Sony: The Last Guardian needs to sell better than Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus

Have you played ICO? Or shadow of the collosus? 

 

If you have, and enjoyed those games, then the pacing of TLG would seem just fine and perfect to you. Especially compared to ICO. 

No, I have not. PS4 is the first Sony console I have ever owned. I'll check them out on YouTube, I see a lot of people talking about them, but I know nothing about. I guess it is similar to what was shown the other week.

Puzzle adventure games aren't very well suited to you tube viewing. You'll get an idea what it looks like and maybe bits of the story, yet the emtional connection and internal struggle of the characters, ie the magic of the games, will be lost. That's probably also why the reactions to the trailer are quite different from those that have played and enjoyed ICO and SotC to those that see it out of context.

This is one case where the lack of BC really hurts. The HD collection is awesome, yet only available on ps3 :(
I would buy it again in a heartbeat for ps4, yet I doubt Sony is willing to risk the backlash for another remaster.
