The Last Guardian Tech Analysis: Nine Years of Development in 14 Minutes 

they said if fans were not begging so much for a release this game would be cancelled

It wouldn't look like this on PS3 and run at a playable framerate.

"It looks like a last-gen game," was the first thing that came to mind. Not groundbreaking at all.

Lucas Oblivion HDR at 4k, don't look last gen to me.

ATH3X G Hardly groundbreaking, and not what I was talking about. I'm referring to character models, textures, physics, etc. You can run GTA SA at 4k and slap on HDR, won't make it look like a next-gen game.

*****​ Do you own aHigh end 4k HDR tv, and the physics, textures and character models have some of the most realistic movement I've ever seen. Fucking xbox fans.

Prince Dizzy except one Xbox fanboy, an unfair review name Fat crapgamer

Daddy Keemstar, shit purchase? LOL it's getting some great reviews beggar.

I seriously don't see how people can take that clown seriously at all? His channel is a walking parody at best.

+Daddy Keemstar Yeah lets all ignore all the great reviews and the positive community reaction and instead listen to a PC fanboy hating on yet another Console exclusive video game LOL !

You people still exist? I thought fanboyism died down a little in the last few years. I guess it must be a new generation of insufferable kids.

Hugo Azevedo • The Last Guardian • Plays great Pick one.

+EMARCEUS Make some sense.

@@Tomato-lr2yu eh, I can deal with some gameplay mechanics.

It's actually a great game.

this is more of an interactive animation than a game,if it was released as a animation nobody would give a shit about it but since its a game its automatically 10/10 ,this is why i don't own a console all of the exclusives are cinematic interactive movies with barely any gameplay and replay value

Polo Surf triggered

Polo Surf so salty

Polo Surf not as creepy as you tho

PROPHET GAME why? Is it racist to you???

AmericavJapan 1909 No it just looks weird and distracting. Everything else looks fairly realistic, but that kid looks like a crayon. It's bothersome. Literally nobody looks like that.

***** just ignore little boy.

hes asian and his name is Billy Lo

Y'all motherfuckers need to play ICO

Fernando Ramirez feel bad for people who buy a no brain games and spent more on dlc it lol

Why? If they're enjoying it what does it matter to you?

Fernando Ramirez Money is just something that can be spent. The emotions from the game - it costs 200$.

Yeah!! Let us enjoy our outdated spec games and spend more money then what it's worth!

better than buying a 70 bucks game while paying 30 extra for dlc.

PriestRipper but not in WiiU

At 15 fps locked maybe.

Espartano 301 Wii U could do it consider the Wii U have a better GPU and more RAM

No way, if shadow and global illumination are missing, with minor physics (like first trailer of Project Trico), maybe can run this at 720p at 15-20 fps on PS3. Even with all this, it would be difficult achieve this performance.

He said that the 2009 trailer was running at 15 fps on a ps3 and then sped up. You are not really good at paying attention right?

I guess to give it a more Dream-like look.

The Wii U has a limited color range via HDMI. That probably gives the illusion of the whiteness. The Switch will probably improve upon that.

Red Dead Redemption on PS Now is the exact same game on PS3. All that's different is that it is streaming the game.

Rito Rodriguez They have a watch dogs 2 video

There is no HDR for this game If I remember right.

AJ Singh There is bro, it goes on automatically, but you can turn it off manually through the PS settings. I just wanted to know which one they preferred.

xXSwegAFIluuminatiBruh360AnD420BlAzEItXx Raygoza the E3 2009 render looks like hot garbage compared to the final game.

It was only improved because they finally got some good tech, if the game started from the ground up to be a primarily PC game, like the first Crysis, I doubt it would have ever looked like hot garbage at any points in development. I will admit that I doubt the game would have been as mainstream as the final game is now, since it there would be in a "But can it run The Last Guardian" type of situation. Also I meant the game they had at the time, since the E3 2009 footage had to be sped up to keep a frame rate, a simple port to the PC could have solved that and the game could have released much earlier. Of course they improved everything since they devs finally have the technology now.

xXSwegAFIluuminatiBruh360AnD420BlAzEItXx Raygoza Oh my god, your name is long, VERY LONG, EXTREMELY LONG, WAY TOO LONG!

Counterpoint Twofold still all the exclusives really made it shine near it's mid life.

well just look at how much performance sucked for early next gen games... a big part of why the Pro has mirrored GPUs and the same CPU. Even tho the PS3 CPU was powerful they regretted it when it came to games being ported to the PS3. PS4 is way easier to program for however it's kinda the opposite to PS3 as PS4s API is GPU bound instead of CPU. And as anyone who knows about the difference between CPU and GPU, it's complex math one by one vs simple math all at once... bascially

Smooth Mercenary Ironically the ESRAM buffer in the XO is like the hardest thing on next gen to program for.

Counterpoint Twofold it's kinda like what the ps2 had.

Is it? in what manner? I thought the PS2 CPU and GPU were easy to program for hence it's immense library which I believe is one of the biggest along side 360 which was also fair easy to program for... tho the PS2 was actually not the most powerful console of it's generation. Sony decided to go with the PSX in the PS3 an 8 core 3.2Ghz that had 6 cores available, 1 core for OS and 1 disabled so they could increase yields from production compared to the 360s 3 core 3.2Ghz... tho Sony shot themselves in the foot because they thought developers would only have enough resources to develop for one platform. One other thing the let that kinda let down PS3 was that it used half it's RAM as VRAM rather than the full 512mb being system RAM like on the 360.

dawie Because gameplay is better than graphics and it was PS3 game but I guess you’re too dumb to realize that.

