Jenova Chen thinks that video games don’t access enough of the human emotional spectrum. Sure, they do revenge and aggression well but they struggle to handle love or other kinds of deep connection.
While this is, on one hand, the very worst the internet is capable of conjuring, namely putting human clothes on cats, I don’t care. This is Journey cosplay. For cats.
In an article published by The Atlantic earlier this month, writer Taylor Clark posited that “video games, with very few exceptions, are dumb.”
The moody, desolate affair that is Journey isn’t an obvious choice for a hip-hop remix, but it’s got one anyway. Don’t worry. It’s been tastefully done.
Part of the beauty of PSN game Journey is the fact there’s nothing to the world. There’s you, another person, some flying carpets and…something else. No back-story, no expanded universe, no codex.
If there’s one game where costume packs really make a joyous addition, it would have to be LittleBigPlanet. Later today the game will be getting a Deep Sea Adventures Pack so you can wrap a pufferfish around Sackboy’s head. Next month, your Sackboy will be able to dress up as The Thing from Journey!
