I think that's pretty much a given.

Personally,  I think we need to see more gameplay before we see how this game will be like. The fact it hasn't shown us combat (meaning there probably isn't any) and that the graphics shown aren't much better than the 2009 demo isn't impressing me. And the fact people are WAY overhyping this game to the limits, meaning they're probably just trying to make themselves disappointed at launch. I'm not saying its going to be a bad game, I'm just saying we need to see more before we can actually tell which audience this will cater to, and to see what to expect from this game.

Well to be perfectly fair I highly doubt there will be too much combat in the game. It is first and foremost a puzzle platformer, and I do not think that too much light will be shone on the combat unless the it is incorporated into the puzzle somehow (RE: Ico's shadow fights). You are right that it is getting a lot of attention for what it is; coming from a studio that creates minimilistic, artful games that do not have as much widespread appeal as other games would. It will cater to the same audience that the other's did; myself included in that group.

Wow is this a joke you delayed the damn game so long lot of people forgot about it, or dont care and now it's gamer that have to step up lol.


I don't think anyone forgot about it or stopped caring, at least, not those who cared about it in the first place.

That seems like quite the feat to accomplish.

I think TLG sales will still do very well.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I don't think that is a good enough reason, honestly. I also have a bit of a doubt it will sell consoles like others claim, but  we'll have to see.


agreed on it most likely not being a console seller, but I think it can sell console to a very specific audience. 

 

disagreed on saying it being from Team Ico is not enough reason for ppl to excited about it. I think that plays a very big part in its appeal.

I def think it will sell well to a specific audience too. It is a game many people have been waiting a long time for it, and are really glad to see it finally coming out.

I would like to know what it is people are so excited about TLG. Is it something people are expecting there to be since it is from Team Ico? What are are people expecting?

 

I suppose that can only be answerd if you have played the games.

Ico and SotC are both very unique experiences. While there have been similar games to Ico, I dont think any game blends the elements of both these games, hence their uniqueness.

Another very powerful draw of Team Ico games is lore. Ico and SotC are not connected directly, but the deeper you look into what happens in the story (as minimalistic as they can be) and the actual enviornment ques, you realise that in just 2 very self-contained games, that a much larger world exists.

I would say that plays a large appeal in Team Ico's games, much like how the MGS universe is expanded (albeit for different reasons).  ppl want to see how the lore expands, and how the game fits in with wit both Ico and SotC (even though everyone knows there will be nothing concrete) And, TLG looks like the algamation of both Ico and SoTC in terms of gameplay.

I doubt it will have mainstream appeal but that really depends on the marketting campaign for it. 

Haha, it does sound like I would need to play the previous games to get why people are looking forward to TLG. I guess I`ll need to get around to playing those some time.

It would be a sad thing because the whole line of Ico games are in the Smithsonian as works of art. If a third were to be added then it just goes to show that sometimes you just have to give the people more guns and less creativity.
