Aside from riding a giant white animal (which was only a third of Never Ending Story) this game and that film HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON!!!

Who cares? Oh wow, a game being similar to something!? NO WAY! This just in: God of War = Clash of the Titans Heavy Rain = Any detective movie/book Alan Wake = Twin Peaks/Secret Window Seriously, a kid and a mythical beast is all? It's one thing. The game could differ vastly from NES for all we know.

That thing is the Never Ending Story is a dragon, not a griffon.

And if you meant that thing in Tha Last Guardian, ok... but still a dragon =/= griffon :roll:

There's no point on arguing with you as you are either blind or just trolling... more likely the latter.

sorry guys but the creature in "The Last Guardian" doesn't appear to fly. It's wings are so small, I wonder if someone destroyed them like they did the horns.

Because he said "blatantly ripped off". I think the comparison is funny. But the Neverending Story isn't the first fairy tale with a child or human and a large mythical creature. I'm positive there's similar folklore in various cultures around the world over the last thousands of years.

I find the comparison hilarious actually. But you nailed it there.

Ok so it does look similar to that movie that doesn't mean the game is not going to be something special and it is not the first game that has features similar to other projects. I don't see how this thread will make people stop getting intersted in this game because of the similarity it has with that movie.

I believe this thread would be cool if it were a lighthearted joke because the comparison is quite funny :). But instead it is as if the TC's aim was to bash Sony and The Last Guardian...

No. Not sweet memories. Movies like The Neverending Story, Dark Crystal, and Labyritnth scared the crap out of me when I was a kid :evil:.

TLG makes me smile :) (even though that thing looks like a bird-rat-dog that can swim like Michael Phelps).

I assume TC never actually saw that movie let alone readthe book upon which it's based....

The essence of grasping at straws can be found here.

If anything, Panzer Dragoon is more similar to the Neverending Story. At least there's an actual dragon in it. With 80's music to boot. :D

That thing in the Last Guardian looks more like a griffon.

i was 6 at the time and the dog thing scared me too. the title "never ending story" scared me too. i was afraid the movie would never end and i would be stuck there watching the kid and his scary flying dog forever.

Good. You guys understand the fear from my childhood (mama tortured us Treal :cry: ). Anyways, TLG looks original and entirely artistic and brilliant fun.

I can understand the comparison, however, all the team ico games are about relationships. In ICO the boy + the girl i.e. having to hold her hand constantly and protect her. In shadow of the colossus the horse, and in The Last Guardian is this mythical creature. It looks even more epic than the last 2 games, but it was a fair assumption. I just don't think that it's "blatantly ripping off" that movie either.

Toriko is a bird-cat. Falkor is a ****ing flying dog dragon.

I don't see any connection whatsoever. There has always been "a boy and his dog" stories for centuries.

Looks loosely based on Falcor...and the boy/beast thing has literally been done throughout the course of centuries. It didn't start with Never Ending Story.