Andrew And yet it still plays games better than a console, which is supposedly built for them.

SirZephy Try to play tLG on PC then, clever boy

I already own both consoles for exclusive titles only. If I have a choice then I'm going to pick up the game on PC because it's superior.

Animals didn't evolve to be cute, I assume you're talking about Trico.

hate speech graphic violence

No.

Did you even watch the video?

Rookie458 your joke sucks

***** Its the truth.

Adam Bolton I was very optimistic about this game..but my gut keeps telling me to go get the damn game.

MrCashmere101 Do it!

Adam Bolton I'm going to. Thanks brotha👍

Play ICO and Sotc, pretty sure you will change your mind about TLG

diego cordioli For me: TLG > Ico > SOTC

Justin Stewart not playing outdated and badly performing games is a bad thing now lmao?

Justin Stewart the controls are shit and gameplay is repetitive. all you do is jump on eeco, spam r1 and pray he goes the right direction.

Aayush Sharma eeco? LUL.

If it ain't 60 fps it ain't worth playing :)

Aayush Sharma Do you own this game?

ThatGamer just play the damn game and have fun you fuck!

+kublaikhan1215 I agree. Too much attention to visuals. You buy a game to play it not just look at it.

Angel L if buy playing you mean jump on trico, spam r1 and pray he goes in the right direction, then yeah great game.

This channel is a PlayStation mouthpiece the last few months.

Kael maybe it's because PS have news?

Yeah, but the final game has much much better draw distance making you able to actually see stuff from far. That's way more important than better shadows imo.

bliglum omg such graphics

***** Yeah, tradeoffs, give and take. Shame they had to drop all the shadows though, they really added depth to the scenery. Hector Zeroni I know!! OMG! Talking about graphics in the comment section of a vid about graphics tech analysis.. Crazy!

Simone Tarenzi Dun dun DUUUUUUN!

Totally agree!

Yep, one of the greatest games ever made as far as I'm concerned. Was to be expected all along too.I don't think the buildup to the ending has ever been so INTENSE and SATISFYING in any game ever. I truly TRULY was going nuts to get to the end to figure out what was going to happen and how it was all going to come together and end.

play shadow of the colossus thats it for me

@@Sneaky_racoon_sly Already played de remake in 2018. Realy beautyfull game and i loved the bosses. It was one of my favorites of the year

Waseem B312 its gendesign, no team trico anymore.

Waseem B312 and yeah, this game will never come to PC. The same as Death stranding.

"I would love to play it on PC but that won't happen" It could if a PS4 emulator is ever developed. I hope that happens so we can make it any resolution we want and a steady frame rate. What would be even better is if it can be hacked to run at 60fps someday.

Elvis S Yes bro I hope one day we can use emulators for ps4.

looking forward to play a remastered version on PS5 )

The PS4 is struggling with 1080p too. Most games are using 900p and barely any games run with 60fps especially in Full HD.

True poor xbots users

*****​ You are mentioning one game that's graphically not very intensive and very good optimised. What exactly do you expect people to think now? That I am wrong?

It's all us console peasants on Xbox could afford. It's still great to us! We don't care that we live in the past.

The Uncanny One​​ Online payments and higher prices for games.

They've already done a frame rate analysis.

Wesley Tomsky yeah, they already analyzed the framerate. This is for visuals

ok then fair enough

***** More reason to get a pro, this is only the beginning.

+Ryo Hazuki Did you play SotC on PS2? If you did, did the framerate ruin the game? If it didn't then don't bother about fps.

I played 4-player split-screen Golden Eye at like 19 fps back in the day and it didn't matter. But it doesn't mean it'd be fine ever playing something at this framerate again. I wouldn't skip this game for the framerate alone. I'd actually get it for sure if I had a PS4. But I don't remember the last time I had to put up with bad performance for an exclusive, with games like Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 3, Quantum Break and Halo 5 all having a "framerate first" goal.

Actually the game dropped to 22fps on DF frame test. Sorry, liar

Matheus Lacerda Not in 1080p mode.

many people seem to believe that higher polygon counts mean a game looks better. i agree with you though, the art style is much more important. there are ps1 and even snes games that to me look better than many modern games. crono trigger for example is a game that impresses me more visually than ff15. although ff15 is obviously far technologically superior, it just looks so dull and boring to me. it never wowed me the way crono trigger or the ps1 ff games did and still do.

zolwikwkurwik the art style is amazing

Worst looking? The game is absolutely beautiful from an art direction point of view. In my opinion it's an absolute stunner of a game. The easiest answer is to say lack of good code optimization after being swapped around from PS3 to PS4 and then there's probably optimization issues with the physics engine they are using.

Imo it looks like a ps2 port with HD rez.

Fredrik HL if you said ps3 we might have beleived you

It's because they basically ported the PS3 code to the PS4. The game wasn't originally made for PS4 so it isn't fully optimized for the system. I have no doubt that this game would run at 60 fps with no problem if it had been rebuilt from the ground up for PS4. They could have even given it better textures and other graphical upgrades as well. I think they just wanted to get this game finished as soon as possible after delaying it for so long, and as a result, they rushed the PS4 development.

Elvis S Not smart to be honest.

I'm so glad you don't have to kill him like you do in shadow of the colossus 😢

Tiff's Right Ear - I see you all the time in JKNews

Md Ray that's not even the actual person

***** i know.
