What!? That is so funny, ridiculous!

 

[RadarScope1]

Can I get a witness!

Amen!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

So many puns

 

[Spongebob]

Beautiful graphics at 1080p/60fps

 

[Freeman]

After Braid this game is a sure bet. Looks gorgeous, I didn't expect 60fps.

 

[Cse]

Do we have any idea on how large the island will be?

 

[sono]

Release it when its done..Sounds good to me and I really like the look of this.



but..

how do you pay wages for an increasing length of time without income. doesnt there come a point where you have to release it where it is at ?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

This and Rime will keep me a happy bunny for quite some time.

 

[Black Republican]

cant wait for this game, really hope its still a 2014 game

 

[inm8num2]

Really looking beautiful. This will hopefully be the kind of game in which the player takes his/her time and just soaks in the atmosphere while exploring, the way we used to do in some adventure games.

 

[leadbelly]

Witness does what Watch Dogs don't.

The Witness is one of the games that probably needs 60fps the least.

 

[Stampy]

why. I was always of the impression that the game is rather slow paced.

He said least.

That.

 

[Seanspeed]

If its gonna have Morpheus support(which is confirmed? or at least highly likely), it'll need to be 60fps.

 

[-COOLIO-]

i was thinking about this and i think 60fps really fits the clean visual style. the art is crisp and precise.

 

[KennyLinder]

Why do people think only fast games need 60fps? It benefits ANY game.

 

[Jesb]

1080p and 60fps in most sections. I thought a puzzler or any indie game would be able to do that the whole game on PS4. This gen really is underwhelming if indie games are also not able to do what I thought would be standard for at least indie games.

 

[Acquiescence]

That horrifying moment when I realise you're right.

Although to be honest, it's the whole 900p deal with Watch Dogs that annoys me, not its frame rate. 30 was a given.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

That looks neat.

oh my god

 

[Seanspeed]

Because its what they're used to.

 

[CraZed]

Can't wait to play this on my PS4 AND my new Vita via remote play.

 

[DeejayKnight]

Looks so fucking gorgeous.

Y'know, it still takes actual effort on the part of the designers to accomplish. You still have to gate and design the world so the whole thing isn't loading at the same time. They'll get there.

 

[StuBurns]

When all you're doing is driving a line puzzle, that movement needs to be as satisfying as possible. 60 will be really pleasant for it.

 

[Matush]

Day One, I'm sucker for beautiful "art" games. Same goes for Rime.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Art style looks like a PC game, and overall a gorgeous game.

COD: Ghosts had framerate issues on a Titan at launch. Does that mean the performance of a Titan is underwhelming? Optimization happens with every game, regardless of platform.

 

[benny_a]

Yeah, I tried to play Hearthstone on variable frame rate and it's over. I tried to like it but not when it drops frames man. FUCK THAT SHIT!

 

[Riderz1337]

I wonder why this is only posted by fanboys in articles where the game isn't 1080P/60 FPS.

Oh right I answered my own question...Fanboys.

Boy, do you not understand what you're talking about. Don't let that stop you from offering cogent technical analysis like this in the future.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Why is this deal taking so long?

Wasn't supposed to be out shortly after launch?

 

[keit4]

So when is this coming to PC?

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

So when is this coming to PC?

Should be at the same time as PS4, so in other words, probably never.

 

[family_guy]

Wasn't this supposed to be a launch window title? When does it come out?

 

[Jesb]

Y'know, it still takes actual effort on the part of the designers to accomplish. You still have to gate and design the world so the whole thing isn't loading at the same time. They'll get there.

And all this time I thought they'd just push the optimize button on the keyboard.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Wasn't this supposed to be a launch window title? When does it come out?

Not officially, though I'm sure people were hoping (I know I was). It comes out when Jonathan Blow says it's done.

 

[paperheart]

By the Gods, those screenshots are just wonderful. :O

Jonathan Blow, take all the time you need. Make this game as good as possible. I'll be patiently waiting for it's release.

That is so clever. I love it.

 

[Handy Fake]

I wonder why this is only....

?

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Nice visuals! Im expecting this one!
It remember me of RIME, that also was looking awesome! Hope both shows up again on E3.

 

[nbthedude]

I'd rather play this on Steam than on PS4. I'm wondering if it is a simultaneous release.

 

[Sendou]

I think I saw him saying something that strongly implies that. Can't find the link now though. I did saw a link of Steam version getting both Steam Controller and Oculus Rift support. Cool stuff!

 

[OneUh8]

This has been a day 1 game for me for a while now. Hope it releases this year, but from the sounds of it, I would not be surprised to see a 2015 release now.

 

[Horns]

I know almost nothing about the game, but really want it.

 

[vdo]

 

[Amir0x]

1080p/60fps.

*salute* Will buy instant

 

[postcyberpunk]

there are a few very important locations that are still in a draft stage

This game is not shipping until 2015.

Still a day one purchase and one of my most anticipated games.

 

[PaineReign]

5 year development time and counting eh? I'm assuming Blow is putting all his eggs into this being a success then.

I think he made some comment about him spending all the Braid money (about 4 million) on it, but adding the caveat that if the game is unsuccessful, it would be fine because he would just get a day job and make another smaller game.

Basically, it seems like he doesn't stress too much about the sales.
