Few games are fortunate that the art direction is as important a factor as to base the game mechanics to create feelings and give lessons without giving a concise text you need to do, this game developed by thatgamecompany collaboration with Studio Santa Monica takes us to experience a game or want to see it where explicitly revolves around the art of it and the musical accompaniment of Austin Wintory.


If we talk about the art of Journey we have to name the person who made it possible in this case this person Matthew Nava being the art director of the study and who falls mostly game artwork, the book features a collection of his artwork and sketches of the game, there is stress that may know his work by the previous game that was involved which was FLOWER, and why i'm talking about these aspects of the game and being that this is not a review? Easy, because you can not surround the subject even if only speaks only of this art book, because the game itself is linked strongly to these issues I mention.

It's time to talk a little more about this art book:

It has 188 pages (most in color)
The language of the book is in English
It's hardcover with a paper cover around.
It's fantastic.

The interesting thing about these books are the early visions with developers about their games and in the case of Journey is no exception, Jenova Chen address when development is very different from the final product and based on designs preliminary game in the book were quite radical and even the addition of having online was a topic, you may have noticed that I take as inspiration for games like Dark Souls online cooperative play, well, that's because they realized that this type of interaction has a strong element to make companionship and want to help each other, is given the task that had to be without voice and without text, this was done in an effort to empathize with the other players.

It also has a coupon to download the soundtrack of the game on the PSN and among other curiosities Fan-Arts included several very well made and give them their own section to appreciate the work done by fans of Journey.

This art book contains interesting data and information about the creation of the game as well as preliminary sketches and concept art of all the important parts of the game such as characters, environments, creatures, architecture, sequences, etc.. for a collector this is a great acquisition for fans of the game a must have, talking about these issues in particular I would point out that the architecture is very informative section also curious since these structures were handled in a peculiar way as there was based on a current architectural design but based on the art produced by advancing the development of the game was like going to shape these majestic works.

Would probably like to know more about this art book and a gallery that will leave them at the end of the post so they can see in detail the art of this book, but not give more details of the game itself that may be caused by spoilers and I really I would like you to experience first hand, for those who want to acquire this art book I leave a link to Amazon where you can get it. Have a nice journey.
