I remember my sister showing me the old trailer years ago when I asked her what her favourite current game was, I was planning to get it for her birthday when it came out but sadly it never did then. When it actually came out I freaked out so much I called my sister, I just told her I was getting her a "late birthday gift" :)

[@curiouscarlo7276]

How did it go?

[@lemonkerr9932]

@@curiouscarlo7276 We never got the PS4 that we were planning to get but one of her friends bought it and we had a chance to play it together, Seeing as we bonded over ICO and Shadow of the Colossus it was reliving childhood nostalgia in a new form, serious chills :]

[@curiouscarlo7276]

@@lemonkerr9932 That is pretty sweet

[@ElvenRaptor]

I'm shocked at how little seemed to change in their ultimate gameplan over nearly a decade.

[@SolidSonicTH]

Nothing seems to be missing from the 2009 trailer in the final game. The only real difference I noticed is in the final game, the kid doesn't have anything on his feet and he wears sandals in the 2009 trailer. The Project Trico trailer is clearly not for the same target platform, though.

[@SammEater]

I still can't believe both Last Guardian and FF XV actually came out and are good unlike Duke Nukem Forever.

[@Bloodhurl67]

SammEater SO TRUE

[@LonBolfZ]

Next: Shenmue 3 And someday... Half-Life 3... :_)

[@Bloodhurl67]

***** Hopefully so. It's about time Valve learns to count to 3 ya know.

[@Web720]

Thats because DNF one of the biggest problem during development was engine changes and the second was that the lead wanted mechanics and settings from other games while in developmenting which kept pushing it.

[@Bloodhurl67]

Tenzing Khedup I learned why FF15 failed and that's because it wasn't in development for 10 years, it was in development for 3 to 5 years. The reason why that is is because FF15 was originally Final Fantasy 13 Versus but that was scrapped by Tabata who didn't work on FF 13 Versus. FF15 was under developed because Square Enix (the publisher) forced them to release FF15 before 2017. It was either that or the game gets canned and Tabata possibly fired.

[@attentialkane]

the last guardian is absolute a fucking masterpiece, the command are a little bit awkward but...oh my god I love that game

[@bebepayasito]

I feel like getting a PS4 just for this game

[@onyx_vii7808]

Do it

[@de4084]

LeafyIsHere don't.

[@darklordgrim8484]

Hulk I'd rather not have something that melts ty lol

[@ghostwizard7597]

i hate when game developers make games for ps only i really want to play it but, i rather wait until someone make a pirate version of the game, so i can download the ps4 emulator and play it, i know it's illegal but, where i live a lot of people do that, it's only crime here when you sell it, i'm not buying a ps4 only to play the game

[@BigGeekEmpire]

Yeah I hate when companies owned by Sony make only games for their own consoles. Smh!

[@bigbadfeeling]

2019 anyone? This will last forever.

[@crystelthewolf]

I think i liked the design of the "old" trico better, i liked the dark horns and feet. Plus its face was a lil fluffier and it looks a bit more cat-like to me. But i still love both designs and im super happy with how the game turned out in the end :)

[@TheJrbdog]

The older version looked way more colorful, but the new version still looks great. Can't wait to see this game released

[@erinocelotl3578]

i think the new version of being less colourful suits the game's story quite a lot.

[@Starfishcentral]

I am glad that the game developers skipped a console to bring the game out on the PS4. Saying that I would have got it for the PS3 if it had been released on that console. The Last Guardian looks stunning! Release date is 9th December unless it is delayed again.

[@Monstert_]

+Monster S. Three days earlier, even better!

[@onyx_vii7808]

It's here :)

[@BigGeekEmpire]

I'm convinced the game was never running on a actual PS3

[@briannagravely9349]

BigGeekEmpire the 2009 trailer was sped up due to low framerates.

[@GingerWizzard1994]

This game is considered revolutionary today, as it would have been back then. That's the mark of a timeless wonder. Such art comes along once in a blue moon.

[@but_iWantedTo_speakGerman]

it is not revolutionary, low IQ zoomer twit

[@TengokuEXE]

I still can't believe this game came out. I'm still used to waiting for it.

[@ryan-levy]

When you compare them it makes Project Trico look like a crappy rip-off.

[@SammEater]

To be fair though it was a game for the previous gen in 2009, of course it would look 'bad'.

[@noir2601]

it was meant for ps3.

[@christopherb.5797]

Trico actually looks like a giant rat in the alpha version. But the final version is better.

