‘The Last Guardian’ Latest Trailer: No Such Thing as Canceled Project Says Sony Interactive, Releases Demo Video

A latest demo video for the much-awaited yet bombarded with uncertainty "The Last Guardian" was made available, according to Game N Guide.

Unlike before wherein the audience where just mere spectators the latest installment from Sony Interactive lets players actually play with the demo.

You can check out the "The Last Guardian" video of the demo below.

Since 2007, "The Last Guardian" has been on development, and was first made public at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 with a planned release in 2011 exclusively for the PlayStation 3 console. Most gamers have already shelved it as part of those videos to be included in video game development limbo.

In "The Last Guardian," the player controls a young boy who befriends a giant half-bird-half-mammal creature, Trico, and the two work together to evade guards that are after them both. The player must manipulate Trico as they would a real animal, such as luring it with food, to use it to reach high platforms or other remote places, while evading enemies.

However, Trico's so-called "obedience training" has received some flak from testers.

With some players commenting on the tediousness of sweet-talking the supposedly "man-eating beast" to hop to a certain platform or moved to a specific area that a player wants, the maneuvering of the large animal is said to be akin to giving instructions to a lost puppy. These elements somehow as believed won't work well for the narrative of the video games as well as in its gameplay, as mentioned in IGN.

"The Last Guardian" is being developed by genDESIGN and SIE Japan Studio, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The ongoing project is designed and directed by Fumito Ueda, and shares stylistic, thematic, and gameplay elements with his previous games, "Ico" and "Shadow of the Colossus."
