Poll: Who in The Last Guardian is going to die?

[paragon1]

Anyone who has seen news about Team Ico's new upcoming game The Last Guardian has probably heard the inevitable prediction of one of the main character's demise.
So my question to the Escapist is, who do you think will kick the bucket?

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Both of them will die. Everyone always dies HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

 

[Winfrid]

the bird thing obviously

 

[Zhukov]

The gryphon.

It will die in such a way as to facilitate the kid's coming of age and associated loss of innocence... or something.

 

[Sacman]

The Gryphon that's usually how it works...

 

[Mr. Grey]

I think the Gryphon will eat the kid.

Or do I hope that?

 

[end_boss]

I'm going against the odds here, for the sake of being different. If we look at the series as a spiritual trilogy, then the third game will end on a more uplifting note. Neither will die.

 

[Kollega]

Maybe there'll be two endings, in one the boy dies and in the other gryphon dies. Best of both worlds!

 

[Zeromaeus]

The boy will escape with the gryphon, only to sacrifice it to the evil god from Shadow of the Colossus. He will then be transformed into the last colossus Wander fought.

 

[RanD00M]

Maybe there'll be two endings, in one the boy dies and in the other gryphon dies. Best of both worlds!

How about four? Have another one where they both die. And then the fourth one where neither dies.

 

[HT_Black]

Team Ico is going to pull a fast one on us: neither character dies, but the entire world ends.

 

[Kollega]

How about four? Have another one where they both die. And then the fourth one where neither dies.

How about three? Having neither die is not like Team Ico.

Well I've never played a Team Ico game, so I was just throwing it out there. For you know, speculation.

I too haven't played any (neither Ico nor Shadow of the Colossus), but from what i've heard, their games are universally accepted as True Art. And we all know that True Art is angsty.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

I've never played a Team Ico game and frankly I can't see the hype as to why there are seen as Jesus arts of video-games.
As for who is gonna die? I say the Gryphon (That's a Gryphon!?) it just looks too damn preditcable.

 

[teh_Canape]

the griffin thing will choke to death after eating the boy, that will cause a fracture in the space time continuum and will cause the whole universe to implode and every single one will die so hard they will respawn in an alternate univerze where the griffin will have to kill 16 colossus while the kid has to rescue the other kid with horns WHILE wanda goes and bones yorda WHILE dormin brings wanda's girl back to life SO SHE CAN HANG OUT WITH ICO AND MAKE THE UNIVERSE RE-IMPLODE AND CREATE ANOTHER ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE HELL IS GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE THE GAME WILL NOT BE RELEASED FOR ANOTHER YEAR BUT NOBODY WILL REALLY MIND BECAUSE DUKE NUKEM FOREVER IS COMING OUT AT THE SAME YEAR AFTER 12 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

*deeply restores breath*

yeah, let's just wait until the game comes out =P

 

[Outright Villainy]

Do you really think you're qualified to judge then? Hmm?

I'd go with neither. But something else horrible will happen instead, like everyone else dies and they're alone. And then they both die.
Of syphilis.

 

[Super Toast]

I think the Gryphon will eat the kid.

Or do I hope that?

And the kid kills the gryphon from the inside by eating his heart. Holy crap, that would be epic.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

There seems to be lots of people who haven't played ICO and think that Team ICO are only about tragedy and emotional detachment.
