Hello PlayStation blogees! We here at thatgamecompany are so stoked that this week “Flower” will be out of our hands and into yours. A lot of people ask us what it’s been like to work with Sony, so you may have heard us answer this before – working with Sony is a treat. They truly support their developers and their games from start to finish.
I wanted to mention this as a way to introduce to you this developer diary, where SCEA’s Eric Koch and I talk about the ideas behind Flower, and show you how the gameplay works. We hope you enjoy it!
Like when I tried “Linger In Shadows” – some games you just have to buy to say you tried the experience…this is one of those games for me.
Watched this earlier on Youtube. Can’t wait for Flower.
i think i will give a try
Game looks so immersive and innovative, I can’t wait to experience it. Looks amazing and another great PSN Exclusive.
I think a demo might convice me. well?
I want to buy this too any word on the file size although it doesnt really matter to me as i have a 320 GB hardrive.
this game look interesting ill give it a try
I’ll be picking this up on Thursday. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time. Keep up the great work!
Hm what the point of the game? You cant die and no missions? Seems a little pointless to play if theres no challenge.

There’s plenty to do in the game. You explore. Don’t put down what you don’t understand.
That was the best PSBlog video ever. I had no idea what this game was about, now I’m looking forward to trying it out.
This week? But I want it now :( I loved flow and I know Ill love flower. I cant thank you guys enough for making something besides these adrenalin pushers. They really have changed how many of us, including me, perceive games as a whole as well as what they are capable of.
Thank you again :)
Definitely getting this one – it’s great to see such a very original idea make it this far.
I really want it to be Thursday.
Day 1 purchase. Good work Sony and thatgamecompany :)
Just make sure SCEE know they’re putting it up Thursday ;)
#9,
The point is that it’s not like any other game out there. Watch the dev diary video and listen to what they’re saying. They are trying to bring different kinds of experiences to users, something more than shooters and hack-em-ups.
Now this type of video content is something I want to see more of from the Playstation Blog, although in my opinion it wouldn’t hurt if less time in the video was spent on trying to sell the game and instead you could explain more about the development process and such. Good job! :)
will buy! :)
day1 buy for sure
I’m on the fence with this “game”. Like Linger, it’s more art than game.
As someone who bought flow and enjoyed it for what it was, I’m going to try flower as soon as I get some money. Great to see sony supporting new games like that, while still having the socom and wipeout for the hardcore gamers.
I’ll be picking this up. Master Splinter is somewhere in this area. You have my support.
Do you know if Flower will release in Europe this week, too?
Yes! It will be available worldwide, Feb 12!
