Braid Coming to PSN

Archive: 20 posts


Apparently the ever-popular indie game Braid (http://braid-game.com/) is coming to PSN. I haven't actually purchased a PSN standalone game before, but I just might buy Braid when it's released (even though I've played it on PC). For anyone who hasn't played this little gem, it combines time-control and platforming very well. Just read a few of the reviews in the link above.

Figures. Their one year deal is up like tomorrow <_>

... I wonder if this is the exclusive coming to PS3, or something else O_o. Any word from that site yet? If it's not this, then... D:

Yes!

This is even better news than Castle Crashers.

For some reason, I read the title as "Brain Coming to PSN" instead of "Braid"...

Anyway, on topic, it looks like a sort of cartoon-y Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, which is cool, because I loved that game. So, this is cool news.

It starts out feeling that way, but it does so much more than PoP:SoT. There's no swordplay or anything, just your standard 'jump on baddies heads' gameplay, but it get more and more complicated... You really have to play it. The best indie game I've ever played hands down (MM doesn't count as indie )

Bought the 360 version and LOVED it. It was the only Live Arcade game that I ever thought was worth looking at...

Also bought the soundtrack from Magnatunes, listen to a track from it at least once per creation

"Downstream" is an incredible piece of music...

too bad that the game can't be considered a truly "indie" game because it was made on a budget of ~$100,000

Oh yeah! Still I'm crossing the fingers for Mass Effect and Gears Of War spin off.
This makes me ever more convinced that if you just want one console you must go ith a PS3.

Braid looked decent. Don't know if I'll get it though. This year there are a lot of sweet games coming out that aren't shooters. Last year it was pretty much just LBP. And I'm saving up for a new guitar, so I might only buy one more game this year, which is either going to be Spore Hero or Civilization Revolution or maybe even Folklore.

This is off topic but what happened to our game that everyone said was just like Gears but was PS3 exclusive. It all took place in one tower but the towers was constantly changing or something like that. I didn't hear anything about it this year.

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's called Quantum Theory.

Castle Crashers is (http://www.gamesradar.com/f/comic-con-2009-5-most-important-missed-stories/a-20090727143215462062/p-3) coming to PSN. It was announced at Comic-Con.
Anyways, great news about Braid, been wanting to play it.

Folklore was boring and repetitive from what I've played, but I don't know about Spore Hero. So, go for Civ Rev.

Back on topic: Braid still looks interesting, and I still read the title as Brain...

I loved Braid. I remember buying it and beating in about 3 hours, but it was a very sweet 3 hours. The puzzles are extremely well done and I am proud to say that I completed it without any outside help. Great game.2009-08-03 02:00:00

A seriously great year for PSN. Flower, Shatter, Fat Princess, PixelJunk Shooter, and Braid thrown in there somewhere? Hope they keep churning out the quality content...2009-08-03 17:27:00

Amazing! I saw the e3 trailer for Quantum and thought it was one a the best games at e3 but no one picked up on it and you are the only other person I have ever heard that knows about it apart from me. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW! but then again there's always the Haze Factor.

Braid was one of the best games a last year and I have always wanted to play it so I am jumping for joy at this being announced for PSN as well as castle crashers and Fallout 3 DLC. Now if they could just find a loophole to get the GTA DLC for PSN that would make my year.
