It's more of a Team ICO/Ueda comparison than anything TLG-specific to be fair.
You're right but I believe it's made by ex Team Ico devs.
It's already available separately in the US store :)
Do you know if the theme is included in the EU pre-order? US page for the game mentions the theme but none of the EU pages mention the theme being included in the pre-order.
Thats amazing but I don't want to change my Tetris Effect one so soon...
Not sure about getting this one. It looks like it could be great but I think I'm just a bit bored of the 'little kid/lone person' solves environmental puzzles in desolate world' type of game.
Don't know why that is though.

Looks great! The Team Ico comparison is obvious because of the pedigree, but it also reminds me of Journey and Limbo/Inside in a way.
Been looking forward to this one since the first reveal. I hope it turns out to be a great game (iirc development was a bit rough with the main guy leaving at some point). I love these type of games so this should be a day one purchase (depending on reviews).

This theme is not in the EU store.
Do you know if will be available later?
Theme would have been better without the grey background for the apps.
You're suggesting Ashen and Vane 'copied' one specific indie's art style? Unless you're referring to some gameplay component I'm not seeing between them wrt Vane. If you did mean art style...that's a pretty silly claim considering how prevalent minimalist styles are with indies to begin with. Also kind of belittling to their respective art teams as well.
no, not just a generalised minimalism, they are somewhat visually specific. And no can OWN a style, they just can hope it is made "standard" by sheer popularity. something absolver never did, it just got early on the market than most of these small team and long development projects.
I had never heard about this game but it looks great... aaaand, are you saying it's gona come out soon?
Januaray is gonna be awesome.

I don't believe I ever mentioned anything close to that claim, so not sure why you're bringing it up (owning a style). No offense but I think you're attributing an influence that is merely coincedental. Looking at media for Absolver I see similarties to Zeno Clash's character designs, but would never deign to suggest the devs copied it. Inspiration comes from many sources (and budgetary contraints), so unless you have some specific material pointing to Absolver's influence on these titles, whether it be interviews with devs or otherwise it's probably best not to make such broad claims. It does a disservice to the work art teams put in to use something like 'copy' to begin with re: art styles. Inspiration is a bit more apt, and respectful :)
Nah, it looks good that way. The gray produces a nice contrast against the moving elements. Also it was the team's request, so it maintains the integrity of the art as well. :)
So this comes out in less than a week. I'm very curious how this game is going to be reviewed (anyone know the review embargo date?). If reviews are solid, this will be my first 2019 game purchase (well, i bought Detroit but this was a 2018 game). I've stayed away from most media but i love these type of games.
2 and a bit years ago I started considering buying a PS4 because there were 3 particular games that I had a strong desire to play: The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush, and Vane. I bought the Pro when TLG launched and having this finally come out is building a lot of excited anticipation in me.
Pre-ordered already but it's a shame that the theme isn't available in Australia with the pre-order but I'm used to that (we get shafted with themes regularly it seems).