[@SakkaPlayer]

It didnt look like a rip off when the first trailer released. Spoiled with modern graphics

[@bennyharvey6710]

I would much rather play the one on the left, one on right looks way more generic and western, left reminds me so much of ICO I love it

[@Aeneiden]

One of the best games ever

[@Dahfukc]

😦I cried at the ending I don't Wanna spoil it tho

[@sophiecenteno445]

SAME HERE 😥

[@edselo9264]

Corvo Shrapnel I did…………

[@darkbornelines4587]

The animations in the game for both Trico and the boy is amazing. The boy looks like he is straight out of a PS2 game though.

[@johnpaulkeller5450]

More than likely that was the point. Think back to Ico and shadow of the colossus. I think they thought they'd be keeping with a theme by rendering out the character models that way.

[@darkbornelines4587]

hmm, I dont think so. Look at how detailed Trico and rest of the game is, where as the boys face look freaking weird. Trico have all those feathers on him, but they couldnt bother putting some eyebrows on the boy - I think it looks bad whatever the reasoning

[@johnpaulkeller5450]

***** So just because someone can't make a video game means that they can't critique it's art design. Got it. Better tell IGN, The Escapist, GameTrailers, Kotaku, Polygon, PSU, Game informer and anyone who makes game reviews on youtube they're out of a job, since you can't be a critic unless you're able to make a superior game to the one you're reviewing.

[@johnpaulkeller5450]

***** I mean, you should have seen how the general community reacted to Duke Nukem Forever then. Just some advice, and really I mean no offense when I say this, but people are entitled to their opinions. It doesn't mean that you have to agree with these opinions, just understand that people have them. Don't get so offended when people don't agree with you.

[@MewMuh]

Everyone expects the creature to die, but as Fumito Ueda said in a interveiw, he wanted to surprise people with the ending and the way everthing unfolds. I don't think the creature will die. I hope something more exciting happens as he stated in the interveiw.

[@tobydapunk]

You got your wish.

[@horokeusensei]

2:15. Well, the horizon is walled for story reasons. But I dont know how much of the story itself was already developed by that point.

[@clay8949]

[@runyoudownquick5201]

Thanks for this, I've never seen either trailer until now. Interesting to see all the progress & changes from what must have been early builds. Now even more changes that were seen in the PS4 build. A collectors edition of the game detailing the journey would be great.

[@alphawolfgacha1358]

[@partysnaxx]

Boot Gaming They didn't delay it, It was very large and incredible game and took lots of code and the creators put so much detail into it. Therefore, this game took about 7 years to create, cool, isn't it?

[@misha3479]

1:47 I love how they added a tiger chuff for one of trico's sounds :3

[@KarimJovian]

is it me or the left looks a little better at times :/

[@bennyharvey6710]

At all times as far as lighting is concenred but that's always the case, they always overestimate visuals in those proof of concept trailers

[@misaeltoral508]

SPOILER ALERT The final scene from the game is actually based on the first scene in this trailer it seems.

[@RebornGalaxy]

and 5-6 years later it's rewritten to x86 arch for ps4

Games are an art. I love games that I can actually play. Screw interactive movies and shooters man. What is exciting when all AAA games look the same now

[@ignatiuswilliam308]

the game is pretty sad

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

It's quite obvious that Trico will die, but you never know. I would guess it too, likely that the title is reference to Trico, but maybe the story displays that when Trico dies, the boy must grow up, face the problems on his own, and become the Last Guardian. This is storytelling 101. Team Ico somewhat touched on this in Shadow of the Colossus when we thought the horse died.

[@Dynja-kaiR]

1:12 I prefere the latest version The hesitation in the old trailer makes the bird seem more like wild beast, where in the new one the bird just smacks him love the sound effect though Can't wait for this fucking game

[@timmadone8930]

Now that we know Trico has a Plapatine tail that can shoot out lightning, it seems more appropriate that his tail would be featherless. Maybe it becomes that way as you use the weapon more often. I think it's safe to assume that Trico's appearance will change as you progress further into the game.

[@siqxyre8473]

Tim Madone you are right! Tricos wings get more healed and as you eat more barrels his horns grow larger

[@Azeriy]

aaaawwwww trico is so fluffy

[@KeesusChrist]

First boy looks better, and more unique. The other boy looks good too but he just makes me think of Aang.

[@ElvenRaptor]

Considering that Aang is based on the same cultures The Boy comes from, I would hope there would be some similarities between them.

