As I understand it, BAPenguin (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/member.php?u=2) is the only person I know who's played Flower, the new game from thatgamecompany (http://www.thatgamecompany.com/) who brought us flOw on the PSN way back at the PS3's launch.

As such, there's quite a lot of us who are all very jealous of him for that, but we don't have to be jealous much longer as word has come from the developer themselves that Flower will hit the Playstation Store on February 12th.

It really does share a lot of characteristics with flOw, but it has a few more "game" elements to it.

I really enjoyed it, a total chill experience.

Reading the articles, all it tells me is that this is a hard game to describe to someone. It seems to fall into the category of games that are you-just-have-to-play-it-for-yourself.

Let's hope for a demo, then.

Maybe. I love flOw so I don't mind jumping in blind on something like this.

Where can I get flower now?

[Psykoboy2]

Where can I get flower now?

Umm, nowhere. It's not out until the 12th of February. At that time, it will be available to download from the Playstation Store.

I was going to type the same thing.

So how did Penguin play it?

[Psykoboy2]

With his special Penguin Powers!

Also known as E3 2008. I would have gotten to it but my plane was leaving that day.

ahh. Fuckin lucky mofo.

[MagGnome]

I really want to play this game. One of these days I may have to buy a PS3 for the awesome PSN releases alone.

[agentgray]

bap's deflowering has no interest to me.

This game does, however.

:D

[Norse]

Nah, this game is for hippies only. I'm no hippie.

[Wolvie]

I don't think my daughters deserve a game after what they did to my PS3 (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?p=151766#post151766), but I know they would love this. So I'll end up buying it for them.

[DarkDay]

Am I crazy that this game almost makes me want to buy a ps3 for this?

Does it have a lot of replay? I have just seen the videos but dam it looks great.

[Lutheran]

It's well worth owning a PS3 , if you have to just buy a used one so you don't overspend as you know those things are built to last. There is a ton of content to play now and plus the Blu-ray player is just bonus.

[DarkDay]

I would dig a used one huge as your right about the build of them, but I have never heard of a bud selling one. Most hold on to them after spending so much.
If I find one for 2or even 2.5 bills im in early.

I know you barely have enough time to play with the systems now that you have. So I hate to recommend another...but there is a ton of stuff on PSN to play. And enough exclusives on disc to warrant a purchase. Since you are backlogged with your PC and 360, you have good reason to wait for a price drop. I would bet my own PS3 there is going to be a price drop this year.

I second this. The only reason now not to own a PS3 is if you don't have the money to shell out for a new one. Or you don't trust buying one used. To say there isn't anything on the system...well then you aren't looking. Although, i'm someone who even finds stuff on the Wii to play. So many i'm just easy to please...

I'm going to hold off on one for a while, probably until at least next year.

Huh, I feel like I've been waiting for Flower forever. Nice to finally have a date.

[Spigot]

Maybe. I love flOw so I don't mind jumping in blind on something like this.Hey, another person who actually loves flOw. I played it for free online, downloaded it on the PSP and it was one of the first things I grabbed on the PSN when I got my PS3. It's nice to be in good company.

This announcement makes me alternately giddy and angry.

Giddy because I finally have a date for when I'll be able to play this game.

Angry because it's not this Thursday!

Any news on what the price is going to be? I'm assuming it'll be about $10.

Oh, and does anyone have any clue as to when Nobi Nobi Boy is going to be released? Between flOwer and NNB, I've already completed my quotient for crazy wierd games...

You should know by now that we're pretty even when it comes to our gaming likes and dislikes.

By the way, you add me back on the PSN?

[Spigot]

By the way, you add me back on the PSN?Yeah, you're right. Speaking of which, have you picked up Valkyria Chronicles yet?

And yes, I did re-add you to the PSN friend list. Yet another that I just don't like on the PS3 for no particular reason. But we should get some Magic Ball games going!

Re-add? Did you take me off at some point? And no, I don't have VC, but I may be adding it to the GameFly queue.

[Dukefrukem]

wow this does look cool!

Watching that makes me want to go outside and take a breath of fresh air..... Crap, there is 2 feet of snow out there and it's 0 degrees. Nevermind. :(

[Spigot]

And go buy VC! It deserves your money!

[DarkDay]

Seriously, I think Im actually going to buy a ps3 for this game. I don't thing a video has ever gotten me so excited for a game before.

It reminds me of Nights but 100 percent organic, mellow, relaxing and open.

[Psykoboy2]

Price for it was just announced: $10

[Spigot]

Price for it was just announced: $10I figured it would be about that much. Great to hear this.

[Purple Santa]

I'll buy it and say it's my Valentine's day present to myself :)

[Gorvi]

Price for it was just announced: $10
I thought they announced that a while ago?

[Psykoboy2]

Nothing official until today, I think.
