Journey Concept
Added 2018-10-13 21:44:48 +0000 UTCAs you guys know, I am on a quest to play all the PS3/PS4 games I missed out on while getting my degree.
Last week, I went down to San Diego for a friend’s wedding. I had some time to kill after getting ready and stumbled upon a game my sister had left with her old PS3 called Journey.
When I started playing it, I wondered what the goal of this game was (collecting coins, puzzle solving, Kill count). It seemed to just be about heading towards a mountain. What am I doing??? I asked myself.
Slowly, I realized that the point of this game was its title. This game was the journey. A simple goal set to the background of heartbreakingly beautiful music and fantastic gameplay. As I continued my journey, I became more and more spellbound by the simple story and my emotional investment in it.
To put it mildly, I love this game.
If you haven’t played it (please do), I won’t ruin the ending for you. However, it was an amazing emotional experience for me.
I would love to PSN this with someone I know, however, there is quite a lot of beauty in connecting with a stranger.
I am currently working on this concept art version of a Traveler. I think it’s a gorgeous interpretation and I’d love to work in some LEDs for the scarf and eyes as well.

I wish I had seen that you played this back when you posted it! This was a gorgeous game. I think I played it three times in a week before letting it go. I am glad that you got a chance to play it.

Hard to describe to anyone who hasn't already been through it, but there are reasons it was basically Game of the Year for anyone who had any sort of emotional connections to games, gaming, or a propensity to be touched by it.
