Thatgamecompany has officially blown the lid off its upcoming first disc-based release called Journey Collector's Edition.
The collection is highlighted by thatgamecompany's last Sony-exclusive game Journey, but flOw and Flower will also be part of the mix. If three games weren't good enough, the collection will also hold a multitude of extras and we've listed them below.
+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
Sony's also throwing in a month of PlayStation Plus free just to sweeten the pot. The mini-games included in the disc are: Gravediggers, Duke War!! and Nostril Shot. These games were part of thatgamecompany's traditional 24 Game Jam where — you guessed it — they completed each mini-game in 24 hours. The studio states that the mini-games are their "thank you" to their fans and it will even include competitive multiplayer — a first for the developer.
Here's the collection's box-art.
The Journey Collector's Edition is priced at $29.99 and is set for release on August 28.
Not a bad deal, no? Half the cost of a "real" game and you get a ton of innovative bite-sized offerings. I mean, not every game needs to be about guns and killings, right?
Will any of you be getting this? I've yet to play Journey so this might be a no-brainer for me.
