New details on Team ICO’s The Last Guardian surfaces


Although it’s scant, we were able to grab some new details concerning this highly anticipated title that’ll surely raise the bar to uncharted heights again. In the upcoming September issue of Playstation The Official Magazine, information about the storyline and characters were divulged.
The game being the third from Team ICO, will center on the evolving relationship between a boy and his large mythical creature, (we already knew that), that creature is called “Trico” in the Japanese version. At first the creature will be hostile towards the boy, but as the boy cares for the creature, cleaning it, playing with it and feeding it, that relationship, or bond will grow.
Overtime, the boy will use the creature to solve platforming puzzles, but the creature is alive and acts naturally, as if it were a real animal. Persuading it to do what you need will take patience and guile, not force.
Be sure to pick up the magazine on store shelves everywhere for some more details concerning The Last Guardian. The game will utilize a physics engine, which is a first for the ICO Team, so don’t be surprised if you’re left in awe by the graphics that will be rendered. According to PTOM, even those feathers you see in that image will individually ruffle in the wind.
Just mind blowing is my conclusion on this one, Team ICO has never disappoint; and by the looks of things, The Last Guardian will again be, one for the history books.

Looks fantastic



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

a boy and his .. GIANT blob

Offtopic : wtf happened to a boy and his blob? i was looking forward to it.



Sounds like a the relationship with Agro, but deeper, more involved and more essential to the plot. Color me very interested (not that this wasn't my no.1 anticipated game already, of course)

I'm still iffy about this, even though I loved both ICO and SotC



Great, I also hope we see some giant creatures fighting.



Seems like team Ico likes these relationship games and interaction with another character(Yorda and Agro), this should be similar.



Promissing... Seems Team Ico will release another classic.



This game is very likely going to be awesome, it's sad in a way that so many gamers, just as with Ico and SOTC, will dismiss it due to its mechanics and approach vs a simple shooter or the like.

I, however, intend to bask in this title. I just hope they play fair and allow you to keep the thing alive if you do a good job!

Couldn't agree more. In fact I found the trailer had more honest emotion than some of the crap that pass for films these days.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
