The Last Guardian director Fumito Ueda stopped by the EU PS Blog to announce that The Last Guardian and ICO/Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection had suffered a setback, and while there, he gave the reasons why.
2011: The year of the PS3 exclusives. That’s what Sony would like you to believe and although I never trust what a massive cooperation has to say, the proof, this time, is in the pudding.
The Last Guardian has seen a decent delay as of recent, with Sony pushing back the game all the way into the holiday season. Who knows, the highly anticipated title from director Fumito Ueda might not even see a release this year – but before you get all feisty etc., look below the break to see why, as the developer’s unleashed a plethora of information to PlayStation: The Official Magazine about the game, talking of the Trico’s unique strength, working around the “limits of games” and much more details.
PS3′s the most capable gaming console on the market now according to many developers, but Team ICO boss Fumito Ueda has said his team is pushing the machine to its “very limits”, and that functionality like 3D will only be implemented if there’s more juice left from it.
New footage of Fumito Ueda’s The Last Guardian has landed. And it’s presented to you unadulterated below the break.
No long walls of texts denying you access. Hit the link!
We’ve been lacking some decent Last Guardian information, but just like an elephant carrying water to starving desert descents, new details have surfaced, quenching our thirst to the maximum.
Get them past the break.
It’s a game we’re completely sure that every PS3 owner wants, and some retail outlets are already pinning down a release date for the highly anticipated exclusive title.
Finally, we have a release date, new screens and a spanking new trailer for one of PS3′s most anticipated titles past the break.
Gaming’s never been better.
Damage control, damage control, we have a very troubling situation here. What seems to be some new screenshots of Team ICO’s new game, The Last Guardian, has just landed on the internet and it’s catching the whole place on fire.
I can’t see nothing, the smoke’s engulfing the entirety of gaming’s web.
The speculation has ended, then. Team ICO’s The Last Guardian will be present at the Tokyo Game Show.
Clap your hands, people.
At the Tokyo Game Show, Sony’s presence will be felt. It’ll be felt so strong that I’m sure gamers the world over will faint in awe.
The Last Guardian, however, might not be there. I can see excited faces dropping like old men ready to die. What!?
You know Sony, if there’s one thing they do well is exclusives. We’ve seen all the big names the company has in its arsenal haven’t we? Wrong, because according to SCEE boss Andrew House there are a “few more” exclusives yet to be announced.
Sometimes, the most awesome news comes through simple Q&A sessions, sometimes even via twitter. In fact twitter is the place celebrities come out and talk all sorts of things these days.
In this case, Fumito Ueda, the man behind upcoming PS3 exclusive The Last Guardian, retweeted what many journalists would love to know.
When something is good, say it’s good. “If you like it say you like it”, are the lyrics to a popular song from a band named WCK. And it’s true. Why do people give flowers to the dead is beyond me; those flowers should be given to loved ones while they’re alive and can actually smell the thing. Because when you’re dead, believe me, you won’t have time to smell flowers. Is either you’re up with the savior or down with the heat. Enough of that.
Same thing with game developers. We don’t applaud them enough in my opinion, the games we enjoy took long years to develop. And never let anyone fool you into believing that games development is an easy thing, because they’re not. You want easy then go to a movie set in Hollywood, but if you want intricacy and painstaking, tedious work, welcome to the games development business.
