The Last Guardian AMA

I'm the guy who got a copy early and made a thread yesterday. Well I played through the game. If you have any questions post them.

I also made some screenshots I'm gonna share here.

Did you like it ?

Who dies: the boy or the beast?

how many drops to 10 fps were there

Any Shadow of the Colossus or Ico easter eggs/cameo/nod/reference/etc?

Is it good?
how long?
worth full price?
worth the wait?

Yes it was incredibly good and the ending hits its mark. But you have to get in with the right expectations. Don't expect SOTC 2. Expect ICO on a much bigger scale with different game mechanics.

Is it an open world, or you can only control the dog among buildings and big walls?

why don't you put on a trip so no one can impersonate you?
unless you have a screenshot for every post you're planning on making

Yesterday a few. Today there was an update 1.02 wich improved the fps somewhat (still a lot of fps drops) and also enabled trophies even though I can't view them on the trophy list yet.

How long is it?
How does it perform?
Post trophy screenshot so we know you re honest

yesterday there was not a single person impersonating me. And i'm not gonna waste money on a trip.

There is no open world. It's as linear as ICO. You move through "rooms" to progress. You never control Trico either. You learn to give him commands wich he doesn't allways listen to like an animal. Often times you have to insist giving the same order for him to understand.

>And i'm not gonna waste money on a trip.
how fucking stupid are you?
Sup Forums.org/faq#trip
>To use a normal tripcode, place a hash mark ("#") followed by a word or short phrase after what you've entered into the [Name] field (ex. "User#password"). Upon submission, the server will generate the hash unique to that particular word or phrase. The previous example would display "User !ozOtJW9BFA" after being posted.

>And i'm not gonna waste money on a trip
How new are you?

>How long?
2-3 times as long as ICO
>Performance?
20-30 fps on regular PS (fps can tank below that, but pretty rare)
>While the update today made that I get trophies, I can't see them in the trophy app. But I'm posting unique screens. So theres that.

>And i'm not gonna waste money on a trip.

This is the kind of people on Sup Forums right now. Anyway, go on, user.

>2-3 times as long as ICO

So 10 hours?

Am I gonna get feels at the end?

I'm sorry: I allways assumed you had to pay for trips so did not look into them.

Does Trico die?

Just spoil it already, who dies? Kid or bird?

More or less. Yesterday I played some 4 hours today a lil bit more. But I tend to play rather slow.

And yes a lot of feels. The story is pretty good if you ask me.

>I allways assumed you had to pay for trips
Don't give the gook any ideas.

neither dies!

dropped

Is there any other mode besides the main story, are there side activities (side quests, challenges, collectibles). Or you just beat it and thats it?

>I allways assumed you had to pay for trips so did not look into them.
Delete this post right now, I don't want gook moot to get any clever ideas.

No other modes. After playing through the game you don't unlock another mode. No sidequests, no challanges, collectibles (not sure, but i didn't encounter any)

Top kek. He's gonna plaster the site with ads anyway. Fucking gook

How much of a videogame is it?

Legit question.

How easy does the platinum look?

Speedrunning Ico was a terrible idea.

Bullshit!

Preorder cancelled!

Yes, after finishing the game we can unlock your mom as a playable character, her superpowers are opening her legs and fuck the enemy till death and giving enemies a blowjob

help

How much of a video game is ICO to you? Probably the same amount.

In terms of cutscenes, there are barely any that take away controls from you. You usually have to do shit while shit is goin down.

>How much of a video game is ICO to you? Probably the same amount.
Fair enough

is it me or does this game look like it borrows some of the exact same assets from skyrim?

I can't see the trophies. I just got them. So I can't tell. But the game is pretty linear. So it will probably have a speedrun one and not much else that could be difficult.

Sidenote: (I'm not sure if I accidentally got the plat. trophy at the end like in some telltale games, bc they look similar to the silver ones. Like I said I can't check)

So what you are saying is, I should get it for maybe $25 down the line?

come on dude don't spoil things

Did you cry at the end of the game?
Is it sad?

>I allways assumed you had to pay for trips

Genius.

HIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't regret getting it full price and I don't know your taste. So I can't tell you if it's worth that to you. To me it's worth full price though.

Didn't cry but was sadder than when wanda dies/gets reborn.

LOL no. It looks way better. Unlike skyrim there is a range of different lighting during the game. While it starts pretty grey it does end on dusk, which gives it a nice look.

You ok there user? What triggered you? The thought of finishing a game or challenges. Did your penis stopped working from impotent rage because you suck dick at video games?

...

those are obviously dwemer ruins in the first post i replied to, and the second one has that black shelf thing you find in nordic ruins

Literally ps3 tier graphic.
Why this isn't on ps3? I bought a ps3 for this dammit.

how long is it?
how much variety is there?
can the controls get tiresome sometimes like in sotc?
how clever are the puzzles, did you ever have to think about that to do next for a long time?

>so desperate they have a paid fake leaker pretending the game is good
I mean, "a patch fixed it", what the fuck were you thinking?

Tell my user, is the story more straigthforward than ICO and SoTC? Are there any cryptic elements to it?

>. It looks way better
literally nothing you posted goes along that statement.

does the enviroment vary a lot?
most of what they showed looked more or less like the same ruin?
is there backtracking?

>Didn't cry but was sadder than when wanda dies/gets reborn.

You said neither dies, though, so I assume they just don't stay together?

I guess I can live with that ;_;

No they don't really look a like imo.

From what I've seen they reworked the lighting, grass and wind. Which all draws extremely on the power of the ps4. And I'm sure this game skipped the Ps3 bc of hardware limitations.

