This game looks awesome. But as the penny arcade comic said, there is only one way for this game to end. Either the human or the beat dieing.... gonna be so sad.

This trailer is disappointing, I want to see more ! 
Are they going to show gameplay at TGS ? 
 
Also, it's weird that they are still using that music.

Like what Killroycantkill said,  I keep thinking back to what the Penny arcade guys said: "It can really only end 2 ways, either the creature dies or the boy dies" 
 
So it's hard to remain interested in these characters, watching the trailer OR playing the game when it's out.

Really liked SotC. Hope this is just as good.

It's really got that Ico/SotC vibe to it (young-boy-in-fantasy-world-with-strange-creatures-in-ruins).

I don't follow this line of reasoning. So, because one of the main characters dies it is hard to remain interested? Why? Wouldn't you want to know more about the story, about the world, about the ruins? Or maybe the reason for the tragedy of death? Wouldn't you want to know what the death of either the boy or the creature amounts to? Wouldn't you want to know to what end either of them died? What it accomplishes or what it doesn't? 
 
I know I want to know all these things. Some of the greatest stories of all time revolve around the death of one or more main characters. Then again, some of the worst stories share this exaxt characteristic :)

@RVonE:   Agreed completely. It reminds me of something my literature teacher used to say, you don't read books like Romeo and Juliet to find out the ending, because they tell you they die in the first few pages of the book, you read it to find out what events led to that ending and why it happened.
 
Knowing that it's possible one of these characters may die in the end doesn't suddenly make everything else pointless. (Especially since this is actually a game, and not merely a book or movie.)

The music matches the tone of this game so perfectly, it almost feels out of place in Miller's Crossing now.

Never realised where I recognised that from till I read the comments and you're right, but Millers Crossing still is a great film.

Would have been better if the bird dog ate him when the kid woke him up.

How anyone can feel emotional about this ten seconds of bird dog getting up and scratching his ear is beyond me. I was expecting something epic, pfft.

Just imagining what a hard life that big chicken dog must have had before the setting of the story makes me tear up.

I'm such a huge fan of Fumito Ueda games I might have to buy a PS3 just for this.  Part of me almost wants it to suck so I can save my $400.

I kinda wonder what if the creature was just a giant puppy, without all the other animal parts.

Amazing.  So what are Vegas odds, for or against your character or the dog/bird dying by the end?

By guessing how this game will end, I don't even want to start play it :(
Just the look of that creature is heart-wrenching.
Still, it looks so god damn beatiful that I must!

Those bastards at Ico.....I think I'll play it and then just stop right before the cinematic ending.
