[Afro]

Title looks a bit wonky on my phone though, wonder if a mod could fix it.

True, just checked my iPhone. It does look wonky. Not sure if that can be fixed. Mods?

 

[AmethystEnd]

The game only consists of line puzzles, there is nothing else.

Aaaand you need to stop this.

 

[louiedog]

I'm ready for this game to happen.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

First "puzzle" of the game is you drawing a line from left to right. And this was one of the first pieces of concept art for the game.

Ah, nice. I still like it just because it sticks out.

 

[Fractology]

Not only that, it's been in the game since the beginning
2010 > 2014 > 2015 (GIF)

It also is the puzzle that opens the first door into the game and the world. I like the significance of that.

 

[awesomegamername]

I pre-ordered on Steam, can't wait! Is there a way to do something like auto-download as soon as the game is unlocked or do you have to manually start the download with Steam? On that note, when do games usually unlock?

 

[Afro]

Did you see that Jonathan Blow retweeted you, Afro?

Life goal = accomplished.

OHHHHH-YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Eklesp]

Aaaand you need to stop this.

Aaaaand I was being sarcastic.

 

[kAmui-]

Thanks! I tried to find that gif but couldn't.

Edit: Yeah the title is showing as ●──^72; on mobile.

 

[Dinjooh]

Life goal = accomplished.

OHHHHH-YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You will know no greater joy than this moment.

Maaaaaybe playing the game, just maybe.

You'll need to manually install it. In the case of this game, ~20 hours left until it unlocks. Unreleased games have availability info above where you purchase them.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I keep thinking the OT title is morse code

 

[AmethystEnd]

Aaaaand I was being sarcastic.

My bad. Multiple No Man's Sky threads of "but what do you even do!?!?!?!?!" have made me unable to tell when people are being serious.

 

[Switzer]

Life goal = accomplished.

OHHHHH-YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hahah I just got here from his retweet.

This game looks like it just might just scratch my itch that Myst gave me. Been looking forward to this for some time.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Can't wait to give this a shot eventually. I'm thinking I may actually wait until I get my Rift in March and play through this in VR the first time.

 

[slider]

Don't have the time to game these days. And, as an indirect corollary, I don't have the patience for puzzle games. But, despite not getting very far at all with Braid, I'm sorely tempted by this. Hmm.

 

[gdt]

Already bought.....can't wait.

Little confused as to when it actually is unlocked though. On Steam.

 

[toythatkills]

Edit: Yeah the title is showing as ●──^72; on mobile.

Haha, how weird

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I think 40$ is too much but reviews got me spending it anyway. Good on Blow for believing in his product

 

[Eklesp]

My bad. Multiple No Man's Sky threads of "but what do you even do!?!?!?!?!" have made me unable to tell when people are being serious.

haha no worries, it was in bad taste anyways.

 

[EthanC]

When I get this I think I'll get it on PC. Seems to be the better choice thanks to VR.

 

[Vexidus]

Already bought.....can't wait.

In your Steam library it should tell you. I believe it's 1pm eastern time.

 

[Phinor]

Any news on PC FOV?

 

[Tetraeon]

Hot diggity, getting this ASAP. Looks beautiful and I'm sure it will be a thinker and a half as well.

 

[HiiiLife]

I've been wanting a puzzle game on consoles for awhile. Might check this out.

 

[louiedog]

I've been wanting a puzzle game on consoles for awhile. Might check this out.

If you haven't, take a look at The Talos Principle.

 

[ScientificPizza]

amazing title

i wasn't going to play this, but the quick look on giant bomb sold me in about two minutes

game looks beautiful

 

[Sicious]

Fuck, that description convinced me to buy this game very soon. I was planning to wait for a sale. Oh well, i want to be in Blow, i like his ideas.

 

[mrklaw]

Any news on PC FOV?

I'm actually wondering if that will be locked. Also wondering the same about 21:9 support. Mainly because of what was seen in the trailer previously might mean he wants to manage what we see and how we see it.

Just speculation though

 

[Afro]

Hahah I just got here from his retweet.

When Jonathan Blow accepts you, do you become immortal?

 

[HiiiLife]

If you haven't, take a look at The Talos Principle.

Will do. I've been needing a puzzle fix since Portal1/2 were so long ago.

 

[robotrock]

I'm incredibly excited for this. Been going back through Braid, and it's still as brilliant as ever.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

 

[Incitemaybe]

The first ps4 system seller to me, glad the word of mouth is good!

 

[serenewarfare]

Anyone set up a countdown timer? I can't wait for this, I'm replying Braid to get me in the puzzle solving mindset.

We can't have a timer since we really aren't sure when it's being released exactly. The Twitter account for both the game and Blow says it should be out at 12:01 AM PST on PSN and 9 AM PST on Steam, but Blow really doesn't seem to know anything concrete.

 

[louiedog]

Will do. I've been needing a puzzle fix since Portal1/2 were so long ago.

If you want a Portal-like puzzle game, then Talos is definitely something to look into. It's been out on PS4 for maybe 3 months now so you can probably find a decent sale price on it soon. There's a disc available as well.

I will say I've only played it on PC, so maybe check to make sure the PS4 version is okay.

 

[ElTorro]

At which time of the day is it expected to hit the (EU) PSN store?

 

[smashballTaz]

If you get the Steam app on your phone, it let's you remotely set games for installation. Which is pretty awesome.

 

[skynidas]

At which time of the day is it expected to hit the (EU) PSN store?

no one knows.

 

[etta]

Nice OT.
Game wasn't even on my mind until a few hours ago when I watched the Giant Bomb quick look.
Looks incredible.

 

[FelipeMGM]

At which time of the day is it expected to hit the (EU) PSN store?

Seems to be 12AM PST even for Europe

https://twitter.com/witnessgame/status/691732470694154240

The Witness will be released soon!
If all goes well, at 12:01am PST on the PlayStation Network (US + Europe),
9am PST on Steam + Humble.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Seems to be 12AM PST even for Europe

I'm still hoping for some well-timed incompetence from SCEE...

 

[TetraGenesis]

I've been waiting so long for this day. All the years of devouring every new update on The Witness blog, every article, every interview, every video, every screen of the island as it progressed over the past seven years.

And here we are. The game is a certified masterpiece. I couldn't be happier.

 

[Wunder]

Went from cautiously curious to totally on board. I'm terrible at puzzle games but this sounds great!

 

[ANDS]

If this thing actually releases at 12AM PST I'll eat my hat.

I laughed when he said the reason for no pre-order was because "Welp we didn't know. . ." I guess if you're that into the game development. . .

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Hard to contain my excitement with this one.

EDIT: Large picture of the Island.

Doesn't really look 650+ puzzles big, I'm guessing there's a ton of indoor/underground area as well.

Looking forward to spending some time with this tho, the game is gorgeous.

 

[Skux]

I'll give it a shot. I suppose this is the kind of game you're better off not knowing anything about before you jump in, so this will be all of the time I spend in the OT lol

 

[Dinjooh]

From what little I've seen of previews, yeeah.. There's tons of little hidden places that you'll maybe/maybe not find.

 

[Mexen]

I have to be honest about the length of the game being something I am OK with.
The idea of solving puzzles for 40+ hours excites me. Bring it on, Blow.

 

[NeoRausch]

40 bucks on PSN, now get it rolling Grace!
