Nu, efter hvad der ligner et årti, er The Last Guardian endelig ude, og derfor kan skaberen, Fumito Ueda, nu så småt begynde at tænke på hvordan det næste projekt kommer til at se ud.
For nylig talte Ueda netop om dette ved Nordic Game i Malmö, og her talte han blandt andet om åbne verdener, og hvordan han godt kunne tænke sig at genbesøge den designfilosofi:
"I cannot talk about the details, but... Shadow [of the Colossus] came out of the experience with ICO, [going] from a closed world to open world. When I completed Shadow, there was a moment where I wondered if I wanted to go around an open world again, and maybe I should go back to a more closed space, spending a more intimate time with something in that space. That became the starting point for The Last Guardian.
"Now I've completed The Last Guardian and spent so many years in that game, maybe I may go back to the Shadow-type environment."
Ser du gerne at Ueda vender tilbage til noget der ligner Shadow of the Colossus?
