'The Last Guardian' Release Date: A Nine Year Development Journey Finally Comes To An End, But Will It Deliver?
J RoseThe long wait is finally over, and the release date of the much anticipated game "The Last Guardian" is just around the corner. But will it meet all expectations?
For Fumito Ueda, the creator of "The Last Guardian," the game's development has been along journey, but not without its usual bumps and hurdles. Now that the end of the road is reachable, even Ueda himself cannot believe that his creation will finally be played by tons of excited fans.
"Even though the game is on its way to being boxed up and going into stores and being delivered to players, it hasn't really sunk in yet for me," Ueda told Engadget. "I haven't been able to digest the fact that it's all done and completed."
"What I'm looking forward to is for everything to just really be done and all the items on the checklist to be checked off," Ueda continued. "I think at that moment, hopefully, it will register and I would feel like it's finally done. I look forward to that day."
At this point, it is clear that Ueda really wants "The Last Guardian" to be perfect, and he is also aware of the high expectations people might have about the game. The long development time has also made people wary, but Ueda understands this and has used this pressure to finish his project.
"I try not to think about the pressure that has been added or is probably assumed to be added to this title," the game creator said. "But, having said that, I don't think all pressure is always negative. It's actually kept us motivated because of the expectations that people put on our next game."
Ueda said that Team Ico has achieved exactly what he wants "The Last Guardian" to be.
"It has been carried out pretty much how I envisioned it from day one," Ueda told The Verge in a separate interview.
"The Last Guardian" will finally arrive on Dec. 6, and with the level of quality that Ueda and Team Ico have delivered, fans will surely say that the game is definitely worth the wait.
