Fumito Ueda: The Last Guardian is under earnest development

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus — two games that almost always get up whenever people discuss whether video games can be both fun to play and truly "art" — are available right now, for free, in HD glory, for PlayStation Plus users.

"However, SCE Japan Studio, who's working on The Last Guardian, also has titles like Puppeteer and Knack, and those are only the ones currently announced. Those are taking priority right now."

I wished they had chosen to put their efforts into TLG over Knack. It could have been a marvelous launch title.

This is definitely a PS4 game now. It was announced in 2009, when the PS4 was already in porduction, and they had a lot of trouble with development because of the PS3 limitations. Mark Cerny is working with Japan Studio, so they surely knew about the PS4 since early development, and because of that, it is most likely that they decided to start over on the PS4.

The reason that we have been waiting for so long is that, obviously, the PS4 took time to be developed and announced. Now that it has been announced, Sony wouldn't risk The Last Guardian to be a launch title because it is more niche than mainstream, so they created Knack. The Last Guardian will be out by 2015 at the latest, when the install base is better. This game is going to impress with the graphics and animations. It already did on the PS3, and with the potential of PS4, it can only get better.

I hope you are correct...I really do

FamilyGuy3893d ago (Edited 3893d ago )

I'm glad you said Knack because Puppeteer looks AMAZING.

No surprise to hear they're still doing something with the last guardian, it's been a highly anticipated titles for YEARS. I still remember when the game trailer first broke on Gamersyde. Was at the top of the page here for a while.

why is puppeteer not being ported to ps4?? thats good launch game if i ever saw one.

colonel1793893d ago

When I first knew about Puppeteer I was like MEH.. but after watching some trailers, this game is just truly amazing and jaw-dropping. It if a gorgeous game and the only thing I'm praying for is that it's not a really short game.

It is amazing how people can come up with this ideas. This game is truly innovative. I don't care if this was a game for Wii U, Xbox or Atari; innovation and originality is needed, and this game nails it. I am very impressed.

ZodTheRipper3894d ago

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

banger88129d ago

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183128d ago

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

persona4chie127d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.

Technical issues aside, this is easily one of my favorite games from last gen.

ClayRules2012812d ago (Edited 812d ago )

I couldn’t agree more. I’ll never forget the emotional experience I had with this game. After waiting all those years, and than to finally play it. It was a visual beauty, along with offering a story/friendship between the 2 characters that was unique and unforgettable. Far surpassed my expectations. A masterpiece!

Technical issues aside, never have I played anything quite like it!

Magog812d ago

I enjoyed the game but it started out too simple and easy. If the entire game was as intense and challenging as the last 20% it would have been a 10/10 experience.

EvertonFC812d ago

Great game, so underrated. One of my favourites and top 20 games of all time

Phoenix76812d ago

I managed to grab the collectors edition for £40 about a year after it released. Was an enjoyable game, but I had just finished Shadow of the colossus, and whilst I enjoyed it, it was not as good when compared.