[@erinocelotl3578]

to be honest i think the first version looks more feminine XD. i like the new one and the old one too but it would be cool if you could choose between both versions.

[@kiileielei8189]

Nice ending Trico is back to the cave while the child is back to the village

[@akuma4323]

yes

[@kaei4806]

Kiilei Elei i think its not nice because they will be missing each other and who will be the one feeding to trico? 😭damn so sad.. i'm worried about trico

[@ffx5846]

Did you even see the post credit ending? Trico even had a little trico! Both of them live a happy long life!

[@kiileielei8189]

Yes indeed I saw it it is a happy ending!

[@kiileielei8189]

I don't know Well you may have the point. As far as I imagine yes ur rite, who's gonna removed the spears and feed him and the little trico? But as the ending shows Trico with little trico and the child is now a grown up man who aimed one more time the disc in the air and Trico acknowledge the signal. (If you ever happened to see the ending). I have the collector edition! How about U? Did U finished the game yet? Kiilei

[@jassijoanna3466]

damn that ending hit too hard

[@Charliem1994]

People don't understand. The reason why the character has bright looking skin in the final version is because it's the art design, also the same affect appeared in the previous games (ICO< Shadow of the Colossus).

[@funkyfizz87]

beutiful game, i played on a standerd ps4 and not one problem, glitch or lag, just the sheer atmosphere and bond in this game is a must have

[@maning04]

@Neuf8 no actually the left side was their first design and the right side is their final design of the game, the right side is more detailed and remodeled

[@XdotHackX]

It is by the same creators, which is Team ICO. The video here is a comparison of Trico and The last guardian's trailers. Project Trico was basically the idea, concept, and prototype/beta of The Last Guardian. Shadow of the colossus also had a prototype/beta called Nico. You can find a video of Nico here on youtube. I hoped this cleared things up. :)

[@lafincow12]

I've been up to date since the very first news of this game emerged, its not cancelled.

[@cherrykamino]

This was a very amazing game I miss it so much

[@TheJoshider]

well thats what i read in an interview ages ago when the game was scheduled for a 2011 release. happy meaning could actually mean anything. maybe he dies, but 'lives on' in some form of heaven

[@TheTallnose]

Epickisame : Ico is the name of the boy that we play in ... well, ICO ^^, NICO means "next ICO", Trico can mean "tri" an "ICO" (third project of the team ICO) and in japanese, toriko means prisoners (the creature seams to be a prisoner in the beginning)

[@emlmm88]

No gamestop called personally called everyone who had a preorder and refunded us because it was "cancelled" the reason no one else did was because sony didn't permit it and they quickly made gamestop take it back. Gamestop still wont take preorders but, this could mean one of two things. 1- It could mean that the game really is still going or 2- it could mean that it has been cancelled and that is why it wasn't at e3, sony just wants to reveal that info themselves. The latter is more likely.

[@lafincow12]

I have been, I have a preordered mine from amazon, we don't have gamestop in the UK. It is not cancelled, Grand Theft Auto V wasn't at E3 doesn't mean that's cancelled.

[@Darkman9000]

Things I had noted were the kid in the test version looked only about 8 or so, whereas the newer one looks maybe 12-14 (like Ico). The guard in the test looked more ragdoll when struck, the new one seems almost like an animated statue (a theory I've had) brought to life, thus why it doesn't 'react' Yes, the temple seemed more "Aztec" inspired in the original trailer, now it's more traditional ruins, not unlike the Queen's castle.

[@lafincow12]

GameStop sent Kotaku the following statement regarding the suggested cancellation of The Last Guardian: "The Last Guardian has not been cancelled by Sony as we incorrectly stated in an automated call to reservation customers. Because the game did not have a specific release date, GameStop made the decision to remove the game from our system. The Last Guardian will be reinstated for pre-order when a firm launch date is known." There you have it, not cancelled.

[@recklesflam1ngo968]

It's amazing how even 11 years ago TLG doesn't appear drastically different from the ps4 launch version.

[@Haduken485]

Lmao its funny at the end he has all the arrows in him and hes like "ahh oh well imma go back to sleep"

[@GhibliFan1]

@AustinDarkwolf Resist the temptation to play SotC again just a bit longer, and the next time you'll be playing it will be in HD (and 3D if you can rock it).

