The Last Guardian Is Team Ico’s Latest

@kiddoblivion: But we don't actually know that it will play like ICO. The setting may be similar, but I have a feeling that the mechanic will be very different.

Judging by the trailer, the creature has a much more proactive role than Yorda ever did. It also looks like we might not necessarily control it, but that it's more like an autonomous companion controlled by script events and AI.

I too have a feeling that most of us will be in tears by the ending.

Tobyasd

@fauxbravo: It's like going into an all-male a crowd in San Fransisco and saying "You should all sleep with women, it will solve your problems."

So it's basically the first game again but Yorda is now a giant rat griffin thing. I'm a bit disappointed because it's so similar to the first one (little boy + companion explores enormous castle ruins). Just look at how different SOTC was from ICO ...well, in terms of gameplay at least.

@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...:

I think it's coming out on Flag Day.

Squirrelbot3000

@Savoryy:

I prefer he be the new Agro.

But yes, the entire trailer was already tugging at the jaded heartstrings. If it plays anything like Colossus, I'm in first day. And usually only Castlevania 2D plats and anything Metal Gear can get me to fork out that kind of cash.

Squirrelbot3000

@torrseph: The Halo games and Crackdown 2 are the only actual exclusives on your list. Those map packs for MW2 aren't even proper exclusives, only timed.

Personally I thought all three companies made great showings this year. It's been a great E3 this year, especially if you pretend EA and (especially) Ubisoft didn't have conferences at all!

Hopefully, since they all announced shit like Natal, Dual Wand and Vitality Sensor this year, it will be nothing but games next year!

@ottothecat2008: But I don't want that big guy to die.

@sweetie55: I think you'll see the price drop before Xmas 09. But I wouldn't expect but maybe $50. I still think even at $399 it's a bargain with BluRay, Wifi and easily upgradable HDD.

Amazon has a good deal going now, $389, and a free extra controller. That and an HDMI cable for $4.00 and your set for the best gaming this generation.

Also watch Slickdeals.net for when Dell has PS3's on sale. One of their recent deals was the Uncharted PS3 bundle, with 160GB HDD for $371.

You could also look at picking up a used PS3?

@lordofsword: They probably will, they love Ko Otani

Kougeru Matsuoka

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: No one has mentioned it, the griffon seems to have 2 little horns, one of which looks broken?

Probably nothing...

Mikatro

@Ninja Tree: took awhile, but here it is:
[link.brightcove.com]

all I have to say is Holy Shit.

I mean, who would a put an arrow in a creature like that? WHY!?

tnmnsquare

When I was a child I avoided reading " Of Mice and Men" or seeing "Old Yeller" or " Where the Red Fern Grows". I am going to avoid this game for the exact same reason, the world is simply too unjust. That monster is a mix of every sympathetic expression a pet can make, time one thousand! NO EFFIN WAY!

tnmnsquare

@jedbeetle: Well, the only person who dies is Dormin, but I don't really count that. If Dormin isn't who you are thinking about, then you need to watch until the end of the credits. It's the most important part of the story.

@Bialia:
Well said.
I got the same feeling watching Milo, but that sprung from "what-if" thoughts. What if this gets to the point where Milo reacts to you on his own, no need for scripted employee banter.
The difference here is that The Last Guardian is real. It's going to be dropping soon. Can't wait.

Me and my brother on this trailer:

"I call it a Chicken Puppy"

"Actually I think it's a griffin"

"Well, I call it a chicken puppy"

"Look, it has wings"

"It looks like a chicken, and it look likes a puppy"

"I still think it's a griffin"

"IT'S A CHICKEN PUPPY"

@konexile: Yeah, sending the 360 to texas for repairs every few months totally outweighs the extra 100$ with more hardware and options included. I loved waiting 3 weeks for a refurbished 360 to come back each time.

@BigMoose is a big moose: no one dies in sotc? hmm. i might have misunderstood the ending then.

jedbeetle

@BarbeQueQ: Because HD TVs are optional, you're not going to buy this?

