Majin 'Completely Different' from The Last Guardian

Ever since Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom was first revealed, a contingent of gamers have been writing it off as a "clone" of The Last Guardian, even though nobody's seen more than ten minutes of Team ICO's game. Destructoid asked producer Daisuke Uchiyama what he made of these accusations of plagiarism.

I played the demo and it was hella boring. They should be embracing any comparisons to Last Guardian.

[despair]

strange how many varying views I've seen on this game's demo, I personally want to get the game just for the lighthearted feel of it. Sure it wasn't the most exciting demo I played but it was still very enjoyable and I think I would like the interactions between the boy and the Majin, even if the Majin voice is not the greatest.

That said no one can ever test Team ICO for game atmosphere and emotional impact, the two games are not really alike.

[captain-obvious]

the heck is Majin ??
is it a game ???
if it is then i swear to god this is the first time i ever hear this name

and that big thing in that pic looks creepy

[gaffyh]

I was looking forward to playing Majin, but the demo was extremely slow and boring, so I will give it a miss now.

[despair]

yea the game is under the radar but there was a demo up a while back. Only reason I know about the game is from a Qore episode they talked to the developers.

[Chris399]

Graphics were pretty rough and the combat was unintuitive. I liked the fact that it was more action oriented than SOTC, but I didn't feel that the action was executed well.

The voice-work was leaning toward painful too.

[Igneel]

But you havent played the last gardian.

@ disagree:

well , have you played the Last Guardian?

[mrcash]

why should they embrace them when the game isnt even out, for all we know it might be horrible, im looking forward to it so i hope it isnt but lets not be stupid.

[Malicious]

I thought it was obvious that this game was completely different from The Last Guardian. The only thing that's the same is you have a big friend helping you.

[SuperKing]

I heard some former ICO developers worked on this. Might check it out.

[labwarrior]

and solve puzzles

They are in fact so similar that puzzles me how they are making Last Guardian, when now offers nothing new

They should redesign the game or make another one, otherwise would loose big

[DigitalAnalog]

I've never seen a more deluded comment in my life.

-End statement

[maxcer]

its always like that around here, people claim this game or that game is the best but the bloody thing isn't even out yet.

[Shane Kim]

You are a well known Bot labwarrior, you spew the same shit in GT forums as well. Therefore your comments are of no relevance.

[poopface1]

these games are a rip off of a boy and his blob on NES right?

[jneul]

you really done it now, way to be the most wrong person on here, no one has played on the last guardian, so you cannot say how it works at all...

[byeGollum]

it was fun to play for me
i'll get it... but for those that buy games based on reviews .... ... .. .

[ironcreed]

I played the demo and promptly quit and deleted it after hearing that thing talk. "You save me, you nice." No thanks. This game will not touch The Last Guardian.

[HeartDisease]

i thought the game majin was aimed at a younger audience. if the personality of the majin was different it would make it more interesting to me, but as it is now its kinda kiddy. as the article states they are trying to appeal to a broad audience so i guess that makes sense. any comparison to last guardian is idiotic at this point as many have pointed out.

[xg-ei8ht]

Nothing like the last guardian, rofl.

It's more like enslaved.

Have to help eachother to get where you need to go.

[Megaman42xX]

Maijn is coming out in a week and it already has a demo. So it's ripping off a game that hasn't even released any gameplay footage?
