The Last Guardian

It’s finally happened. The Last Guardian is scheduled for 2016. It’s coming, guys. It’s coming.

The Last Guardian is the spiritual successor to Team ICO’s 2001 ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus, and was first announced at E3 back in 2009. That’s six years ago. Since then, we’ve endured one of the most painful silences any developer has ever inflicted in the history of gaming. The last time Team ICO released a game was 10 years ago back in 2005, and every year since fans have held their breath at the successive E3s, hoping to hear from the Japanese developer.

Rumours were building for the last few months that this year’s E3 would finally break the silence on The Last Guardian, ever since The Guardian reported that a reliable source had told them the game was coming. Last December, the series’ creator Fumito Ueda said the game was going under “completely new conditions,” which many people assumed meant PS4. As the title was announced this year, the crowd exploded, with fans’ years of pent-up hype coming to to surface all at once.

Announcing The Last Guardian was a good move on Sony’s part. Not only did they get the crowd hyped up, but they also needed to have some big developments to drop after Microsoft’s stellar performance in its E3 presentation earlier. I always say the console wars are good for gamers. Let the developers fight it out – it just means more games for us.

Sadly, there wasn’t any new footage of The Last Guardian to be shown, so Sony just showed us the same footage from back in 2009. You can watch it for yourself below. The Last Guardian looks set to feature similar aesthetics to Team ICO’s previous games, set in a huge, crumbling world. The player will navigate that world this time with the help of huge dog-bird-griffin type creature. It looks amazing, even if it’s six years old. There’s no specific release date yet, but even something as vague as sometime in 2016 is great news.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
