Journey creator was inspired by Animal Crossing



Wondering just where the ideas for Journey, the PSN exclusive title, came from? Thatgamecompany's Jenova Chen mentioned that he was pretty inspired by Animal Crossing when working on Journey. When you look at the two games side by side, you can definitely see how some of the communication ideas match up nicely.

I don't really see the inspiration but I'm glad Jenova Chen has good taste in inspirations. Loved Journey and love Animal Crossing. :)

Journey looks like a fun little game, but unfortunately I don't think it's worth buying entire console just to play it...

Just played the Journey demo. I'm really happy they went with normal controls and not the stupid controller wiggle like in Flower. Journey is worth the look see!