Your logic is infallible.

@TitillatedOcelot: that kind of doesn't make sense, if you know what the colossi actually were.

jedbeetle

@Savoryy: and then it goeseth down once more only to riseth again whether we liketh it or noth.

jedbeetle

@elmarko: sling your bananas?

jedbeetle

It's a dog...it's a chicken...it's a...KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!!!!

Islandkiwi

Looks like a Team Ico game alright. Huge, impressive areas, surreal character designs and atmosphere, and lots of very bloomy whites.

The big animal thingie is really trippy.

Kiyosuki

@torrseph: If I can play Left 4 Dead 2 on something other than an Xbox 360, than it's multiplatform.

@patapon: When WE do it, we call it making LOVE.

Stunning and beautiful. All I have to say.

Josh Tate

@Savoryy:

I couldn't get Never Ending Story out of my head through the entire trailer.

fenex13

@MellowJade: Ssssh, dont talk that blasphemy. Kratos may be listening, heard he scours the internet looking for noobs to devour.

@torrseph:

I actually came away most excited after the MS conference personally, probably mostly due to the L4D2 trailer coming out of nowhere.

I missed the beginning of the sony conference and so I also missed the Uncharted footage (probably would have had a higher opinion of the conference if I'd seen that)
Overall it was too much PSP and not enough PS3 for my taste, even though I own a PSP I was a little bored. GoW3 is the only thing that really interested me other than the promise of a Rockstar exclusive.

As for Nintendo..well..new Mario and Metroid games are great news, but no new IP announcements means not much interest from me. Sure I'll be picking up both Mario games and Metroid but I'm just so tired of Nintendo recycling franchises, whether they are great games or not. How about a new IP that really takes advantage of that motion controller?

So I guess I'd rate MS first, Sony second, and Nintendo third.

Just for reference sake, I own all three consoles so I don't really have any bias toward one of them, this is just my opinion on what I saw and how I walked away feeling after each conference. Take from it what you will.

fenex13

Well, I've been pretty pleased with E3 so far, with great games to look forward to.

God of War III will of course be big, loud & bloody, with all the subtlety of a brick to the head - I'll love it.

Metal Gear Rising will be as infuriating, overblown & pompous as the others - and I'll love every minute.

Alan Wake will... well, hopefully just be released in my lifetime, and I'll love it.

It's this game, though, that REALLY stands out for me. I came to Ico & SotC late but loved playing them both probably more than any other game on any other platform.
If this is delivers on the promise of the trailer - and given the pedigree of the studio, this shouldn't be a concern - then I'm going to be one very happy man.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to place this game. I'm 90% sure the giant creature is going to die and then I'm going to get all fucking mopey about it.

Devenu

Microsoft only had multiplatforms? I thought that exact same thing about sony to be honest. What about Mass effect 2, Splinter cell, halo odst/reach, left 4 dead 2, crackdown 2 and even some exclusive map packs for modern warfare 2. The only thing that stood in my mind for me with sony's conference were God of War and Uncharted 2. I do own both consoles before anyone says anything about being a fanboy, and i love them both equally.

torrseph

@Pyccko: I hope they get Kow Otani back to do the music. Although I liked the fact that the parts where you're exploring were in total silence and the SotC music might be too over-the-top for the way this game looks, it's still one of my favourite ever soundtracks.

lordofsword

@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: Yea, fuck people who try to give friendly advice. The world is better off without them.

@Striderhayasa - Can we get some damn m/kb support?!: Maaan, I wish I sat on that amount of money. Well, I do, but it's going towards savings

..very good. Can anyone with access please worm out of Ueada or anyone from ICO whether any of this is pre- renders, or targets for the actual game - or if it's perhaps a mix of physics simulation and hand- animation?

How good are Team Ico's games?

Ico has been stolen from me:
3 times

Shadow of the Colossus:
2 times.

I never leave them out unattended anymore. Hah, who am I kidding? I don't even throw parties anymore.

@jikon: Î noted the arrows also, I´m now curios about it

OrtenseDemophon

@torrseph: I totally disagree.

Sony had the best conference. Exclusives and great games across all three platforms...PS3, PSN and PSP.

MS came in second barely beating out Nintendo

Nintendo was a big disappointment for me overall.

No F-Zero, No Kid Icarus, No Zelda, No new IPs...

Team Ninja powered Metroid rocked my socks though and Golden Sun on DS is a Megaton, Mario Galaxy 2 is cool but for a second I swore I was looking at the original.

@KylenX: True, I'm glad you reminded me of Black Friday. Completely forgot!

@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: better to save the dough and get a 1080p set. Just saw a Vizio 32inch 1080p set for $550.

I scored a 37inch 1080p set for $800. frontlit, 6500-1 contrast ratio gorgeous screen. Get that and a 5.1 surround sound system and you're golden.

"The creature dies!" "The kid dies!"

Didn't any of you play Ico and SotC? At the end, one of them will sacrifice theirself to save the other. And then after the credits, you'll find out that they managed to survive somehow after all.

C'mon people, this is basic Team Ico Storytelling 101 here. =P

Druffmaul

@Savoryy: The moment where he dives into the water and you can see a bunch of arrows and stuff stuck to his body.. that makes me wonder if stuff like that that happens in game carries on. And yes, this is preorder material.

Jilkon

@BarbeQueQ: I don't have a HD TV and have not been dissapointed with my PS3 yet.

I also have a wii and yeah.... I won't say anything more.

@Korey: The guardian will die, but then be brought back to life by the kid's love, and they'll ride triumphantly to soaring finale music.

Mark my words.

gaijira

Screen shows looks way better than leaked footage.

Rinaldus

@Trygle12 is FREE!... and waiting for Disgaea 2:

Still no HDTV, huh? Damn, I thought I was the last person to get one. And that was about 18 months ago. =P

Druffmaul

Hee hee hee, Chicken Dog!

But seriously, do want.

Honestly moved by the trailer alone. Please offer me a Special Collector's Best Of Edition so I can give you MORE money.

Best Game of E3?

Gam3r

@sweetie55: Hopefully for you, maybe you will get that price drop by the time Last Guardian comes out. :)

@bakagaijin: that one, some one linked it somewhere.

@KylenX: Man, it's a good thing everyone in the world celebrates the same holidays as the U.S.

...Oh, wait

Nice! SotC is in my top five off all time list!

@FP_slomo788: How does half a show of Wii fit plus/wii resort make a good conference? Nintendo pleased the hardcores, but they did it in such a way to clearly show that their focus is on those "maybes? and Never-gamers" right now. As for MS, I agree they were a bit short in the games area, but what they did bring was surprising and spectacular (besides the tiny rumours, did anyone actually see L4D2 coming?)

Nintendo - 6.5
Microsoft - 7.5
Sony - 8.5

That's my E3 ratings.

@torrseph: Do yourself a favour and go play them, especially shadow of the colossus. Deff worth going back to.

touchmypenguinagain

I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!

Seriously. This is one of most gorgeous things I have ever seen in a long time.

@MaxDragon7: If you guys want a TV, I'd wait until the next black friday... BEST time to get a tv, but the only problem about that is that you have to wake up at the asscrack of dawn just to get dibs on the tv you want.

@Trygle12 is FREE!... and waiting for Disgaea 2: Well, when I saw the trailer today I did splurge on my PS3

kingdong6

@Alex_Mexico: So many tears for such a short video.

The designs and just about everything else look completely fantastic.

Ueda is a man whose sole mission is to make every gamer cry at the end of every game he makes. The emotional connection I felt with just the four minute trailer will probably pale in comparison to how attached I get to the characters when actually playing the game. It looks beautifully moving.

The sad thing is that you can be sure someone will die...either the kid or the baby gryphon.

