Braid coming to PSN this November

November 4th, 2009 at 01:46pm Under PS3

Hothead Games has announced that it will be bringing Jonathan Blow’s popular puzzle platformer Braid to the PlayStation Network. Braid will be available on the North American PlayStation Store on the 12th of November, while a European date is promised shortly.

Braid allows players to manipulate time as hero Tim, journeying through a series of different worlds, solving puzzles along the way on a quest to save the princess. Tim has the power to affect time in a different way in each world, including the ability to rewind, create parallel universes and make use of time dilation to overcome obstacles.

Although you can’t die or lose in Braid, the game promises to challenge players as they search for puzzle pieces and solve puzzles by manipulating time in the non-linear story.

Braid debuted on Xbox Live Arcade back in 2008, and earlier in the year Hothead and Blow teamed up to bring the game to the Mac. El33tonline gave the thumbs-up to the Xbox 360 version of Braid, saying that “Once in a while a game comes along that just bends your mind in ways you didn’t know it could bend, changing, in some small way, the way you think forever.”

Incidentally Blow is currently working on his next game, The Witness, an exploration-puzzle game that will be released on multiple platforms in late 2011.

Braid creator teases next game, references Tao

The Witness Teaser Banner

Jonathon Blow, the creator of the hit, thought-provoking Xbox LIVE Arcade Game game, Braid, has put up a teaser website for his next game, The Witness.

A mysterious and teasing explanation reveals the game to be “An exploration-puzzle game on an uninhabited island,” and will be released on “multiple platforms” or “whatever makes sense in late 2011, when the game will hopefully be finished.”

Posting on his blog, Blow says that further information and visuals from the game will be posted on the teaser site for this “very visual” game in the future.

Additionally, on the main site for The Witness, there is a passage from Tao Te Ching, which goes a little something like this:

The Witness Tao Te Ching Passage

So it’s basically confirmed that The Witness will be another thought-provoking, even literary, game from Blow. Very interesting!

Super Meat Boy character select screen reveals playable Alien Hominid [update]

July 5th, 2009 at 08:00pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Things are on the up and up for Super Meat Boy developer Edmund McMillen. After releasing This is a Cry for Help last year and subsequently announcing SMB for WiiWare, he put his indie cred on display for the world in adding Braid’s Tim to his upcoming game. And now, during a live video interview with Bytejacker, McMillen revealed The Behemoth’s Alien Hominid as another playable character!

Quickly panning to his computer screen during the interview and teasing it, one of our wonderful readers snagged a screen grab so we could share it with the world. Now the real question: Castle Crashers characters playable as well? Hmmmm, McMillen? Hmmm?

(We love you. Please?)

Update: It was pointed out by a few astute Game Informer readers in the comments section that Alien Hominid was actually revealed as a playable character in a recent issue. Sorry, folks!

(Thanks, Zack!)

Survey: Developers still worship Miyamoto, Blow too

June 15th, 2009 at 12:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Luminary Shigeru Miyamoto hasn’t lost his shimmer in the eyes of game developers, with a recent industry poll finding the Nintendo icon to be without equal. The survey, commissioned by organizers of next month’s Develop Conference, asked 9,000 devs to name their game development hero, with nearly a third of respondents pointing to Miyamoto as the man with the plan.

The popularity contest also named id Software’s John Carmack as the next most idealized developer, followed by Maxis and now Stupid Fun Club brainpan Will Wright. The top ten list of industry highlights was rounded out by Braid dev Jonathan Blow, who’s likely too busy rewinding time (to see if he can somehow land higher on the ballot) to care.
