Sony Santa Monica may be best known for its gory work on the God of War games, but the studio also contributes significantly to Sony’s first-party lineup by working alongside smaller teams such as Q-Games and Giant Sparrow. As a result of its labour, it’s already announced four titles for the PlayStation 4: Flower, flOw, Escape Plan, and Sound Shapes. But could there be more on the way?
Posting on Twitter earlier today, creative director Nathan Gary – who famously pitched the concept of the console’s share button to upper-executives – uploaded images of all of the aforementioned games – and then added Journey and The Unfinished Swan into the mix. He made sure to include a PS4 development kit in each of the photos, apart from the ones of the unannounced titles. Nevertheless, the insinuation from the developer’s timeline is that these classics are on the way to the next generation machine.
The platform holder is set to announce some new titles as part of a massive GameTrailers livestream on the eve of the impending system’s North American release. We wouldn’t be surprised if these titles formed part of that lineup. Regardless, with both releases scoring 10/10 on this very website, we’re practically doing cartwheels over the prospect of playing them again.

I don't know if I missed something, or if that fact I'm emotionless is muddying my eyes, but I've discussed this with Benjamin above several times and I personally would've given Journey a 3/10. I don't see what was so good about it at all.
I don't know how long it lasted but it felt like it would never end and it was just draining my joy. I honestly would've asked for a refund were it possible
@Strofan7 I'm well aware of my unique position, however I still don't understand the other side.
Every review I read about its "haunting beauty" just reads to me as a pretentious attempt to make the reviewer seem like he's discovered his own deep and meaningful life lesson from it. I was genuinely angry at the end as I pushed myself hard to keep at it thinking there would be something astonishing waiting for me, however, when the screen slowly showed those pissing sand dunes again I just walked over to my PS3, turned it off and left the room
@benrawr I am genuinely baffled. At Journey's conclusion I just sat still for five minutes to think about how much I had enjoyed the experience. I class it as one of the very best games I have ever played. Of course everyone has different opinions on things - but did you not gain any enjoyment from Journey at all? Seriously??
@DVS Genuinely. After about 3-4 hours I was just wondering when it would end.
I absolutely adored Flower, Flow was my first downloadable game and I'm the only person I know to have completed it, but Journey just bored me to the point where I came upon strangers and just followed them, hammering that irritating glyph button to cause as much confusion as possible
Have never played Journey however just watched the IGN review and... WOW!!! Even the review clips were spectacular! Would look amazing on PS4.
I do agree with @benrawr though - "Every review ... just reads to me as a pretentious attempt to make the reviewer seem like he's discovered his own deep and meaningful life lesson from it"
When speaking about the beauty of the no communication multiplayer, the IGN reviewer said "its some of the most meaningful multiplayer I have ever enjoyed in gaming"
ahhhh.... no. Im sure its a cool experience but enjoying actual socialising with your best friends on couch co-op games should be - by far - more meaningful to your life.
I havnt heard or read any other reviews but I can imagine people going a little over board.
Will definitely be one of the first games I play on PS4 (if not the first!) when i get one.
@benrawr i'm speechless, Journey is one of the best if not the best game i ever played, you have no emotions dude, i couldn't stop crying in the end of the game...
@ferrers405 I know that FEEL, man -_-
I just described the game to my girlfriend and her response was "that sounds horrendous"
@benrawr Gif Combo breaker dude!

That will be me if it is denied again
Although if confirmed:
