Because Shu wants the honour.
This has gone gold, as soon as ffxv goes gold maaaan the feels
Didn't XV gone gold already?
I think it went into approval, next step is gold but yeah basically the game is finished as well.
This one is important:
We've seen many videos now, and Toriko acts exactly like that in Ueda's vision.
I wonder how many reviewers will consider it an "AI flaw" and lower the score, because of it.

I feel like most reviewers won't "get it". This game will be a masterpiece.
Expect it. In the modern world of twitch shooters, on demand everything, blistering connection speeds and fast life styles who has time for an unresponsive half cat half bird?
ME.
No Love for mine? ;-(

Calming expectations for a game that's been in development for 9 years.

People might just not like the random factor. You can explain it all you want with the unpredictability of an untamed beast, if it makes the puzzles annoying or confusing you might not like it, even if you get it.
I read a preview from Gamekult, the guy said that sometimes he had no idea if he had to wait for Trico to do something or if he had to it himself. And even if it worked after some time, he still didn't know how it happened, what triggered the progression.
I can see how that could become infuriating for a game like this. Even if you understand the idea behind it.

Team ICO is not a studio. It is basically a project team build by Ueda to make games. They all work under Sony Studios Japan. Yes, TLG was announced a long time ago, but it hasn't been in active development, so your statement is wrong.
Ueda has parted from Sony and has his own company nowadays.

You say that like they scraped everything they had and started over.
And you know what I mean
I understand why it would be frustrating for many, but to me I only see the beauty of it.
That's the point though. Normally when a game is in development this long it means that something was wrong fundamentally and they had to change their original vision. That is not the case with TLG. It is same game that they envisioned. It's just that PS3 could not run it.
He might have been fine with it running at less than 20fps. I am glad that Shu and Sony weren't.

Your assuming that was the case
No. Shu flat out said so. What Ueda is saying is that he was fine with whatever he was achieving with PS3. There is no contradiction. Ueda was also fine with Shadow of Colossus's performance on PS2.

Going to need a source on that fames issue

tbh even the PS4 has some frame rates issues still. I can only imagine how bad they were on the PS3.

THE FRAMES ISSUE!
I think a lot of people were fine with, "The Frames Issue." It actually worked in favor for the game in a really weird way lol.

The graphics have been greatly improved (it is not like it is a ps3 port on ps4) so it is hard to compare...

No way will it be that low. I predict between 80-89.

Everything under 10 is not acceptable and should be banned on GAF.

Was in NYC last week for work and saw a bus ad for Last Guardian. So surreal.
Or the game might not be that great, considering how long it's been in development.

There's going to be a aspect of bias against this game taking so long to come out. Not bothered about the review score but hope i can find the game enjoyable.
That tweet literally had me laughing out loud. Is Sony's CEO seriously such a ballsy funny man?
I like that.

The ICO & SotC HD Collection is still one the highest scored remasters to ever be released, and it didn't come out that long ago. As long as the game isn't fundamentally flawed in some way, like broken controls or something, then it should do relatively well with the press. I do think that elevated expectations due to its protracted development will mean it won't be received quite as favourably as the previous two Team ICO games though.

Ah too bad. I don't understand the deleting of the tweet then.
Anyway: fuck yeah, Last Guardian. Gameplay wise I don't expect it's quite up to date. But I do expect some serious feels and AI complexity when it comes to the animal.
