The Last Guardian: The astounding sequel to Shadow of the Colossus - Games

Everybody who played Shadow of the Colossus loved it. Everybody who played Ico loved it. (All of twelve people) I hope more people play this game when it comes out, because it will make them cry, and love it. It is THE most beautiful game I have ever seen, with amazing lighting, draw distances, and animations... The trailer and screenshots you can see here are all real time, and fully representative of gameplay. Just watch the damn thing!

I'm not even sure if it is a game. Like Ico, it's about bonding and connecting with someone that you have to help along, in return for assistance in areas you can't bypass. Like Shadow, you climb on a huge monster. Like both, the atmosphere is impeccable, with amazing environments and sound effects. All I really know about this game is... It might force me to get a PS3.

looks pretty good

The ICO series has the most brilliant series ever.

Awwww of the day.

Aww look at the giant bird cat rat thingy.

[B]SPOILER[/B] I'm guessing the kid is the same person from Shadow of the Collosus, when he got turned into a child. Although SotC wasn't in the same place as Ico, so who knows.

Looks pretty cool tbh. Too bad it's a PS3 exclusive :( [editline]10:33PM[/editline] also, i'll bet ItchyBarracuda is going to love this thread.

Xbox exclusive by the end of the month

This kid has no horns, so he can't be Wander's descendant. Perhaps the Eagle thing is guarding Dormin from escape? Who can tell.... [QUOTE=Uzi-Face;15490006]Xbox exclusive by the end of the month[/QUOTE] Right. One small problem with your theory is that Sony owns team Ico.

[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;15490006]Xbox exclusive by the end of the month[/QUOTE] Why's that

This might force me to get a PS3 Shadow of the Collosus was brilliant.

I'm ashamed to never have played Ico, and only a little bit of Colossus.

That big bird/dog thing reminded me of The Neverending Story.

Loved Ico and Shadow, shame I refuse to get a PS3.

That thing's gonna die at the end of the game, I just know it. And people are gonna cry over it.

I just know by the end of the game that thing will die and I'll feel all sad :(

I think that first image is going to be my new wallpaper on my PS3.

I played ico, I'm one of those twelve! :D I'm probably going to buy a PS3 just for this game, if I can get my hands on a cheap 60g one or something. It's so god damn expensive.

[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;15490006]Xbox exclusive by the end of the month[/QUOTE] That has to be one of the most stupid things I have heard today. This game in reality isn't possible on the 360 no matter what, unless they dumb it down.

The differences in animation styles for the child don't really look good to me. He seems far to bright and almost cell shaded in some parts. It looks off when compared to the photo-realistic background. Then again, it's not near release yet so i'm sure this is just a part they haven't gotten round to. Unless it's intentional?

It's a hyena bird cat goat thing! Hyena head, bird feathers, cat body, and goat horns. :v:

I absolutely hated Ico but Loved Shadow of the Colossus (Probably because i played Ico when I was quite young and Shadow a few years ago at a friends house). Looks good

lol the graphics look mostly the same as Colossus, save for the dynamic lighting. Which is by no means bad, that was one of the prettiest games ever. I hope it's exactly like Colossus with the big world an all, but just more stuff to do in the big world. And you can find any boss at any time. That'd be siqq

It's the LAST Guardian. No way it doesn't die

Looks frigging beautiful. I've never played Ico, but I own SoTC. :3:

This game looks stunning i am actually considering getting a ps3 for it
