Why are some people looking forward to The Last Guardian next year?

I really like the concept behind the game and Fumito Ueda's team artstyle and all, but lets not fool ourselves, when was this game confirmed for a 2010 release date for the U.S? This game could very well come out in late 2011 for all we know. Perhaps the Japanese can look forward to the game a little earlier but thats about it, a 2010 date for any region is wishful thinking I believe, based on past experiences this gen, I wont believe that TLG is coming out next year unless of course they prove me wrong releasing the game before DEC 31st, 2010 :P

The only thing I guess is to wait and see. I didn't like the trailer so I won't be interested in the game at all.

That is all we can do is hope. Ico was amazing and Shadow of the C. was an amazing aswell. Like Bdog said, just wait and see.GrandJury

Right back at you ..., uh, shoot, I don't have a nickname for you yet but give me a couple of days to think of one.

I believe em. Team Ico isn't Square Enix. I'm sure they will stay true to their release date and wouldn't have announced it yet if the game wasn't at least 1/3 done.

BELIEVE!

I personally won't mind if it doesn't come next year, cos i want Ueda's team to make the most memorable game of this gen.

But they didn't even give a release date (at least I don't think they did)...

It looks like it will be a cute game!

Even if it didn't come out next year, there are plenty of top titles coming ;)

The first 2 games were great and different. Great value and really was lots of fun.

Team ICO have an "Olympic cycle" where their games are released every 4 years. I think SOTC came out in 2005 or 6.Floppy_Jim

Well, they won't need translation as all the games speak in some fictional language besides both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were released in NA before Japan. Just something to consider;)

the real question is: why not?? they haven't said that it'll be out in 2011 either so we must assume it's gonna be out on 2010. They already showed a substancial amount of footage(unlike MG:Rising :()to make me think that the game's gonna be out late 2010. If not, then it wouldn't be so unusual either, I don't get why you had to post about it, it's not that peculiar.

I agree, I seriously don't think the game will be coming out in the US or Europe in 2010. That, I feel, is very unlikely.

The game's a long ways away but I've already made a speculative outline of the plot. :idea:

*SPOILERS*

Possiblity 1: Boy dies. Sad ending.

Possiblity 2: Griffin-rat-bird thing dies. Sad ending.

Possiblity 3: 'Puff the Magic Dragon' -ish storyline. Sad ending.

cracked me up :P

AAAE. Graphics King and PS3 game of the Year 8), who's awesome?

[QUOTE="Karaam"]the reason is that those who played ICO and Shadow of the Colossus(me included) know what kind of vision Ueda-san has for his games, we know what he wants us to experience just by basing our judgment on his first 2 games. The reason why we are so attached to them is because the games make you feel attached, its the aspect of having different emotions towards elements in his games that makes us excited for it. For example, in ICO, once you rescue the the captive female, you are constantly holding her hand throwout the story. It make you feel attached to the character. The second was about reliying on your Horse Argo to rescue your dead loved one and show you how far you will go to bring her back to life. And The Last Guardian is not different, he glues you to this creature that you have to take care of all while surviving, and being thankful for when it saves you because you are just a weak little boy. Hope that's not too big of a comment for ya. AgentA-Mi6

Well prepare to be owned Mr Bean because I believe the game will definitely be out before Dec 31 2010 :D Now Team Ico's last game came out in 2005 and the PS3 released in 2006, knowing Team Ico they were probably already thinking up ideas for their next game, while also playing around with the PS3 hardware/dev kit in 2006/7. Rumours started circulating about Team Ico's next game in 2007 and I feel they actually started developing the game in early 2008. So by the time it comes out late next year the game would have been in development for 3 years, more then enough to get it finished and polished for release. Saying that I don't want Team Ico to release the game under pressure, I want them to be fully happy with the finished product and I feel a 2010 release is definitely not out of the question.Swift_Boss_A
