Will /v/ hate it?
I'm not too optimistic, game looks overly cinematic and like there's barely any actual player involvement. I could be wrong but it looks like the game is very scripted and reliant on set pieces which is the last thing that I want out of a video game at this point.
It's just ICO with a griffin and I liked ICO.
>>341020880
I'm hoping it has less or the same amount of gameplay involvement as Shadow of the Colossus, which had scripted ideas but built in AI that jumped you around enough to making so you can do runs in different ways and have more variety of experiences.
We know nearly nothing about it and it has been the sonyggers holy grail despite being delayed for a decade.
NeoGA/v/ will love it.
Nobody even cares anymore.
This shit was supposed to come out literally 10 years ago
>>341020763
There's now way in hell it's going to live up to the hype, so yes.
>>341020763
I plan to make a lot of posting saying I hate it.
I don't have a ps4 so I won't play it though.
>>341021250
So before you entered elementary school?
>>341020763
Yes, because neo/v/ is against the very concept of minimalism and the idea that less can be more.
What if Trico is the final colossus with a soul vessel of Dormin, and you have to kill Trico and defeat Dormin's real form so you can make the forbidden land free for society again.
>>341020763
Yes, then after about a week or so someone will make a meme thread about memes where it's safe to say you like it if you can give it a backhanded compliments.
Most games with 14 year development time tend to not be worth the wait. Much like Persona 5 I bet there are people out there who got a PS3 just for this game.
>>341021374
I was in middle school, but I still remember this game being delayed back then.
Fuck off with this "I'm so old and knowledgeable bullshit" you're on /v/. I don't know how your life started but I can tell you how it will end.
Alone.
>>341021496
sure ps3 for the win cause ur fuggin ps4 cant int cd adio
>>341021496
it's also from a company that makes artsy short games. the impact of the game is going to be muddled by the wait, which wouldn't have happened if it didn't have all the technical issues and was released as plan. Which is a damn shame in my opinion.
>>341021749
Jesus dude don't cut yourself with that edge
>>341021749
isn't that how it all ends for us? a dark abyss of nothingness. unless you believe in a higher power that knows how to keep your existence intact. Though I'm still on the fence with that.
>>341021496
>I bet there are people out there who got a PS3 just for this game.
and those people are completely retarded for buying a console for a game that doesnt even have a release date
It looks like a shitty
>block puzzles
chore to me. Why would I like it? Good graphics and an orchestrated soundtrack does not mean the game will be fun. I mean, did you not look at the gameplay footage? How is that fun? In what continent? If I wanted to do chores I'd have a job
>>341023137
Ico dealt with block puzzles and it was a lot of fun for me. Then again the whole game wasn't block puzzles, it was dealt very naturally with its environments. Fueda himself said the whole game isn't going to be puzzles so I'm eager for something like Ico again.
>>341023461
>but ICO
was also a chore simulator, your point?
>Playstation exclusive
of course nintendogaf will hate it.
>>341020763
ICO and Shadow of the Collosus are both overrated. I revisited both of these games a few years ago and they're dull, frustrating, and just plain not fun.
For their time they were impressive but that was two generations ago, so even the awe-factor will probably be gone. It'll probably still be popular with autists but objectively speaking it's unlikely to be more than trash.
>>341023524
So if a game is built in a way where you have to do something it's a chore? You could just read a book instead.
>>341023684
If the thing you have to do is a time consuming puzzle instead of one that actually requires you to think, yes. Pushing blocks is time consuming
>read a book
I do, are you saying you don't?
>>341021415
DELETE THIS
>>341021749
>10 years ago
>middle school
No wonder.
>>341023759
finding out where to put a block is thinking like when you need to put the block over where a lever is that you might of missed. and even when its just moving a block off a cliff like at the beginning of Ico, that takes 2 seconds of your precious time. this is sounding like an egoraptor kind of complaint.
>>341024040
>finding out where you need to put the block
Takes like a fragment of the time it takes to actually push the block there.
I think you have this terrible misconception on reality
>>341024091
It really isn't that long of a time or a big deal. you should replay it or at the very least watch some gameplay

