Braid creator Jonathan Blow has begun teasing his name game, The Witness, a new website for which says it will be released on multiple platforms - "whatever makes sense in late 2011, when the game will hopefully be finished".
In a post on his blog a little while ago pointing to the teaser site, Blow said The Witness is "very visual" and that he would start demonstrating as much once the group making it is ready.
The teaser site describes The Witness as "an exploration-puzzle game on an uninhabited island", and on its first page displays the following text:
"Something amorphous and consummate existed before Heaven and Earth. Solitude! Vast! Standing alone, unaltering. Going everywhere, yet unthreatened. It can be considered the Mother of the World. I don't know its name, so I designate it, 'Tao'. Compelled to consider it, name it 'the Great'."
Meanwhile, Hothead has confirmed that it is converting Blow's last game, Braid, to PS3, although Blow told Eurogamer he is not involved.

I'm willing to endure a certain amount of this pretentious twaddle based on how amazing Braid was. This better not disappoint - but Braid came about largely without hype, which I think added to its impact. I don't think even Braid would've stood up against 2 years of hype generated by this kind of gumpf, which is what makes me worry about this one.

with quotes like that he is in danger of becoming the M. Night Shyamalan of the gaming world, however if the game is as good as braid then i don't really mind the pretentious prose, So I designate ! It's M. Night Shamalamadingdong. ;) Personally, I just breezed through the prosaic waffle in Braid for a bit, it was poorly written, long-winded and detracted from the game, IMO. Then again, I didn't complete it either. |
