Last Labyrinth will be available on Epic Games Store this summer & Store page pre-release! May 24th, Tokyo – Today, AMATA K.K. This is the first of five pieces celebrating our Games of the Generation from the hardware cycle just gone. And if it’s anything like what has come before with The Ico Trilogy, but especially with what was made within The Last Guardian? You can massively count me in. You can only begin to imagine what genDesign and Ueda have cooking up next, especially with massive backing from Epic Games and meaning that Ueda’s work will finally be available to a lot more audiences beyond PlayStation (more than likely anyway). It is incredibly endearing and belongs in the same conversation alongside the likes of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus as among the best games of all time. A story that feels heartfelt, wonderful and triumphant at times. It has a story that feels just as memorable as it did in 2016 and especially in light of what is going on in the world right now. It’s those particular elements that still hold up massively after nearly five years. The Last Guardian definitely had its faults as alluded to, but its heart and character more than make up for those. Trico’s AI felt like a big step forward in how to make AI for characters and relationships in games like Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us 1, Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance in Half-Life 2 and, to tie it back into one of The Last Guardian’s predecessors, the boy and Yorda in Ico. Yet, The Last Guardian’s warmth, charm and rich storytelling, as well as its art direction, setpieces and utterly incredible soundtrack – something that is as timeless as it was when it first arrived in 2016 – felt more than enough to carry on even with those issues in mind. To say the least of its controls being an utter slog. ![]() But the thing about those issues is that they would be enough to derail most games. It didn’t matter which PS4 you were playing it on, a standard PS4 or a Pro, they were there (but they were worse on a standard PS4). It had some serious framerate and slowdown issues. This isn’t to say The Last Guardian didn’t have flaws. Yet, nine years after development began, The Last Guardian not only came out, it was just as special as the two predecessors that came before it. Considering those metrics and the length of time it was in development for since 2007, the writing felt like it was on the wall for the game. A set of Team Ico’s staff, including its leader Fumito Ueda, left Japan Studio and Sony to found independent developer genDesign. Development was seen as slow by now-former Sony Worldwide Studios president and one of Team Ico’s biggest supporters Shuhei Yoshida. The game had run into technical limitations of what the game could do on PlayStation 3. If this was any other publisher, it definitely would have been. ![]() For all intents and purposes, The Last Guardian should have been long cancelled.
