Journey - PS3 vs. PS4 gameplay and graphics comparison

An upgraded version of thatgamecompany's stunning sand-clogged adventure, Journey, has just been released on Playstation 4, complete with a host of improvements including 1080p resolution and 60 fps. It supports cross buy, so players who already own the game on PS3 can download the newest version for free.

It's one of the most profound gaming experience I have ever had.
I recommend you play through the entire game in one sitting.

It was very touching & emotional.

[xHeavYx]

To me is a very relaxing game.

that moment when you play and realize that certain thing (everyone that played it knows what i mean) almost blew my mind.

F... GENIUS

It's a great game. I got split from the person I journeyed the whole game with at almost the end. I bleeped and beeped like crazy for over ten minutes looking/waiting for that person to show up and join me in the ending, but that person never came. In defeat, I carried on to the end, only to find that person waiting for me.

That feeling blew my mind.

(Does anyone know how to get this if you've purchased the PS3 version at launch? I can't find a download link, and it says not available for purchase.)

I am so glad I got the Journey Collection on the PS3 a while back. Played through all three games on one long weekend (three days), one game each day. Journey was most definitely the highlight of that weekend. It was such a riveting and powerful journey (sorry about that lol), and I am glad to have been apart of it. I even got some of my friends too play Journey all the way through. While my friends (3 in total) were gaming on my PC in the other room, I took out one guy each time in the living room to experience a playthrough of Journey.

One of the best gaming experiences I had on PS3 was with this game. I played through the adventure beginning to end multiple times. One of my most satisfying gaming moments was playing this beginning to end with a random companion and then earning the trophy for that achievement. What a game!!!

hey thanks for the disagrees for merely stating personal experience.
whats next? i get disagrees for saying that i like rice better than potatoes?

I'm part Irish and I have a problem with your blatant disregard for my heritage. Be more considerate.

A lot of people play this while high or drunk, and claim it to be a profound emotional experience. These people are emotionally stunted. It's boring, and i wouldn't even qualify it as a game. It's a walking simulator.

What a load of rubbish. I don't smoke or drink.

[Sevir]

Most agree journey is awesome! And the minority need more to stimulate them, ie guns, blood, swearing bombastic action...

For those that feel that way, what this game truely is, is lost on you. But to say everyone who've played and enjoyed it and came away feeling it was profound and emotional are high? You've seriously gotta be on so.e sort of narcotic to say such a thing. Just say it's boring and you didn't get it and it's not for you. No need to bash. It a simple game but what it delivers is complex and thematically not everyone will understand and that's ok.

I'm definitely getting this version
on PS4 to play again. Journey is an amazing game.

I'm sorry you missed out on a pretty nice experience.

If you do try it again, try playing through the very end. Something happens, if you pay attention, that really brings home the whole experience and makes you rethink the whole thing.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Just finished the game again, 60FPS seriously gave the scenery a new vibe altogether, free flowing cloak and scarf alike just felt awesome, only took two hours but hey, it was cross buy!

[starchild]

I like short games sometimes. If every game was a 200-hour monster like The Witcher 3 I wouldn't get to play through very many games each year. Each game is unique and I want to have the time to really experience them. Shorter games allow me the opportunity to experience more of these worlds.

[PaleMoonDeath]

After a killing spree on BloodBorne, I kind of needed this, hell I just painted parts of my room red hahaha!

Buy this game newcomers, it's like a cigarette after a good night with the love of your life.

[sovkhan]

One of my best ever experience on the ps3, will certainly try the ps4 version.

[kenwonobi]

Some games are here to just be short sweet good experiences. This is one of them.

[TWB]

So if I have a collectors edition for PS3, I asume I cant get Journey in any way on the PS4 unless I rebuy it?

I dont know so Im asking if anyone knows.

[Loktai]

Cross buy is for digital versions, I assume collectors was some limited physical release?

[TWB]

Yes, it also has some of their previous games (flOw and the flower game + 4 or 6 2d games and themes + concept art. Its neat).

It could have worked out but I didnt expect it. Just wanted to make sure. Its not like Im missing out on new content or anything.

[Loktai]

Yeah physical games are never cross buy, cross buy would require you have the digital game license but it's also not expensive might be worth picking up depending on your backlog I guess.

[rezzah]

I've beaten this game over 10 times because it is a game I can just run through relaxed. It is enjoyable to play with others online too.
