Some people seem to be reporting that the camera has less of a dead zone. Haven't had a chance to get some hands on time with the game though I did DL the update.

How? I've tried aiming the camera in all directions and pressing R1. At first Trico jumped up to my right and something collapsed so he leapt back down again. Now he's just sitting below me putting out his paw but not moving regardless of what I do.

Thanks. Never had to press triangle before to make him jump. Always been point the camera + press R1.

I've uploaded some of the weird head glitching from Trico. What in the * is going on here?

Just keep at it. He will eventually jump up. At least he did for me.

Looks like the damn Exorcist to me. Damn. Never had him do that before.

In the end, it was worth the wait. Ueda is somehow still doing things ahead of curve. Trico works as some of the most impressive, brilliantly different AI. You actually learn from Trico. Trico's curiosity will actually help solve puzzles, but not in a contrived NPC way. Given the stimuli around him, we will be drawn to things in natural order.

Sweet! I'll have to try it out when I get the chance.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Im still relatively early on in the game (when you first start facing enemies) and it being holiday season, my parents decided to sit down and watch me play TLG.
The first thing my dad asks me: what kind of animal is that? I said I assume its a mix of several animals. My mom shows up a while later and first question she asks: what kind of animal is that?
My mom had a good laugh when I threw Trico a barrel which it failed to grab and then it pawed the barrel for a bit sheepishly before eating it.
They both seemed fascinated with Trico. Cant blame em since NES is really the only gaming system theyre familiar with or ever played.
Fantastic game.

Well this sucks. This is one of those rare games that do not record the ending with Share button. I've tried twice now and it shows its recording but ends up not doing it.
Lol wut??

So how many game of the year awards has this won? Cause it deserves a lot of them.
I assume that ICO and Shadow of the Colossus were similarly ignored.
I love this game. 3 out of 3 from Ueda. I hope we don't have to wait nearly as much for his next game.

Only one or two, I think. Camera and controls kept it from winning pretty much everywhere unless art was the lone deciding factor in judgment making.

When I knocked the other trico away and it left and I went over and started to pull out the spears and Trico started to fall, I was no no no no-ing :'( I sat with Trico for a while and just pet him :'(

Yeah mainly because it came out so late. Most December games don't register when taking in account for the year because they do them in November then by next year anything Dec-March is forgotten.
Despite its flaws, this is absolutely my game of the year. I found myself frustrated with controls on occasion, but I don't think they bothered me as much as many other folks. There are just so many good things I can say about this game that those elements simply don't detract from my experience.
I'm so glad this game came out.

How the
heck
you did. you can look in the spoiler thread for screenshots of where it is in game
It's easily missable because it happens at only one place, on foot in a place where EVERYONE will be on Trico's back (to make a huge jump -- there's no reason for the boy to be there without Trico.)
The game's vague handling of a very important part of gameplay is a bit confounding.
It definitely picks up. Are you enjoying it on some level?
Yes, I've been elated a few times watching Trico move through the environment.
Yeah, hang with it.

This game is essentially the modern day Out of This World / Another World for me, and that is not a comparison to take lightly.

It will get ignored in the GOTY awards, sadly but that goes to show once again how irrelevant those actually are for the medium itself.
I had this too, reloading the checkpoint fixed it.

I never thought of it like that before. Its a very good comparison

It's the ONLY relatable comparison. That was the direct influence that kicksarted Ueda's career as a game designer - which then inspired the creation of Demons Souls and it's subsequent Souls titles.

I finished the game about a week ago so i had to time to think and reflect back on it. I have a feeling that The Last Guardian is one of those games that will only get better in my memory as time goes by, which is what a good game is all about really.
I've already forgotten most of the flaws it most definately had (control of the boy, camera, performance on PS4 original and button prompts) and i'm remembering a wonderful and touching story about a boy and an animal set in a mysterious world. It's just so unique and unlike most of the other games out there. I have never seen a more life-like AI companion as Trico and it's amazing how a game can get so many emotions across without any dialogue.
I feel it was totally worth waiting for and i'm happy that the developers didn't give up on it. It deserves to be out there.

Man oh man what a game. Even after days everything - but especially the ending - is still in my head. I also loved the EZA talk about it. A lot of what they touched on is very recognizable. One of my favorite aspects was Trico preparing for a lunge/jump. I see my little dog in that, when he's about to make an epic jump on the couch.
I do think the experience is augmented somewhat when you have a pet yourself.

Feel the same way, I started FFXV aftee finishing The Last Guardian and all I can think of is replaying that masterpiece.

A masterpiece. This game was a breath of fresh air this console generation. There is nothing else like it.
Also, am I the only one who actually enjoyed the controls and had no problem with them? Did a lot of the people reviewing the game have played a videogame before? (let alone an Ueda game).

i'm replaying the game, and in the very first area, he says something about trico having eaten the barrel before i even threw it at him.
i think this has happened maybe 2-3 times during my first playthrough.
it's not a major issue, just a tad annoying.
They were right in line with my expectations as far as Ueda's games go, so they didn't bug me too much. I loved the game experience as a whole waaaaay too much to be too bothered by them, though there were a few frustrating moments for me sprinkled in.

I looked at the trophies after finishing and have a couple questions.
Apparently I didn't explore or get creative enough on my first playthrough.
There's one for painting Trico, but I don't remember painting. When/where does this happen?
Same question for the outfits trophy. I don't remember seeing any outfits anywhere.
