The Last Guardian Coming to PS3 Holiday 2011, Watch the New Trailer

A busy day for Team Ico at Tokyo Game Show! In addition to confirming Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PS3, Team Ico also showed off a brand-new trailer for The Last Guardian depicting a variety of real-time gameplay footage.

[BornToKill]

i really hope that chicken dog thing doesn't die at the end.

[N4GAddict]

Me too. Hes too damn cute.

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

The most realistic animal ever, in a video game.

More realistic than EyePet. More realistic than Nintendogs. More realistic than Kinectimals.

Heck, even more realistic than Milo.

[Redrum059]

this is why japan dev teams need to focus less on "western touch" and more on there pasion and vision for a beautiful emotional game.

[DORMIN]

Requesting a new change of underwear plz.

=')

[vickers500]

Lol, I think it's funny that even though the thing has probably like 5 arrows stuck throughout his body, he stops to scratch his ear.

[sikbeta]

So Damn AMAZING!!!

TLG = Masterpiece

[TheHater]

during my play through of Shadow of the Colossus when I thought a certain "someone" died.

[RedPawn]

If he really is part chicken, at least the boy won't go hungry.

[BYE]

He's Asian, so it doesn't have to be chicken in that dog.

[Whoooop]

haha

Asian remark made me laugh...

[Cyrax_87]

Thank god there are plenty of games to play between now and Fall '11 though or else the wait would be unbearable.

[DMason]

Im really disheartened too. I thought this might come out in Spring, but a full year is such a long time. Oh well, it will be worth the wait Im sure. Ill play ICO and Shadow of the Colossus for the tenth time while I wait.

[shysun]

It will!.....and yet I will still cry like a bitch! lol

[Liquid_Ocelot]

Most of us will.

[Liquid_Ocelot]

I was saying while I had watery eyes. :'(
These are the type of games I love and respect..

Story>Gameplay>Graphics >Anything/Everything else.

[vickers500]

When it comes to Team ICO games that is. Most game devs (about 95% I would have to guess) could never reach the brilliance that Ueda brings, and so it's unfair to ask these other mere mortal game developers to bring such a similarly amazing story.

Other games must rely on gameplay alone, which is okay, because if the market was oversaturated with masterpieces, we'd all be ungrateful snobs. We have to have the bad/mediocre games to make us truly realize how great a game can actually be.

Also, you forgot art design (it does not belong in the graphics category, games can have the highest res textures, but still look bland and boring, ex. Crysis 2).

[TheLastGuardian]

I don't think the boy or Trico will die. This Fumito Ueda interview is why.

[DigitalAnalog]

The music, atmosphere....

TORIKO.

Seriously, I'm glad 2011 have a plethora of games to play or I'm gonna go insane waiting for this masterpiece.

-End statement

[tinybigman]

This game is full of win, and once again Team Ico does it again. Like someone said above japanese developers need to focus more on their passion and a hella of lot less on the western focus.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Game of the Year 2011.

every year.

[TheHater]

alone is Game of the Year material.

[karatechoplifter]

Nice to see a little gameplay, but you really can't beat the emotion that the original unveil for this game had. I almost wish they wouldn't show games this amazing until like 6 months before they come out. The wait is so excruciating.

[All_4_One]

Automatic game of the year. Unless you`re title is The Last Guardian, you better be packing your bags for 2012, it`s just not worth it.

[DORMIN]

If 2012 is Doomsday

and The Last Guardian releases Holidays 2011

Doomsday is cancelled.

[TheLastGuardian]

More like game of the decade.

[RedPawn]

Hey EBERT! here is some gooey POO STICK, come eat your words.

[MR LOOKINGBILL]

love the trailer will be getting this for my ps3. Hope Sony have more game play footage at the february GDC 2011....CAN'T WAIT.

[Forbidden_Darkness]

IM SO F&%$ING GLAD IT'S CONFIRMED FOR THE US FOR FALL 2011!!!

OMG! I AM SO F&%$ING HYPED RIGHT NOW!

[Ilikegames76]

the release date is for Japan, since this was shown in TGS. We'll have to wait for GDC 2011 for the confirmed date in the US.

[Myze]

Of course, I don't want to speculate, but this doesn't seem like the type of game that should be hard to localize for the US. I mean, there is probably little to no dialogue, and not a whole lot of text either. A worldwide release date seems very plausible.

