thatgamecompany’s Journey Kicks Off PSN “Spring Fever” Next Month

On March 13, Journey will finally be yours (and mine) for $14.99.

As with other thatgamecompany projects, Journey doesn't look like anything else out there.

I realize it’s part of my job to see games long before they’re finished, but there are some games from some developers that I’d be happy to keep my prying eyes away from until the game’s actually done.

Journey is one of those games, and designer Jenova Chen has announced the details we’ve all been waiting for about his studio’s latest creation on the PlayStation Blog this morning.

On March 13, Journey and a $14.99 price tag kicks off a “Spring Fever” event on PlayStation Network.

There will be other games released as part of "Spring Fever," but those details are coming later.

“The Journey in the game has also become a metaphor for the development process of the game itself,” said Chen. “Our team is very close to our own mountaintop; we are just a few short weeks away from letting the world experience what we’ve poured our hearts and souls into these last three years. I can’t describe how eager we are to let everyone finally play the game and hear about your experiences with it.”

Well, looks like I’ll be playing Flower again over the weekend.

I'm not super excited or anything, but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm especially interested in seeing how it works online.

Had an awesome time playing a bunch of Journey at CES with Kellee Santiago, there was no line and people didn't seem to care about it. Game played so great and it was a lot of fun asking her questions about it. I felt like I was doing an interview haha. Everyone else ignoring Journey was really missing out. I can't wait for March 13th!

I still have no idea what this game is but I am excited nonetheless. The visual style alone is fantastic.

I really hope this is a success. It looks pretty damn good, but money is the thing that talks.
