Quantcast


PS3 version of Braid confirmed for Europe and North America photo

The German-based ratings board USK can’t tell a lie, although, we’re guessing worldwide publishers wouldn’t mind if their secret games stayed secret until they announced them. Recently, the USK dished out a rating for a PlayStation 3 version of the once-Xbox-LIVE-exclusive-platformer, Braid. We were skeptical when the news hit and reached out to Jonathan Blow for comment/clarification/confirmation. He told us he would have to refer the PlayStation 3 question to Hothead Games, the publisher of Braid. IGN reached Hothead and received confirmation.

Braid is coming to the PlayStation 3.

Hothead plans to release the title in both North America and Europe, but don’t get too excited yet: no release date or pricing information is available.

If you’ve managed to never play Braid, PlayStation 3 owners, get ready to have your minds blown. This game is deep, man. Real deep. (And it’s not a shabby platformer, either.)

I'm not cutting my nails until this game comes out so I can chew on them in excitement.

I've done absolutely everything you can do in this game, and I'm still going to get this for the PS3.

Never played it, but my friend wouldn't shut up about it. Can't wait.

Don't get your hopes up. Braid is good, and was my favorite game in 2008 but don't have TOO high expectations. If you know that the game is pretty much a puzzle game, if you don't mind the fact that the story is purposely made over-ambiguious and comes off rather pretentious at first, then you'll probibly end up like me and think Braid is a great game.

If not, and if you don't care for the metaphor-heavy story or time-based game puzzles, then you probably won't like braid at all.

KorJax is wrong, Braid is one of the greatest games ever made.

with this and the "PS3 slim konsole" on amazon.de someone better phone the Reichstag cause it looks like Germany's got a leak.

Everyone should get this game. I have the PC version and it's amazing, very clever puzzles and an amazing story.

I'd love them to release an explanation to the story along with the release for the Playstation 3.
But at the same time I don't, as it would diminish the greatness of the game.
Grr.

PC version is the way to go, did I mention the music ripping part?

Same with Pedrovay. I got all the stars and completed every puzzle, but I'm still getting this on my PS3 just for the sake of having it on there.

KorJax is right

People who freak out over Braid probably don't have girlfriends

The music is amazing, though.
