Your Journey journey begins Spring 2012 photo

I want Journey inside me...or inside my PS3. The beautiful game from thatgamecompany sucked me in the first time I played it. I remember it fondly. My day had been particularly stressful, and I had been working on very little sleep. Somehow 15 minutes of this game fixed my day; it brought peace to my soul. Oh, and finally getting to play it in my own home via the beta was like a religious experience. 

There was a rough date listed Journey, Fall 2011, but that has blown into the wind, like the sands. Now we know for sure when we'll be playing the final game: Spring 2012. TGC's Jenova Chen says that the online beta test went very well, and that they're now working on Journey with the feedback gained from it. They didn't want to give a solid date until they knew for sure. Now they do. And now we do.

Nice. I can't wait.

Damn, I was hoping on playing this sooner. Really looking forward to it, the visuals alone have sold me.

How is "Spring 2012" a "solid" release date? Sounds just about as vague as "Fall 2011" to me!

I was looking forward to some Journeying soon, but if they need more time to make it even more awesome I say okay then.

I liked a lot, but it felt like it was a world with many secrets, and yet I didn't find any. Too linear. It looked like I was really free, and yet I had to that one path.

Many people enjoy this type of “game” and there is no reason to flippantly dismiss it as worthless. I hope over time your taste does evolve and you take a risk on a game in the vein of Journey.

@jimmyx Another one of those "games" that clearly belong on PS3.
Absolutely!!! Another one of those "Unique" games that has a lot of thought put into it that will provide a ton of fun and may be provoke a thought or two.

Not all of us enjoy Homoerotic Bro Smurfs.

This was an awesome beta so it surprises me they are not releasing for so long frankly, but it must be for a good reason. Either way, can't wait to get this on my machine!! It's gorgeous and mysterious and very entertaining. And any online that reminds me of Demon's Souls is right up there at the top of my list. :)

I got hands-on access to the game at the Eurogamer Expo, and I can safely say that it is very satisfying to work out what you have to do in the game.

I definitely want to download this next year.

I was hoping to play Journey this year but I guess I can wait. I really want this one to be good.

Shit damn really? Oh well. I guess I got Dark Souls to play forever until then.

That's a shame. I was looking forward to playing it this December when I get home. It seems like a game that should be played at winter time.

I guess I can wait till summer of next year, though...

no no noooouuu :´(
I had so looked forward to play this.
But if that's what it takes to make the game very bit as good as it can be. So be it.
