Journey: the third PSN game from thatgamecompany

by Andrew Yoon on Jun 16th 2010 1:55AM

thatgamecompany, best known for flOw and Flower, has rather covertly announced another PSN exclusive. Journey follows the footsteps of its predecessors, offering "simple gameplay and accessible controls."

Unlike thatgamecompany's previous offerings, however, Journey is an "online adventure experience" that has players encountering strangers. According to the press release, traveling with others will "re-shape the experience -- creating authentic moments that they will remember and discuss with others."

It sounds a lot like Chat Roulette, doesn't it? The Journey begins on PS3 in 2011.
[Thanks, Stan K.!]

this, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Portal 2 made my E3

"It sounds a lot like Chat Roulette, doesn't it? "

Except Journey won't have a penis shoved in your face every 30 seconds... hopefully.

Also, I know it'll probably have custom soundtrack support, but I wanna listen to Journey while playing Journey.

@sonicspike41

You better have "Don't Stop Believing" in that custom track, cause I'm willing to bet that song syncs up with this game on so many levels, it would blow your mind...

@sonicspike41

Not yet, but I will when this comes out. That, and maybe a little Wheel In The Sky.

@sonicspike41

Your right, it will be a penis, IN 3D! O_O

Hanging with strangers turned friends in what looks like an endless desert? That actually sounds interesting, I just hope a dune worm will try to attack us every now and again.

is that Professor Layton wandering the desert?

@Gourd British

Looks like the King of All Cosmos.

Why the hell wasn't this at Sony's keynote? Don't they realize that thatgamecompany is on par with Kojima as far as creativity is concerned? Didn't they have faith that thatgamecompany's game would have garnered a respectable amount of attention? Screw the Move, I would've loved to heard about this instead.

@PilzE wants your mint spaghetti
They also didn't show The Last Guardian... Sony needs to step up their game at TGS

@PilzE wants your mint spaghetti I wondered the same thing... maybe it wasn't ready for show it in movement just yet?

This sounds boring. I bought both flOw and Flower based on the hype, and I think I played both about five minutes, then never touched them again.

@ItsameMatt03 Cool story, bro.

@ItsameMatt03

So you bought one game based on hype, played it for 5 minutes, decided you didn't like it, then bought the second game, played it for 5 minutes, decided you didn't like it, then finally decided to come into a post about their third game and tell us how you don't like it before any concrete details have even been revealed?

... And yes that was one giant sentence.

@ItsameMatt03

It wasn't like Flower was a sequel to flOw. I had several people recommend Flower to me even after I told them I barely played flOw, and of course I bought it and didn't like it. Based on that, I'll assume anything thatgamecompany makes that seems to have similar asthesics will be boring.

@ItsameMatt03

You know, I had a lot of people tell me that Windows ME was terrible, and I actually tried it once, and it was pretty bad. Then I had a bunch of people tell me that Vista was terrible, and it really seemed like that. And they weren't exactly alike either.

So I decided that every Windows OS ever made is just bad simply because 2 of them were bad. Anytime Windows makes an OS and it looks like a Windows OS I know it's going to be bad and boring.

Is this a remake of the old Atari 2600 game that featured Journey ?

@GreyGhost

I can only hope.

You know you just replied to yourself.. right?

Also, you should append "for me at least" at the end of your last comment. Quite a lot of people love their stuff and think it's amazing. I for one think it's more interesting and worthy of a sequel than a game like Modern Warfare 2. :\

Those screenshots definitely look cool, plus I have a lot of respect for thatgamecompany so I will absolutely keep an eye out for a release date.

Fantastic!

ahh, this is the best thing about this generation of consoles is downloadable games. Just that small simple concepts that would never make a full game can still be explored by smaller studios, and enjoyed by players.

I see what you guys are doing tharr

Looks like a missing section of Nier. The sand people or whatever the hell they were.

F-cking God d-mn it, futurestiq. You're worse than Ultrastiq.

Brings a whole new meaning to Stone in Love

This game looks totally awesome. I gotta see game play.

That looks absolutely lovely.

Looks amazing. It makes me think of Shadow of the Colossus.

@(Unverified) Unverified?

Journey? Looks cool, I guess, but I was really looking forward to Flowest.

Does this make anyone else think of the book "The Alchemist"?

These people haven't made a bad game. All three so far are great. This one HAS to be just as good.

i really enjoyed flow and flower, so color me intrigued...
but i'm not sure about interacting with random strangers, that never seems to work out well.

Let me guess, I walk around a desert, and bump into tombstones, and they make my cloak longer?