What is this mid-school tier comeback? How old are you? Why not behave like that?
>>341020763
>Escort Mission: The Game
I can't even begin to conceive of liking a game starring a large AI-powered animal navigating territory (vertically complex) which is notoriously difficult to generate navmeshes for.
The most challenging moments of the game will be trying to get the dumb-fucked AI to go where you want it to go and do what you want it to do, and retards will lap it up and call it "realism" because, hey, it's an animal, right? They don't always do what you want, right?
Meanwhile the gameplay will be an exercise in frustration.
>>341024432
it wasn't even a comeback, it's a fact, it isn't a big deal or something to be annoyed over. I'm just having trouble seeing why you think such a thing is a chore.
>>341020763
/v/ hates all exclusives, no matter on which platform they get released.
Sony exclusive? Cinematic weeb crap.
Nintendo exclusive? Kiddy casual rehash.
Xbox exclusive? Dudebro 900p shit.
PC exclusive? ASSFAGGOTS pixellated indieshit.
>>341024612
>my opinions are facts meme
Ah okay, you're still in midschool, hence the midschool-tier comeback.
I figured it was either a physically underaged or mental nutcase I was talking to, but figures it's both. Don't you have more ecelebs to reference in a conversation with an adult?
>>341024489
The game has been tucked for so long, they've had to work the AI to perfection at this point right?right??
>>341024743
so you're saying moving a block to one place is a big deal? what??
>>341024489
Holy hell. You needn't put in words I partly understand. I get it. You're no longer a child that enjoys chores disguised as video games.
>>341024834

Anon, you've spilled the salt shaker!!
There's salt every fucking where!
>>341024925
It is a fact that moving a block that takes a few seconds is not a big deal. I would be able to see it as a chore if your character didn't have such fast animation. I understand you're not going to change your mind so I'll end this whenever. run out of anime pictures.
>>341024995
nice freudian
>>341025140
you do get the entire game is based around this concept right? Or are you strawmanning again? it's rhetorical
>>341020763
Who gives a fuck if /v/ likes it? /v/, like much of 4chan, is full of contrarian dickheads who have lost the ability to enjoy life.
On that note, this game makes me wish I had a PS4, but Sony sucks.
>>341020763
/v/ hates anything that isn't obscure weebshit so probably
>>341020763
Game looks too cinematic.
What made the original good was you finding your own way both to and up the Colossi.

sotc's art is the stuff of legends and ico is a unique puzzle platformer, they're anything but overrated.
>>341025225
the game is more based on platforming in ways to bring Yorda with you to the other side. There's times where you need to use a bomb or climb rickety walls to a closed point to bring her to you.
>>341025345
This was almost a good post, but the last part ruined it.

This is /v/, that anon probably doesn't even play games anymore, they're too modern and shirt for his highest sensibilities. He just likes to complain complain games, certainly a newer, better hobby.

>>341025632
>this game is more based around
read >>>341024489
>>341025610
sotc's art was only impressive because it was on a fucking ps2. It was the first time that sense of scale could be imposed on you without it being some goofy sprite in the background.
Ico isn't unique except for in the things it does wrong box puzzles and escorting around a tard. The stick fighting was nice but with infinite health and slow ass shadow enemies you're never in danger of losing and it's not fleshed out enough to save the game.
>>341025590
>>341025643
I'll agree with you, it is hypocritical of me. I'm just salty about some stuff Sony's done in recent years. I'm a long time fan of their products, but I'm pretty fed up with a lot of companies right now.
Although I would argue I'm not being contrarian, because I'm saying this as a disgruntled customer/fan, not an edgy anon.
Its an exclusive
offcourse they will hate it
They gonna probably watch the whole game on twitch and act like they have played it
typical
Why is escorting mission used as a facetious term? lot of games don't do it well but I feel Ico did it in a way I can get behind. I found her cute and it was sweet seeing them hold hands and I wanted to find a way to save her with me. The AI never got annoying and I had a good time.
>>341025868
No, the bosses and environments are still uniquely unmatched. No other game has large monsters like this or a huge inspired landscape.
>Ico isn't unique
I can't fathom why I would even reply to this blatant shitpost. Team Ico games by default are unique because of their climbing mechanics, then they sprinkle other things on top, in Ico's case you have a follower and hand-holding which is unique.
>>341025713
yes. it was platforming with escorting too. Never found it frustrating either.
>PS4 Exclusive

