Weekend Confirmed Episode 57
by Garnett Lee, Apr 22, 2011 11:00am PDTLike millions of happy gamers, the Weekend Confirmed crew eagerly jumped back into the joys of testing in Portal 2. But there's a lot more to keep guests EGMi's Andrew Pfister and Billy Berghammer, and Jeff and Garnett busy. Mortal Kombat has them in fighting spirits and a full report from Bethesda's recent spring showcase includes a deep look at the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Prey 2. There's also news of the next Wii hardware, codenamed "Cafe," and the brouhaha over Portal 2's ARG in the news before closing things out with Finishing Moves.

But, all we have from The Last Guardian is some screens, a trailer or two, and some vague promises. How can you develop that into an assumption that this game is going to be amazing and that anyone who isn't captivated before we even see what the core concept of the game is going to be about is wrong?
So my I suppose my question to you is this. "What about The Last Guardian justifies blind faith and acceptance that it is going to be an amazing game?" Is it simply that it's being made by the SOTC/Ico group? Could they have announced a cart racer and you'd be just as onboard? Is it some vague promise of what the bird/dog/snake represents? And why do you feel that anyone who doesn't like it, deserves derision?
