Well this brings a smile to my face.

Thanks! I reckon they always will, even off handedly like the way he's inspired The Last of Us and Demon's/Dark Souls - its just a certain touch which is unlike any other in gaming.

Great OT, plus that thread title - ow, my heart.

Gracias amigo.
Nice thread. Can't believe it's here. Was living in a different city when it was announced in 2009, pretty much had a completely different life than I do now.
It's really here.

Congrats! That's a cool little story. Good luck with the new role.

Going to dive into this as soon as I finish FF XV (so in like a month =P). The main complaint I've seen is that cat-bird has a mind of its own, but that's what I'm most interested in. I do a lot of animal training in real life and I'm curious how's well they've programmed the learning and decision making.

No according to DF 1080p mode on pro is the best. But 1800p aint bad and ia still far better than nonpro ps4 at 1080.
1080p on pro you have to force from system settings if you have a 4k set though. There is no in game toggle.

Thank you
it's as the narrative designer so hopefully I can bring a little bit of what I love about Team ICO's games to my work -- it's so surreal being in this OTPatterbits

I always knew I'd see this day. I didn't know when, but it's finally here.

We made it boys and girls ;_______;
Its been a long journey, a long time coming riddled with many emotions. Elation from the projects announcement, anticipation for its long running release and worry from its numerous delays. Mockery for waiting for a game that seemed in the depths of development hell, questioning on if its even worth it, and even been victim to the hands of horrible journalism, but never did we give up our faith and look at where we are now. Its been an honour and delight following this game alongside people who've had such passion for Team ICO, but I'm afraid this is where the journey ends. I'm ready to experience my final Team ICO game.
Let the good times roll.

This kinda stuff is why gaming is so powerful. I'm glad you are getting to play something so important to you.
I myself am looking forward to playing the game when I can afford it. Black Friday sales really did me in, but I'm a huge fan of Ueda so I can't wait.

Can anyone tell me if there are any story connections to ico and shadow of Colossus that lets us know they are in the same world? Simple yes or no would be great thanks!

Getting the collector's tomorrow. One of the few games I've spent more than $100 on for a special edition.
But I consider this pretty special. So there's that.

I feel like this game is important to so many people, it's genuinely amazing that it's finally going to be released - storied development and all, I reckon it's one of the most important games to be released for a long time.

Same boat. Bought the collector's edition day it came up. I've been looking forward to this for so long that just getting my hands on it will be worth it.

New games media is so annoying sometimes. I had to unsubscribe from Gamespot on Youtube because I know they will have 30 videos exploring every part of this game before it is even a day old. Each video with a spoiler-y thumbnail/video title.
I feel like I need to hurry up and play through the game so I won't get spoiled.. (I'm usually not that sensitive, but this is one of those games where I really want to experience it fresh.)

it is the rite of passage of any great devs nowadays. That or GenDesign All Star battle.
In all honestly, It is bittersweet, this release of the last guardian. It will forever be there now in my memories but it also gives this vibe of uncertainty for the future and whatever if Ueda will still make games of the same sort. And will he be able to make it in a bit less time.
I hope this is not his swan song's game in any case. I guess having the last guardian as this "dream game" all this time gave me comfort in a way, but what now ;_;

So many people have worked so hard to get to this day today.... So happy the game is finally out and that it is being well received!

He has spoken about his desire to make more "normal" games, I believe he's talked about making an FPS. I can only imagine what a Ueda would create if designing a shooter. I imagine something like the Thin Red Line in comparison to most war movies out there.

lol I can't imagine doing digital for this and FFXV, after all this time I need to hold them, have a physical representation. Plus the statue is killer.
An fps ? Well that's one I haven't heard. The genre I least expected from him but hey why not. When did he say this tho ? Was it recently ? Might have changed his mind with the recent shifts in gamedev

Just started my playthrough. Its real Gaf
The collective effort it took internally and externally to bring this baby to life was no easy journey, that's for damn sure. Lots of proud devs that contributed to this project in some meaningful way. This getting released warms my freaking heart, seriously.
I'm wishing down the line we get a nice package of all three as remasters/improved. I think this trilogy is too important to pass on and would help some people if they were all further refined to good performance
I will double, triple, quadruple dip. These games need to be playable on whatever the current hardware is.

Love this story. These games always make my imagination fly and i kinda feel like Ueda when he wanted to find a way to make something memorable, and i feel like videogames are the answer. But i don't know where to start. How do you get into game design?
Damn his games are truly inspiring.
Hmm. Was hoping to make use of that extra resolution. I will check out there video thanks.
It was an interview he did a while back, nothing recent. I believe it came out sometime after SotC. He was asked about what other kinds of games he would like to make and he mentions several kinds and if I remember correctly actually makes a bit of a joke about how he'd enjoy making more mainstream games.

Is the game unlocking today @ 9 PM PST on PSN?
Ooh post pics of the statue, I'm interested to see how it compares to the mocks ups.
Still on the fence about this, on one hand I really want it... on the other, I don't know if the quality is worth the price of admission. Any chance you could let me know what Trico is made out of? Is it plastic, polystone, or something else, and is it weighty?
