PS4 and PC version will released simultaneously. We don’t know the release date but we speculate: late 2014 or early 2015.
iOS version release will soon follow.
No, you can not pre-order the game. Yes, it will be digital released only.
On PS3 and PS4. You can turn off Trophy notification/pop-ups, same with messages. But we are required to have achievements in Steam and Trophies on Playstation.
No, there is no part 2 to that video.

Also, did you figure out a way to avoid the trophy/achievement pop-ups?

I didn’t even realize that I posted that not even a day before his death! That’s a bit creepy. Especially since I really admired him but still hadn’t thought about or mentioned him anywhere for quite a while before posting this link…

Yes, it’s not easy. And considering how most people treat me (and each other), I don’t even try to not be elitist any more. How could anyone with a heart not be? Seeing all those people treat one another so badly, even though it could easily not be like that (as evidenced by the few who do try to do good by others and the relationships they have).

But I find the movie to actually not be such a good indicator because if you check out the imdb ratings – it actually seems to have done very well. Maybe you just came across a bunch of bad examples?
(My experience is that usually nobody even knows what the hell I’m talking about when I mention the movie.)

Speaking as a fan, I would much rather you move on to the next project then spend time creating any DLC, unless you feel truly inspired. I am excited for your next project in 2020 :)

It is unlikely that we will do more puzzles any time soon.

*Flicks at his arm*

Give it to me right here, right in the big vein.

Philip Seymour Hoffman just dies :c

We still have a lot of things to do before the game is done.

House builder, you are seen! (?)

People say I play discovery games strangely: I try not to progress in order to forestall the time when I’ve discovered everything.
I always considered the sense of discovery as synonymous with that of mystery. Both are very important to those who play these games, but it is interesting to realize that one is detrimental to the other. You have to be curious in order to be enthralled in the face of mystery, but it is that curiosity that drives discovery, and it is discovery that puts and end to a sense of wonder.

So, like you, I relish the time that I don’t understand the rules of the game, and I haven’t explored its corners. At the same time, I long for catharsis.

Nice. Synecdoche New York is a good movie. A lot of people didn’t like it. I say this without trying to sound like a disgruntled elitist, but it’s always pleasant to find more reasonably intelligent life out there. Cheers.

Well, I’ve been hyped for Half Life 3 for a while, and it’s been pretty exhausting, so I’d like to stay off the hype train until it’s realistic to board it haha.

Just get on the hype train! A lot of us here have been riding it for multiple years and we have yet to run out of drinks, snacks, and HYPE!

Am I reading into the title correctly when I think “Last Minute Area” means the game is nearing completion? I understand if you aren’t ready to give a release date or anything, but it’d be great if I knew whether or not I should board the hype train yet. This is probably my most anticipated game of the year.

Ditto! I check this every day and am so excited.

In a weird way though, I’m really savoring this time in my life, because there will be a day where I’ve played through this game and solved all the puzzles. Considering the fact that this game is about the essence of discovery, I’m embracing this time where I don’t know what is going to happen in the game. Very happy and grateful to everyone who is a part of The Witness Team and all the fans who post here (and have been for the past few years) on a regular basis! Wish we could have some celebratory meetup one day! (I’ll make t-shirts!)

Eagle eye! Took me a minute to spot him! :-)

That’s a statue. There a many in the island. but the only real person is you.

Well, in previous post John wrote that they have all puzzles done… but that does not mean that they are done ;) They may have still play with engine, tweak stuff… from my experience, the closer you are to finish the more stuff you find you forgot or like to tweak… its up to their milestones…

Anyway I am also super excited about release date announcement :) checking the blog every day..

Personally I think that we dont get any ETA, like Jon says everywhere when he is asked about release date “it will be released when it is done” :)

I intend to show this to my 65 year old father who isn’t a gamer at all, but has a liking for puzzle games. Particularly some of the old-school ones. I am very confident he will love this piece of art, but there’s only one way to find out!

Good luck, and I am looking forward to uncovering all the secrets you are no doubt putting into this :)

….Right?

………..Please???

……………………I NEED THIS
