' heads are going to explode or something."

Looks like a modern take on Myst if you ask me.
Well that's fantastic, thanks.

Really hope this still launches at the same time on PC. Would be pretty annoying if it comes out a few months after the PS4 port.

This'll scratch my Myst itch so very hard.
I've heard of that but didn't know what it was like till now. My mistake, I was of course just comparing it to my own experiences.

Dat stylized Myst. Looks great.
That is the impression I'm getting. Which is a very good thing indeed. It's been too long.

I'm really looking forward to this game. This plus Rime are going to sell me a PS4.

That looks fantastic!
If the puzzles aren't too repetitive this will be brilliant.

This is a game that I really don't know much about but I'm sold. Great art style and it's headed up by Blow. After playing Braid and following him on Twitter I've really become a fan.
This one looks super.
Reminds me Dr. Evil Volcano's Lair.
This with Transistor are the two games i'm interested for ps4 so far.

I wish more AAA next-gen games went for this kind of graphical fidelity. But coupled it with much more detailed destructible environments, physics and character animations.
Stop wasting money on 3D and texture artists! Hire more programmers!

Actually, I think he gave up on the iOS version. But I might be misremembering that.

Put this up for pre-order on the PS4 store so I can throw my money in the devs direction. One of the most anticipated PSN PS4 titles.
I don't think so? If so, that's the first I've heard about it, and would make me significantly less hyped.

You can point and click at things but the island is open to explore. I don't know where this info came from but it certain does nothing to dampen my hype.

Looks good. Wonder when it will be released?
So is it first person exploration but with Myst like point and click puzzles or what? Or is it just a first person adventure game with puzzles? This game is confusing as hell
Well, I mean, I just want to able to walk around the island with the analog sticks. I don't want Myst-like movement, which is what I thought he was referring to.
