The Last Guardian vs Shadow of the Colossus: HD Screenshot Comparison

GB: "Shadow of the Colossus was one of the best games for the PlayStation 2. I don't know why, but it was underrated by many publications back then. For me Shadow of the Colossus was one of those games that redefined the PlayStation 2 experience in 2005. Fast forward six years , 2011, The Last Guardian is set to do the same.

So how do the two games stack up with each other? Please do note that this comparison is not aimed at a graphical level, but is for comparing the visual style and art direction.

Damn i cant wait for the shadow of colossus Collection its everyones must wanted collection and having it with HD graphics trophie support and much more makes it one of the Greatest collection ( Next to GOD OF WAR of course)

I feel that this game may become more of a fan favorite than the king of action-adventures and puzzle games (just like what SOTC was). It's 6 years later, and we've seen a considerable rise in the amount of FPS games. Obviously, I want this game but that doesn't stop me from worrying about its relevancy in today's market.

i agree 100 percent with your comment Rashid Sayed i hope last Guardian successed in everything game play story and sales it seems from what we have seen and heard these may became a fan favourite from all of them and we dont have to worry Team ICO will make sure when they release it it will be the best work they have put it in

Wow that's really amazing.They look really great. They look identical.

[DigitalRaptor]

You're right. I don't think The Last Guardian won't sell its deserved amount. It will do well, don't get me wrong. It just won't be considered or recognised by the mainstream. Such a shame.

I wish I could just make a Public Service Announcement to convince people to play this wonderful game.

To all those who think "the creature gonna die ;( "

Fumito Ueda said that TLG IS NOT A SAD GAME, plus that's why they've mad this trailer with a joyfull music. He his fully aware that everyone belive that Torico gonna die, He wishes to inform the players that the end of the game is amazing.

So I dunno what will happen, but Torico probably not going to die, that would be too easy and desapointing.

Don't be so sure. We are all expecting the creature or boy to die, ever since SOTC we are all suspecting it.

And I think Ueda says he is aware of this and will try to make it less predictable. Regardless of what happens, I am going to cry, the game just looks too damn beautiful

[bangoskank]

The music isn't so joyful. It's also not original music from the game. It is actually the opening and closing music to the Cohen Brothers film "Miller's Crossing" which, might I add, was awesome.

I believe there will definitely be some kind of sacrifice at the end of the game.

This comparison reminded me of just how incredible the colossi looked, especially for back in the PS2 era (when upscaled into 720p).

In technical graphics, for obvious reasons, TLG looks better. As for artistic design... I would give it to SoTC right now, but that's not really fair: all we've seen of TLG is two characters, some enemies and a couple of environments.

Having said that, some of the colossi even at the beginning of SoTC looked incredible.

They're too different to compare.

Man I am such a sucker for their games. I am going nuts waiting for the ICO collection AND Last Guardian. Team ICO can do no wrong in my eyes.

[cliffbo]
