I own a 360, but i can honestly say that I'd love to play this game on the PS3. The creator of this game made Shadow of the Colossus, which was my favorite Playstation 2 game of all time. It was so simple, elegant, and i felt so much accomplishment after every colossus fell. I also know that the creator of The Last Guardian and Shadow of the Colossus made Ico, a game i have yet to play.
Anyways, The Last Guardian looks fucking Amazing, and I wish i could play it.(I probably will at my friends house). Anyone else looking forward to it, or has anyone else played shadow of the colossus of ico?
 
I'm a huge fan of the Ico series, yes.

I've not been able to get The Last Guardian out of my mind since I saw the E3 trailer.

Ico is one of my favourite games ever, and I rank Shadow of the Colossus extremely high too. Both brilliant games.

I've yet to beat Shadow of the Colossus... I plan to finish it off this summer as I'm near the end, but will definately do it before The Last Guardian. Though The Last Guardian will no doubt be its own game, it'll probably share some common links with the other two and some parts of the plot may be connected, just like Shadow of the Colossus (a prequel) was linked to Ico.

I can already see that the boy comes from a similar tribe of people that Ico might have came from. Also the armoured guards / stone guards seen in this trailer have eyes that resemble quite a few of the colossi.

As for gameplay this game so far looks like it is going to combine the best elements of both of the Ico games so far. It looks to have the awesome giant creature mounting movements that Shadow of the Colossus had, while combining it with the interaction elements that Ico had with Yorda in Ico. It also seems to have quite a bit of platformer type exploring again like Ico had, away from the creature, and not just a massive open map with a few (beautifully designed) ruins as in Shadow of the Colossus.


So yes, I am extremely looking forward to this game! :O
 
As you should my friend, as you should. I also noticed that the gameplay was a mix of the previous titles, like you stated.
I cant wait to get my hands on it. By the way , the Guardian was so fucking beautiful and awesome.
 
I'm interested in learning what the creature is. I think the design of it is pretty spectacular...

It reminds me a bit of the Never Ending Story dragon character... Sort of dragon/dog face... But this one also has the body resembling a griffin as well, so it is all very bizzare.

I've read on the internet a lot of complaints (by non-fans) that it looks too ugly, and they may as well have made it look badass and add lots of gore and make you smash everything to pieces with it.. But I feel that isn't really the concept of this game at all. This is going to be more emotional than that.

The creature is lonely, and is actually pretty cute too, and you can see it in its eyes. It'll probably be about the boys relationship with the creature, the creature trying to protect the boy and vice versa. It's probably been trapped there or something for ages, and is the last of its kind.

Hence, the Last Guardian, lol.
But people today think good games only have "blood, guts, gore, etc."
But with this game(which hopefully will be as awesome as its predecessors) doesnt need that to be a great game. Its a shame that people diss a game because its not "action packed blood gushing sexual humor happy fun time!" (that sounded like a japanese game show).

And i agree that the creature is innocent. It even looks like a baby or a youngling of its kind, i think.
 
I'm both looking forward to and dreading the game.
The game looks fantastic and I'm a huge fan of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, they were like works of art. I can't wait for this one to come out.

But I dread it because I don't own a PS3 and I don't exactly have the money to get one. D:

Anyway... Since watching the trailer I've been thinking mostly about this: Which one is the guardian? I mean, it looks like the beast guards the boy... But at the same time I can't help but get the feeling that the boy is just as much of life saver to the beast as the beast is to the boy. I think it would be cool if the boy was the guardian they're referring to.

Regardless, the game looks spectacular and beautiful. :)

Click to expand...

Agreed, and that is one of the interesting things about it.


The creature appears to have had a very harsh life so far... It was in chains at the begining of the trailer, and I'm guessing it was tortured.

If you notice:
The creature has only small parts of its wings left... I'm assuming its wings might have once been bigger, but that only what we see now remains, and they don't look complete... Suggesting they have been ripped off. They are also very bony and not many feathers on them, which also hints at them being broken.

It has arrows stuck in its back, suggesting it has been shot at a lot.