:\

I really wish I wouldn't have seen the trailer from a few weeks ago, it didn't make this one nearly as exciting, and it was twice as good.. I can't wait.. I will try and rob a delivery truck or something just to get it early, jk of course... or am I? time will tell

@BubbleF**kingBuddy:

I doubt it. The Ico games are very unpredictable. Nobody even died in SotC, why would someone die in this one?

My predictions are that the game takes place before SotC (same land as SotC, just at it's peak when people inhabited the land). I think that the griffin-creature is killed by the people that originally captured him (I agree with MaxDragon7 that the kid freed him), causing the kid to become enraged. The kid goes on a mad killing spree, killing possibly everybody in that land except for a few survivors. He then becomes Dormin, but it still doesn't tell the story of how Dormin was captured.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: *SPOILER ALERT* The kid and the creature have sex and move into a 2-bedroom studio apartment.

@Ninja Tree: You would have to watch the Sony presser. How the hell would I have a link? lol. It was just shown a few hours ago.

@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: ...Produce such a magnificent world
That's what I think I wrote

@Savoryy: I would say gamewise, this IS the best thing to come out of E3

Spoiler alert: the monster's going to die.

@TitillatedOcelot:

Ueda moves you.

its unfair to put any game of any genre next to an Ueda game. that said, i cant wait to feast on GoW3.

@TitillatedOcelot: i was thinking that maybe the boy and / or the critter become dormin :P

fortelv999

I'm just glad they showed a teaser. It's been too many a E3, left with not the faintest whisper of what Team Ico is up to, when everyone was expecting a teaser to surface. aka TricoBlueballus...

@TitillatedOcelot: ooh i like this one.. i also love all analogies of the cat-bird-dog.

@Bialia: Yes I already thought so when watching the trailer.

klo8

@ottothecat2008: Honestly I couldn't get my head around it a lot of the time either. My brain is not entirely convinced some parts aren't FMV, but my heart totally is.

Ladi

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I would think that the creature is either a freed creature (probably previously chained up in some way), vowing to protect the kid (probably after being freed by him, but the kid ran away with fear), or a human turned into a creature.

I would most likely go with freed creature because most of the time, when humans transform into creatures (it does happen, right?), they don't become a hybrid variation. Just look at popular kids Tv shows...

@Takamofo:
yes it has been show before but what we saw today had completely revamped graphics and a tiny bit of new footage. i want it, now.

Henry Leatham

@bakagaijin: give us a link then?

@Takamofo:

Yeah it was noticeably different in terms of some aspects of the Guardian's design, and there was actual gameplay footage in the new one.

woons

It is a beautiful game, no doubt.

I just can't get over the fact that the main character looks so copy-and-pasted into this game.

He looks just like he's been taken from Ico (without updated graphics) and put into HOLY-FUCK-I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-TEAM-ICO-CAN-P...

@ottothecat2008: Oh wow. This.. wow. I can't wait.

klo8

@Ladi:
I honestly think the creature looks too good to be real time.. but i know it has to be and that confuses me.

ottothecat2008

@NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: E3 is done for me. I could care less about anything else after seeing the new trailer, short of Valve announcing Episode 3/Portal 2. And even that would rank a distant second.

Sir-Lucius

@ottothecat2008: Much love to you for that.

Ladi

@BarbeQueQ: True. HDtv's are annoying at best, only because of the pricing.
I can't think of any other reason to not get one now though, seeing that all these games are coming out. It's best to either wait until prices fall, or get one now at a cheap price.

@Dr. Tobias Funke (analrapist): It did look a little cell shaded at times but I don't think that was what they're going for. Whatever it is, I think it looks great. I hope it will center around flying on that griffon thing. He will be the new Arro.

I may just buy a PS3 for this game. But not before the PS3 is < $300.

@Bialia: Same thing for me.
This game will dry my eyes 'til there's nothing more in them.

@patapon:

Would screw be a better word?

Still Last Guardian looks like flowers and candy pretty compare to the dark gloom fest that is God of War 3.

Then again Shadow of The Colossus was a gloom fest too.

@konexile: Don't worry, we've got sponge.

