The highly anticipated The Witness is now on Gamersyde with the PS4 version and some 1080p videos. It is too early to give you our thoughts about the game because we have not really been able to play much yet, but at least you're going to discover the very beginning of the adventure, its mysterious atmosphere and the very nice art style.

Too pricey for what it is though. Id at least expect a physical disc for what they're asking for it.
Watching a video does not do it any service (apart from showing off how beautiful it is), you have to play it. Unless you don't enjoy puzzles, secrets and exploration.
I have yet to encounter any music, which whilst I understand why, I can't help but be a little disappointed considering Braid has one of my favourite soundtracks.

It is clearly not a game for those teen COD style shooter game fans but if you love puzzles then it's unlikely that you will disappoint in this game.
But it was the same story with Portal back then, many teen or dull people called it shit :)

the simplicity of the puzzles (lets face it, they're free ipad maze quality puzzles here) don't do the game any favours. sticking them in a nice looking world doesn't really change that for me. and the lack of soundtrack, lack of meaningful narrative and the fact what is there is apparently pretentious drivel just doesn't sell me on it when the thing costs almost as much as a retail disc based game. i loved portal (included in a much more robust package) portal 2 (i bought it cheap) and the talos principle (far more engaging puzzle dynamics and a good narrative to boot, not to mention it was budget price ON DISC day one)
so no. i don't think it's poor value due to the length of the game. i think it's poor value due to the CONTENT
And $40 isn't "almost" $60. It's already a budget release.
this needed to be a price that reflects what it is. currently it's an indie release pricing itself among the big boys of gaming. if it had a more interesting puzzle dynamic and on disc i'd accept a £25 price point. but given the nature of the simple puzzles...i don't think i could even stretch to that.
This game's price is fine. You're cheap :P

as i said. i'll buy it when it's on disc and hits a price point i feel it's worth (£20-25)
You're twisting the numbers. You are comparing a "sale" price to retail... but okay.

and no. these aren't sales number. these are prices i pre-order games for that arn't even out yet. fallout was £35 when it came out. not a sale. not a bargain bin, not an offer. that is how much it was.
not to mention when it comes to physical releases you have the option to shop around to see who is selling the new game cheapest. try do that on PSN...see how far you get. lol.
the only place you can get away charging those prices are digitally because there is no market competition and no alternative. if you want fifa digitally on PSN you HAVE to pay £55.
shops are differnt though. they all try to undercut each other. supermarkets practically give games away to get you in the store and buy more stuff. if you can get a game for £35 by shopping around. then as far as i'm concerned, the game is £35. and i reiterate. no-one pays RRP for console games. unless you're one of those idiots who went digital only for some reason.
