I can't get over how phenomenal this game's OST is. Both the epic tracks and the slower paced ones are spellbinding.

My favorite track in the whole game may be when you first get

down to the caves. I love standing in that patch of light and just listening. Very slow, moody, heart twinging music.

Absolutely agree.

I thought the soundtrack added a lot when you become empowered at the end of the game. The chord that plays when you spring upwards surrounded by light... So good.

Have Thatgamecompany spoke about releasing the OST for download at all?

 

[Danielsan]

I think that once your game has been publicly praised by Ueda you really can't go up much further as a developer.

Absolutely agree.

Austin Wintory, the composer of the Journey soundtrack, has stated that he's creating an official Journey soundtrack in which the music has been restructured so that it can be enjoyed as a proper album. So yes an OST is coming, but it won't simply be the music ripped from the game and dumped in an album format.

Meanwhile enjoy these: http://soundcloud.com/awintory/sets/journey

 

[Lissar]

yeah that's what I'm afraid.

Its better off if everyone has the same color, stay in the same class. I, for one, won't change color

Personally I think it's quite fun when there is a mix. Plus I enjoy flying, and it makes it so much easier.

Backgrounds won't load for me either, so it's not just you.

And nothing for me either.

 

[Pachimari]

This have been my most awaited game, and I have yet to buy it. What the f*ck is wrong with me. I'm thinking of buying Siren and Jak & Daxter HD for my HMZ-T1 as well.

sure you can!

by getting praised by a developer who actually finishes games

 

[Ra1den]

Wow, that's some praise! And from Ueda no less. I feel the same way, I wish games respected the player's time more.

Have Thatgamecompany spoke about releasing the OST for download at all?

The composer said he will be releasing a free OST with some tracks arranged a certain way to make them good for standalone listening.

I'm not sure I'd want to hear them out of the game, I wouldn't want to get too familiar with them.

edit: beaten

Oh Ami

*Slaps* Snap out of it man and go buy this asap.

Dat Ueda praise. :bow: Thatgamecompany.

Never change.

 

[Ra1den]

... for my HMZ-T1 as well.

Holy.....has anybody played Journey on one of those yet? That would be some real immersion!

 

[Danielsan]

Shocking reply coming from you Ami.
Though it did warm my heart to see that you enjoyed Journey.

Ooh by the way:

 

[Pachimari]

I'm thinking of playing Journey on the HMZ-T1 in around 3 hours.

 

[Danielsan]

And for those who love the soundtrack. I suggest you guys sign up for Austin's fanlist.
I immediately got a mail with a wonderful 6:05 minute long Journey track that apparently won't be part of the official soundtrack.

I'm jealous! Can't wait to hear your impressions.

Hmm, that's funny, I signed up a couple days ago and haven't received a track. Well I think I received like a welcome email, was it buried in there somewhere? I already deleted it.

 

[Mengy]

It's a Sony IP so no. It will not make it to the PC.
I suspect that watching videos of play throughs will not even remotely come close to the experience of actually playing the game.

Eh, it's either I buy a PS3 just to play this game, or I watch youtube vids of it. Not ideal, but certainly cost effective (free). It's not like I don't have a dozen other games I neglect too much anyway. Journey does look to be quite the experience though, first game I've ever wanted a PS3 for.

Yes it's in there. Not exactly buried either. It's literally the first thing in the mail.

oooh, one of my favorites.

heh I must have mass deleted it along with a bunch of my spam. Had no idea a track would be in there.

 

[Lissar]

Yep, I got it last night! Lovely song too. He's suppose to be sending people a few more free tracks later, isn't he? Can't wait for that.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Wow. Just finished Journey. I don't think any experience is gonna come close for quite some time... Utterly amazing game.

 

[Danielsan]

Thanks again m0dus!

 

[Unicorn]

Any word on DLC?

Spoiler

Holy fuck I just finished this. Dear lord. Haven't teared up like this since SotC.

 

[Kaldea]

I just tried the theme a couple times. The background still doesn't come up.

