Braid PC price + two more platforms confirmed

Following yesterday's unpopular news that Braid PC would cost $5 more than the Xbox 360 version of the game, the creator of the title has now reduced the price to the original $15 figure.

"Yesterday, Stardock announced that they would be selling Braid at the end of March for $19.95," wrote Braid developer Jonathan Blow on his blog. "This price has proven to be unpopular in certain areas of the Internets, so I've reduced it to $14.95."

"Some people have asked why I picked the $20 price point," he continued. "The answer is, I just looked at some comparable games on the PC and saw how much they were charging."

Blow cited the prices of Crayon Physics Deluxe, World of Goo and Aquaria as examples of PC indie titles priced at $20.

"Ultimately, I would rather have people talking about the game itself, what they like and dislike about it, than about how many American Fiat Currency Dollars it costs," concluded Blow, who noted that two additional distribution platforms for Braid PC will be announced shortly.Shacknews

I still think i'll wait until it's on sale for $10. As far as the other platforms, I bet it'll be on the DS and Iphone, what say you guys

I say you should change your title, because its not "confirmed" if its a hunch that YOU have. hopesfall2own

A PSN version has been talked about before so I could definitely see it heading Sony's way. I really hope so as I'd love to pick this up. Indie games have such a great feel to them.

"distribution platforms" could just as well mean STEAM, D2D and other services, not necessary console/handheld. Heck...it's most likely exactly that since he said "distribution platforms for Braid PC"AdrianWerner

You beat me to it.

We can hope, can't we? It's not too far fetched to believe other platforms will get to experience the game. But if you want to come in here and rain on every one's parade, go for it.0bscurity

But in that case this will apply:

better squash the hopes soon than to leave people foolishly believing something jsut because it was wrongly stated in thread's title :)AdrianWerner

"It's a limited exclusive so if I were to try to make a PS3 or WiiWare version of the game I would have to wait a little bit," he said, explaining that he was fully focused on the PC version.

"PS3 might happen in the future. What's going to definitely happen this year is a PC release. The only reason that's not out right now is because I wanted to focus on one platform at a time," Blow added.Johnathan Blow

But hey, what do I know, amirite?

If it's as good as people say it is, why are people complaining about a budget $20 price tag >_>

Hopefully PSN will be one of the other platforms, this is a game I've been wanting to play for awhile.

Hopefully Blow is ready for the shock of an ass-load of piracy.foxhound_fox

Even if it goes to PSN, we lems can say we enjoyed it for months b4 you and we can pull the sloppy second card. Keep-the-Faith

we would only say that if cows pull the "360 looses another exclusive" card.

[QUOTE="carlisledavid79"][QUOTE="Keep-the-Faith"]Even if it goes to PSN, we lems can say we enjoyed it for months b4 you and we can pull the sloppy second card. violent_spinal

See????? I knew this would happen.

now enter the proper lemming counter response:

"enjoy our sloppy second"

And the circle of lifec (system wars) continues.

[QUOTE="Keep-the-Faith"]

[QUOTE="carlisledavid79"] Because making the game available to more people would be a very bad thing, right?carlisledavid79

well sure.........but that is different because it is essentially the golden fleece of cow arguments.

If 360 got MGS4, sure its a sloppy second, but we still stole the "E" in AAAAE. And that will be a tremendous SW victory.
