Sony Santa Monica’s Nathan Gary has clarified a comment this weekend which seemed to suggest that Journey and The Unfinished Swan were headed to PlayStation 4. No such luck, I’m afraid.
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.
Today, veteran game developers with experience on games like Journey, Skyrim, Spider-Man, Edith Finch, Ratchet & Clank and more, have come together to announce a brand new game studio, Gardens.
Concept artist has a very distinct style and if they can translate that into the game well this studio will be making some visually stunning games.
Its ok maybe we get lucky when Gaikai releases and these titles will be playable then.
That tweet doesn't say Journey and Unfinished Swan aren't coming to PS4. What kind of crazy logic is that!? All it says is he was playing them on the PS3.
They might come to PS4, they might not. I have no idea one way or the other. But how the author came to the conclusion that they weren't based on the tweet is a total mystery to me.
Well that's a shame.
They're not needed. We need more new games, not ports and certainly not PSN ports, New gen should = new blood (IPs) and sequels only on next gen.
Journey is coming. They wouldn't port Flow and Flower and leave Journey behind, that much is obvious. Unfinished Swan is more unpredictable, but I suspect it's coming too. Really I'm still not even sure this wasn't a stealth confirmation. Obviously they wouldn't want people to know about the ports too far out from release to keep sales of the current versions up. It's probably equally likely he's backtracking on a slip up he made that could get him in trouble. It doesn't really matter though, safe bet those games are coming regardless.
