Quantcast



Remember that mysterious trailer we saw a few weeks back that claimed to be a new project from Team ICO, called Trico? Well, it's not called Trico, but yeah ... it's very real. The game is actually called The Last Guardian, and the only way I can appropriately describe what we are seeing here is to say it utterly took my breath away. If the game even begins to live up to its looks, we have a real doozy on our hands here.

The Last Guardian is the final game in the trilogy with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. We'll be bringing you more details and screens of it later today, but it looks like it could be the most stunning of all the Team ICO games yet. I think I actually wet my pants a little bit. Stay tuned!

The trailer they showed off looked fantastic. I'm totally in the hype train.

I need an action adventure game to replace Zelda, because I just don't fucking care about that franchise anymore. And I'm hoping this will be it.

The animation of the boy still looks wonky, cel-shaded, which is jarring against everything else being photorealistic. I hope they work on that.

The Team ICO games are just so beautiful. This made me the happiest. Kratos removing that minotaur's guts came at a distant second.

Let me guess, little musical soundtrack going on, and you and only a couple of people exist in the world. That's my guess.

Why the frack must everything be a damned trilogy? Why is 3 such a dick-hardening number to these people? Game looks tight tho.

This game looks stunning, PS3 has quite a tasty looking line up so far.

Team ICO as a studio is owned and operated by Sony, so it is and will remain PS3 exclusive. Sorry.

Great to see this. The Trico video was obviously an early version of this trailer, due to the temp name (Shadow of the Colossus was called Nico for a bit) and very rough textures, like the ugly boy, but you could see some strong concepts in it. It was great to see this trailer make it all look more finished and polished.

@ wanderingpixel

The game is being made and published by Sony. Better save up some money.

I hope this game explains what a fuck is going on.

@Chronic
It isn't only 2 people in the game, is a person and a beast this time.
That's why is awesome.

The Last Guardian is such a generic name for a game that will undoubtedly be an instant classic.

I'm just happy it finally has a proper name so people can stop referring to it by the stupid project name.

Crap. Well then I'll just play it at my friends house when it comes out :)

I'm with Wedge. "Project Trico" sucked ass. . . The Last Guardian is way more epic. Can't wait for this instant beauty.

Yeah, that giant petmonster is so fucking dead by the end of the game.

Why does that title remind me of Medivh from Warcraft?

Going to get this one as soon as its out.

If there is one thing I regret in life, its that when Shadow Of The Colossus came out, I was too busy with school to notice it, find out about the gem it was years later and then struggle to find a copy new or second hand in stores when trying to find one.

YES! And by the time it gets here my wallet will have recovered from having bought a PS3. I bought it because I knew this was coming. SQUEEEEEEEEEEE ^_^

Haha the music is beautiful but it's not original, it's the theme from the movie "Miller's Crossing", which was not about Japanese baby gryphons but actually about mobsters... yeah.
