After SotC, this looks pretty bad. Hopefully we will see some real gameplay soon, because that video did nothing for me.

That rat thing is some seriously hideos character design. I hope to god it's changed massively for the final game.

I disagree! That mess of a thing is adorable.
 
Looks a whole lot more unique and interesting then pretty much every other game out there. Can't wait to see more and how it's progressed.
 
It's obviously early but it seemed like a nice mix of ICO and SOTC. I can't wait to see what it looks like now so hopefully it's at Sony's E3 conference in some form.
 
This video is in engine but it is scripted so that helps the frame rate quite a bit. The main character is clearly a placeholder or has several texture mappings turned off.

This is the real deal folks and I am so glad it's looking so promising.

Its a baby griffin. notice at the end it has arrows in its fur.

My wife is a huge fan of Ueda's games and the first thing she said is 'look at the arrows - the bastard is going to kill him' (sad face). This should be interesting to see how it turns out because its obvious this trailer is just a small, miniscule fraction of what we are going to see in this game.
 
I'm already in love with the scenario. Ueda's style of making "ugly" or "average" looking characters only enhances the believability of the game world. Combine that with the excellent animation of all of Team ICO's games and you start to see living, breathing characters. Can't wait to see how the two characters' bond develops.

I do hope that this is much more open world than ICO was, ideally something like SotC where you could always just wander around the game world and explore the smaller details put into the game. That plus the style of exploration of ICO (plenty of jumping, tip-toeing, and climbing to reach obscure places) and it's my dream adventure game.

You're dead inside. I bet you don't even have a pulse. No wonder you have Sidney Crosby as an avatar.
 
So if they're allowed to show this old footage now, is it safe to assume they'll be showing a more updated look/build at E3?

HOLYSHIT. That looked so good. Didn't we see that hole + chain image before? I have. This is real.
Yeah, it came out in January 2008.

Which probably means this video was made in 2007.

Looked really good but I'm gonna guess it could be proof of concept footage , the final game is probably a boy and his beast just doing shit. Cool idea.
 
I'm not entirely sure this is about video games, but...cool. Looks like my daughter may like whatever it is.

Some of the visual effects were awesome. Some were abysmal.

But this is old footage right? New to us obviously, but over a year old?

I want to see more.

Remember that Yoshida refers to them as Olympic Team. SoTC came out in 2005.
Well, based on their previous games, not this one. It's all conjecture until we hear something from SCEI/Ueda.

Why do people even say this? His style isn't THAT similar to Hayao Miyazaki's.

It's that mixture of gentle whimsy, fantasy, innocence and melacnholy. It's more about tone than style.
 
WTF!! Someone, somewhere, is going to get fired over this leak....
Hopefully we will see an updated version at E3....

If all these leaks continue there will not be anything new for E3!!??
:lol

I think so. Theres no way they can tip toe around it. At the very least every person there will be asking about it.

Sony Japan Studios have had a habit this generation of announcing games when they're very close to being released.
True, and Ueda is being aloud to show it when he's completely happy with it I believe. It could be announced at E3 and be out this year, but I doubt it. 2010 I think.

Look, I get what you are saying, but this game looks far from bad. Most of SotC was and ICO was about jumping around, running across vast fields, and slaying creatures. What in gods name makes you think this game wont be any of that and much much more? This game looks amazing, how can anybody say it looks remotely bad must be out of their mind. The hideous creature will grow on us...