>Artistic/cinematic
>Will most likely review very well

>>341026170
Whoever is playing this is such a cuck, why would you climb up before his arm plate has been shattered?
>>341026170
And skyrim has dragonshouts and the terrible new version of fallout has vats.
Having unique features is expected, it doesn't make a game automatically better than the sum of it's parts.
>>341025868
sotc's art looks impressive regardless of it being ps2 or not. It was done beautifully.
>>341026297

A majority of the loud more outspoken of /v/ will probably hate it. Meanwhile, a few anons will actually like it and will go on to suffer a few unkind words for displaying their happiness and positive opinions here.
I guess I was the only one who liked Yorda.
I had no problem escorting my pretty albino ghost girl.

Is someone actually care about this vapoware ? Last time I saw it, it looked like a PS2 remastered game for PS3, and was full of scripts. It will still be a 10/10 for "game journalists" because muh story, birdie dog die at the end.

>Otherwise what's the point?
the point is that you can play the game however you want to play it. the floaty way your character acts around the colossi is for you to take advantage of if you desire.

SotC is the only thing team ICO have made worth playing and even that almost goes too far up it's own ass with the boring as fuck exploration. ICO, and TLG by the looks of it, is barely a game.

except Ico or SOTC doesn't have a story that goes far up its own ass. It just tells it without as much dialogue and convoluted story telling.

This is a disgrace, after 10 years of Sony talking about this game it's finally a reality but it doesn't look any better than what we saw back then, it looks worse. The downgrading is real.
>b-but it was prerenedered
Fact of the matter is that the PS3 could render that old footage at 720p(trailers were in 1080p) and since the PS4 will be playing it at 1080p, to make it work at 30fps they've seemingly removed some of the graphical features. The shitty hardware can't do any better.
The game looks almost identical to how it was before but without fog and shadows mainly. If it was prerendered before(it wasn't, it didn't even look amazing graphically) it's still prerendered now(it wasn't obviously).
Gameplay looks pretty shitty too.

Not sure why the lighting isn't there but the facial expression and everything are the same, the image on the right just didn't go to the head scratch part. The ears are different, sure but it isn't too bad. Not sure why the lighting isn't there though.
>>341030280
the image was cherry picking anyway. they didn't set the animation to add up together when the new trailer scratches its head. They put Trico in a dark corner for some reason, you'd think they'd want to show off the bloom.
>>341030280
what the fuck am I suppose to do about it? It still looks like a fun game.
>>341020763
ICO was kinda dull but it was still good for its time, SotC was so much fucking better.
If TLG has big fights along with that giant bird-dog thing just like SotC, it's instabuy for me.

Well of course not, it's a PS4 exclusive.
Neo/V/ will gobble it up

>>341024751
AI tech isn't there yet.
At BEST the birdog will be a gigantic scripted set piece, but that comes with its own problems.
Did nobody else ever experience those moments in SotC where you think "I need him to swing at me to break this", but he won't swing at you, so you try other stuff for like 30 minutes, give up, look up the guide online, and then oh hey you were right it's just you didn't quite hit the invisible trigger for that animatic for just the right duration when you walked through that area?
That's what the whole game will be on a GOOD day, stumbling blindly through the world looking for invisible trigger boxes to set off the birdog animation sequence that makes the next thing possible.
On a bad day the damn thing is trying to use pathfinding algos to navigate vertically disparate voxels on a navmesh and using rule-based structures to trigger actions, which means essentially that instead of YOU hunting for trigger volumes, the AI is hunting for trigger volumes, and you're trying to bait it into them.
I don't think AI tech is at a point where it would be possible to make a game like this work well.
>but FEAR
fear re-used its trigger setpieces to excellent effect, because once you set it up so an enemy could flip a table he could flip every table. It's okay to re-use that logic in different settings in a game about shooting guns; if the whole game is just about the AI, the table-flipping gets old quick.
So, you know, look for a minimum of 27 separate instances where
>there's a pit
>there's a cracked column
>there's a thing to get birdogs attention
>you put thing near cracked column
>you hope birdog's sensory perception algos notice thing
