The Last Guardian - new screenshots and footage (IGN preview)
- Thread starter nbnt
- Start date
^^^ This too with all the feels of having a familiar attached.
This demo has me ready to go adopt a puppy. It looks great and sounds about right. What's interesting is the origins of everyone.
Is Trico a pup or an adult? Is he a weapon or a spirit?

You know the post you quoted was a joke, right? Look at his next post.

I would buy the remaster a second time on PS4. Ico especially still looks incredible today. Simple art styles hold up very well.
Ico, wind waker, these will look beautiful forever.

People shitting on graphics don't care about this game in the first place. Since when were Ico or SotC technical powerhouses? SotC framerate was an abomination, so no clue what these people were expecting.

Not watching that footage, thanks. Screens will be enough until ~October.
SotC was, though at a great cost (20fps). You're still right though.

I don't get what's funny about it...there are a lot of posts talking about the screenshot like its representative of the final game. How is this not trolling at this point? Like when did it become hilarious to make hyperbolic posts that's really just a "joke"
Like who's is actually laughing from it? Seems stupid.
It's incredibly stupid and annoying, and if this is what we have to look forward to in every TLG thread until release, oh boy it's gonna be a long year.

Sotc? Yeah about that... It had techniques most PS3 games didn't even have.
admittedly those are some pretty crappy screen grabs. But anyone can watch the video if they want. The game looks great in motion imo.

This looks more and more like it's going to be a classic on the same level as Ico and Sotc.
They need to nail the controls, pacing, level design, atmosphere and story for that to happen - and I believe they will. Fumito Ueda knows how long he has made us wait and he will put his all in to this game and deliver!

This game looks awesome, though.

He was almost assuredly taking the piss out of people who were being serious. The picture he posted afterwards confirmed it.

I'm going to be all over the animal training element of this game. Hope we can actually do some persistent operant conditioning (though that might be a bit much to ask of the AI).

On the topic of the game, I'm super excited to see more of it. I really like what I've seen so far. Glad to hear it's still on track for 2016.

Nah. Xbox One quality (aka working mans graphics) is more apt.
Seriously though, Fumito Ueda games were never heralded for their technical aspects. It's the visual style, art design, music, animations and atmosphere that makes these games special.
Video is up on youtube: https://youtu.be/Kgjvrv47qes
This game in motion is gorgeous!
If they manage to get the AI of the creature right (The article in edge magazine reports some instance where a programming error made the creature to not follow the player) this could be a masterpiece.
Anyway I am going into media blackout on the game from now on, fingers crossed for a summer 2016 release.

The relationship he describes is very peculiar and vague.

DooMAGE isn't even trying to be subtle as well.

SotC is a technically amazing PS2 game.. apart from the framerate.
Bleached lighting in direct sunlight is very much Team ICO's style.

I need this game so much T-T
I also need to resist watching the new footage. I need to be strong.

Honestly, people watching / reading the IGN preview and only coming away from it with 'bad graphics' were probably not that interested in this game in the first place.
The IGN and Edge previews have me more confident than ever about the potential in this game. It already sounds so intriguing and both IGN and Edge sure sound excited about what they have played so far.

Damn... I got goosebumps watching them talking about the game! I can't believe we're getting FF15, Persona 5 and this in the same year. What a time to be alive

Man those screenshots do it a disservice, the game looks great in motion. The animations are top.
To the people complaining about the graphics, THIS IS THE FUCKING LAST GUARDIAN! YOU'RE LOOKING AT DREAMS RIGHT NOW!!
Also that surprise is verrry interesting.

Sounds like ignorant people to me. I think a lot of Wii U games look great. Smash, Pikmin, WWHD, MK8, etc.
as does TLG.

too late, 2 of my friends who were really hyped for both died this year.
just kidding lol they didnt, but i almost did last year and would have missed out on both. goddamn i'm lucky.

I recommend the Youtube upload of the IGN video - it's easier to appreciate the fantastic attention to detail of the animation work that has gone into this game. Still look's a little choppy, but that will hopefully be addressed by release time.

Concerns:
1. Most of what we're being shown is the same area from the E3 reveal. Suggesting they aren't comfortable showing other areas yet. Trico probably bugs out.
2. Edge's article begins highlighting A.I. Issues suggesting the game is still finicky.
3. It sounds like Trico's A.I. Is so intensive it's probably one of the reasons the game graphically looks like a ps3 game as Trico uses GPU threads.
4. Unsure on if the game has enough new ideas to stand out in a sea of clever indies.
On the other hand Trico is awesome. Looks awesome, behaves awesome, feels awesome, and with the exception of maybe Nintendogs nothing is as cute or believable on consoles. Edge confirms that the usual profoundity of Ueda's past games is still there. The only real issue is that if this game brought back from the cancelled by the internet's appeals can in fact overcome the reasons of cancellation. It slso sucks that Ueda dodges those questions in the Edge article. Can not wait on a Trico breakdown. What algorithims are powering him? Is he a refinrocement learning algorithim?

These type of games are spoiled easy so showing new areas is a no-no.
That's a lot of leaping...in terms of areas, why say they are not comfortable showing other areas when the game is coming out this year? Maybe they want to keep the experience under wraps?
And in terms of the visuals, again, cause i have to keep saying it, its the art style, scale and ambiance that has always sold Team ICOs games, , and that has not changed so i don't exactly see why you expect them to deliver a level of fidelity that does not suit the art style.
The child is supposed to be simple in design just like ICO and Wander

The animations are freaking crazy.

That IS the E3 demo, IGN's just edited it in for padding and they'll probably trickle out more video over the coming days.
I'm really impressed with the animations for when the boy is balancing on Toriko. His footing constantly changes and he holds his arms out like he's on a balancing beam. Little weight shifts react realistically.
I think people are always going to say dumb stuff like "is a ps3 game" (despite the fact that they literally could not get it to run on a ps3) but the animation is really nice.
