[quote]According to Chen, TGC has broken even on the game, but won't know if it'll be profitable for a few more months, due to Sony's delayed payment schedule for developers. "Honestly, I don't know how much Journey has sold at this point. But I know we broke even on it," he said.[/quote]Damn, that must be depressing knowing that you made just enough money to justify the development of the game, but won't see that money for a couple more months.
I really wish it wasn't PS3 exclusive. They're hasn't been a game I really [I]really[/I] wanted to play for a long time.
Journey was an amazing game, sure it was short but still one of the best games in recent memory
I really hope Thatgamecompany expands their platforms now that their three game contract with Sony is over with. Shit, I hope they'll still be around after this. They make amazing games that just ooze visual quality.
[QUOTE=Trainbike;39521705]I really wish it wasn't PS3 exclusive. They're hasn't been a game I really [I]really[/I] wanted to play for a long time.[/QUOTE] Agreed. I have it on PS3 but it's still a shame that it's not on PC, I could only imagine all the amazing wallpapers that would come out of it.
they should of had it made for the PC too, I would of happily bought this game.
[QUOTE=Vasili;39525047]they should of had it made for the PC too, I would of happily bought this game.[/QUOTE] Porting from the PS3 to the PC is a bit of a mess, and they obviously didn't have the funds at the time to make it worthwhile.
[QUOTE=Higginz511;39525062]Porting from the PS3 to the PC is a bit of a mess, and they obviously didn't have the funds at the time to make it worthwhile.[/QUOTE] It's not on anything but PS3 because Thatgamecompany has/had a three game contract with Sony.
I bought a PS3 just to play this game.
[QUOTE=zugu;39530295]I bought a PS3 just to play this game.[/QUOTE] And this is why such games will never set a foot on other platforms.
[QUOTE=zugu;39530295]I bought a PS3 just to play this game.[/QUOTE] And that's why these exclusives exist in the first place. I'd play it at a friend's place who already owns a PS3 before I bought a just for PS3 for an exclusive, as by doing that I'm just encouraging more exclusives.
