"Up until now, the only image that has been released about Team ICO's next game is a single image of a chain hanging down what appears to be a well. Today we help lift the curtain off of this project a bit and shed some light on what Fumito Ueda has been up to these past few years and as you will see, it is rather close to ICO.
This is very early footage the next game from Team ICO. As with most early footage you can expect graphical enhancements for the final product. Some of these elements, such as the main character, or scenarios you see here may not make the final cut."
Fumito Ueda, creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and the upcoming The Last Guardian talks about the importance of visual fidelity and technical benchmarks.
“It's thanks to that my games have a very special aesthetic profile. It's a way to make the player forget about technical limitations and focus on the gaming experience.
that is so true

LOL. I really enjoyed SOTC. With that said, I really wasn't impressed with TLG showing at E3. Gameplay & graphics were mediocre. Of course it is far from being finished and Team ICO are masters of their craft but unless they show some gameplay/art style/story element that blows me away, I won't be thinking about this game let alone buying it. Cheers.
The first Project Trico footage leaked onto the interwebs still has gamers awestruck. But although beautiful, mysterious and artistically striking in the style of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, the action on display is at least 18 months old. Well, now Trico has a new name, The Last Guardian, and the trailer debuted at Sony's press conference shows just what Team ICO have been doing since then. Below, you'll find a picture comparison between the Trico and Guardian videos and the new trailer provided by G4TV.com. What a difference a year (and six months) makes.
I hope Ueda switch the designs back cuz IMO both the boy and the bird look cuter in the original. Both were younger in the original and that is probably easier for a wider audience to feel compassion about.
Maybe both are gonna grow up throughout the game and Ueda is just showing us that. Wonder what he has in mind for online also, cuz he's been wanting to do online since Shadow of the Colossus but couldn't bad in the days.
Can't wait to play this...
Although it was surrounded by two hours worth of major announcements and unveilings, the trailer for Team Ico's first PS3 project, The Last Guardian was, for many, the highlight of Sony's E3 press conference yesterday. In fact, we're sure many have been watching the trailer over and over non-stop since the conference.
Well hit the pause button! IGN has some actual details on the game thanks to a lengthy Famitsu interview with director Fumito Ueda.
First, some naming issues. The game that eventually came to be known as The Last Guardian has been referred to by fans for some time now as "Trico," as it's the third project from the team that gained world attention with ICO on the PS2. You might also start hearing about the game by another name: "Hito Kui no Oowashi Toriko." That's the official Japanese name, as listed in Famitsu. It literally translates to "The Giant Man-Eating Eagle Toriko." More on the word "Toriko" in just a bit.
"For this third project, Team ICO is making use of some advanced technology. Different from their past titles, they're using real physics. As an example of this, Ueda made note of a scene where the creature eats a barrel. This is not done with motion capture, but with actual physical calculations involving the barrel and the creature's mouth."
Its all in the details. Top drawer!
Heh, I never said I was done....
@ Haters... Colossal enough for ya?

So it's a half rat, half bird?
