At last, the game is here. With only two weeks to go until E3 (man, time's just flown by!) and an all but confirmed release date of 2016, the waiting has finally come to an end. IGN just posted an interview with Ueda and it contains some unseen footage as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgjvrv47qes. It's pretty interesting, but nothing we didn't know before.

Anyway, are you excited? Has the wait been too long? What are your expectations? It's definitely one of my most anticipated games of this year!

I can say I am not that excited for it, but then again I never played Ico or its sequel so yeah.

I'm not excited but I'll likely play it anyway. Like above, I didn't play Ico or ShadCol and I believe this is why most people are excited for this game.

Yeah, I think you'd need to play Ico and Shadow of the Colossus to fully appreciate The Last Guardian. I've played both and they're mysterious, haunting, magical games. If The Last Guardian can live up to them (and there's no reason it can't), it's going to be something pretty special. I can't wait.

@Tasuki: @mrobinson91: I think it helps if you have played either SOTC or Ico before. I have played The Shadow of the Colossus and I still think it's one of the best games. It's the reason why I'm looking forward to The Last Guardian, if it can deliver the same experience, I'm sure it's going to be a game to remember.

@Octane: I certainly got that feeling and have been tempted to play Shadow on either PSNow or my PS3...my worry is that I've heard playing it now, it feels a bit old and clunky so think I might wait for The Last Guardian and start there

ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are, in my opinion, two of the greatest games ever made. The latter in particular would be in my Top Five of all time.

I absolutely adore the concept for this game. When has a game ever tried to forge a relationship between the player and an AI character before? I can't think of very many examples at all. And the way they describe the relationship between the boy and the bird — this ambiguous relationship that's open to interpretation... It's just glorious.

Even if the game ends up disappointing (which, given the track record, it won't) I'm sure I'll end up applauding the ambition. Too many developers and publishers are frightened to experiment in the way that Team ICO does, and the industry would be worse off without them.

Thought I brought up this thread again. 5 days left 6 days if you live in Europe or Australia. Just pre-ordered my copy, still can't believe it's actually happening. Anyone else planning to pick this game up at launch!?

Hyped! It'll be a Christmas game for me, though. But yeah, very much looking forward to it.

Yeah same here, it's on my Christmas list and I'll be playing it then. Between the 9th and Christmas Day I will be in full "LA LA LA FINGERS IN EARS SHUT UP INTERNET" mode.

Can't believe it's finally here!

I've got to finish Final Fantasy XV before I can start The Last Guardian.

There's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

I really, really want it to be great. I want all of their hard work to pay off for the team as well as for the patient gamers. I am anxious about it and do not know how it could live up to the hype, but I will continue to dream about the possibilities until it is released.

I'm kind of worried about it. Not that size is indicative of quality but the European download size is just 12GB.

Really hoping it's at least 6-8 hours long. Need to finish FFXV story first, but I'll be there Day 1.

@Fight_Teza_Fight: The Witness is 6 gigabyte too and that is a beautiful rendered world and game. Just like that game TLG has puzzles, which often require you to stay for a longer time in the same area. Voice acting takes a lot of GB's, which isn't in there, and also exclusive games are often smaller in size (as they're more optimized).

Don't worry. I expect this game to be good actually. Not saying it'll set the world on fire nessecarily, but from the videos it looks like it is very well crafted. Don't worry, but don't go in there with extreme expectations either.

@Kidfried: Yh I'm sure it'll be good. But I do think they'll be in for some stick if they spend 10 years on a 5 hour game.
It doesn't bother me. The development time doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game, but it might be in for a polarising metacritic score.

@Fight_Teza_Fight: Or it means the rest of the industry is pretty bad at optimalisation? Splatoon on the Wii U was only 1.8 GB!

I did see a guys post on reddit saying it took him around 12 hours to complete, obviously it's not a 100% proof but if it's true I think that's a decent length.

Might as well make this the OT. I will say, I have never played ICO or Shadow. So really this game has no interest to me. Glad to see fans of the series get what they wanted for so long.
