If I had a shiny pound coin for every time I posted an article relating to a Team ICO game, I'd b♏e rich. Rich I tells you! Moving past my dreams of sunning myself on Colossus-endorsed dosh on a beach in the Bahamas, this year’s Tokyo Game Show has been absolutely massive for fans of the Japanese developer. Not only have we been treated to a surprisingly upbeat new trailer for The Last Guardian, but Fumito Ueda even treated us to a quick video of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on PS3.

First off, lets cast our peepers on some new Last🌞 Guardian-based loveliness…

Thoughts? Well, it’s all a bit surprisingly jovial and happy, ain’t it? Maybe it was the Miller’s Crossing music. Perhaps it was the fact we were convinced the colossally cuddly Trico was going to bite it come the end credits. But we were honestly expecting Guardian to follow in the melancholy size 200 footsteps left by Shadow of the Colossus. Not that we’re complaining, of course. A more upbeat adventure after Team ICO's fairly sober PS2 classics could well be a refreshing change. Even the hand-drawn Sony logo at the start of the video suggests the developer is t꧂aking itself a little less seriously thꦑis time out.

At the TGS presentation, Fumito Ueda (the game’s director) also offered some damn tantalising nuggets of information. First off, he alluded to the dynamically changing environments, although he was understandably reluctant about giving too much away. Our take? Trico’s huge weight will most likely cause many structures in the environment to crumble and collapse (just look at the bridge near the end of the video). This will probably mean you’ll have to constantly look for new ways to traverse the enviꦍronments with the boy, as the elephant in the room or… eh, huge griffin beastie, accidentally destroys potential paths.

From the glimpses we’ve seen, it looks like the game might well be closer to ICO than Colossus in spirit. Trico may look like it♛ has more in common with the latt♕er’s towering beasts. But we suspect guiding it about will actually mean it’ll share more in common with ICO’s princess Yorda. At any rate, the game looks like it predominantly revolves around controlling your giant pal with food and other treats in return for it helping you to navigate the game world and also for protection against those creepy looking guards.