[@green5310]

OK THANKS MUSIC I CAN'T BELIEVE JUST THE TRAILER IS MAKING ME CRY

[@saturos13]

Man I know this game is gonna make me Cry

[@EvanSawyer4]

the latest i've heard is Fumito Ueda is no longer with sony since the beginning of the year. Although i'm sure he'll see TLG through to the end, this might be pushing the release quite a bit. Damn it, why do things have to happen, and why can't i stop trying to know about them

[@Concreteowl]

it would be a twist if the tragic ending (and we all know it's coming) is that the boy dies saving Trico. The boy is the last guardian not Trico. The final coda could be a giant and ancient Trico protecting his grandchildren from hordes of humans remembering that not all of them are monsters.

[@Gioxtream]

The right side of the video looks way better !!!! What type of software was used to create this amazing effects????

[@10191927]

Wow, the graphics on the right hand side look so realistic. What a jump from the original trailer. Goes to show the power of the PS3.

[@elviswjr]

It's funny how it was so demanding, the PS3 couldn't even handle it, but when they released it on PS4, people complained about how outdated the graphics were.

[@bliglum]

SONY!!!!! Please don't drop the ball on this one!!!!!! One of the biggest games in this generation imho... Please PLEASE PLEASE!!! I am really looking forward to The Last Guardian....

[@salvatormuruato2347]

9 Años de espera, ojala sea el proximo Shadow of the colossus. Si no es así el PS4 se va mucho a la mierda.

[@PouresMaggie]

This game is the reason I bought PS3. It's been so many years, I can barely handle the wait! I'm sure it'll worth it though, just like ICO and SotC did!!!!

[@ウェスリー]

equally beautiful

[@calebv123]

Ooooh! That's the OLD trailer. I watched a trailer that had the new one first, then showed the older one. I thought the older trailer was a flashback, showing how Trico (the creature) had done all of those things with a DIFFERENT boy, in the past before the city was ruined.

[@TheBandkanon]

*Sniffles* In comparison to Shadow of the Colossus and Ico, something tells me this one's story is much warmer. Oh, it makes me so sentimental and weepy for disquieting reasons!

[@gmannumerouno]

***** true, and same here I've been playing Shadow of Colossus and ICO again recently.

[@nidhoggstrike]

I don't like how they have removed all colour. I didn't complain about the lack of colour in Shadow of the Colossus, because the PS2 had problems with texture memory and so I assumed that was the reason. Besides, it was part of the storytelling(paler hero, desert landscape). This time I expected far more colour though. And still they have sucked all the colour out of it. I still expect The Last Guardian to be a revelation like the past two games were, but now it'll be a revelation in...gray.

[@amirpliev]

you know at first i didnt know it was so cool

[@luckymouse1988]

I liked the temple designs of the target render a lot more than the temple of the actual trailer...

[@theblackhedgehog48]

Thank you for posting this. Overall I like the E3 2009 trailer better.

[@datacentre81]

The original looked more like a previs really. I don't think Team Ico wanted it to be leaked. btw, can't wait for this game!

[@Kupo_Kaachan]

Both of the trailers looks great in my opinion

[@marzbarz5293]

why is the video 8 minutes, and 4 minutes???

[@shadowmsc7278]

Trico looks creepy in the original trailer

[@emlmm88]

You haven't been following it that closely then or you didn't have a preorder for the game. Gamestop called everyone with a preorder saying that they would be refunded because the game was cancelled. Again sony denied this but, seeing as the last guardian wasn't at e3, this might just be sony waiting to deliver the news themselves.

[@seven1five]

We know how you role Team Ico! games gonna make us weep.

[@Jay200cob]

thumbs up, if you also thinks that the grafic is way better in 'The Last Guardian' trailer, but the lights fail in the beginning and under water!

[@BGAMESBrasil]

Great video!! Congratulations!!

[@Blizzhobbs]

PLEASE make a shadow of the colossus 2 or ATLEAST an hd remake of the original. I'm pretty sure they could just re skin the engine used in this game. Would only take like 6 months to remaster a beloved title that would make them millions. Probably only a little over a year to make a new game. Doesn't need alot of story, or voice acting, just a ton of colossi, environment detail, and music :)

[@ParzivalTheThird]

So The Last Guardian is a remaster/remake of the game Trico? Just like Shadow of the Colossus PS2/PS3/PS4? I never knew that 🤔

[@manimanistatue]

Parzival no. It’s the same game, it just took them 9 years to make and so graphics were upgraded when they moved to PS4

[@petkannaa]

@hola4adola i means open world games, like when you are allowed to explore the world in the game (searching a moment ago though)