@Goldwings: Has no idea why his avatar is a smiling sun: LOL 2919. I laughed when he said that. Oh Brian...

@bakagaijin: It's a more recent version of the leaked footage. That was old. This one looked more beautiful and had more content.

Narishma

@Pikachu Mariachi: Will electrify your piñata.: Oh noes, so his son has a dog, that means his son was cell shaded and transplanted into this game? WTF I am so confused now. All I can think about is Orange.. lol

Talryyn

Mission "Stop Calling It Trico"... commence !

Only Heavy Rain and maybe BG&E2 could have matched the excitement I feel for this game, and since neither was shown...

I imagine TGS will be chock-full of info on the game. I'd love to hear Ueda talk about it - and, in particular, about the connection to Ico and Colossus.

Oh, LATEST! I thought it said LAST! Boy, that'd be horrible.

@TitillatedOcelot: Oh I like that idea.

@Krytha: The red one that enemies infected with poor AI hide behind?

[www.penny-arcade.com]

@BarbeQueQ: A cheap 32'' television is well worth the money. I was a bit afraid about spending money on one, but once I did, I haven't regretted it since. Not for a second.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Umm, hate to burst your bubble but you need to look up what 'caucasian' means.

@Trygle12 is FREE!... and waiting for Disgaea 2: Still tap it.

Yeah, I kid.

@Spenze: Don't you know? His virtual son HAS a dog... so yeah, He must be really jealous right now.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Ok, now for MY money-maker:

I think the critter is a baby colossus.

@Radz: If Ico and SotC were any indication, this experience right here is gonna be profound. Not even kidding. It looks absolutely gorgeous.

Bialia

@Talryyn: And in retaliation Petey Molyneux quickly acquires the license to Clifford!

TAKE THAT!

Well with no signs of a price drop, I begrudgingly start to save up for a PS3...this game is right up my alley.

sweetie55

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: could do stand-up? from the johnson comment it sounds like you already did

@Nightshift Nurse: This IS the leaked footage. This is all old stuff. The new footage is much better, and shows actual fighting gameplay. Quite amazing, really.

@MellowJade: Although I am looking forward to GOW 3, I also want this one a lot more. The ICO games hit me on a whole other level.

@MellowJade: D:

Did you actually say fuck GoW 3?!?

@Talryyn: He's off to make a virtual son now. Dogs are so last year.

Spenze

@NeVeRMoRe666: No, sounds about right. To be honest, everyone did much better than expected, especially Nintendo.

The only problem with MS is that most of the games shown are multiplats or coming next year. Sony can afford to do it, because they have a steady flow of exclusive releases for the rest of the year, and they've already had two blockbusters this year.

@konexile: Yeah, splurging all over that shiny shiny finish? As a rule I only splurge on cheap consoles I pick up in bars and/or on street corners.

As soon as it turned out the large creature wasn't going to eat him, and the music started playing... I got all fuzzy. :')

Now I really want a PS3.

Radz

@FP_slomo788: I second that. MS had the natal thing, but i think that's overrated. Sony showed it's beefed up exclusives and Nintendo had some Mario whoring out (albeit a good thing - I really liked Mario Galaxy) Overall, good E3, but I think Sony actually came out on top...

@konexile: Good one.

ThisUserNameIsTooLong

This was the best thing shown by Sony in my opinion, next to God of War 3, the customizable racing game whose name I already forgot, and Metal Gear Solid PeaceWalker.

@bakagaijin: I think the bird/rat will eat the kid

@Se7enthSamurai: That's the first thing it reminded me of, the Never Ending Story. The kid climbed on his back and away they went!

@torrseph: sony conference just blew my mind, I honestly didn't expect uncharted 2 and GoW3 to look that sick :D and the remote thingy, wasn't that thing unbelievably precise or was it just me?:/

Ricardo Freitas

@Trygle12 is FREE!... and waiting for Disgaea 2: It's not the PS3's price that is keeping me from buying it. It's that I'll need hdtv as well to fully enjoy it. Those fuckers are really expensive and I don't have any needs for a monitor other than using it for my console.

