Trico Pro incoming!

I would say take your time, but...yeah. I'm still waiting over here. Do your thing as long as it's best for the end product.

They have to be falling at the edges for money at this point. The debt has to be huge, to break even has to be impossible.

How the hell are they making money to keep this ancient thing alive?

Eh, they could still do alright if the game has legs. I have no idea how much is needed to break even, but it's not like they've been in full blown production for 9 years.

My confidence in this game is almost nil. Sony has barely shown it and yet another delay.

Wont be purchasing it now, same day as South Park: Fractured but Whole and a few days after FF15 (FF15 depends on if I feel like waiting for the PC version).

WE WERE SO CLOSE :(

I really miss that Team Ico magic. Their games are special enough to make janky camera controls feel part of the experience, I love them.

I usually don't care about delays whatsoever but this is just.......:/


I do understand that if they felt they needed to do it, is what had to be done.

I hope this game is good. I want it so bad. If it sucks I might just turn in my gamer card for a while.

I'm quite confident it will be very good.

Unfortunately a lot of people will approach it with the logic of "the longer you work on a game, the better it should be". Obviously that's very silly, but it won't stop people from complaining.

I don't think it's going to be a disaster. I think it's going to be a decent puzzle platformer that fails to make people feel the same level of emotional response they did with Ico and SotC. The legacy of those games was built in an entirely different era of gaming and critical climate. There's no way this game can have the same impact as their previous work.

Regardless, it looks like it will set a new benchmark for creature animation, so that's something. If that can translate into players feeling a strong connection to Trico, and the gameplay doesn't make you constantly frustrated with him/her/it, then there's a chance this game will be talked about with reverence in a few years.

I dont know why people keep saying this.

It's not like what SoTC is something for a bygone era. People enjoy these kinds of games where its slow, haunting, and emotionally valuable. The creature A.I is mesmerizing, and its fascinating to watch. The typical unexplained mystery of the world and the fate of the two characters is something everybody is curious to find out.

How does critical acclaim change from SoTC to TLG?

this game can very easily have an impact. There are also lots of people who havent played SoTC or ICO and will be introduced to a game that is so very uniquely Ueda

Until just now, I had conflated No Man's Sky and The Last Guardian and was bummed out for people that TLG turned out terrible. At least there's hope still!

Wow that was umm unexpected. Atleast its suppose to be a short delay. Well look at it this way people are long pass the parts where the game keeps getting delayed lol. Maybe it should be called The Last Time this is delayed Guardian for when the game finally comes out.

What a shame. Now I have Final Fantasy XV, Gravity Rush 2 and The Last Guardian almost together, meanwhile October and most of November don't have any interesting releases besides World of Final Fantasy (which I wasn't planning to buy on release).

Yeah

first FF15 delayed and and have nothing to play that month

and now this.

A fucking DLC(Dark souls 3) is the only non indie game related thing I will buy since Uncharted 4.

This has been a boring year for me as far as video games goes.

I'm blaming PS4 Pro. Don't know why, but I am. Seems to be the thing to do.
Oh, an Apple, for not including a headphone jack. I mean, come on.


OT, between this and FFXV, my fall gaming plans have been completely shifted.

Guess I'll be playing GameCube games and other backlog goodies until late November. (Not that it's a bad thing. It's a good opportunity to try out old games I never got to play.)

I was gonna have Setsuna in July, No Man's Sky in August, FFXV in September, TLG in October.

The best laid plans...

I noticed the thread and thought to myself "this must be an old thread bumped for lulz"

But no, of course not. How silly of me.

The games coming out this year and that's all the matters. I'm glad they delayed it rather than putting out a rushed game. I'm sure many other publishers would have put it out as it is and patch it later.
