After a decade of waiting, you can watch the opening moments of The Last Guardian

The Last Guardian has been in the works at Gen Design and Sony’s Japan Studio for a decade. It finally hits retail Tuesday on the PlayStation 4, and we’ve had a peek at the beginning. I recorded the first 20 minutes of the introduction and the game, and it doesn’t give you any real explanation for what is happening in the game.

You start out as a young boy, and you find a giant creature, called Trico, which is a cross between a bird and a dog. Trico is wounded, and it’s quite terrifying. But the boy finds a way to ease its pain and befriend it. You learn how to climb up and around the beautiful environmen and how to climb up and down from Trico itself. A couple of times, Trico sends the boy flying, a reminder of how dangerous the giant creature can be. But you can see the seeds of the relationship developing between the boy and the creature.
