Despite declaring Bloodborne to be his favorite game and working on an animated movie of that, Ueda's former strongest soldier is still out there supporting the cause, thankfully.
Now Sean, please contact Andy Muschietti and get the Shadow movie off the ground once you're done with Bloodborne.
There WILL BE a gen Atlas video from me, my notes for it are mostly finished already. What kept me from making one for the teaser was just pure laziness at not wanting to edit something around the trailer so, I'm not doing that here, it's just gonna be me talking to the camera. Should film it within the next week. Thanks to everyone who still checks out this little blog, I love celebrating Ueda's games with you all.
"It's not to score points, but it's there so that it matters, and you feel that you do exist in that world."
"We did our best we could in delivering this trailer for this moment."
PC Gamer has shared 2 articles from the same Ueda interview - the framerate bit got sectioned off because so many people have been talking about it, I suppose. I'm glad I'm the kind of person who barely notices or cares about things like that.
A lot of the first article is Ueda talking somewhat vaguely about the game and his philosophy making it, but there are some interesting bits - He goes into the shooting more and what role it plays in the game, and makes a very interesting statement about large lengths of time passing in the game - I wonder if the rocket scene from the trailer could be happening at the end of one of those periods?
Did anyone say promo? A life sized replica of the Robot’s head is on display at Summer Game Fest! You can climb through the stairs at the back and take a picture with it!
The award for game dev whose games the word "clamber" is used the most in association with goes to...Fumito Ueda!!!!! Congratulations!
The Shadow of the Colossus creator shares mysterious details on his sci-fi adventure…
The first extra bit of SGF coverage for gen Atlas has been posted - it's an interview with Ueda that illuminates a lot of how his thinking with this game is similar to his thinking while making his past games.
Ueda also answers a question I have seen from some since yesterday: "Why is there shooting in the game? Did Epic ask them to add that?"
The game apparently was shown behind closed doors, but there isn't too much of a description of that and it seems like a lot is still unclear about the general game flow. We know the character has a basic "boost jump" movement option, which I think we saw in the trailer when they jumped from one part of the robot to the other.
Epic has apparently also said the game is "Closer than we think", so I am thinking a late 2027 release may be likely!
Gen ATLAS robot head at Summer Game Fest
So awesome! Hope we get some pics of the finished booth.
Gen ATLAS will be shown off to games journalists today, it looks like! We might be learning a lot more about this game than we anticipated.

Huge news - the well known Team Ico Youtuber Nomad has bought some kind of promotional disc from Sony that has NEVER BEFORE SEEN footage of the PS3 version of The Last Guardian, which he has shared. I don't even know if it would be correct to call it promotional, as it was probably shared with very few people, and includes concept art for TLG along with a powerpoint presentation detailing the development of it and the Ico/SotC remasters. Maybe it was given to shareholders?
The footage includes longer clips from a cut area that was shown in the trailer where the boy is being chased by knights, and a lot of footage of the sequence that would become the re-reveal demo from 2015. You can see clear differences in the realism and graphical quality of that sequence if you compare them, but the game shown in this footage is also still clearly the game we ended up getting on PS4. Also, the boy has a stamina meter in this footage!
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).
As a celebration of Shadow's 20th anniversary, game journalist Matt Leone has put out an oral history of the game, featuring quotes from Fumito Ueda, Shaw Layden, Kow Otani, and more!
I haven't read it yet so I don't know if there are any juicy tidbits in there, but I will soon.
Wishing a Happy 20th anniversary to SOTC's English (And 1st worldwide) release!
Flashback to this promotional rap video Sony released during TGS 2016 that includes a verse about The Last Guardian. Wonder how easy it'd be to get it translated these days.
There’s a game designer named Keita Takahashi.
I have mentioned on this blog several times that, invariably, Fumito Ueda is friends with my second favorite game dev, Keita Takahashi of Katamari Damacy fame. Recently, a journalist interviewed both of them about Takahashi's newest game, "To A T'. The interview highlights some of what Ueda and Takahashi's games have in common, even if on the surface they might seem so different.
This is an official translation from Takahashi's website. Might be a good thing to check out while we wait for more news on Project Robot!
my toxic trait is thinking I could do a film adaption of sotc correctly
I think I could as well, haha. I may have made a post about it once when I was analyzing Justin Marks' screenplay, but I forget. I do remember saying back then that outside of the extended flashback segment, Marks's screenplay is quite good, making some necessary and exciting changes (Wander not getting teleported back after every fight, having the second-to-last fight be 3 colossi one after another. The ending scene is almost verbatim from the game.
Marks is now much more well-respected due to being the head showrunner and writer on Shogun, and is likely a better writer, so I think he'd be better and braver this time around, to feel like the flashback section doesn't need to be as long or as wordy to make a palatable film.
But I know Andy Muschietti said last year he still intends to make an SOTC film, and I think he'd be quite a good fit for it as well.
I think this will all only be helped by the Death Stranding movie which will probably be fairly high-budget but also weird, complex, and idiosyncratic just like the game. If that can succeed, the likelihood of a game-accurate SOTC movie will increase even more.
damn, silksong’s development almost makes the last guardian’s look like a walk in the park doesn’t it
The time between TLG's release and Project Robot's announcement was longer than the time between TLG's official announcement (E3 2009) and its release. Crazy how time flies.
