Journey (from the maker of flOw and Flower)
Preview: Journey | Joystiq Deveoper: thatgamecompany Release date: TBA Quote:
I initially post this in the Adventure section because it looks to feel more like an adventure game, though according to the report it will involve some platforming. If a mod deems it not worthy of being in this section please move it to General Games. There look to be puzzles, cooperative problem solving and exploration with other online adventurers, and treasure hunting. And I still hadn't finished playing Flower.

Yeah I saw this pop up at e3. Sounds very promising, but I'd prefer to see some actual video myself . It's frustrating when journalists have to describe it to us, especially with something as unique as this.

Pretty graphics , the description reminds me of the zen like Shadow of the Colossus.
The makers of SOTC has a new title that looks really fantastic with a bit of adventure elements. The last guardian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHzHoMT5eRg Last edited by marshal99; 06-18-2010 at 06:20 PM. |

If any of you are unfamiliar with thatgamecompany's previous releases, check out this one. I say it's a adventure game in the most pure essence of the term, even if this site disagrees with me. Flower gameplay footage | PS3 (put on your headphones and crank it up) While we discussed this game in another gaming forum I moderate, this guy was talking about his emotional reaction while playing the game... Quote:
I had K, one of my oldest nieces, play the game. She absolutely loved it. But after completing the first several chapters with the beautiful meadows and canyons and wind turbines, she tried to play the chapter with the lightning storm and the electrical towers and the ruined blackened landscape. She couldn't handle it so I had to take over. I imagine Journey may offer a similar emotional experience to us.
