History WMG / TheLastGuardian

[[WMG: ''The Last Guardian'' is going to be released on PS4.]]
* When you think about it, it makes a fair amount of sense. While 2011 wasn't exactly the end of the 7th generation, TLG was still ''very'' early in development at the time of its announcement. Considering the fact that there wasn't much said afterwards, it's entirely possible the devs took the safer route and started programming it for PS4 and are going to announce it again at a later date.

[[WMG:The Last Guardian is a prequel of ''ShadowOfTheColossus'']]
* The boy in the game is one of the people who used to live in the Forbidden Land, and the creature, Trico, is a young 'Colossus', in a state of life before it becomes somehow tied to a certain area of the land. By releasing it, the boy has messed with this cycle, and this will be part of the 'story'. The title, 'The Last Guardian', refers to Trico itself in that the other Colossi have already been 'tied down' to an area of the world and Trico is the only one who has not. Judging by the size of the world and that the Colossi are all guarding specific structures, Trico was meant to be the Guardian of the central Temple from [[ShadowOfTheColossus SotC]].
** Notably, the boy lacks horns. Given that HornedHumanoid is pretty much {{TeamICO}}s trademark [[spoiler: and it's confirmed that Wander starts the HornedHumanoid line at the end of ShadowOfTheColossus,]] it's a pretty safe bet to say that this game takes place before the events of ShadowOfTheColossus.

[[WMG: The final boss will be a [[ShadowOfTheColossus Colossus]].]]

[[WMG: The reason it hasn't come out yet is Sony are deliberately delaying the game so that Fumito Ueda is contractually forced to stay with them, and cannot work with any other publisher.]]

* As said in ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' Trico is too adorable to survive a [[TeamIcoSeries Team Ico]] game.

[[WMG: The Last Guardian is a Sequel to ''Ico'']]

* ''PennyArcade'': [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/6/8/ Theories]].

* NO

* It'd follow from what happened in both ''Ico'' (the bridge [[spoiler:outside the gate splits in two, Yorda is captured by the Queen and Ico falls into the moat]]) and in ''Shadow Of The Colossus'' (the bridge [[spoiler:to the final Colossi collapses and Agro helps Wanda across before falling to his not-really-dead-death]]). In those times the player was separated from said companion so it could happen again as a running theme.

[[WMG: ''The Last Guardian'' will [[DevelopmentHell become]] the next ''DukeNukemForever''.]]

Given that the main feature of the game is working with a giant Griffon, the ideal of fighting a creature that even dwarfs it is to epic to pass up.

The soldiers are the precursors to the Smokemen, possessing armor before merely being the living shadows they are known for being.

[[WMG:The story will lead into Ico, and reveal how the castle came to be.]]
