Trivia / Journey (2012)

• Austin Wintory has a complete score of the game with running commentary and gorgeous fanart here.
• No Export for You: A variation; the game is available for download on PS3 and PS4 worldwide, but despite the physical PS3 versions reaching North America, the same cannot be said of the physical PS4 version, only being released in Europe and Asia. Fortunately, the disc isn't region locked, so those in North America who want the disc can run the game on their consoles just fine. And with the release on PC, all localization matters are mostly cleared now.
• Pre-Order Bonus: The game was made available for purchase one week before its official release date. Buying it within this time frame gets you a free dynamic PS3 theme; in addition, PlayStation Plus subscribers can access the game a week early.
• What Could Have Been: The setting was originally a large canyon, where a glowing split in the rock could be seen in the far distance, as opposed to a split-peaked mountain. And the protagonist's early design resembled some type of samurai, as was shown in a few early teasers for the game. Also, the penultimate chapter was originally going to have you being beaten to a pulp by the Guardians before finally dying. It was tossed on the grounds of being too over the top.
