4) The Last Guardian
Although theyve only got two released games under their belt, Team Ico are one of the most revered, loved and admired game studios working today for two very good reasons: Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Both games were strikingly different to their contemporaries when released and both stand out as classics of the PS2 generation. Their spiritual successor, The Last Guardian, has been dubbed as something of a melding of the two, blending the key game mechanics of both along with Team Icos unique, signature art style. Taking place in another ancient city, it tells the simple story of one boy and his cat/dog/eagle/thing. Its and this is not a term to be used lightly pretty breathtaking to behold, but nothing has been seen or heard of the project since an improved version of a leaked trailer at TGS 2010, and what was shown then was much the same as the year prior. Following that, the Godfather and genius behind Team Ico, Fumito Ueda, left Sony in December of 2011, leaving some question as to the future of the project. Although a tragic loss for Sony, Ueda stated he will stay on to complete the project and that the help of Santa Monica Studios has been enlisted. Encouraging as it is to hear get reports about the games development, nothing really establishes promise like a new trailer. Given that its been nearly three years we last saw anything new of The Last Guardian, its about time Team Ico gave us something to remind us the game is still alive and (hopefully) well.