Really though, this is the type of game you could probably easily get by with even if it were all Japanese, making it a prime example of a game to import (region free blu-ray ftw).

[Kain81]

Beautiful, i cant describe what i feel about this game....there are too many emotions to count...

(Btw...PS move demonstration stage is on-air now http://tgs.playstation.jp/
can we expect some new announcements there??)

[StarScream4Ever]

ITS SO FLUFFY!!!

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

so huggable. LOL.

[All_4_One]

I want my own guardian.

[TheLastGuardian]

me too but it's called trico.

[gfunkera10]

Simply amazing. The lighting effects are just stunning. Too much awesome here.

[RememberThe357]

It's so charming! You can't help but love it!

[N4BmpS]

I think, no, I know people are going to be loving this for a long time. The Feathers are just, wow.

[vickers500]

You didn't do a good enough job.

Allow me:

[TheLastGuardian]

Wow. I never noticed before that one of trico's horns is missing. If I could have one wish it would be for my very own Trico.

[Ilikegames76]

with the boy's hand? Looks like he's wearing a tattooed clothes or he's arm is tattooed.

[DigitalAnalog]

It's tattooed.

I know, badass.

-End statement

[bobrea]

I can't wait that long! D:

[whothedog]

I don't know why but I got a Zelda vibe from watching it, maybe it was just the music.

Anyways, I can't wait.

[All_4_One]

The absolute beauty that radiates from this game is unmatched. No other game comes close, this is just too damn special.

[TheGuardianFID]

"Look Bartholomew, it's one of your kin, except it's smarter and cuter!!!"

*Gets mauled to death by Bartholomew, AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH* 8P 8)

[TheLastGuardian]

*watches trailer over and over* That's is the most adorable trailer ever. I am going to fall in love with this game. You guys don't even know how bad I want to play this game.

[l King I]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
amazing soundtrack for amazing game

[maniac76]

thats like 2 years in gamer years lol

[Mr Tretton]

Looks amazing.

Go Chickendog!

[jams_shop]

Is there a way to deposit my paycheck directly into SONY's banking account? Cause it looks like I won't be needing it any more.

[SaberEdge]

Amazing. I am so glad SOTC and Ico are coming out for the PS3 to tide me over until The Last Guardian comes out.

[ElementX]

I think video games should be kept under wraps until a few months before release. Announcing Last Guardian over a year in advance is almost like torture. How can they expect people to wait patiently for over a year?

[CrzyFooL]

Nothing like the heartwarming tale of a boy and his giant dog-bird-thing.

[slutface]

unfuckingbelievable!!!!!!!

[rekof]

Rat-dog-chicken ,.. ma gonna call him Radochi !!
he sooooo cute !!

[TheObserver]

I get a studio Ghibli vibe from this, which is completely awesome!

[wenaldy]

ICO: Ico and Yorda
Shadow of the Colossus: Wander and Agro
The Last Guradian: Lil' boy and Chicken-dog-gryphon like pet

See the pattern? Reminds me Lethal Weapon movie... LOL..

Anyway day 1 for me... ;)

[yogaflame]

expect a beautiful but sad ending

[damnyouretall]

never played a team ico game, but damn them guys are talented

[Acquiescence]

awful fuckin' music. Far too cutesy. I instantly longed for the composition from the previous trailer, y'know, the one they stole from Miller's Crossing.

Still psyched as hell though, I just don't ever want to hear that skipping-down-flowery-meadows- with-a-big-smile-on-my-face music again.

[Triella]

They didn't stole from Miller's Crossing... Carter Burwell used a traditional irish ballad called "Lament for Limerick" also known as "Sarsfield's Lamentation" as the movie theme.

[Dogswithguns]

Next yaer holiday? I cant wait!!!

[Techlology]

This looks unbelievably CUTE.

And the music is just ungodly.

[MaximusPrime]

I was speechless.

Great trailer. I like that kind of games. really shows how good TeamICO are.

[bustamove]

Amazing. :o

[Ma1nframe]

These games are EPIC. The Last Guardian will OWN 2011. WOW SONY I LOVE YOU

LOVE that the XBOT's wont' get to enjoy this masterpiece LOL..but you guys still have HALO..............LMFAO!!!!!!! !

[tiamat5]

That is just too damn cute. I love the way although it is bigger then the boy it behaves like a playful puppy. Adorable

[morventhus]

this is by far going to get at least 10 goty awards and will probably be my favorite ps3 game forever
