THIS CANT BE HAPPENING TO ME

Lmao!! O boy

 

[Hot Coldman]

THIS CANT BE HAPPENING TO ME

you right now

 

[thehillissilent]

I think I'm starting to cry.

I know that feel bro.

 

[brau]

We need "It's Happening" Bunker gif!!!!!!

 

[TheAdmiester]

Looks pretty rough.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

THIS CANT BE HAPPENING TO ME

YES!!

YEEEESS!!!

 

[Ydelnae]

After all the years praying that this game was re-revealed/announced at Sony's conferences, when I found out that IGN had a TLG preview two weeks before E3 all I could think was: couldn't they wait until Sony's conference? lol

I don't want to watch too many footage because I'm sure there will be a trailer at the conference and ICO and SotC were games that you had to play without watching anything in order to get the experience right.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

2016 the year of happening!!

 

[Pastor Steven Anderson]

Warning: Spoilers for the first 45 minutes of the game.

This doesn't even look that great tbh. Edges look just as ugly as FF15's edges.

 

[Skeeter49]

It took me a second to process this when I saw it on Twitter. IGN tweeting at 7:00 that they played 45 minutes of The Last Guardian, it was a very weird time to reveal that. Seems a 2016 release is more and more in the realm of possibility, especially since they played it.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Is fucking TLG.

Just be grateful you can look at it and even play it lol

 

[D-Man]

Holy shit it's actually happening. I'm not gonna watch the footage but this made me really happy. Can't wait for this!

 

[Simo]

I see. That's awesome. Kinda awesome to give us a carrot on a string before E3.

Yeah, completely random and sudden too given the EDGE cover reveal today and them doing the IGN: First for FFXV. So this plus IGN hosting 2K's Mafia III E3 panel and I guess I gotta pay more attention to IGN over the next few weeks. lol

 

[Hexa]

YES YES YES!!!

 

[Ostinatto]

So Trico is a Colossus without armor? interesting.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

bring it the fuck on

 

[Nzyme32]

Wonderful!

This will be the game that I borrow a PS4 for!

 

[thehillissilent]

Thank you! IT'S HAPPENING BITCHES!!! GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE!!!!!

 

[Guymelef]

Fucking love.

 

[Philippo]

Hope this means a 2016 release is locked.

Waiting for a YT link because that player is lawsuit-level of awful.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

XV and TLG the same year.. My body isn't ready

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

First screenshot already looks spoiler territory. What am I to do? I'm so hyped yet I know Team Ico games are best experienced going in as blind as possible.

 

[Boke1879]

Yea those pics aren't the most flattering but seeing it in motion and it looks beautiful. Can't wait to see more.

 

[bananafactory]

Uedas games were never especially technically amazing. It was always the art style that carried them. This stuff looks fantastic to me

 

[Tohsaka]

I'm glad it's finally releasing this year, not going to look at any more media from the game after this article until it comes out.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Oh my God.

Blackout time.

Unless Sony has so much to reveal at E3 that they could spare to shed more light on titles via EDGE and site coverages...Oooooooooh! Gimme dat Red Dead..

Still utterly bonkers that TLG went dark after E3 and now in the span of less than a day we've gotten a cover exclusive feature, new screens and now more coverage and footage!!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Uedas games were never especially technically amazing. It was always the art style that carried them. This stuff looks fantastic to me

SOTC was a technical marvel on PS2, with the use of a lot of techniques to achive what it managed to do.

 

[Pastor Steven Anderson]

Is fucking TLG.

Just be grateful you can look at it and even play it lol

So what you're implying is, who cares if something looks bad as long as you've waited for it long enough? What kind of rationale is that?

 

[jett]

Well, kind of. The Last Guardian’s story is framed by an enjoyably sonorous narration – the player character recounting events as an older man - so we get overt hints about what to do next.

Trico dies confirmed.

You just spoiled, sons.

Of course, look at how well that went for Aliens: Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever...

*runs*

 

[The God]

Is fucking TLG.

People here care more about the memes than the actual game.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Man graphics is the last thing I want to talk about with this game lol idec

 

[PuppetMaster]

Don't think I have read a IGN article in years. But I for this game I will make an exception.

 

[Obliterator]

It's still crazy to think this is real. It looks absolutely lovely as well. Cannot wait for this to finally released.

 

[Rudiano]

Not impressed by the visuals, looks like an upscale of the early PS3 demo we saw a decade ago

 

[Smellycat]

YES

 

[...Scatter...]

I'm literally shaking.

LOL really?

 

[jmaine_ph]

I'm watching the video now. The images are just horrible caps. The game looks much better.

 

[Yabberwocky]

OP, you might want to clarify that the article basically spoils the opening scene of the game. Wish I had known that ahead of time.

I opened the article before OP's spoiler edit (thanks for adding it in, though, OP!), and it does spoil the opening, unfortunately, which I wasn't expecting.

Spoiler

So if the kid survives the events of the game to become the narrator...pleasedon'tkillTricodon'tkillTricodon'tkillTrico. Better idea, boy and catbird retire to the Bahamas to drink cocktails, best ending ever, 10/10, you can totally use it, Ueda. I think the game should automatically come with lifetime supply of tissues/Kleenex/whatever the fuck as a pre-order bonus, 'cause I'll probably need it regardless.

 

[Muffdraul]

Those screens look like shit, what are they doing?

"You wanted TLG so bad, well, here it is fuckers. Choke on it."

 

[NoctisVsStar]

To the TLG brotherhood us the XV brotherhood have always supported you guys! We know the pain, the tears, the years gone by. It's happening! Rejoice it will be an awesome game!


Trico has come to.

 

[GeoramA]

A mysterious junior appears out of thin air!

First 45 minutes, yeah fuck that. Blackout time.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

So what you're implying is, who cares if something looks bad as long as you've waited for it long enough? What kind of rationale is that?

There's MN9 level of bad and there's this.

This looks above a PS3 with extra detail and IQ, that's enough for me.

Is also accompanied by a nice artstyle, unlike...MN9 for example, which is truly bad looking in every sense.

After ICO and SOTC which are two of the more unique, beautiful experiences on gaming, yeah, I can forgive the game not being U4 level of graphics.

 

[bidguy]

this is a ps4 game ? is ist 1080p@60fps ?

 

[Loris146]

I still can't believe it. A real preview of TLG. What a time to be alive.

 

[Twix]

Graphics look incredibly outdated. The boy has zero facial features.

I feel like sony wants to release the game just to be relieved of its burden.

 

[Ostinatto]

Trico dies confirmed.

You just spoiled, sons.

If the older man sounds like Emon...Holy shit !!!

 

[Rapscallion]

It's definitely not the most graphically impressive thing out there, but holy shit give it to me.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So what you're implying is, who cares if something looks bad as long as you've waited for it long enough? What kind of rationale is that?

A big part of the hype around this game is almost like a meme, just the idea of it being playable has people shitting their pants after so long in development. Even if it comes out and its kinda half-baked walking simulator with PS3 visuals, its got legacy and history behind it.