One of its horns has been sawn down to a stub or broken off.




It looks to have had a hard life and in serious need of rescue from its current situation.

Perhaps it is reciprocal in that they are both guarding each other? I'd suggest that the boy went there specifically to rescue the creature, but it appeared that he was terrified of the creature, running away from it, up until the moment the creature saved his life in the trailer.

So perhaps they will both work together to try and escape this land, or to find something in it, similar to how Ico and Yorda both helped each other escape the castle seen in Ico.




Try as hard as I can, but I really can't get this game out of my head. :D
 
Team Ico are simply brilliant, despite this only being their third game in around 8 years they put every effort into making their games a good as they can get. I'd easily rate them one of the top developers despite only two released games so far.

The Last Guardian only seems to continue the trend tbh, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous and look to blitz FFXIII in that respect. Can't wait to get my hands on this little gem.
 
I want it so BAD! Vladislak and I are on the same boat, so to speak.
Mod Edit: Can you please put more effort into your posts please, such as why you are looking forward to getting the game. Thanks =]

As if you just happened to post this as I was complaining there was no news. :D

Thanks. :monster:


Trailer was good, but short. Showed a pretty good scene again. I loved the way they made the creature wake up, stretching its legs out etc.

I enjoyed watching the interview as well.
 
A sort of double post here, but since it is half a year since the last post made here I figured it would be ok. :sad2:

Anyway I wanted to ask if anybody has heard anything about this recently?

It's been ages since anything was revealed to us, as far as I know. I'm wondering if anything else has been revealed since what has been posted in this thread that I don't know about.

I was under the impression that the game would be coming out in 2010, yet we haven't heard anything in a long time.
 
I was looking on Friday at games and it was listed among the coming soon games, it's supposed to, according to what I read, be out this year.
 
Watched the trailer last night and was beyond impressed. I need a PS3 badly for some of the amazing games you lucky buggers are getting! Ico was brilliant and I need to play SOC this weekend. But yeah Last Guardian looks stunning and just beautiful. Love the guardian, reminds me of Never Ending Story.
 
I really hope we get a release date for this at E3. Hands-on demo or something... shit this game looks so good. It may actually finally force me to buy a PS3.
 
The Last guardian , another ps3 exclusive like Heavy rain that will blow minds away :D
I cant wait to play it..I never played ICO or Shadow of Colossus but hopefully they will make ICO collection..ive heard so many great things about them.
 
I'm glad they're making an appearance at TGS since we haven't see anything for ages although I don't expect much to be shown. They'll probably keep it minimal since they were in two minds whether anything would be show. Probably a minute or two trailer. :hmmm:

The E3 trailer from over a year ago was fantastic, but the one we got shortly after (I think) that didn't show anything at all (other than the awesome development footage before it).

I'm glad it'll be at <st1:stockticker>TGS</st1:stockticker> though, and hopefully it won't be too long before this game is released now. Though if it is a long wait then I understand. I'd rather them perfect this game than throwing it out there unfinished. They avoided E3 this year as they were concerned that the look of the game was not very presentable, so they're obviously taking quality very seriously which is good to hear (and I wouldn’t expect anything less from Team Ico).

An appearance at <st1:stockticker>TGS</st1:stockticker> could either mean that they are near to completion, and it is in a state to present, or they are just making a brief appearance but showing us nothing in order to assure us that the project is still being worked on.
 
Im looking forward to seeing more of this game. I never played Ico and SOTC is probably one of my all time favourite games. There's hardly any dialogue but the characters and story had a lot of depth to them. It's almost like you're not playing a game, it's more of an experience really. :hmmm:

I'm sure they're going to give us something amazing with this game. I'll definitely have to get that bloody HDMI cable so I can see in it's full HD glory. :gasp:
 
I can not wait for this game and I hope we get a release date soon. This will be a very great rpg since Ico and SOTC were just so ace. I hope the new trailer hopefully is more stunning than the last trailer we saw cause that was so awesome :awesome: Well it is going to be at TGS so yay.
