Cool! It's a deal then, gimme a week and I'll bump this thread.

Just for the record: you do acknowledge that Flower is pretentious, but it's in a good way pretentious?

Nope, I'm sorry to have caused confusion. Flower is not pretentious in the slightest. It's just about the dreams of flowers. There's a little narrative in there though.

It's not trying to be smart or witty, it just sort of... is... I guess. That's my take on the game anyways!

Right. I just had to check with you because I glanced at a review (from a daily newspaper, not a gaming mag) and it said Flower is pretentious to the extent that it's provocative.

You mean as in, "I want to lay that sexy lady down, and make sweet sweet love" kind of provacative?

This has been brought up on other forums, so I might as well bring the discussion here. Sony need to buy That Game Company. Journey is the last game in their three game contract and then TGC have the freedom to move on or renew the contract. The problems I have with TGC moving on is that they're a very small development team (10 people), but the main reason they can pull off projects like Flower and Journey is because they have Sony's funding and the backup from other teams like Sony Santa Monica, if they go multi-platform, there is not guarantee that another publisher will give them the funding, the freedom and the talent that they require to create the masterpieces that they (and we) want.

The best they could do if they break off would be making I-phone games or multi-platform PSN/Live games (unless Microsoft or Nintendo buy them), which is great, but they deserve so much more and if they stayed with a company like Sony and their games keep being the successes they are, I can see them moving onto bigger projects in the future. Maybe in 5 years we could be foaming at the mouth for the next huge That Game Company E3 reveal, instead of the next ICO team reveal.

They can't be that expensive can they? 10 guys with three PSN games can't be more expensive than 20 with one successful full retail new IP (Media Molecule).


It's not that simple. One thing you have to look at is whether SONY wants to buy this company or if they even want to be bought... Ask yourself why there was just a 3 game contract in the first place.

It's that beautiful?



That trailer melted my heart .

It's definitely now one of my most anticipated games for 2011.
