    By design, Journey requires a different kind of multiplayer beta. A select number of players will have the chance to check out thatgamecompany's latest months ahead of its formal release, the details of which were made available today. There are a couple things to pay attention to.

    One, if you were you one of the "very earliest adopters" (read: buyers) of Flowerand a member of PlayStation Plus, a code may be headed towards your account in the form of a private message.

    Two, thatgamecompany is giving away some codes--but you only have until 7:00 p.m. PST tonight to send an email to journeybeta@thatgamecompany.com, which gets you into the Journey lottery.

    Stay tuned to thatgamecompany's Facebook page for additional details, as the beta kicks off.

    Neat!

    Edit: Wow, first time even attempting that quest.

    I am loving the look of this game, and, as a fan of both flOw and Flower, I'm interested to see what this game is all about.

    Am I supposed to send thatgamecompany an essay on why I want to play Journey because I want to see multiplayer taken to a whole other level?

    Sweet, I fit this criteria! I really hope I get a PM to join the beta! I wonder how many people this beta includes? Going by this, it sounds like a small amount.

    @Evilsbane: Why is that weird? I think I just happened to refresh the page as Patrick posted the article. I suppose that's the one perk to sitting here at home all day, watching a baby. :P

    Anyway, email sent, here's hoping I get in. Don't recall if I was an "early adopter" of Flower, as I can't remember when I bought it, and I only have PS+ because of the welcome back stuff, so yeah.

    Hopefully I get in, I've been a PSN+ member since day 1 and I'm fairly positive I bought Flower Day 1 and got 100% of the trophies, such an amazing game.

    So Journey is this year's Braid and Limbo, I guess. We can all self-wank over it to show how clever and diverse we are.

    We still know nothing about the game and it looks only minimally interesting. It might be the greatest fucking thing ever, but none of us would know it, yet. We just know that it's the next hip thing to talk about.

    Self-wank nominated for tautology of the year.

    Heaven forbid it's not another grey and brown shooter. Also, we know a fair bit; there's gameplay footage and everything.

    Yeah, I'm sure that's a lot of people here.
     
    I played Myst when I was a little kid. And I loved it. And this really seems to be stroking that part of my brain. Puzzles. Quiet strangeness. I'm in.
     
    But more then that, I really do agree with their design philosophy. Game have forgotten how to make people feel small. Immersed. Part of something bigger then themselves. Now you are the biggest thing in the game. And that just has a real world desperation around it that I can't stomach.
     
    So, again, I'm sure your right. After it stops being the hip flavor of the week, most of these people will flock somewhere else. But I remember when the industry used to produce strange little gems like this all the time. It's been too long. I miss things like this.
     
    Now all they need to do is add machine guns and make it like the original Unreal (yes, before Tournament) and I'll be really happy. Ha, I'm kidding. Mostly.

    I bought Flower about a month after it came out so I bet I'm not in the beta.
    ...On another note: I love watching the instant flood of "beta code please? :)" comments on thatgamecompany's facebook page.

    It's not the next hip thing to talk about, people are talking about it because they are genuinely interested in it.
