Wow.... well done haha
What's the original material from?
Wow.... well done haha
I think I'm done with IGN.
There is actually very little to laugh about.
*blink*
What happened to the answers of the poll?
I always got the feeling it was just a fancy level transition cutscene basically. For example, the scene with him riding Trico underwater, I would be very surprised if you're controlling that at all, and that it's not just a way to move you from one area to another.I believe that you switch between them. The boy has to feed the catbird with barrels of food and traverse the area like Ico did. The catbird seems to follow him if possible. Once the boy gets (similar climbing mechanic like Wanda) on the catbird you control the catbird and can reach areas that the boy couldn't. When you switch back to the boy you can climb of or up if the catbirds head is near a platform or similar. Well that's what I get from the video.
The trailers don't really show Trico moving through the environment like Yorda did, it seems like it mostly stays in place while you're clearing areas and using switches or whatever.

It's over, period. IGN lost their last ace, and that's the end of their hopes and dreams.
It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for IGN. IGN has nothing left, nothing they can revise/retitle after e3 tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively visit IGN. Except if they want to believe the hype. Which will also come to Polygon at some point.
IGN Russia took the last reason away that anyone would NEED to visit IGN over polygon (except to induce a Pavlovian adrenaline-rush response), and the cavalcade of tiny "FIRST" reveals that will be nice but won't stir up any clicks is not going to salvage the bloated, overdesigned behemoth that was TLG cancellation article.
There may be some hardcore gamer's that stick around. Some did it for Gamespot. But the last bell tolled. Maybe next decade.
The age of IGN is done.
EDIT: was probably beaten to this by a mile but still

I'm all for TLG being cancelled/dying. They've been "working" on it so long and we've seen like, 2 trailers right? And No gameplay? All we know is it was about a boy and his gryphon/flying dog and they had to work together to traverse the world/solve puzzles etc. And one of them probably dies at the end/towards the end and you have a section without one of them to hammer in how much they needed each other.
It'd have been cool if it came out and I love Ico and SotC but I'm fine with this game being dead.
I get kinda pissed off when sites like DualShockers build large audiences by posting bullshit E3 lists and publishing articles about everything thuway tweets. But I know that IGN knows better than to sacrifice credibility for one article, so I feel like there must be more to this story.
Oh my Shu retweets... If anyone had doubt's at all, this answers it.
Trico is entirely AI. That was going to be the biggest challenge for them because they wanted to make him like a real animal. Which meant that he wouldn't always obey what the kid wanted him to do. They actually did demo it to journalist at one point and it took several times for the bird to even attempt to perform a certain action and Ueda said something along the lines of "He usually doesn't take this long to obey an order". So finding a balance between avoiding player frustration and realism was going to be key.

Yes! Would've been awesome.That would have been a perfect Jack Tretton moment. "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet folks."
Of course Tretton is not there anymore so that's doubly not happening.
But the game never showed him in areas large enough to warrant controlling him. The scenes of the boy on Trico are like Trico climbing a huge thin wall only big enough for him, so it'd be just pushing up on the stick. The swimming bit is similarly small.Well that would be cheap and I doubt that Fueda would be so lazy.
Remember how hard it was to control Agro or Dormin, I guess it is similarly hard to control the catbird.
I don't understand why some would ban IGN after this. They presumably received info and reported it. That's about it...
They won'tHoly shit, just seeing this now. Sony, please, please show TLG now at E3. You have to!

Makes sense. Was there any information about how the boy tells the catbird what to do?
"Officially" cancelled needs to be "official". Not just some rumour from an untrusted source. It's journalism 101I don't understand why some would ban IGN after this. They presumably received info and reported it. That's about it...
I know. So what happens if they don't show it at E3 or talk about it, are we supposed to laugh then?

It's true D:Its the same as with FF15. We will ***** about it not being shown for a short period of time, look up the next most likely date (i.e. TGS) and appropriately hype ourselves for maybe nothing again.

Should have tried to confirm it first. And shouldn't be stating the info is "official".
Edit - although I don't necessarily think they should be banned, unless they dig their heels in and act like they are not wrong for doing it.

You throw barrels around too as the bird thing eats themI don't think so. I'd imagine that it'd be similar to Yorda in the sense that standing in certain positions would cause them to do a specific action.
I think you underestimate The Last Guardian... Hype levels will be huge! People have been waiting for this for years.the funny thing is that this thread got more replies more than what the last guardian will actually get when its finally announced lol
Maybe Sony uncancelled The Last Guardian out of pure spite after IGN posted the article.
How is it official when the headline reads The Last Guardian May Be Cancelled? Obviously they have sources and those sources are not always correct. Either way it's good news IMO because it just adds extra pressure on Sony to say something about it. Don't we deserve some kind of real official update from Sony instead of saying they laugh at this rumor?