BarbeQueQ

@Theoutlet: The sun also riseth, the sun also goeth down.

@ca$h: I'm actually misty-eyed.

It's insane. I don't think a trailer for a game I've never played before has made me choke up before.

Bialia

Looked amazing, totally gonna check this game out.

@ottothecat2008:
Here is the new video, observe that it actually looks 'team ico-ish' now with the overexposed soft light.

+ Watch video

Somebody fix it so it's watchable in the post

ottothecat2008

@FP_slomo788: Agreed. MS might have had the most impressive looking conference but in the end, I felt they kinda came up short in terms of actual games. But still, they did a lot better than I expected. There wasn't much on the horizon before E3 and now we have two new Halos, ME2, Splinter Cell, Crackdown 2 and L4D2. Anything I missed?

@Takamofo: Yea I think some was leaked earlier. I chose not to watch it because I knew they would show it at E3.

How anyone won't be able to love the Giant WolfChicken would be beyond me.

I imagine getting him into/out of tight spaces will be the crux of this one...

CoffeyWasHere

This just looks heartbreakingly beautiful. Oh god I can't wait.

Bialia

@Savoryy: Peter Molyneux is upset that they made a bigger dog...

Talryyn

@Glorax: This is the old video.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Just a little racist maybe

@Gene-ius: All I need is to see the trailer to know how beautiful the game is. The is the team that made the interactive works of art, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. They haven't failed before, so it isn't wild to think this one will be very pretty and detailed.

@Savoryy: The feathers of the griffen looked amazing...did anyone else think that the kid looked cell-shaded or was it just me?

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I don't know about those exact predictions, but I do predict this game will make a lot of us cry like babies.

Bialia

@Koda89:

Umm
This is the old video. The new video shows the graphics have improved 5,000 times, and the physics of the creatures fur and feathers are amazing in the new video.

ottothecat2008

dumptruck

Love the monster's design, completely subverts the sort of aggressive features you expect to see on something that large.

There's nobody else out there doing what Team Ico does. It's a damn shame. Brilliant people.

Moonshadow101

@Trygle12 is FREE!... and waiting for Disgaea 2: splurging on a ps3 would be a total waste of money, not to mention hard to clean.

By the time this game is out, PS3 will be cheap enough to buy. :D :D :D

Assault

@Goldwings: Has no idea why his avatar is a smiling sun: This.

@Savoryy: I agree, it looked amazing. Gave me chills. It's gonna be good.

Bialia

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I'll raise you and say that Eaglehampsterdog dies.

Se7enthSamurai

@Seiger:

nah the flying rat cat thing will die saving the kid. cant wait to see more on this game

@woons: If those liquids were manly tears from the eyes then yes, me too. I seriously shed a tear in excitement and in awe at such an endearing trailer about a boy and his massive pet who will surely die while saving the boy in the end.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I bet the creature dies, maybe trying to save the kid.

Just throwin' that out there. :P

@elmarko:

s your b's?

why not l your c? or t your p's?

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I dunno, man. I'd put money on this being the earliest game in series, chronologically.

Think about it. *SPOILERS* Ico is a descendant of Wander, with his entire bloodline cursed to carry the mark of horns because of his dealings with Dormin. The boy (and more importantly, the monster) could explain what happened to the land that Shadow of the Colossus is based in. Or at least, where all of these giant monsters came from, and how they got infused with Dormin's essence and made into partial statues.

But yeah. The kid or the monster will die, absolutely. And it will be the greatest gaming moment of this generation.

@BiddyBalboa: My Guess is 2919. I'm sorry I couldn't contain myself.
No really my guess is Spring 2011. I hope to God I'm wrong though.

@Trygle12 is FREE!... and waiting for Disgaea 2: Too bad my mom's a dude so HA jokes on you.

I kid too.

CrianBrecente

Where is the uncharted footage? the crappy streamed video that I saw blew me away

@torrseph: Your expectations are not of this world.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I'd like to put money on the sun rising tomorrow.