 

[GeoramA]

I just downloaded it and no the background isn't showing up. Awesome icons, though.

 

[Zeliard]

If it's working for Danielsan maybe you have to put it on a USB stick instead of dl'ing it through the PS3 browser, though that seems unusual.

 

[NaM]

Can those folks who were having problems redownloas the theme? I fixed the error with the p3t file that was causing the bg not to load

Did not work for me

I did that and it didn't work.

 

[blizzardjesus]

Love the game, wish there was an endless desert mode, where random ruins and temples show up. Something like a procedurally generated open playground.

 

[Danielsan]

It doesn't work for me either. I just used the high res artwork and set it as a wallpaper. That way I also don't have any text/logo's cluttering up the background (no offense m0dus).

 

[MrDenny]

Just finished my first Journey
Me and my partner got separated in the last level.
I went searching for him thinking he was behind me, but couldn't find him so I continued onwards.
Then I found him waiting for me up ahead, so we could finish the game together.
I'm surprised he waited that long because I took my time just looking around.
Awesome experience.

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

Could you please direct me to where you found said artwork?

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Just played this for the first time today for half an hour, and I had chills the entire time. When it came time to leave my companion, I honestly felt sad and had no way of telling them I needed to leave and that I enjoyed their company. I sang them a song, sat down, and left.

thatgamecompany just beat Team ICO at their own game.

 

[Kaldea]

Awesome theme, m0dus. Working for me now.

 

[n3ss]

Such an amazing game, had my first play through last night --I'll definitely be playing again tonight.

For those that loved the music, we recently interviewed the composer of the game: http://www.gamesradar.com/soundradar-episode-9-journey-austin-wintory/

 

[shawnlreed]

Fixed!

Sorry for the confusion, the JPEG's were saved incorrectly! Everything should work now, tested it again.

Now it works fine.
Great theme, m0dus!

 

[Zeliard]

Thanks m0dus, looks beautiful.

 

[whalleywhat]

Thank you, m0dus, it's gorgeous.

 

[NaM]

You should also be able to download it directly through the browser.

It's working now, thanks m0dus!

 

[Chaos]

Nice theme, thanks.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Played through it tonight... I think it was just a bit over two hours for me. It was a great two hours, though, and anyone who complains about the length should be shot.

What a lovely little game. It didn't utterly wow me as a moving piece of art like it has seemed to have with some people, but it was really fun from start to finish and the changes in tone were great. It's so much fun just gliding or sliding about.

I didn't have too much interaction with the people who joined my game - I more or less just kept doing my own thing and if they kept up then good for them - but it was definitely cool having people drop in and out and do certain sections with me.

Part of me wants to go back and explore a bit, but I don't think I will. It was a nice experience and I'll just leave it at that.

With Journey, That Game Company has proven themselves to be among the best of the best developers. I think these games will be remembered and cherished for a long time after this gen is over.

 

[Ricky_R]

I'm not in love with the gameplay, but like many have said, the experience is awesome. The concept is pretty cool and the fact that I usually feel like doing things solo and I just can't do it when a companion is calling, makes this game a very unique experience.

There are some parts that can get a bit tiresome considering that the nature of the game is to have multiple playthroughs with different companions, but the fact that I have the desire to keep replaying anyway is proof enough that this game is doing something quite right.

Btw, my PSN name is whoooop6 in case I've been someone's companion here.

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

Certainly!

Thanks very much! Am I missing some aspect of downloading and/or applying the pics? They all seem to appear blurry once I set them as my background....

Are you seriously trying to set the thumbnails as the wallpaper? Please tell me you're not.

Its gorgeous. The icons are great. Thanks m0dus!

I tried to buy this the other day, but it said I needed to be a PSN+ member or something. When can people without the + thing buy this?

How long ago was this? Non PS+ members were able to buy it since Tuesday.

Click on the pictures to get the high res versions and save those to your usb stick. You can apply them as your ps3 wallpaper from there.

Is it just me or the icons of the m0dus theme don't work on the XMB in-game?
