TGS: The Last Guardian may not be as tragic as we thought photo

At a Q&A session today at the Tokyo Game Show, Fumito Ueda said that he wanted to clarify some things he had been hearing on the internet about his latest title, The Last Guardian. He said that some have speculated about the game's ending from the trailer they shared at last year's show. It seems that many were quick to assume that the game would have a sad ending.

While Ico and Shadow of the Colossus may have had darker endings, Ueda says that The Last Guardian is open so far, and it may not have as sad of an ending by the time it is all said and done. In other words, don't start feeling sad for the big bird-cat thing just yet.

Of course, it's still early, and it could go either way. While they've officially announced a Holiday 2011 date for The Last Guardian, Ueda said that he would "do his best" to meet the date at the session, and admitted that they still have a long way to go.

Don't kill the big chicken thing, man. He's cute.

Even if it's still open what will happen, that griffin-ish thing will still die or leave or something more or less tragic.

He's just trying to get our hopes up.

So that the inevitable death will be all the more heartbreaking.

Get your handkerchiefs ready, folks...

No one has to die in order to have a sad ending.
They could separate these two in the end, after all the bond that was created for example. It doesnt always have to end with happines or death, there are many possiblities...

ICO didn't have a sad ending, I don't care what anyone says! It was happy! Happy! Man, I still remember sitting there totally stunned as the credits rolled, just staring blankly at the screen. And then the credits ended .. wow. That game was an experience that I will never forget.

Sad Ending! *Steals pillow*

They should do something like the "Save Carmine/Carmine Must Die" shirts with this.

@timtheterrible: That's exactly what I was thinking. . ."Save the bird-cat-thing" and "The bird-cat-thing must die!" t-shirts for your PS Home character.

My first thoughts when I saw the trailer that was leaked: "Damnit, they're gonna kill that little guy and make me sad."

I could imagine those two just hanging out at the end, not doing much.
Just hanging.
