CVG: The Last Guardian - Will It Bring You to Tears?

Of all the technical advancements the PS3 has brought, it's the simple things that really impress Team Ico's Fumito Ueda.

For instance, he's particularly taken with the amount of expression it can bring to a character's eyes. Perhaps this isn't surprising coming from the man behind Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, games which carried as much emotional wallop as they did spellbinding action.

I have no doubt Last Guardian will be yet another entry on the PS3's great lineup of AAA masterpieces.

Troll_Police4971d ago

Agreed. Anyone who has played ICO and Shadow of the Colossus knows that The Last Guardian will be another PS3 exclusive masterpiece.

solar4971d ago

SoTC almost did. along with MGS4.

MNicholas4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

as it is wonderful.

Why anyone would someone knowingly put themselves through that emotional roller-coaster? How could they not?

This man is the greatest game designer alive.

.
Shadow Of The Colossus makes me feel on top of the giants, hanging to dear life, and engaging epic battles.

I wouldn't be surprised if this game could make me cry.

HeroXIV4971d ago

The music alone in the trailers is enough to bring a tear to my eye. I can't imagine what the full story will do. At some point the creature is gonna die I think. :'(

MysticStrummer4971d ago

If you're talking about the music in the 2010 TGS trailer, I'm not sure why that would bring a tear to your eye. If you're talking about the music from the early trailers, that probably won't be in the game. It's from the soundtrack to a movie called Miller's Crossing. Great movie. Having said all that, it wouldn't surprise me at all to shed a tear or three at some point during this game. I can't wait, and the HD remixes of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus can't show up fast enough either.

Dellis4971d ago

Games will never do that, unless your some teenager then ok

but a grown ass man is not going to cry over polygons

cliffbo4971d ago

you've never played a team ICO game then

Kyur4ThePain4971d ago

It's not about polygons. It's about emotions. Even books...simple letters on pieces of paper, can bring one to tears.
It's ok to cry once in a while. It's good for you. Go ahead and give it a try.

cliffbo4971d ago

dare i say he probably will this November

stuntman_mike4971d ago

like the article says he will need to "stock up on tissues"...actually that aint a worry for most teenage gamers as they always have a stock of tissues next to thier beds...just not for crying.

f7897904971d ago

I will never cry! NEVER! :| ..... :"(

yewles14971d ago

If the trailers make you cry already, how can the full game not?

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

banger88169d ago

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183168d ago

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

persona4chie167d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.

Technical issues aside, this is easily one of my favorite games from last gen.

ClayRules2012852d ago (Edited 852d ago )

I couldn’t agree more. I’ll never forget the emotional experience I had with this game. After waiting all those years, and than to finally play it. It was a visual beauty, along with offering a story/friendship between the 2 characters that was unique and unforgettable. Far surpassed my expectations. A masterpiece!

Technical issues aside, never have I played anything quite like it!

Magog852d ago

I enjoyed the game but it started out too simple and easy. If the entire game was as intense and challenging as the last 20% it would have been a 10/10 experience.

EvertonFC852d ago

Great game, so underrated. One of my favourites and top 20 games of all time

Phoenix76852d ago

I managed to grab the collectors edition for £40 about a year after it released. Was an enjoyable game, but I had just finished Shadow of the colossus, and whilst I enjoyed it, it was not as good when compared.
