Do a little search for Braid and what do we have?



I expect there will be a few more of these USK leaks before GamesCom. There's been many in previous years.

I thought about posting this, but I don't know of any other games that was leaked through USK and whatnot so I was just gonna wait for a better source. Anyways, this is good news, Braid is supposed to be a great game.

Based on the trailer it looks like a cartoony platformer with the same concept of controlling time like the game Prince of Persia: Sands of Time with a new thing thrown here and there.

I think this game was well-received on XBL, so I'm looking forward to see more...after Trine of course

I played through Braid, and I didn't like it that much. Its puzzle design is definitely unique and interesting, but its aesthetic does not appeal to me at all and probably ruined my experience.

I think that Braid was considered one of the crown jewels of the XBLA in 2008 (and later on with the PC)

Seems bigger news (if confirmed) to me than the recent PS3 anouncement of Castle Crashers...

Shin-Ra, you just made my day!

First we get Trine coming to PSN, then Castle Crashers is announced, rumors circulating about TMNT (1989 classic) likely coming to PSN, and now Braid???

All I need now is Monkey Island and I can sell my Xbox 360! I love the idea of having all my gaming under one umbrella.

I've played Braid on XBLA and loved it. The concept is quite ingenious, and the puzzle elements are tricky but fun. I'd pick this up Day 1 on PSN and re-live the experience.

I am not surprised at all. I think I read somewhere that the dude that made this game was not happy at all with Microsofts process of getting a game onto XBL. I believe it almost put him in the poor house. I also think he said that when he makes another game he probaly wouldn't put it on XBL, unless they made some changes.

I liked Braid it was a good game, now everyone else gets to enjoy it as well.

All true. And if the PS3 does get Braid, I think that would put to rest the question of which console online service is most friendly to innovative developers.

Officially confirmed by Hothead for PS3

Braid Confirmed For PlayStation 3
PS3 listing appears on German ratings site, Hothead confirms that it's on the way.
By Kat Bailey, 07/31/2009


Castle Crashers is finally on its way to the PlayStation Network -- and now Braid is next. Hothead Games has confirmed a recent listing on a German game ratings site, which has the popular indie title coming to PSN.
The listing was spotted by NeoGAF (via IGN), which showed that Hothead Games would be publishing. Hothead was also responsible for bringing Braid to Mac.

Braid originally arrived on Xbox Live Arcade last year, where it was hailed for its artistic sensibilities and unique puzzle solving mechanics. We gave it an A+ in our review, where we praised it as a "monumentally relevant game that speaks highly of its creators and their potential audience's tolerance for new ideas."

While Hothead representatives confirmed that Braid is on the way to the PS3, they did not give a launch timeframe. We'll assume that it'll be appearing on PSN sometime before the end of the year.

Its funny as this was one of the few titles that one of the xbots that I know defended the Xbox with yet I knew nothing about.

I'll definitely get TMNT Re-shelled, and I would love to get Monkey Island, after all Monkey Island can be found in one way or another everywhere except on PSN.

Will buy.
