So even though the game is clearly going for an art-style not meant to resemble reality, hopefully the amount of time and detail put into the project translates well into a game of incredible looking environments worthy of waiting for a whole new game system to come out. But logically a new system should allow for all aspects of the game to see a boost in quality. Apparently it was only very late in the development cycle that Team Ico finally became satisfied with how the creature looked and moved, so perhaps the PS3 just didn’t have the hardware to allow him to appear as detailed and move as fluidly as they desired. The most apparent source for a need in more power would presumably be Trico. And it’s a question Team Ico is going to have to answer, because, as demos for the game become more available, there’s only going to be more side-by-side comparisons with the Playstation 3 build to try and determine what was changed. Because it has now been postponed onto the next generation of consoles, obviously a lot of people are going to be asking what was so demanding about this game that it couldn’t run on the previous generation’s systems. Most people are well aware that the original Last Guardian was actually scheduled to be a Playstation 3 game. We don’t know what the game’s soundtrack will sound like as a whole for a few more months, but if it’s anything like Team Ico’s previous games, it’ll be something to remember. It’s pretty incredible how well Team Ico is able to use the language of music to tell a story all on its own. In the game’s debut trailer from years ago, the early moments of us seeing the boy and Trico interact are accompanied by soft instruments conveying the innocent wonder of these two crossing paths. Thus far, we’ve only heard the trailer music for The Last Guardian, but it already feels like it will capture the emotion of what’s transpiring on-screen. Team Ico’s soundtrack is perfect for capturing the thrill and danger of finally getting a chance to attempt and maybe fail at something you’ve always been waiting for, or the subdued melancholy of a lonely silence. If you know anyone who doesn’t play games and who assumes the music is all just tinny beeps and boops, just put on the intro to Shadow of the Colossus to catch them up on how far things have advanced. If you ask for people’s favorite video game soundtrack, the score to Shadow of the Colossus is one that will inevitably be mentioned somewhere along the line. We definitely want moments of excitement mixed in as well, but this is a game we’re going into more for the slow satisfaction of finally solving a difficult challenge. While Braid had the gimmick of solving puzzles using time manipulation, obviously it’s the creature known as Trico who will be the key to solving many of the dilemmas we encounter in The Last Guardian. But it’s a pretty safe bet the game will have more in common with Braid than The Witcher. Obviously showing a player slowly pondering the best way to solve a puzzle wouldn’t be the most gripping trailer, so we’ve primarily seen a lot of action scenes in The Last Guardian. Executing your plan without getting killed was only really a concern towards the last third of the game. A big part of the difficulty in Shadow of the Colossus was just figuring out how to hurt each colossus and the most efficient way to do so. People already posted my gifs, but really in motion this thing is absolutely outstanding.This is really the most basic request you could expect since, despite how exciting Team Ico’s games can be, they are puzzle games at heart. The game also has better lighting, shadowing and is using SSAO. It's a much more accomplished character model. Trico has many more feathers, all of them animate, has more whiskers, more fur. And the framerate was sped up in these trailers, by all accounts in ran terribly, and you can see that in the videos that came with the ICO/SotC collection.Īnd three, obviously both versions of the game resemble each other since they're still the same game and share the same aesthetic and art design, but it's not just performance and image quality upgrades that are in play here. Super fuzzy, dirty, blurry, horribly jagged shadows and vegetation, used dithering instead of true transparencies. Two, people should take a look at how the game looked like on the PS3 back in 2010. Game looks absolutely gorgeous, streaming quality doesn't do it justice. One, people should download the high quality video from Gameryside.
