Playstation.Blog writes: "Hello PlayStation blogees! We here at thatgamecompany are so stoked that this week "Flower" will be out of our hands and into yours. A lot of people ask us what it's been like to work with Sony, so you may have heard us answer this before - working with Sony is a treat. They truly support their developers and their games from start to finish.

I wanted to mention this as a way to introduce to you this developer diary, where SCEA's Eric Koch and I talk about the ideas behind Flower, and show you how the gameplay works. We hope you enjoy it!"

Flower Priced for Europe

PS3 News from N4G | Flower

Quote from site:

"Sony have revealed that PSN game Flower will cost just £6.29 when released next Thursday 12th February.

In the US, the game will actually hit the store for $9.99, so it seems that we are actually getting a bit of a bargain.

Flower, which is developed by makers of Flow, thatgamecompany has players restore vibrant colours to the dreary dream-worlds of city flowers. To do this, petals must be steered around on the wind and clattered into other flowers, sending up more petals to join the cause."

Flower Priced, Has Seven -- Not All Sunny -- Levels

PS3 News from N4G | Flower

PS3 - Flower - Flower Priced, Has Seven -- Not All Sunny -- Levels

Via 1up.com:

"In a press demonstration today, thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen gave us a sneak peek at the latter half of Flower, addressing some of our curiosities, while adding a few new mysteries. In December, we got to play through the first three levels of the PSN title, which has you flying around in the dreams of flowers, collecting petals and beautifying the environment. You can read our impressions here and watch us talk about it on The 1UP Show. But, like many of you out there, we were curious what came next -- the first two levels are quite similar in nature, with the third just hinting at things to come. Will Flower have more than four levels? Do you get to do more than fly around in the sunshine? Now we know the answer."

PS3 - Flower - Stop and Smell the Flower on PSN February 12th

Kelly Santiago writes: "Hi! I am really happy to finally let the internets know the official launch date for Flower. Hooray for releasing games (It's really my favorite part)!

Flower is a tough game to describe. We like to think of it as a video game version of a poem; an exploration into the tension between urban bustle and natural serenity. Players accumulate flower petals as the onscreen world swings between the pastoral and the chaotic."
