Err, isn't it? I'm assuming this is way earlier footage than the most recent build of the game seeing as how it's been over 4 years since SotC's release...

(talking about the footage here yo)
 
I like how at first you think the monster is a bad guy. They he runs up on the kid and is all "COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE."

I hope it does die in the end. Not because I don't like it, but that would make an amazingly memorable story.

Just from that trailer, wouldn't it be a rougher ending if the kid died and left the creature alone?

I hope the story plays out like in the novel, The Talisman, by Peter Straub and Stephen King. I want the monster to start freaking out as it becomes more and more savage, and then in certain situations, you need to hide from it.

Of course, you still stay friends...but when that bloodlust takes over, man oh man, you had better hide.
 
So... if you think about it, its a bat, but if bats didn't exist, this is what people would come up with, lol.

Wow, though, at the attention to detail, like the glimmering iris, and it looks so cute, too.
 
Thread is starting to move fast now, but I just wanted to say that this has "You will cry like a little girl by the end of this game" written all over it.

And I will love every damn fucking second of it. Damn you Ueda, damn you.

Had two at one point if it makes you feel better inside. :lol


Dude is a stalker plain and simple and I'll add you to PSN anytime if you think I'm all bullshitting you fyi because I ain't.
 
So they finally showed this video, it's over a year old, can't wait to see what it looks like now, from what I hear, it's amazing. Wanted to post about this for so long but was asked kindly by my source not to say anything because at the time, few people had been shown the trailer.

This is old footage, very old.

IF BATS DIDN'T EXIST WE WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL A BAT WAS, STOP COMING UP WITH THIS RANDOM HIPPIE SHIT!
 
And yeah even in this early test footage, the animation looks REALLY good. Which is where Ueda and company has always been strongest. So it follows that even though the visual end may seem somewhat weak (and this is probably alpha shit right here), the animation is shining through.

I love what I see. It is not fake, again.
 
Damn you, Team ICO. How can you be so god damn awesome? Ueda always seems to be able to tug at my emotional side with very little effort. I don't know how he does it.
 
videogames just have become an art form!

Fuck, I just noticed that the creature has small undeveloped wings. Hopefully this means that at some point the wings fully developed and we get a "Myazaki flight" moment.

i thought that while watching it and it would be the greatest moment in gaming :lol

Yeah, while I think the lightning and textures look decidedly weak, I definitely like what I see of the animation here.

I love how pissy so many of you are getting over placeholder art.

For fucking christ sake people IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO DONE

Exactly. I don't see why people care that much.

This footage was probably created as an internal trailer before they made the job advertisement, which was well over a year and a half ago. Wouldn't be surprised if this was over 2+ years old.

The main thing is that we get a concept, a look at the animation, and a general 'feel' of what this game's vision is, and it's obviously using mostly assets from the ICO/SoTC engine. So what we are seeing is probably the first work that ever began on the project a long, long time ago.

And just based upon this concept, I am absolutely stoked. ICO games are so unique, and the atmosphere/art/music are just second to none. As someone else mentioned, this is like a dream game for me.
 
This is either fake, super early footage, or a complete joke by the dev team. That dogbird thing looks ridiculously bad. This can't be legit. There's no way they go from amazing things like Ico and SotC to this.

Who knows, might just be really, really early footage with lots of placeholder stuff.

The scenery doesn't look half bad...I guess. Then again it's all made out of blocks. That rat thing is some seriously hideos character design. I hope to god it's changed massively for the final game.
 
I'm feeling melancholy already the the thought of Griffin-Rat and Ico-Boy parting or dying or being separated.

Any bets you climb on him and 'cling' with R1 to his fur and ride him like Agro, while separating and doing platforming and negotiating the environment to help him around (like Yorda in ICO).

This could be a real sequel to both; a real mixture of both.

Plus, this is clearly very real, very early prototype-stuff.
 
Why do I feel like I'm going to be heartbroken by this game :(

Pretty awesome video. I guess this is what Sev from PS Lifestyle was hinting at.
