So I've been checking out a lot of E3 Coverage. I really liked PS3's coverage especially some of the new games. I'm really excited for The Last Guardian ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4E0e-ZCn14 ). Which, by the way, I fell in love immediately with. I had a huge "awwwwww" moment after watching the trailer for it haha.

Anyone else think this game is going to be just purely amazing? I'm very curious as how the game play will be for it. Plus its by Team ICO. I read an article on Wikipedia as well and this is what they say about the animal in the game :

"The creation of The Last Guardian was partially based on the interaction between the player and the horse Agro in Shadow of the Colossus. Ueda desired to make this interaction and relation more of the central concept for the next game. Ueda also wanted to create a virtual creature that behaved as realistically as possible, avoiding "the unnatural idiosyncrasies of the virtual animal" that normally appear when virtual animals are attempted. The final creature is an amalgam of several different creatures and the approximation of their behavior within the limitation of the game's engine; the design was "deliberately unbalanced because looking strange was important here", according to Ueda. The team wanted to avoid making the animal "cute" and instead focus on achieving realistic-looking behavior with "animal-like expressions"."

Freaking loved Shadow of the Colossus also... I still play it from time to time. How interesting is that though?
