Like Team Ico’s past work, talking about The Last Guardian too much inherently drifts into spoiler territory, but we have years to unpack this. You’re not dragging him along like a chore, he’s with you the whole way. It’s even more impressive when you see all of the effort that went into making Trico a part of your journey (from a visual and audio perspective), drilling down to minute details like how he’d feasibly cross over into new areas. Plus, just like real pets, they’ll piss you off from time to time and not listen. As a pet owner for roughly half my life (cats and a dog), I can definitely relate to that separation anxiety. ![]() There’s also a tantalizing inherent fear to not having Trico around, if you have to crawl into a cave and part with it for even a moment. Same goes for the noticeable pop-in with outdoor areas. This isn’t normally an issue with puzzle solving or traversal, just exposition, so it’s not a big knock, just something to consider. But there are many cases where we get a cinematic view that zooms out or centers a bit, so it’s just not consistent. This is in part due to how large Trico is, which is no doubt a deliberate design choice. It almost ruins some poignant moments because it’s so stringent and doesn’t allow you to fully view the environment. My only real problem is with the camera, strictly when it comes to the framing during in-game events. You’re playing it the way Ueda and his team unabashedly intended it to be played (as an aside, I had no idea I had to mash buttons to turn a seemingly endless load screen into a five second one, so there’s a tip for you!). I mean, there are barely any options at the start either - it’s basically just some minor camera alterations. They definitely feel archaic in many ways, like Last Guardian truly is a product of the PS3, or even PS2 era, but the juice is worth the squeeze. Microsoft shows off S.T.A.L.K.E.R.Don’t get too excited though, because if you haven’t grown up with old-school 3D platformers, prepare to fight the controls a bit. Guardians of the Galaxy will make players craft motivational speeches ![]() Shin Megami Tensei 5’s new trailer shows off its new protagonist, release date The Last of Us Part I should launch on PlayStation Plus Premium The Last Guardian is coming exclusively to the PlayStation 4 on October 25. Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony’s Worldwide Studios, said that the team even had to render the footage separately and speed it up to show it at E3 2009. The game had previously been in development for the PlayStation 3, but due to technical limitations, the development team made the decision to move to the PS4. Regardless, the trailer emphasizes the relationship between Trico and the boy. Some might remember the dark fog humanoids from ICO, but that’s really as close as we’ve gotten to humans when we’re actually playing one of his games. Right now, there’s too little info to say whether this is some fabric of the imagination, a friend of Trico, or simply another huge birdlike creature living in the same area.Įnemies are also present, and they seem a lot more human than what players have encountered in Ueda’s previous games. What’s concerning, though, is that the other bird seems to be unfriendly. That’s the name of the massive creature who seems to be trapped, along with a boy, inside of the huge architecture where the game takes place. For one, there’s not one, but two of Trico. In the trailer released for the game for E3 2016, there are some notable differences to what we’ve seen previously.
