The Talos Principle coming to PS4 (Q1 2015)

[Andy]

The Talos Principle is an environmental puzzle game, similar to The Witness, reminiscent of Myst in some ways. It is developed by Croteam, who are famous for the Serious Sam franchise. It supposedly will arrive in Q1 2015 for the PS4. 1080p, 60 fps. "The game is running on the Serious Engine 4, housing some of the most advanced and dynamic visual effects available in a game engine." No Xbox One version is in the works at present, because they "weren't able to get their hands on a dev kit."

They describe it as "a first-person puzzle game in the tradition of philosophical science fiction."

Here's a review commentary that shows you more about the game:

Interesting. I may give this one a go. I am guessing it's a DL-only game priced $25 or less?

 

[Kassen]

This is good. This game looks a bit demanding. So I'm glad the PS4 is getting it.

I assumed that at first, too, but I just looked it up on Steam, and it's $39.99 there. So, maybe $60?

Ok, didn't expect it to be a full game but with those kinds of writeups I am keeping it on my radar.
