The Last Guardian – Delayed Once More

Once again The Last Guardian is delayed. You will now have to wait until December to play with our dragon-like friend. The Last Guardian was announced in 2009. With many delays it seems no one was surprised by this announcement.

Sony announced On Monday that The Last Guardian’s release date will be moved from October 25 to December 6. But Everyone doesn’t seem surprise by the delay, in fact they would rather wait for the PS4 Pro and play it with better graphical power. This is now a joke around the gaming community. This long in development and with so many delays, gamers have made a joke out of the announcement. Maybe joking about it distracts players and lessens the impact on the delay.

In the announcement Fumito Ueda (Director and Lead designer) shared the reason for the delay. “We have encountered more bugs than anticipated while in final stages of development.” “To ensure that the game delivers on the experience that the game’s creators have envisioned, we need to take the extra time to work on the issues.” Taking extra time to work on polishing a game will always benefit the game. Team Ico (developers) has been working on this game for nearly eight years and for the development time they had, that extra time might be the downfall of The Last Guardian.

The last two games Team Ico released were critically known. Their first game, Ico was released in 2001 (PS2) and Shadow of the Colossus in 2005 (PS2). Both games were released in the PlayStation 2 generation. They skipped a whole console generation to make The Last Guardian. That creates a lot of pressure on this development team.

This is a game that a lot of players were excited about when it was first announced. With all the delays players are just laughing about the game now, but this game’s development is interesting. A lot of gamers want to see how the development turned out after 8 years. I was really excited about playing The Last Guardian next month – and I am still excited, but I guess I’ll will have to wait like everyone else. Are you still excited or disappointed by the announcement?

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...
