Why does this make you wary?
>>341622894
it sounds bad.
>>341621096
what's wrong with having a narrator?
>>341621793
I think we've known that for half a decade now.
>>341623126
It's annoying and will objecitvely ruin the mood of the game.
>>341621096The boy is the narrator
Why does this game look identical to when it was a ps3 tech demo in 2009(ish) its gonna be shit. Should have just did a SotC remake with bigger colossi and world.

Downgraded:
Trico's feathers are more numbered now but smaller, I think it looks a lot worse.
Fog and color grading was changed drastically. Environments look fullbright now most of the time or just bad.
They added more bloom to the game and it's not the good kind.
Less particle effects(dust and dirt for example).
Here's smoke being downgraded and you can clearly see the lighting is completely downgraded as he climbs up the tail. Basically 10x less shadowing now.

https://youtu.be/zXLZvsSmBIs?t=310
Trico doesn't even cast shadows on his own body anymore and there shadows on the temple barely exist.
https://youtu.be/zXLZvsSmBIs?t=106
https://youtu.be/bbhwNI8LiWs?t=69
Unlit braziers so no smoke, shitty environment lighting again(look inside the building, HDR is fucking gone), and Trico still has no self-shadows.
https://youtu.be/zXLZvsSmBIs?t=374
https://youtu.be/bbhwNI8LiWs?t=94
As always, the lighting and shadows are less striking.

This is a disgrace, after nearly 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.
The game looks almost identical to how it was before but without fog and shadows mainly.
>>341623421
Because there's no way TLG was running on a ps3
>>341623126
Ico and SotC were able to tell their stories with very little narration or speech.
>>341623219
You don't even know what mood the game is going for yet though.
Unless you're adamant it be a carbon copy of Ico.
>>341624613
You bet I was.
No, I was hoping it would be like the first trailers with lots of player narration.
Not this.
>>341623126
I'll tell you what's wrong with having a narrator.
Voice over is almost always bad in all fiction and mediums. There are exceptions, but Team Ico's games are most definitely not one of them.
Basically it's telling instead of showing—the most important and basic rule of all fiction.
What makes the games great was how little dialogue there was. The minimal story was told through action and gameplay. And even the dialogue that was there was told in a language foreign to the player, so the player had to relate to the characters more through their actions.
Can you imagine in SotC if there was a voice over of the older protagonist saying something like,
>And in that moment I felt tremendous sadness for the colasus. I felt guilty for slaying the giant beast.
Instead of SHOWING the giant beast going on about it's business, until the player comes and brutally kills it, and then the beasts falls to it's knees, and dramatic music plays, etc....
tldr: It's casualised for autistic people, because the developers are afraid that players won't understand the story and emotions if they don't tell us what goes on in the protagonist's mind all the time.
>>341623667
Of course it would be downgraded, it's been in development for 7 years, they have to have made compromises to get it to work.
Ok, wait wait wait.
What language is this Narrator speaking in?
>>341623667
Top image looks better tard
>>341626012
ok
Why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that the narrator is going to be talking nonstop? We've seen plenty of gameplay without a single voice besides the boy. The narrator's dialogue will probably be the same as Dormin's: minimal and only in cutscenes
It's really no big whoop
>>341625808
The fictional language in all Team Ico games. The narrator is the protagonist.
>>341626376
The only person who talked about playing the game says he talks nonstop.
The gameplay we've seen wasn't near final apparently or the boy doesn't talk within those 10 minutes.
Now there are two dog-chickens?
>>341621096
> For starters, it literally is a narrative: A older male voice, evidently the young protagonist many years after the events of the game, narrates the game as a sort of memoir or reminiscence. This doubles as both a storytelling mechanic and as a hint system; linger too long over a puzzle and the script will provide an oblique clue. The game doesn't precisely solve itself, though; for instance, in one area you need to squeeze through a tiny opening, which isn't entirely obvious. Fumble around too long in search of the answer and eventually the narrator will mention that he and beast "followed the source of the white smoke" to advance, which is your cue to hunt for some white smoke, in case you missed it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but the article literally says its unobtrusive
>>341628138
So it works exactly like Dormin in SotC
>>341628138
Oh boy...
>>341628542
except this one tells you what you should be thinking and narrates the story
dormin just gave you tips

I mean, sure, maybe, but the people who have actually played it seem to have no problem with it so maybe cool your tits for a sec and wait to see how it plays out
