The Last Guardian – emotion without words?
Some concepts that struck me: a purer form of enjoyment when you don’t understand the language? (did i mention that’s how i initially learned two languages i know that became second nature, or fist even, like this one) The other concept that hit me: the mystical nature of animals. Generally i like his point of view… content above framerate, not super praising the ps3 hardware but accepting the constraints and always wanting more from hardware in order to express more. I must say though that my personal opinion is somewhat different in that while I love his poitn of view, and i love the idea of communicating beyond the barriers of languages, I msut say my deepest game experiences did happen to be with games which had a couple of novels’ worth of words… they take you to a deeper level, a more complex experience… so yes, i do believe words are important… but yes, I also do wish we had one universal language so you could reach everybody.
