    Yeah, it must be depressing for people who are over 35. I don't really see why they need to specify the upper bound unless many gamers fall into that category.

    [chuckle] It reminds me of some celebs who are 35 every year.

    YES ! One of my 3 most anticipated items for this E3.... :)


    Jevona Chen, would you please make this into an AR game ? Like transforming my office and Bay Area buildings into desert with "sand waterfall" and flower bed ? And allow us to piece all together in a global virtual world ? :twisted:

    The concept behind the game is just really interesting. Don't know if it'll be fun as much as it'll be an experience but I'm looking forward to that the most.

    They've nailed it twice now, I think I'll be okay in saying even now that I'll be picking this up when it's released. Even if I don't know any more about it than I do now.

    I fit the bill, but I definitely don't want to participate in the beta to avoid spoiling the game for myself. :p

    I just hope it'll be more than just pointlessly faffing about in pretty environments. Flower was a very laid back and relaxing experience, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy oneself just for heck of it. However at the end it still had basic video game goals. In order to keep things fresh, every level put some fresh and essentially rather traditional obstacles between you and said goals. There was a clear sense of progression to motivate you ever further. If Journey really is just about wandering from start to finish, with a little singing and dune surfing in between, that bold experiment may very well end up a rather boring one that gets old very fast. I think Noby Noby boy is a good example of how novelty alone isn't enough to carry a game. If a game that lets you eat a woman and a cow and then poop out a woman with a cow-head gets boring after a couple of hours, how long is a game where you trek across some dunes gonna last?

    Anyway, I'm still excited and I will most likely still buy it day one. I'm just not sold a 100% on it yet.

    The game has some collection element (collecting fragments of cloth), which gives you different abilities to solve puzzles together. I think the articles mentioned the players have to find the end goal or goals.

    I agree with what you said about Noby Noby Boy though.

    EDIT:

    I remember one of the trailers showed a flying craft for the player to interact with.

    Thanks for shedding some light onto the situation. I just watched the Gametrailers interview and when it was over I was pretty much none the wiser for it, hence my concern that there may be not a whole lot to the game afterall.

    At this point, I hope someone makes a Patapon + Journey game. Engaging hordes of Patapons in an unknown world, disrupting their beats, sizzling their army under the hot desert Sun while they summon their Rain juju should be devilishly fun (for me at least. :cool:).
