Co-founder & creative director of thatgamecompany, Jenova Chen, has tweeted that PS3 exclusive Journey is complete and ‘once Sony figure out the right time, they will announce it. I assume pretty soon.’
He also answered a couple of questions via Twitter; The camera has ‘stayed to be the way beta went’ and there is no alternative control method.
Matchmaking for the online component is still random as ‘that’s how we want the game to be played.’

Oh now that’s a definite.

As much as I enjoyed Flower after being pushed by friends to play it, I don’t think I’ll be getting this. Don’t like the idea of completely random matchmaking, I like control over the game I’ve paid for in the sense of the people I play it with, and the barren desert scenery doesn’t do anything for me. I loved the lush meadows of Flower, main part of why I loved the game, the colour and vibe from it was amazing.

The price needs to be right. More than £7.99 and I’ll pass I think.

Yeah, if it’s at a decent price I will give it a go. Not normally the game type I like but enjoyed the beta.

What exactly is there to figure out? Surely if it’s ready, and people want it, how about, oh, I don’t know, releasing it now? Obviously I’ve never released a game before, so maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t think of a good reason to withhold a game that the public have been awaiting for a couple of years now.

They need to figure out how badly they can balls up the release like they’re continuing to do with Trine 2 in the EU.

Good stuff, just wish they’d get it out. It’s the most interesting console game that’s known about & still to be released.
The online aspect was amazing for me, being completely isolated and then seeing someone else calling out to you in the distance, or come ‘surfing’ past you.
Can’t help thinking that now it’s under the control of Sony, they’ll no doubt release it the same week as something massive.
stueeeee
Yeah i agree. This must be one of the most anticpated PSN titles yet, so to just drop it in ramdomly in the next coulle of weeks would be a bit understated. Although i would assume they give it at least a month or so to build some anticipation to a certain day.

One of my most anticipated games for this year. Can’t wait for this!

Same – nice to having something not FPS, and very different. Bring it on, I’m ready.

Couldn’t get into it when I played it at Eurogamer and am still struggling to see whats so special about it. Maybe a demo that I can sit down and play a few times will change my mind but I somehow doubt it. Couldn’t get into other arty-farty games like Flower either mind you.

Great, i’m looking forward to it since the beta.

Now I know what the money in my SEN wallet will go to.

I don’t think idiots who want to ruin experiences will be buying it & there isn’t really a way they can ruin it anyway, other than perhaps racing ahead triggering all the events before you get there, although in the beta if we separated to far or for too long, they went out of your world anyway
