This game will drain me emotionally I can just tell. I wanna protect the cat bird. If something happens to it I will lose my shit
I was hoping it would turn into a near futuristic shooter involving nanomachines, fuck sony
Eh? Not really.
This was from 2009 (keep in mind this is not HD but you have things in this trailer that is similar to the stuff we saw yesterday). If anything the lighting looks quite dated because it's harsh and quite saturated.

Can someone rehost somewhere else please ? Like imgur ?

Seriously? Were we watching the same video? The way the kid controlled looked pretty janky and imprecise. The controls don't look very tight at all.

So damn beautiful!
Almost can't believe it finally happened.

As someone who didn't give a shit about TLG, and has never played Ico & SOTC - this reveal was fantastic.
I cannot believe how great the beast looks in terms of animation and expression.

New phone background get!
Edit:
*sniff* it's beautiful
We have no idea if that was actually running on PS3 hardware though.

Well I think it's a gorgeous looking game, PS3 roots or no. It's not a graphical powerhouse by any means, but that ICO aesthetic goes a long way when creating a world that's visually pleasing and bursting with atmosphere. The animation is top notch too.
Truth be told, I'm just glad that the game didn't get overhauled or anything; that was my major worry. It still looks exactly like the '09 trailer I know and love, and that's enough for me.

Let's not forget the game ran at about 10 FPS on PS3, hence the major problems. The combinations of lighting, animation and physics were beyond PS3
I think the desaturated lighting is just something inherent with Team Ico art style
SOTC was one of the most advanced, if not the most technically advanced game on PS2. Yes it had a crap framerate to show that, but it was technically advanced and they were doing stuff like approximating HDR, object motion blur, cloth physics, Fur shading on PS2 !
Yes these were basic..but it was on the PS2 ! at a time when games didn't used to do these things usually. So nope, Team Ico were known for their technical capability as well.
I think that was more the fault of the player. There was times where he seemed to use full lock on the left stick where it would have made more sense to use slight movement, which he did in other parts.

It looks like a PS3 game that would have run at 1 FPS. ^_^

Wahhhh these textures are not high res enough it's so last gen. I didn't even notice the unprecedented quality of the creature animation because I'm a gigantic idiot. Wahhh.

Yeah I think it looks great. If I'd never seen it before I think I'd still really like the look of this game. Great art direction, clean IQ, nice lighting etc. It pleases my eyes.
It looks pretty deliberate, Ueda likes to give his characters weight.
Well, Shadow of The Collusus IS a technical marvel. What they pulled off with a PS2 there is ridiculous.
I'm kinda expecting metamorphosis or something going by SOTC. The blue horns remind me of the weird energy in ICO yorda could interact with.
Did you play the previous two games?
Where is that thing about 10FPS coming from? You got some proof/source on that?
You can see that the video looks alright, and if the video was not running on PS3 then why was it using performance saving dithered alpha to coverage blending for the fur ?
And yea, the desaturated lighting is something Team Ico does, but it's can be desaturated and still not be harsh.

This is basically my new filter. If someone's going to excessively nitpick the graphics in this game I know I can ignore their opinions going forward. It's definitely not perfect but it services the game perfectly well.

Early in the sense that it comes out at an indeterminate time next year (read: late 2016). Games are typically rough in some places when they are over a year from completion. When they aren't, it's because it's a vertical slice that overstates the quality of the final product.

Yeah, there were lots of concerns the vision would totally change... It didn't, now people are concerned it looks the same as the reveal...
You just can't please everyone... I just hope the game runs solid with the full story intact...ICO and SOTC ran pretty janky and I just adored them... They were never considered the most graphically impressive games, they were fun games with beautiful art and wonderful stories...
That's what I expect from this...
There you have it, the framerate was unbearable at times, in the 10s even. Many other developers could've pulled of the same stuff with their games but they didn't because it would give the same horrible results. So throwing all kinds of fancy effects on a game (which was at the end of the PS2's initial lifecycle) resulting in a terrible framerate is not something which I would call "technically capable"
With that framerate? God of War 2 was more impressive to me, sure, SotC was more open but the presentaion and graphics coupled with a pretty stable framerate puts it ahead of Team Ico's stuff.

From Sony sources on this forum. And the only time we ever saw the game running in real time in the preview that came on the Ico Collection it looked like it was running in single digits

Played a bit of both. You're right, they weren't the best playing games either.

This is only thing i didn´t like. Is like the kids movement wasn´t full 360 grades but based on only 8 directions and made it imprecise at times. For the rest, day one.
So a Fumito Ueda game then.
Game looks superb. Don't know what some people were expecting...
