^I agree.
Typical Sony.Rather than buying a trully talented dev they give instead millions of dollars to buy mediocre studios like Sucker Punch.

But almost all of those $60 short games have some sort of replay value. Either co-op or multiplayer modes.

Yeah they could have cut out the last half of the game with no complaint from me.

Wow, some nice reviews there. Only March and it already looks like the downloadable GOTY has been released. Given I'm still playing Dark Souls and about to pick up Binary Domain a two or three hour "interactive poem" seems just the right length.

I really can't wait.

I paid about $15 to see Tree of Life.
I'll pay $15 to play Journey.
I'm a sucker for wondrous vagaries and existential experiences.

That implies they wanted to be bought, or that Sony wanted to buy them, both things might not be true. For all we know they pitched their next game to Sony and Sony declined.
I don't know why people are so eager for any independent talent to be swallowed up by a publisher.
I don't think so, my mother said I was special.
What?

Anybody know if this is 1080p native like Flow and Flower?

It's never too late to get bought out
SP was a good buy. Opinions.
I see the potential for replay value in Journey. It looks like something I will come back to at least a handful of times, if not more. The co-op is there as well. It's slightly shorter than Twisted Metal, SSX etc... which are full price $65 games. I'd take Journey over those two any day, and at a fraction of the price too.
Awesome stuff. I had no interest in Flow or Flower, but Journey is truly stunning. Still kinda unsure about how substantial puzzles are and stuff, but just looking at IGN's video review.....daaaammmmmnnnn.
Short length isn't much of a problem for me. Mirror's Edge was short, but totally fun. Short but consistently fun games are better than long games that are padded and drag anyway (ugh, Zelda). I'm good just as long as it's something I'd want to replay. And if the game is good, then it will be.

Because as anddo0 also said,exclusivity can bring better results (not always though),because the studios are more focused and they are getting extra technical help from the platform publisher to explore the hardware capabilities even more.
Seems it's about the 'Journey', not about getting there. Meaning you'll probably go back to it. And as the best experience seems to be about having another human along, putting two creative creatures together and giving them a toy is always a source of 'new'.
What I mean to say is that you'll never play through exactly the same 3 hours over and over again.
Maybe thatgamecompany didn't want to be bought. Just take a look at Insomniac. They didn't want to be bought. For all we know, Sony may have offered to buy the studio and they refused.
Sony already tried buying thatgamecompany from what I remember and they were told tgc wasn't for sale.
They are a company you like to smear though.

Like LiMBO, $15 for a 3 hour game is acceptable imo, provided it's enjoyable.
However, seeing 1.5 and 2 hours being thrown around is a little concerning!

Is the co-op local also, or just online?
Put me on the list also of those who would buy a 3-pack thatgamecompany disc, even though i already have 2 digitally, soon to be 3.

Online only.
Online only. The anonymous traveler concept would be lost locally, also split screen would be detrimental to the game.
beaten!

Not interested at 15. Hopefully it will get discounted by half for Plus members soon.

I need to play this already
Here's my review: http://www.ps3site.pl/recenzja-podroz-ps3psn/102598 10/10
It's in polish, so probably you would throw it into translator.
edit:
English translation, can be not 100% accurate in translation, so be warned.

Nah, that quote is straight-up vile. Nasty stuff.

2-3 hours is kinda
That being said, it looks totally worth. I'm sure it will inspire multiple playthroughs, thus making the it's length irrelevant.
Surprising coming from someone with an ICO avatar, that game is a handful of hours max and was a full retail release. Worth the price? Of course it was.

Dammit, I want to read all these great reviews, but I'm deathly afraid of spoilers. I already got a glance this morning of the aesthetic from later in the game and that was too much.

WOW
I know it won't be too bad, but what little I've read from the couple reviews I glanced at already convinced me I need to go in absolutely clean. Anything discussed beyond the beta's confines is more than I'm willing to bear
