It is debatable whether "The Last Guardian" release schedule being broken is a good news or bad news. This Fumito Ueda brainchild was supposed to hit the streets on Tuesday, Dec 6th but several retailers have gone ahead and copies are now proliferating prematurely.
It has been nine long years of waiting for "The Last Guardian" and a few days ahead of schedule is a welcome development for gamers albeit a disaster into the developer's timeline. Blame it on retailers but a broken "The Last Guardian" street date presents an opportunity for early review as well. Meaning, gamers can make up their mind if they will purchase the title even ahead of proper schedule!
This broken schedule has indeed spread like bushfire in the gaming community as "The Last Guardian" initial impressions start to flood in at gaming fora and social media channels. Gamers are now taking the game piece by piece and there are mixed reviews about SIE Japan Studio's title. NeoGAF user bigmac996 said that "The Last Guardian" looks stunning and is a class all by itself under the "ragdoll physics" (obviously in reference to protagonist Toriko.)
In the spirit of fairness, we will try to present "The Last Guardian" with few spoilers as much as possible. The game can run at approximately 12-13 hours when done in decent pace, says GameFAQ user VenomTrane. Most of the impressions were sounding great although he states that there are glitches in camera control. This happens mostly in tight corners and narrow rooms.
So are you also getting ready to be impressed with "The Last Guardian?" GameNGuide recommends installing day-one patch first before jumping into the adventure. This patch is just over a GB in size but packs a lot of game changer and performance tweaks. Early players are reporting that they are yet to discover the exact value of this pack although some are already saying that it improved frame rate.
