Some people enjoyed Ico and Sotc (You may not, but who gives a crap what you think). Therefore, some of those people are looking forward to The Last Guardian, as it is made by the same developers.

Furthermore, the people's anticipation of the game is not dependent upon the potential sales of the game.

I hope that answers your question.

After FFVersusXIII (aka FF15) I have learned to never get excited about a game until there is a release date

I did. But I stop looking for games the more they get pushed back. It means something about it is so broken that it's not gelling in any sort of way. I'm almost in the same boat for Watch Dogs.

I do :(

...just a teeny bit.

Funny, I gave up on FFX cause I got bored with the repititive meaningless battles while backtracking.

Anyway this is how I feel about ICO http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4359217, so yes many craps given to maybe a chance to get close to that kind of experience again. I'll give you the complaint about the piston though, timing the jump right can be akward.

Totally not related very much to the topic but damn, that's some perspective. It seems I too have been waiting for that game for about a third of my life...

I actually kind of do. I don't think of it often, but when I do, I can't help but wish it would've come out (or hurry along in actually releasing... ever).

Yep! I do. The Ico game are some of the few first-party Sony games I enjoy and they are fantastic, so I absolutely do still care about The Last Guardian!

ICO is dated indeed (like MGS1) but not a bad game at all and back then it was beautiful just to look at.

They're just clips of a boy and a giant bird dog. Stop acting like you're excited.
