Am I the only one unimpressed by Last Gaurdian's "art dirrection" It looks very similar to SOTC imo climate wise. The whole premise doesn't sound very exciting either... Why not just give everyone the SOTC2 they want ... Oh they are artists :p

Seriously though I cannot be the only one disappointed by the art dirrection...

I guess now you want evidence that is not subjective well... Team Ico has never made an AAA game and this just looks to similar to their old work to stray from this.

I think your reasoning is very flawed and opinion based.

Hmm I don't know....but maybe the fact that Shadow of the Colossus is known to be one of the best games ever created might be factor into why there is so much hype for the game :|

Because its not like IGN gave Shadow of the Colossus best PS2 game or anything.

Plus i think the art style looks excellent and i believe the game will get AAA scores across the board.

First we have only seen 2 trailers and what's wrong with the art direction the game looks beautiful, and there is a first time for everything meaning it can achieve AAAE score.

Yah, it's one of those games that seem to be immune to criticism.


In fact the only other game similar to it I can think of with that same immunity would be Portal.


inb4 critics come in, and bash Portal or SotC

So because you don't like the art direction, GameSpot won't give it a AAA score? :?

Of course its excellent but its treading familiar ground and Team Ico doesn't seem to be taking strides as a developer but steps. I mean are you going to deny the setting is familiar?

Lemme start off saying Shadow of the Colossus is the best game of all time. Sure, add the IMO in there because it's true, but look at other scores from sites like IGN. 9.7. Best PS2 game of all time? SoTC. 4th best, by the way? ICO. 2nd best game of the past decade? SoTC. All according to IGN. You OBVIOUSLY have not played SoTC (enough) to know the masterpiece it is, and how it doesn't need a sequel. That being said, GOTY 2011 is The Last Guardian.

Personally I think it looks amazing. Seriously, this is made by the studio that created Ico and SOTC, widely recognized as two of the greatest games of all time. These are some of the first games mentioned when the 'are video games art? discussion comes up, and they provoke emotion on a variety of levels that not many games do.

If TLC doesn't receive critical acclaim, it will be because it couldn't meet justifiably massive expectations.

I like Team ICO's art style. Regardless if The Last Guardian gets an AAA score or an AA score, I'm sure I will find the gameplay quite refreshing, enjoyable, and a change of pace from the shooters, racers, and casual party games that I have been surrounded by lately. If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure all of Team ICO's games are connected to each other in some fashion, even if just loosely hence the same "climate" or as I would say, setting...

Oh and this isn't IGN and you do know IGN is owned by Newscorp right?

So just because they are using a similar setting the game cant be good? I for one like that setting and as long as the game complements it and uses the setting correctly i don't see a problem. Its like you are completely ignoring the fact that the game could have different game play mechanics or anything else that makes a game.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 had the same exact setting as the first game but scored a 10/10. What Changed? Mostly the gameplay and they fixed some flaws.

Plus i know this isn't IGN, but its still a fact that they gave Shadow of the Colossus the Best PS2 Game Award... and WTF is Newscorp?

This comment makes no sense because in the OP you stated they should make SoTC2. But would that not be treading on familiar ground? Also, being able to make games with similar settings with totally different game mechanics is better than a sequel in my eyes.

Maybe you are right, maybe it won't be AAA, Team ICO is not known for well polished games, however i couldn't care less, i'm interested in Last Guardian because of the experience it may offer.

Ummm I obviously have like 4-5 months after it was released and played it without a guide and I loved it but the replay value was scarce. I mean I got RE4 for ps2 that christmas and I consider that a far better game then SOTC ( I played RE4 on GC too and it looked like it could be in this gen). SOTC is nowhere near the top Ps2 games on this site and IGN has less merit in system wars than the site your posting on.

I am not saying SOTC isn't a masterpiece its one of my favorite games but I wouldn't call it the best PS2 game and thankfully Gamespot backs up it not being the best Ps2 game.... I cant speak for ICO because I haven't played it yet but I heard it had similarities with SOTC's visuals.

I just find it funny that the great "artists" are recycling the art style for Last Gaurdian rather than exploring new vistas and I really don't think the game will be very replayable.

Also I am skeptical of the whole premise of battling on a monster with a little boy as this could make the story cheesy and the gameplay shorter.

Another Shadow of the Colossus? Jesus Christ people...

Yes I get it, the game made a very good impression on a lot of people, but why does everyone need to have a sequel on everything they enjoy in this industry?

Let a game be good and let it end as such without turning it into a franchise.

You know what, I would only hope more teams followed that "Oh they are artists" mentality you're talking about TC. It would make the industry a lot more interesting.

They've done great with both ICO and SotC, does that mean that we have an assured hit with Last Guardian? No, not at all. On the other hand, it does mean that they've proved themselves to be talented developers certainly capable of creating an experience just as good, if not better than their last game. So yes, I'll gadly give Team ICO the benefit of the doubt.

The Last Guardian will not have an online MP and it'll have a very very very short campaign, that's a given. I bet that it'll be shorter than Heavenly Sword or Vanquish and because of that I'd be surprise if the game gets a score above A but I'm pretty sure that the game will be unique and fun and that's what most of the fans of the series are expecting.

Wait Vanquish is like 4-5 hours, and by saying TLG maybe will be shorter you're saying it's going to be 3 hours? heavenly sword was 7 hours btw.

This game could get a 2.5 here and I'd still buy it, like you said, they're artists. Artists who've produce two of my all time favorite video games, (and that's a long list of games, mind you). I hope you're wrong but I could see it getting a 7 just as easily as I could a 9 here. I guess I kinda agree with you...hmm...I didn't expect that.getyeryayasout
I agree, I can see GS screwing it over with a low 8, with AAA status everywhere else on Metacritic...

Oh and this isn't IGN and you do know IGN is owned by Newscorp right?

and gamespot is owned by National Amusements (who also owns viacom and cbs etc,)... so what?
