Question for those who have finished the game at least once:

Spoiler

In the opening section, with all the level select shrines, the destroyed one on the right has a number of glowing runes. I assume these are all the "symbols" in the game, but two aren't lit up. I'm not entirely sure what it means; is it simply indicating I haven't found one of the collectibles yet?

Spoiler

The glowing symbols stand for each glowing sign you've gathered. You know, the ones that make our cape longer. The ones that aren't glowing you haven't found yet. They should be organized by location

 

[Evolved1]

This might be my favorite game experience ever... I don't even care that it's short. What's here pretty much spanks the pants off most every thing else I play these days. As far as my enjoyment is concerned.

 

[Misguided]

Game was absolutely incredible. Probably one of my favorite experiences with a game ever.

Thanks!

All that exploring in my solo run paid off, apparently.

 

[Dave_6]

After seeing the response in this thread and watching a couple vids of it, I will be buying this tonight!

 

[GeoramA]

Feel like replaying Flower now. Journey put me in the mood.

I MISSED ONE! ONE!!

 

[alr1ght]

Do the symbols carry over to the next game?

 

[Emitan]

Do the symbols carry over to the next game?

You don't keep your length, but they count for the Trophy.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Do the symbols carry over to the next game?

For the trophy? Yes. But you don't keep your scarf length.\

Edit: BILLY!!!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

EPIC EPIC EPIC

So many emotions and things happening throughout the course. Lots of undertones going on.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Huh, I didn't notice the first two times around but

Spoiler

many of the ruins in the desert are of those flOw-like creatures.

It's really obvious, too, I don't know how I missed it.

 

[Donos]

fuck, these impression are not good for my wallet -_-

 

[slider]

Whoa, had no idea that I could get this on PSN. Or I just haven't been paying attention. Will get it tonight.

 

[-Amon-]

Finished first journey.

Woah do not really know where to start.

I've played lots of games in all these years. None and I repeat none of them engaged me in an emotional way like this did tonight.

Journey goes out of the boundaries in so many ways. This is the direction which companies should follow in their struggle to innovate the media. This is a masterpiece, a true gem.

So happy to have thatgamecompany around. So happy Sony did the right choice to fund them from the start. Hope they'll keep the freedom to do as they want.

I'm missing one from the slide

I'm missing one from the slide

I'm missing the same exact one. Anyone have any idea?

Also, I'm missing the third one (out of four) in the

. Looked everywhere but can't find it!

 

[Emitan]

I'm also missing the first glyph in the final chapter.

 

[Franklinator]

Just finished my first playthrough. I loved it

I was the_franklinator if anyone here happened to play with me

 

[Shane86]

Not sure what I just played but I loved every minute of it, met 8 different people along the way but it felt like it was the same person through most of it (first I met jumped off a cliff randomly so I left him)

And that moment in the

You can go in the room that the tapestry dragon flies out of; in there is one of the murals you need to find, as well as the third glyph, which is hidden behind one of the sand showers on the left side of the room.

Hope that helps, since I still need to find the second one in

the desert (among other things)

, as well as the third one on

[Clear]

Amazing and beautiful.

Thank you TGC & Sony.

 

[Emitan]

Found the last glyph. Still can't find that one glowing symbol though.

 

[Magnus]

I...had no idea so many people had Plus.

It's still available only to Plus members, right?

That's the trickiest one.

On the second slide (after the "puzzle" part), start by taking the route to the left, follow the path a little bit and then converge towards the rocks in the middle using the metal thing as a trampoline. Stay above the sand and keep going. You'll see a rock spike with a flying creature waiting for you there which will help you cross the chasm and enter a small canyon. Follow the canyon...

Sorry, hard to describe, but you basically have to start left and then diagonally travel to the right beyond the tower in the middle without falling into the sand below.

 

[milesdm]

Damn beautiful game, and it left me in some kind of awe after it ended.

I think I want to play it again, but I feel like I shouldn't because it wouldn't feel the same ohh noo~

It's still available only to Plus members, right?

Yeah, US and EU now. Tuesday or Wednesday next week for non-plus members, respective of their region.

How many were in the

again?

Edit: Looks like the slide has been cracked!

 

[Clear]

I consider the "can games be art" debate finally settled once and for all with Journey.

I loved Flower, but this is such an advance in every way.

 

[Emitan]

Whoa... the 100% reward is really cool!

 

[Teknoman]

If you preorder the game, they let you download the dynamic theme right?

 

[StuBurns]

Whoa... the 100% reward is really cool!

I don't want to know what it is, unless it's my very specific guess, could you indulge me?

Spoiler

Do you turn into a white dude?

I don't know if I'll be getting all that stuff personally.

 

[XBOX HIVES]

Whoa... the 100% reward is really cool!

Yup just got it!

And with that, the only trophy I have left is to take a week off before the next play session. Man I love this game

There's a total of four. I also don't have the

Mirage trophy (finding the Flower) or the trophy for finding all of the creatures (which I imagine that the second symbol has something to do with).

 

[GeekyDad]

The OP has completely soiled me on this game.

 

[Afrikan]

just played this game last night using this for an OLED *100ft* experience...

and all I can say is just oh my god.....man, it was just beautiful...and the sound effects, just wow..everything together....just wow.

if this game was 3D, I might have fainted.

 

[Vaco6121]

Just finish my first Journey, and I all can say is Game of the Year. And to anyone who happened to meet someone named Vaco6121 in their Journey, that is me.

Spoiler

Yup, you turn into a white dude. Also, your fly powers recharge as you walk around so you'll always be able to fly around. Very cool bonus!

Spoiler

The flower is in the desert level as well. You'll find it near the middle of the level in one of the many valleys between the dunes. I wish I could be more specific (about this and the other symbols), but you really have to just explore that level for a while to find all this stuff. I was missing the last one on the desert for a while, but I found it in the structure near the exit--however, this isn't the one you're looking for sadly

 

[Emitan]

Spoiler

Yup, you turn into a white dude. Also, your fly powers recharge as you walk around so you'll always be able to fly around. Very cool bonus!

Spoiler

You also get more cloth at the beginning so I think your maximum amount of cloth is larger than a red character's

Now my main objective in my life is to get 100% and being able to help a player in his first playthrough

How do I get Ancestors? Is it in

the tower?

 

[XBOX HIVES]

How do I get Ancestors? Is it in

Spoiler

the tower?

Spoiler

Yup, just wait until you've activated all of the "water" and dive down. It's in one of the middle portions of the giant column. You'll see it swimming around and you have to chirp at it to get the trophy.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I could buy it now, but I'm pretty tired and I want to appreciate this while I'm fully awake

Tomorrow though.

 

[rCIZZLE]

This game better win every award it's up for.

 

[Emitan]

Only thing left to do is stop playing for a week. Which will be the hardest challenge of all.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Wow!

It doesn't have much in the way of traditional gameplay but that was the best thing I've played in ages!

...and it's so beautiful - you'll want to put it up in a frame on the wall!

 

[Kubricks Ghost]

Quite simply one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life.

 

[ironcreed]

You guys are not making the wait until next week any easier. Can't recall the last time I saw reactions this strong to a game.

 

[Melchiah]

One of the most wonderful audiovisual experiences I've ever had. Well worth the price.

The PS3 wireless "7.1" headset I just bought definitely added to the experience. It was a huge difference, when I had to play the end of the game without the headphones, as I had to charge them.

It's an incredible game and finally fulfills the promise that Flow and Flower showed.

What headset do you use?
