Journey, one the best-received and artistically-unique games of the year, is being re-released this August, and its bringing some friends!
Journey Collector’s Edition will be the first physical release by thatgamecompany, and will feature all three of their bizarre and thought-provoking PSN titles - flOw, Flower, and, of course, Journey. As well as copies of the games, buyers will receive soundtracks, special features, and three additional titles from the company’s 24hr Game Jam: Gravediggers, Duke War!!, and Nostril Shot were all created by members of the team in a mere 24 hours, and now we can try them out!
Here’s the full list of extras we can expect in the package:
+30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Journey
+Creator Commentary play-throughs of all three games
+Three exclusive mini-games from thatgamecompany
+Concept art and screenshot galleries for all three games
+Original soundtracks for all three games
+PS3 dynamic themes and wallpapers
+PSN avatars including 8 exclusive new Journey avatars never released before
+Official game trailers and developer diary videos
+Reversible cover art
While they all sound excellent, I’d probably buy the package just to get the commentary tracks - hearing the creators talk about their inspiration for these highly-original games should be worth $29.99, alone. Of course, those of us outside the US will have to wait a bit longer, as August 28th is only the Stateside release date. Let’s hope this package makes it across the pond before long.
