The Last Guardian (Trico, Ico 3, Shadow of the Colossus sequel, etc.) [PS4]

[Tkumpathenurple]

I played this within a couple of months of getting a chihuahua puppy with very similar markings.

Obviously I was a wreck after playing and gave him more treats than he really wanted.

I'm a mildly claustrophobic cat lover, so all the sections which had you try and get Trico to squeeze himself through holes and tunnels entirely too small for his considerable frame had my stomach tied up in a knot.

 

[Karamazov]

i don't wanna go through that final gameplay sequence ever again. Ever.

 

[DieH@rd]

I am planning to replay it once again when I move to HDR TV [hopefully this summer]. But I'm not rushing to replay it. I'll maybe try to time it before next game from Ueda comes out.

Spoiler

So... in 5 years.

And also, IMO, Trico is a mutated cat. Not a dog.

 

[Tkumpathenurple]

Nah, it's definitely more dog-like: it doesn't quietly hate you.

It's beautiful, it definitely has its spectacular moments with HDR, but you'll find much better examples of HDR in other games.

I just noticed that they modeled even the privates on Trico...anus and.....she looks like a female

[Nesh]

I really wasnt expecting that
I havent fed her enough probably

 

[Sigfried1977]

You get a trophy for that actually. "Caught in the act" I believe it is called

Maybe his genitals are modeled after birds, whose males also have a chloaca.

From the collector book about the game:

"Trico's model is made up of 47 253 polygons, excluding its plumage. The plumage (20 420 feathers) is made of an additional 337 691 polygons."

 

[Tkumpathenurple]

So what gender do we reckon Trico to be? Personally, I imagine female because of how cuddly she is.

That, and the lack of a massive, swinging griffin todger. Although I take milk's point that it needn't have one to be male.

 

[Karamazov]

the very end of the game gives us a good clue about that

It does, but

Spoiler

we don't know if it was Trico or the freed enemy griffin-cat-huahua that popped them out

 

[Karamazov]

well there are no hanging balls under there so...

That’s a lot of geometry, and even crazier to think that

SPOILERS!

There are so many on screen at the same time at the end of the game, all looking the same with the plumage. Not that the frame rate is very stable but when I saw that I thought my PS4 would blow up in a million pieces.

 

[Tkumpathenurple]

Does it say something bad about me that about an hour into the game, I caught a glimpse of Trico's bumhole and spent the next few minutes trying to see if there's a snatch there too?

 

[Karamazov]

You are just in a quest for the truth !
We should ask Laa Yosh as he worked on the CGI commercial, maybe he knows
