    Looks very intriguing. Not sure how well it work but I appreciate any game company willing to give a new idea a go.

    The setting looks cool, but I didn't get a sense of what you actually did in the game besides walking to a mountain.

    I am really excited for this, Flower was great and Flow was pretty cool. This game looks much larger than those and I love the core ideas behind the experience they mention in the videos and interviews about it.

    it's been in development longer than the vita's been a thing, I think. Good chance of porting it, I'd say.

    I certainly hope so. This would look astounding on that screen and its length seems perfect for a portable...you could finish it twice on one charge!

    I just played through the game in one sitting (about 2-2.5 hours).



    The game is incredible, I dont know how to describe it. I'm going to be perfectly honest... there was at least 2 points where I got emotionally overwhelmed by it all. I've never had something like that happen to me in a game before. I feel like I shared something great with my new anonymous friend, im sad to see them go :(.

    I know this is going to sound or seem pretentious to some (know that im not usually one to wax poetical) but that was one of the greatest things ever, and I hope other people have a similar experience.

    that was amazing.

    I am stunned sitting here staring at the title screen. that was so well done. no game has ever moved me as much, or made me feel so human. also literally some of the most gorgeous scenery/moments in any game ever

    during the final push or the return to the source, so to speak, my companion and I were walking on either side. I slowly shifted into the center, and then my companion followed suit, creating a single being. I started crying


    This game will create better people and promote unity, love and general respect for all life. I sincerely thank the creators

    So you can run through the game in under 3 hours?

    yup. some may do it solo in 2, but you have no reason to rush through this. quite the opposite.

    I had an interesting blend of solo and companion journeying that actually worked out beautifully. I journeyed with some very patient people who were all about sharing and providing energy for jumping/gliding. Me n one dude actually both ended up getting the meditation achievement by taking a second after an intense section to soak in a vista. Some dudes and I would signal out to alert the other to a glowing spirit upgrade, and I sang together with this one player.

    also this would not be very enjoyable or impactful on a Vita. Needs to be played on a big beautiful screen with a surround system, in a dark quiet room, alone

    I need a PS3 for when The Last Guardian comes out. This post is in no way related to the subject of this thread.

    spoiler tags nigga. read em

    I was primed and ready to do so though because
    when my companion and I were lifted up and began the final beautiful ascent to the summit it was just so overwhelming. the music and the visuals and the shared aspect. For the later section beginning in the wintery area we were chirping to keep eachother with as much vitality as possible, fighting the elements. Just shockingly powerful stuff

    For me the part that really hit home was the ascent up the big tower near the end of the city section. Where you go up with your buddy and see each mural along the way. Then at the end when you complete it.... the cut scene with the mural which began with just 1 person starts showing the 2 of you on the journey together and the music swells and the controller vibrates (which at first i thougth was just my emotions alone making my hands feel weird) and it all just clicked instantly in my mind about what the game was doing or saying to me. And the section right after just continued the whole thing... it was amazing.

    Currently occupied with Darksiders, Costume Quest, Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light and, soon and most importantly, Mass Effect 3.

    Will buy this however one day.

    $15 USD, 10 pounds, and then probably 10 of whatever other european currency they might support, but the product is essentially priceless. It is a masterwork that, at least for me, provides something uniquely memorable and beautiful
