Put this one in your diaries. March 14th 2012 – the day Sony releases thatgamecompany’s next emotive masterpiece (we’re hoping!) onto the PSN in Europe.
That’s less than a month away and just close enough to make us do a little happy dance. Probably too soon for us to have those special terracotta-coloured robes tailored though.
Jenova Chan, creative director and co-founder of thatgamecompany, has dropped some words on the US PS Blog:
With each game we create, we want to bring something truly unique and authentic to the user. We want our players to experience something they have never felt before.
Our first game for PSN was flOw in 2007, a meditative zen video game haiku. We followed that in 2009 with Flower, our video game version of a poem about the tension between urban bustle and natural serenity.
Journey, our third game, is an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with others.
Sounds like it’s going to be every bit as captivating as Flower and flOw. The US price has been set at $15, and we’re awaiting confirmation of what we are being charged over on this side of the pond.

Really looking forward to Journey. I just hope SCEE don’t mess the EU release up and delay it for some months.

I’m almost certain to buy this day one, will be interesting to see how it works out in euros.

If the Japanese & US priceing is accurately reflected here it should be £9.99, which seems fair enough to me!

I don’t know why its suggested to be £20 is too risky they’d go lower because higher is simply suicide.

Absolutely great news. cant wait for this. had money in my PSN wallet for this since it was announced

Yay and crap. This will mean that a lot of people will be having trouble whether they want to get ME3 or Journey. And i fear Journey will get overshadowed by ME3. :S
$15! that’s a little bit more then i’m willing to pay for a PSN game. I hope it won’t be £20 for us. But knowing the world’s best company*, it will be.

UK and EU isn’t UK part of EU?
cc_star
Politically, yes. Ideologically, no.
Dates differ at retail too, although on PSN store gets it at same time as some other EU but not all
Bodachi
Yes but when it comes to the store UK is part of the EU store so saying UK and EU release date is irrelevant.

Still got a few lengthy games in my backlog so I won’t be getting it on day 1. Will definitely get it at some point, though.

Please let there be a Plus discount.
