Seashells can be collected and you get something special if you find them all. If you read my interview with Matt Nava, there's also other secrets to find and nods to his past games.
EDIT: Beaten.

True...
But that also means I have to wake up three hours earlier for work.
I already know I have the most stressful day imaginable tomorrow, gotta go through downtown Miami traffic, blegh. I have a feeling Abzu will be the perfect remedy when I get home
By the way, really enjoyed watching your long interview with Austin over the weekend. Definitely covered some topics I wasn't expecting and the impromptu jam sessions on the piano were great.
Thanks I laugh every time I send the notes over and warn them that it can get very loose in the interviews. We have Isla coming on to discuss Halo 2 AI this coming week and also the Mafia 3 composer and my hope is they are also that cool. It honestly all started with the guys from Fatshark games and Vermintide and their openness to doing such a laidback anti pr interview and it went from there.
Dude wait you live in Miami?
All that good stuff about throwing children into the sun. Ya I take it back. Miami can't even make sun sacrifices fun.

Oh, I just remembered the visualizer. Can someone on PS4 test and see if you can run Spotify (or whatever) in the background and use the visualizer? A decent visualizer is sorely missed on PS4.

So PSN says the game will be playable at midnight eastern. That's 9 p.m. Pacific. Not long now. I'm curious what people think, as I'll get this on sale in the future.

Usually that's how it works. If you want that PS+ discount price you better jump on it now.

You should dive in
So overall, its like Journey in music and simplicity, but the exploration is a little deeper?

Can't even buy the game on Steam, what?

Speaking of Steam, is anyone else getting it on Steam as well?

The Journey theme is incredible, I don't see why there isn't one for ABZU

Alright! I finished one of my other interviews just now and added it to the OT - it's with composer Spencer Nilsen. He is most notable for doing the Sega CD Ecco the Dolphin soundtracks!
It's a really good read, so I hope that you all enjoy it!

I am. I was thinking PS4, but I want to see this in 4k.

The dynamic theme wasn't for free, though. Guessing we'll probably also see a paid dynamic theme for Abzu on psn sometime in the future.

Just got my pre-order in about 20 minutes before unlock. It's ready to go now. Where do I find the theme?
I'll be getting Bound as well. The "VR Compatible" was the tipping point.

Thanks for the heads up, adding to playlist.
How do I DL the theme? I did not see it on the PS4 store... do I use the Web Store?
EDIT: Silly me found it. Decided to look under themes like on my Android phone, lol.

Eh. Really seems like a mash up of Flower and Journey with scuba gear. As a fan of both of those I'm surprised I'm not feeling it so far.
Did anyone expect any differently?

Preordered just in time, now I have to wait 6 more hours before I get home.

Not too far in, but it feels and looks amazing. Soundtrack is great as well.

Jesus the music!!
Jesus everything!! It definitely is the Journey "follow up" I was hoping for... Wow!
And I am blown away by how smooth it runs on PS4 (around 40fps with motion blur?). It feels super smooth even after playing a 60fps game.
