    Suppose we'll find out more at E3, maybe even a real release date...that they can delay from with a few months. But at least it's still a real game that you can play, apparently. I've never been that hyped about The Last Guardian, as I only played ever played Shadow of the Colossus briefly on PS2 and really couldn't handle the game coughing up blood as it pushed the console to it's limits. ICO I never tried.

    Hmmm... I don't know.
    I played Ico and started Shadow of the Colossus but, after watching last year's E3 footage, I can't help thinking that this game may have missed its "wow, that's impressive" window by a couple of years or so.

    Still, I'll be interested to see what they show of it this year.

    @wacomole: I'm with you on that one. Plus after the screenshots and the game's premise I'm just not all that intrigued by it. I'm definitely not pre-ordering it. I'm going to wait for the reviews to come out.

    @wacomole: Yeah, at this point, I'm more so just interested to see what it is than actually wanting it, based on the footage showed. All they've showed is very basic platforming. There will have to be significantly more to this game to garner any idea of purchase. I'm sure there will be more but I we'll see just how much.

    “The amount of code is very large compared to AI in conventional games. We’ve given this creature its own desires, so depending on what action it wants to take, that affects everything, including its animation. It’s not like a normal humanoid character."

    This could totally backfire in terms of gameplay.