Long? 10 hours more or less.
Variety? Not a lot, but puzzles can be quite different and you'll have to adapt to new challenges.
Controls tiresome? Yupp. When using Trico as a plattform. The kid often does cling to Trico when he jumps and hits a part of Trico's geometry bc there is no grab button anymore and he holds onto Trico everytime he touches his feathers.
How clever are the puzzles? ICO/later Zelda dungeons level. Got stuck two times, but in hindsight it was obvious.

This could solve a lot of issues.

Not a leaker. The retailer made a mistake and send it earlier. There have been two updates and one slightly improved the fps but it is still far from perfect. And I was the one who brought up the bad fps. Wouldn't make sense for a shill to do.

Everything takes place in those ruins. Up untill the end you won't see much variation just like in ICO.

yup

too bad about the controls part but the other stuff sounds good

how big of a role do enemies play a role?
one trailer showed the kid throwing stuff at them

is there more stuff like that in the final game

Well I never throwed stuff at enemies as the kid isn't really able to fight them. The kid takes the place of the girl in Ico during fights. So your objective will be to get Trico to save you when enemies arrive. Often times you'll have to open a gate or destroy some things that are preventing Trico from helping you. When you get caught by enemies they try to carry you into a blue door, but you can struggle free (pretty easily). You never get a weapon either.

I tried throwing stuff at the enemies and it hardly even staggers them, and the animations for picking shit up and then throwing it are so slow that they'll be on your ass before you can do it.

Also, there's no sneaking segments like in that trailer, even though the boy still has the tiptoe animation.

>Long? 10 hours more or less.
Literally 1 hour per year

Yep this guy is right. Only sneaking segment is one where you have to avoid some "searchlights".

Quality over quantity.

...

This pop ups never go away.

...

So the thread seems pretty much dead. If someone still has questions ask them in the next 3 minutes. If there aren't any, I'll go get some food.

>tfw will never get another amazing game like SotC anymore with good framerate and better visuals

There's this game, prey of the gods, indie though

> Quality
> PS3 era graphics
> 30fps
> Graphical inconsitencity
> Linearity

Nigga, are you a shill?

yes a shill that told every one that it doesn't even nearly run on consistent 30 fps.

Can you play as a cute girl

No

are you retarded?

dropped

shit game

you can play as a cute boy though

Go back to your edgy MP FPS scum.

Glad Sup Forums doesn't care enough to spoil-post this game into oblivion, like FFXV. Considering the seething hate for sonyggers here I thought there'd be at least 4-5 spoiler threads going just to spite us.

Makes browsing the catalog over the next few days not so dangerous.

why does it look like a ps2.5 game?

question.

Does the trico creature become a colossus in the end? do they inhabit the same world, is made obvious?

oh hey there's a good idea

is it worth a purchase?

thinking of getting it as the free game with best buy's deal this tuesday.

Is it connected to Sotc or Ico the say way later two were connected?

>You never control Trico either. You learn to give him commands wich he doesn't allways listen to like an anima
Is he at least smarter than that dumb cunt yorda?

Do you like Ico?
Do you like SotC?
Is it distinctly different enough from either that someone who didn't like them (or Ico in this case) will enjoy it?
To gauge the overlap in our tastes - favourite 3 and worst 3 games in recent history?

not really, but he at least can't get dragged off. So it doesn't matter too much

No he doesn't become a colossus. Could be the same universe, but it is never stated.

yes imo, but only if you liked ICO; it's nothing like sotc

as far as I know nope, unless some runes mean shit in ICO/sotc language; but it's possible that it takes place in the same universe

Give me the biggest spoiler my dude. Big fan of SOTC but poorfag so make me not spend money.

>not really, but he at least can't get dragged off.
Ok, i can live with that.

I liked ICO a lot.
I liked Sotc a lot, but liked ICO more.
It's pretty much ICO 2 so I wouldn't recommend it to you. But if you hated saving Yorda all the time, don't worry too much you won't be saving Trico a lot, he'll be saving you on ocassion instead.
Fav. 3 games in recent history: Bloodborne, sleeping dogs, Pokemon Sun
Worst 3 games in recent history (i have played): watch dogs, red faction and skyrim

just spoil the fucking plot and ending already, i wanna know what happens and what the explanations is for everything
unless there is noone and they're conforming to the autistic cryptic avant garde plot bullshit

Major spoilers. You were warned. There are a lot of animals like Trico. They capture children and get food as a reward. The kid was one of them and Trico got hurt by the villagers of the kid's village and couldn't sacrifice the kid therefore. The animals aren't bad or evil in nature, but they are controlled by the food they get which makes their horn blue. Throughout the game you will feed Trico with the barrels you find. Later you find out that each of this barrels equals a killed kid.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE

Ending: Huge showdown where you have to save Trico from a army of "bad" Tricos. After you save him the kid is dying. Trico takes him back to the village where he kidnapped the kid from and almost gets killed by the villager so the kid gives him one last order: to leave

>that last part


Jesus dude

Can you really not remove the pop-ups?

Yeah that one was a good twist, but I kinda expected it to go in some dark direction bc the barrels you feed him have some blue glowing liquid seeping out which doesn't look like something you would feed anyone, but rather like something to poison/enchant/control somebody.

Okay, i'm scared to scroll through the thread cause of spoilers, i just want to know how long the game is

SOYLENT BLUE IS PEOPLLLLLLLEEEEE. ITS PEOPLE!

Nope, but it is almost as if the devs knew that it shouldn't be there, bc it gets less frequent but never leaves. Let's say 3/10 times when crossing a ledge there will be the pop up that you can hang from it with X. I don't get why they didn't remove it altogether. But let's not forget that I already had an update that improved the fps slightly. Maybe there will be an update to adress this issue. If you are lucky it will be there day 1.
