Definitely the highlight of the show so far, amazingly beautiful and fantastic music.

Nah, he's not canceling the PC version. It's just PC + PS4.

Great then.

I just found out that the game has been already revealed for PC; maybe a title change by a mod please?

Reading the tweets, it seems just like a timed 'console' exclusive for PS4; so apparently not only it will can come to PCs and iOS anytime, it may even be released for other consoles after a time has passed from the PS4 version. Mock me later if it turns out not to be true:

He said "The PS4 will be the only console that plays The Witness at launch". Nothing about PC or mobile. He then repeated this exact statement on Twitter later on when someone complained about the lack of iOS support.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

That's unexpected. Thought he was staying away from consoles.

 

[Omikaru]

Also console exclusive on PS4, according to Blow.

 

[Doomrider]

Great style and huge world. Unexpected for me. Let's hope for some good gameplay substance.

 

[keit4]

Exclusive on consoles?

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Game of the show so far for me.

 

[walking fiend]

Exclusive on consoles?

Probably moneyhatted for PS4; it'll come to PC as well, I would wager

 

[MuddyDonut]

Looked great, will definitely buy whenever I get a PS4.

 

[Kimawolf]

Ha I loved how he said how he just isn't sure how he'll follow all those explosions. lol

 

[mr. puppy]

looks like its all of those annoying puzzles from the new deus ex except spread out for an entire game

 

[DocSeuss]

Probably moneyhatted for PS4; it'll come to PC as well, I would wager

Nah, he's not canceling the PC version. It's just PC + PS4.

 

[Guevara]

Looks fucking goddamn amazing, like a new version of Myst or Riven.

Jonathan Blow's lectures are fantastic. I was waiting anxiously to see this again, I can't wait to play it! Best surprise of the conference so far (although Move modeling looks cool).

 

[Blu10]

Watched that entire thing and was not intrigued at all. The moment I read your title that the guy who made braid made this made it an instant purchase. Hope this is just as good.

WATCH HIS "BEAUTY IN GAME DESIGN" LECTURE IMMEDIATELY!

 

[SquiddyCracker]

I thought it looked pretty amazing, and I like the sound of no filler.

 

[Zia]

That's the first real footage we've seen of The Witness. Looking lovely. I'll be playing on the Mac, but still, a nice little semi-exclusive for PS4.

 

[GashPrex]

Also console exclusive on PS4, according to Blow.

Hmm he didn't say that during the presentation - did he say it later or something?

 

[SaltyDoughnut]

WATCH HIS "BEAUTY IN GAME DESIGN" LECTURE IMMEDIATELY!

Link?

 

[A Human Becoming]

It sounded like a timed exclusive for PS4, not only PS4 + PC.

 

[Shion]

Best game in the conference.

 

[Gilby]

Link?

Very good lecture for anyone who's interested in designing games to watch (IMO anyway). I may not agree 100% on absolutely everything he says, but I agree with the vast majority.

 

[21st century cowboy]

Totally unexpected but amazing news. I thought I wouldn't be playing it for a couple of years till it got ported to PS4. Im surprised its 25 hours though

 

[Wes]

Looked and sounded like a cross between Myst and Wind Waker HD to me.

In all seriousness though the music was sublime.

 

[Dan]

I don't understand what the gameplay is, but I'm intrigued.

It sounded like a timed exclusive for PS4, not only PS4 + PC.

That's what I got out of it, too.

 

[Gilby]

Link?

Best game in the conference.

High 5 for good taste!

 

[Glass Rebel]

It sounded like a timed exclusive for PS4, not only PS4 + PC.

Timed console exclusive...

 

[Hot Coldman]

It looked absolutely beautiful. Thank you Jonathan.

 

[polyh3dron]

Also console exclusive on PS4, according to Blow.

During the launch window, he said

 

[B-Dex]

Wasn't a fan of Braid but this has me intrigued.

 

[Zia]

The game is a PC, Mac, iPad and PS4 exclusive.

 

[Purkake4]

I liked his "no arbitrary puzzles" comment followed by a door with a maze puzzle on it followed by a floor made out of maze-ish puzzles...

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I loved Braid and this looks beautiful.

 

[Particulam]

Holy shit, I'm totally in love with this game!

Wrong game man.

 

[-GJ-]

He said it'll be exclusive to PS4 in the launchwindow, which is 3 months after the release of the console. It will probably come to the nextbox and PC after that. He won't abandon the Xbox after the huge success of Braid, would he?

 

[Nintaiyo]

Very excited for this. I imagine it's tough to convey what's so cool about this game in a short trailer. Seems like the panels are a way for the player to convey understanding of an puzzle, kind of like a language. This approach seems like a cool way avoid contrived solutions to puzzles that hamper most games.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Art looked pretty good, "puzzles" looked absolutely terrible. If that trailer was supposed to sell me on the game it did a godawful job. However, I am willing to give it a shot if I get a PS4, and if the puzzles are better than shown in this trailer.

 

[INTERNET]

I liked his "no arbitrary puzzles" comment followed by a door with a maze puzzle on it followed by a floor made out of maze-ish puzzles...

Those maze puzzles are each sort of analogies to something in the game world, or your actions in the world, or your perception of the world. That is, they can't be meaningfully solved if taken out of the world, just as a record album is largely meaningless in lieu of a record player.

e: also welp guess I'm buying a PS4

 

[disappeared]

Awesome news.

 

[Grinchy]

I thought this looked awesome. I'm really hyped for this game.

 

[Drakken]

Based on what he said about interesting experiences and non-arbitrary puzzles being all around you on the island, I have to believe those maze-like things aren't the actual main puzzles, but unfortunately that's how it came off in the trailer. Really looking forward to this regardless.

 

[abstract alien]

The trailer itself was boring as hell. Day one though.

 

[Mifune]

My favorite thing from the conference for sure. Looks magical. Nice to see Sony at least paying lip service to indie gaming. And given Blow's harsh comments about Microsoft in the past, I'm not too surprised to see Sony nab this as a console exclusive.

 

[GWX]

PC not cancelled, awesome! This looked cool, although a bit boring in trailer form.

 

[madmaxx350]

they said something really cool on the post show. Something about self-publishing being allowed on ps4's psn, that is a pretty big deal to me

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiveoR7bP7w

WOW. By far the most impressive game from the event.

 

[vgJames]

Bioshock's line maze mini-game: The Game.

That aside I wonder how the final game will pan out, that 25 hour promise seemed absurd to me.
