Well... at least it means I don't need a PS3 yet.

I don't like the sound of this at all.

"So that's tough, but we haven't changed any focus. It's still a really important project and a vision we want to see realised, and Fumito's vision is really causing a very difficult challenge for the developers, so there's some scrapping and rebuilding - iteration in the process. That's why [it's taking so long]."

Its getting to the stage where i dont think it will come out , or it will be such a disapointment when it eventually does because they have had to take it off the people who care about it and give it to someone who will 'finish it' :-(

£190 at the moment (via Amazon) , so i'd expect it to maybe get to that by the end of the year (depending on what announcements happen at E3)

Urgh. Is it worth them just waiting and making it a PS4 launch game at this point?

What? Argh. Goddamn it, this is the only game that I'm even remotely excited about. If I ever got my hands on the box I'd be vibrating with excitement. I'd call in sick to work to play it. I'd cue up at midnight even. I'd eat dry roasted peanuts for a week to get a copy. I'd stuff egg sandwiches under my armpits for a fortnight to finally see it. I'd pour English mustard into my orifices every day for three weeks. I'd spoon mayonnaise into my bottom for a month. I'd ... etc.

Looks like Zardoz can safely skip the PS3 altogether. It's coming for PS4!

I'm bumping this old thread because I've convinced myself THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is today. At 11PM. I reckon it's coming to both PS3 and PS4.

If I'm wrong I won't post nowt for a week (not that you're bothered) but if I'm wrong I'll post in all capitals for a week. SEE IF IM WRONG!

ANNUAL E3 THREAD BUMP.

This year, people. THIS YEAR.

What we're getting is this: no playable demo or nowt BUT A NEW TRAILER. Will we though? Yes. Yes we will, cause I believe that there's a God out there. A God that wants YOU, the inhabitants of Be Excellent to Each Other, to love and be loved by a computer animals of sorts. Then cry when they eventually kill it in the final act. ONLY FOR IT TO ACTUALLY BE ALIVE. Ok, so we probably don't need to play it now cause that'll probably be the story but let's pretend that we do want to play it and ONLY POST IN CAPITAL LETTERS IN THIS THREAD TO SHOW HOW EXCITED WE ARE THAT ITS FINALLY COMING. Probably.

GET READY TO JUMP ON A HYPE TRAIN.

E3 showing "on very good authority" says The Guardian newspaper.

If this actually happens then I don't know what I'll do. I'll probably just cry. Just tears of joy. Sobbing uncontrollably. My body will shut down and I'll suffer a catastrophic embolism and die before I ever play it.

I know what I'll do. I'll buy a PS4. Then it'll get postponed until the next generation. AGAIN.

It looks bloody brilliant. Not surprising that it's taking them so long, that creature must have to do different animations for every puzzle.

I do hope this is good because more good games is good; but after not being particularly fussed with ICO or SotC plus the amount of time this has spent in development (not always a good sign) I'm not all that optimistic.

Hmm, yeah, I'm slightly more concerned having just watched the trailer.

It makes me think about an interview I read with the producer years ago when talking about SotC. He talked about wanting the horse to feel more like a real horse so they coded it to not always 100% do what you wanted it to; so it had a bit of personality about it. You can see aspects of that idea in the Last Guardian trailer where you need to jump up and down for a while at the end of that platform before the creature finally gets the idea you want it to jump across to the other side. Which is well and good in terms of giving the thing a personality and all, but I worry that when playing an actual game for hours it just gets annoying that it doesn't take direction well. The worst thing you can do in a game is put a barrier between idea and execution (see: any puzzle game where you've already worked out the solution but have to spend boring time with fiddly mechanics actually implementing it)

Also, the puzzles there seemed contrived and weird. So you jump across onto one platform so you can basically destroy it and jump back onto the side the creature is on and swing on it's tail. Why? Also you need to roll that column forward so it can climb up on the final platform, but you'd expect that column to just roll out under it's claws as it paws at it. The whole thing just looked like they'd had the idea of this companion creature then tried to work out reasons to use it after that. Hmmm.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
:kiss:

I did think the same about the log but insofar as the big windmill thing I can imagine you'll have come across that earlier in the game and you'll learn that cat bird dog face hates them for some reason and you can't progress until it's removed or destroyed.

Also, had you spent more than 5 minutes on Shadow of the Collosus you'd realise that the horse is marvellously implemented and there's not a moment when it doesn't do what it's told and, in fact, it can move about when you're riding without much input from the player which enables you to admire the scenery, stand on its back, track colossi and so on without worrying about the players need to aggressively take control of the horse.

I'm not slagging the idea off per se, I had no issue with the horse in SotC at any point in my wanderings. Which were relatively sizeable as there was a point when I had no idea where to 'trigger' the next collosus so just spent some time exploring the place.

I've watched the video a fair few times now and I've only just realised that there are two pegs that stick out above the platform and you actually roll the log against. It does make sense after all.

I assume Cat Bird Dog Face is the 'Last Guardian' and the tower looked like siege tower with a big ass ballista in it.

I went into a shop today and they have a box saying you could Pre-Order this. The box was just black with the words The Last Guardian on it but it looked official as it someone had sent it to the shop.

Cool story, right?
