Sounds like a dream come true.
I've been in mood for some cryptic adventure game since I finished Fez.

Everything looks and sounds fantastic in this game.
The same feeling like I had when I've been watching Journey vids

No joke my most anticipated PS4 game.
If it had Oculus support I would explode.
Coming off of Unfinished Swan and Dear Esther recently these types of first person experiences have become extremely appealing to me. Hopefully we'll see a return to the M.Y.S.T era with higher fidelity graphics and more interaction.
GLORIOUS.

I'm seeing a notable Myst influence in there.
This is not a bad thing.

Man that looks great.
It's an open world so you are free to explore the island.

I thought this looked interesting when it was first shown off, but I guess I missed it getting moved to next gen consoles. It'll probably be a long time before I get to play it now.

I'm not completely sure either, but it certainly looks intriguing.
Would I be right in saying that is a bit like 'The Room' on iPad but in an open-world? Anyone?
This sums modern-day FPS up for me. Used to be so much fun discovering hidden rooms etc. It's a crying shame that the first ever FPS games - Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM - have far, far superior level design than any FPS in the last 10-15 years.
Was thinking same. I want to be IN that island.

Yea I feel the same. Reminds me a lot of Myst, which I adore. Can't wait for this!

Pure money. I want this game so badly. If there's any shot of this being a $20-30 launch title, I'll get this alongside KZ: Shadow Fall, Watch Dogs, maybe Destiny or Diablo III, all Day One (if the latter two actually end up being launch titles).

I get a huge MYST vibe too. I love games where you placed in a environment completely alone and can just explore. Its a pretty lacking concept in todays games.
What a great news!
Well money well spent for me then.

This game looks fucking beautiful. And this "conversations with creators" is excellent as well. Sony pretty much has my money.

Maze like, find the key/switch game design gave way to half-life style 'narriative fps' design.
The problem is, how do you tell a story in an FPS like game, and keep the player engaged? IMHO, the answer should be in a game like Deus Ex, or other semi-open world level design. Have hub areas connecting multibranched, exploration filled areas.

I'm thinking this game will be the next FEZ.

It's pretty much confirmed for PC but same day as PS4?
Same day, it seems like the iOS version will be a little later though.

The Witness is probably the game that interested me most at Sony's Meeting.
Thanks for this.

Oh cool, I may get in on PC if I can't get a PS4 day 1.

Aw, really? lol I thought it was a timed exclusive, ps4 hype deflated if I can just pick it up in Steam day one. It'll run better on my PC anyway.

Sha'damn! I was expecting something far more bite size! Excited!
As much as I loathe Blow, this looks gorgeous, and I'll probably get this.
ThisÂ…does not excite me.

Is every puzzle in the game based on connecting points with lines? That seems like it could get boring after a while. I mean I get that the puzzles all have different rules, but still, it feels like it lacks variety.
But then again, there's obviously more than meets the eye, so I'll have to reserve judgement. I'm still getting it day 1 regardless

This game looks beautiful. I'm still a little lost on what is going on in it, but somehow I feel like thats a part of it. lol

I'm really impressed; it's open world and yet everything is rendered so perfectly, every little detail looks like it's been created with a lot of attention and care. I also like their open approach to how to tackle the puzzles and whatnot.
20+ hours of amazing visuals and fun puzzles? Sign me up. I'd like to hear more of what we can expect from the game's audio, it seems like the kind of game where the music is really integral to the overall experience. I wonder if this will be a PS4 launch title?

From what I've heard, that's just the way you communicate with the world, not the actual puzzles. Don't quote me on that though.
