Fumito ueda biography of william shakespeare

I finally playedThe Last Guardian. A demo of it, anyway. After a decade of waiting, it felt like coming home.

Ask any gaming nerd which sequel they've been dying for, and if they don't say Final Fantasy XV or Half-Life 3, it's this one. The Last Guardian follows Ico and Shadow of of the Colossus, two PlayStation games beloved for their minimalist design and powerful stories. Neither was a big hit for Sony, but they were hugely influential. "Ico was the starting point and proof that emotions can exist in games, kind of a wake-up call for designers," Josef Fares, who created Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, once told me.

For me, the arrival of The Last Guardian on October 25, after 11 years in development, is like the arrival of a new Star Wars. You want it to be more Force Awakens and less Phantom Menace. The demo I played at E3 suggests it will be.

The demo is a snippet from the opening sequence: a young boy, trapped in a cave with a massive creature, a fearsome beast named Trico. He's chained up and snapping at me like a frightened, wounded dog.

Moving is awkward. The boy trips and stumbles, runs awkwardly, jumps with flailing limbs. I feel that awkwardness too, holding one button to hang on while pressing another to heave myself onto a ledge.

Once I earn a bit of Trico's trust, I must release him. I climb his enormous body, grasping his feathers and lumbering up his thigh. Memories of Shadow of the Colossus rush back. That game required scaling huge, lumbering golems, finding their weak spots and driving your sword into them. Eventually I reach the collar around Trico's neck. It brings to mind the penultimate moment of a Colossus-scaling mission, and I imagine the boy plunging his sword between Trico's shoulder blades. Instead, he pulls the bolts from the chains and sets Trico free.

The enormous creature is an ally, there to help reach tricky areas or fight powerful enemies. "We want

  • Fumito Ueda was inspired

    • "Ico is definitely an inspiration," said Brothers director Josef Fares, but says that in his opinion, "even more" of an influence were 16-bit role-playing games from the Super Nintendo, like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana. "That's actually why Brothers is a top-down game," he says; the bird's-eye-view camera is meant to mimic the angles used in those early classics.

    All I can say is that I'm intimately familiar with all of those games as well and never got a Super Nintendo flashback from Brothers – from the way it wordlessly conveys the relationship between the two characters through simple gameplay actions, to the natural, quiet, serent beauty of its environments, to the way its levels are structured around giant pieces of machinery and dizzying climbs up crumbling architecture, it felt much more Ico than Secret of Mana to me.

    Another recent game being compared to Ico is Rime, by Raul Rubio's studio Tequila Works. To be published by Sony as a PlayStation 4 exclusive, Rime's debut trailer gives off some seriously heavy Ico vibes right from the start. The main character wakes up on a beach wearing a flowing tunic that looks just like the costumes worn by the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus main characters, runs and climbs through abandoned, crumbling ruins, then slashes at a group of encroaching shadow-monsters by swinging a stick around.

    "More than Ico itself, we wanted to create an evocative experience, something that it's a tale on the surface but with a touching and deep meaning under the skin," said Rubio. "In that sense, we'd say that there are very few proposals like that on games."

    Rubio says that Ico and Rime share a common ancestor. "The closest visual influence to Ico would be the Italian surrealist artist Giorgio de Chirico, who was a direct visual influence on Ico too, and how it represents emotions through architecture."
