JEMC said: Only 2 more days! @The Last Guardian_ I have the feeling that the game will leave many people disappointed. A far too long development, the news that some of the people involved have/will leave, the high expectations that some have. It's almost like Duke Nukem Forever: or it turns out to be a masterpiece or many will call it a failure (even if it ends up being a good game). |
Ico and Shadow of the Collosus likely caught everyone off guard. People's imaginations are likely running amok, to the extent there is no way The Last Guardian is going to live up to the hype in the mind. Looking back, Journey and Flower will possibly be seen as this generation's Ico and Shadow of the Collosus.
Bad part of the hype is that it drags itself into the console wars, where they hype becomes something people think will make a difference in console sales. Moment a title does that, it ends up no longer being evaluated on its own merits.