Any takers?

@CrianBrecente:

Yeah sure...

I'm just letting your mother rest for a bit.

:O

Yeah, I kid.

I got chills down my spine watching that trailer. Magical would be an understatement.

@Savoryy: i wanna know when its coming out!!! anyone?

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: T_T Sadly I think this is how it'll probably turn out.

Seiger

@Koda89: . . . already? We all KNOW it's going to be brilliant, but that's hyperbolic at this stage.

Gene-ius

Err...

This is the original video.

@Nightshift Nurse: Nice catch. You are correct.

+ Watch video

@Pyccko: Yeah, I thought the leaked one was fake when I heard it.

This game is going to be amazing to play if that's the theme song.

@Nightshift Nurse: It is. They had no copyrighted track back then, yet.

@torrseph: i wanted to hear about kingdom hearts 3 but at least i got this

@torrseph: A price cut was the only thing that could have made it better imo.

In terms of exclusives and announcements I think it was the best of the 3, with Nintendo second and MS third.

@Se7enthSamurai:

Shadow of the Colossus had a sad ending :(

I teared up a little. I swear it was the music!

@Savoryy: They made the main character a caucasian child. I don't think I can handle that change. I mean, once you go white, it just won't ever feel right. But if you go brown, you'll never see a frown.

Also, he's friends with a Griffen. That makes my Johnson stiffen*!

Dohohohohoho, I should do stand up.

*I'm not a furry or anything. Honest.
**Or a racist.

BubbleF**kingBuddy

Looks like the kid accidentally fed it the "super spicy" barrel at the beginning.

Krytha

absolutely gorgeous

I feel like this game will make me cry. Seems a mix of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Never Ending Story. Ha, I don't know. I just know it looks spectacular and will blow everyones mind.

Se7enthSamurai

@Nightshift Nurse: And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the soundtrack to Miller's Crossing (or some variation on it) playing during the leaked trailer?

This isn't the video that was shown at E3, correct? Do the character designs look different in the new video? I kinda don't like the design of the creature in the original video.

so, when can we see the updated video?

1. The kid dies.
2. This takes place after Ico.

I'll put money on it.

BubbleF**kingBuddy

Any word on when this is coming out?

Valkrin

DAMN when will we get that new video? What about the soundtrack? Is it a new one by Kow Otani?

I thought this looked really beautiful. My favourite one of Sony's new games to be honest. (GT5 and GOW can s my b's)

elmarko

God it looked so gorgeous, I was making all kinds of strange noises and excreting all kinds of strange liquids all over the place.

Looks amazing and I don't care if it's on the PS3. I'll get it!

Fuck God of War 3, this looks better.

You have no idea how happy this made me when I saw it this morning.

GO TEAM ICO!!!

Wow. And here I thought the leaked footage already looked completely gorgeous.

Was there any difference between the two trailers? There were rumors going around this footage was old so I'm not sure...

I'm still stoked that they used the song from Miller's Crossing. God, I love that movie.

I know you guys are having fun but..GET BACK TO WORK oh this looks great. This E3 is making me feel all warm and fuzzy too bad its 90 plus outside.

It is one of the most detailed and beautiful games I have ever seen.

looked good i guess, never played ico or shadow of colossus but they looked awesome. To be honest i was a bit disappointed with sonys conference. It was good, but it could have been better.

Woot.

...It almost makes me wish I splurged on a PS3.

... It's still too expensive for my budget/tastes.

One of the best things at E3. Looked beautiful and endearing. Cannot wait.

@torrseph: if you consider those exclusive. literally, all of those are on the PC too. :/

@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: I don't think its like that at all. I'm willing to bet that a large portion of the readers are from the US, if only for the reason that we have a rather high population compared to most other countries, so I don't think you can fault someone for making an assumption that the other poster is from the US. And if he isn't, then snide comments from sarcastic assholes don't really fix the problem anyway, do they?

Anonymity is not a license to be a dick.
