[kassatsu]

That's crazy, it's really not much of an embargo if people can post articles like that.

There is a lot of stuff we can't even mention in the reviews

There is a lot of stuff we can't even mention in the reviews

You've finished it? Could you possibly answer one question?

In the beta, there were three optional 'cutscenes', which seemed significant in their role of telling the game's story. Do you have to search everywhere to get a real understanding of the story, or can you just go thru naturally, and maybe hunt every area on a second play thru?

If you can't answer that, that's cool of course.

Journey |OT| You figure it out

Review embargo lifts on Thursday March 1st.

I clenched my teeth and curled my fists into tight little balls while reading those tweets. Haven't been this excited about an imminent release in forever.

 

[kassatsu]

Also the US embargo is march 2nd at 9am. That march first date might be wrong because scee forgot it was leap year.

Stuburns: you will not miss any of the storytelling.

Stuburns: you will not miss any of the storytelling.

Excellent, thank you.

I'm disgustingly excited for this game.

 

[kassatsu]

People can post trophies starting tomorrow. Fair warning there are some spoilers in there.

 

[Zoibie]

I'm very excited about this, it's been way too long since the beta. Just a few short weeks left.

 

[V_Ben]

It's sound like journey is a short game.

It didn't feel short.

Dying for this! So close, this wait really does feel unbearable. It shall be so serene, so blissful!

 

[BruiserBear]

I have been casually interested in this game from afar, but haven't really looked into exactly what it's about. How positive was the reaction to the beta?

Overwhelmingly, on GAF at least, but to be fair, the chances are high they were for the most part ThatGameCompany fans already.

I'm going to have to replay Flower (again) to get me in the right mood before this releases.

 

[GeoramA]

It's sound like journey is a short game.

I put about 6 hours into the beta, and that was just 3 levels. The game is a blast.

Is camera control tilt only or is there a stick option?

Both. They kept it in. You can also invert and stuff.

Cool thanks

Are there annoying trophy popups in the middle of gameplay?

seems like he liked it

man, will i be pissed if there's connection issues or something and i don't meet anyone during my playthrough.. that better not happen. already kinda ruined Dark Souls for me :|

 

[StuBurns]

I've been considering playing solo first time, because I'm worried of people fucking around trying to spoil it for people. Then again, I'll play it day one, you'd have to be dedicated to being a twat to start trolling ten minutes after it goes on sale.

It has to be this one.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Can't believe nobody mentioned the obvious ones:

Journey |OT| Just a smalltown girl living in a lonely world
Journey |OT| Don't stop believing

 

[seady]

GOTY.

Can't believe you didn't know mine was that.

Thanks bro, I was about to read it.

 

[timetokill]

Based on what? We don't know how long it is.

It's about 2 hours.

 

[GeoramA]

n/m

 

[StuBurns]

It's about 2 hours.

Really? That's less than Flower. Surprising.

Maybe straight path, but I spent more than that in the beta personally.

Cant talk about trophies until tomorrow

 

[Patapwn]

I'm not sure where 2 hours is coming from, but I remember a statement from genova claiming you could beat the game in 3 hours. There's a distinction between a game being X hours long and a game being beatable in X hours. I guess we'll find out soon though

@johnnyminkley 7.1 surround sound heaphones and the lights off = perfect. There are too many amazing moments to mention.

I hope this runs in remote play with the Vita

 

[StuBurns]

I don't even remotely doubt this game is incredible, but man, I hope the hyperbole doesn't cause some huge backlash, I can see it happening.

There is always backlash. A ton of gamers won't get this game. I say fuck 'm all. The beta was my GOTY 2011 and Flower was my GOTY 2009. This game is going to be pure bliss.

Same for me, but the Flower backlash really irritated me.

Make me buy a PS3 Sony. Remote Play for all games.

 

[The_Monk]

Will be getting on day one, March 14th and celebrating on my birthday March 16th.

Can't wait!

 

[Danielsan]

Same for me, but the Flower backlash really irritated me.

It definitely got to me too. At some point I just decided to avoid it all. You can't win those people over. Their loss really.

 

[nofi]

Just adding to the hype. Finished the game at the weekend there and it's the single best thing I've played in years.

Fucking amazing.
