New Screenshots Of Team Ico's The Last Guardian
Get a glimpse of the environment you'll be trotting about in.
One of the most anticipated cult games heading for the PlayStation 3 this... decade (it's pencilled in for 2011, but I wouldn't hold your breath) has to be Team ICO's The Last Guardian. So have some new screenshots for it, courtesy of Videogames Zone.
The studio has created ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on the PlayStation 2 in the past – both inspiring, artistic adventure games that tugs at your emotions without a word of dialogue. Nothing is really known about this third game, except the fact that you're a young person who is attached in some way to a huge cat/bird/gryphon thing.
Take a look at the screenshots over there and feel safe in the knowledge that the artistic formula of Team ICO's past isn't being meddled with one bit. We look forward to finding out more on the game soon.

A sort of follow-up to two of the most tedious games I have ever tried to play. Wow. I'm so enthusiastic.
Honestly, ICO and SotC were lovely to look at but very very boring and dull. Hopefully this will be more fun.
Lots of people seemed to like them so I guess it's horses for courses (except the horse riding in SotC was beautifully done but -yawn-) since I don't get Streetfighter / Tekken etc. Either that or the ICO/SotC attitude was a "lovey" thing.

No, I was being totally serious. Those games are fantastic example of interactive media. But like you said, horses for courses. Different people like different games. Some people like adventure games where the atmosphere and environment tells the story, others like explosions and guns and space travel (I happen to like both but that's not the point).
I see it as a parallel to something like the Lost In Translation film. A lot of people I speak to say that film is 'boring', but like the Team ICO games I guess you either 'get it' or you don't.

Oh, played Persona 4 yet? It has the good stuff of both worlds, a very fast streamlined battle-system and a fantastic symbolic/surreal theme and setting. And you can have about 4 girlfriends at the same times. That's the way i like videogames to go. Dragon Age has done the same thing in the battlesystem but took itself on the theme/story side far too serious...but I liked the personal relations bit...I just replay the game for those things.
