Support NeoGAF

[DrkSage]

Well it's kinda appropriate considering Sony has said bugger all and IGN's report comes from god knows where in Russia.

Probably from someone with a livejournal blog...

 

[Mashin Haters]

we'll see on Monday. There isnt shit to talk about until then. So i say we wait and watch.

 

[Hattori]

 

[Goodacre0081]

the game should have been cancelled years ago. how can a studio take an entire generation to produce a game and still have nothing to show for it?

 

[Kevtones]

This is probably all a lie for the eventual release of the game.


It'll get a 6.5 average from most sites but a 10.3 from IGN somehow.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

But...

[TetraGenesis]

DENIAL DENIAL DENIAL! I don't care! I'm in denial!

 

[RealityPales]

Wait you guys who are saying to calm down might be right. Ign loves click bait like no one else. We should stay calm and wait for more info/Monday night.

Because even IGN isn't this fucking stupid.

 

[BY2K]

Wow.

 

[kuppy]

dang.
Sony, you can clearly see there is still a lot of interest in a game we know nearly nothing about.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Given the gravitas of the tone and the position of these two people, it does seem pretty official. I'm not sure the Editor in Chief would post something like this without adding "rumour" if they weren't confident about it.


And thus the thread title:

"The Last Guardian cancelled - Stage One: Denial"

Yeah but they just did the same thing with Druckmann forcing out Hennig, there's the chance that they are wrong.

None of it matters, wait till E3.

 

[Magwik]

 

[MilesTeg]

Good, time to end the never ending BS with this game. I'm glad I don't need to hear anymore about vaporware.

 

[RoboPlato]

they've released two games as "team ico", but remember that team ico is within the bigger studio japan. the members of team ico have been involved in many other projects from studio japan.

Ueda has only completed those two games after joining Sony.

 

[The Cool One]

it wouldn't have lived up to the hype anyway

 

[Ve1ocity]

So this is how the world ends?

 

[Soonri]

Gotta post in here, lol.
Shame that this won't see the light of day, it looked really cool.

 

[-Horizon-]

TLG might be cancelled but what if Team ICO and Ueda already started to make a new project on PS4?

I don't think I can wait 8 more years :/

 

[klee123]

If true, I wonder how much money they wasted on it. It also brings up the question to whether anyone would ever want to work with Ueda ever again.

 

[Amikami]

It's amazing how little pain I feel. Guess I gave up hope a long time ago. I'm okay. I wonder if the grief will crash later though?

 

[Splash Wave]

What the hell have they been doing this whole time?

 

[Sandfox]

Atleast make it a fuckin Vita game!

Stage 3: Bargaining

GAF is on a roll.

 

[Tagg9]

I don't believe it.

At Sony's press conference, they'll say "The Last Guardian is no longer in development... because it went gold last week and will be released to retail the first week of July!"

 

[Odrion]

Wow, I didn't expect game news to depress me this much.

 

[kai3345]

lmao at the denial up in here

 

[Ivieto]

Right, they are saying they announced this information internally recently, I am guessing they would have multiple sources with this level of information. I have heard Steve Butts say that these types of rumors only get reported when at least 2 independent sources confirm them.

 

[jbttwin]

Fuck.

 

[Leona Lewis]

TLG might be cancelled but what if Team ICO and Ueda already started to make a new project on PS4?

Stage 3

 

[Spongebob]

There's no way this is true.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Repost from the rumor thread:

So sad this turned out to be true.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Thanks to Wario64, and some other Gaffers (sorry the thread grows too fast rapidly)

Here's the screenshot of the tweet and the article for posterity purposes. It might be official, it might be not. Let's wait for the confirmation.

Steve Butts?

 

[zerodayPopbot]

dang.
Sony, you can clearly see there is still a lot of interest in a game we know nearly nothing about.

going out with a bang

 

[Riposte]

 

[Tan]

I'm surprised gaf is still up, honestly.

 

[Bebpo]

Now we just need Versus to be official too.

 

[OminousShadow]

All hope is lost

 

[Jomjom]

Yeah but they just did the same thing with Druckmann forcing out Hennig, there's the chance that they are wrong.

None of it matters, wait till E3.

To be fair we don't know for sure Druckmann didn't force out Hennig.

Hahahaha. This has to be one of the worst pre-E3 weeks in a while with the exception of the Witcher 3 trailer.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

 

[EdReedFan20]

The funny thing is that (at least in my Twitter feed) the majority of tweets about TLG being canceled are from IGN employees linking to the article, interspersed with other peoples' reactions.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Sony hasn't said anything yet.

Yeah which is fishy.

Usually if something is true, you stay silent.

With this, IDK.

 

[The Silver]

Good, and I hope it drags FFXV down with it so we can all finally move on from those embarrassments.

 

[teknix]

I hope Sony gives out free tissues at the theaters as you walk in. There will likely be some grown men crying if Last Guardian cancellation is mentioned on stage.

Or they might pull the Last Guardian is cancelled then turn around and announce Ico 3: Fumito's Revenge.

I doubt this is legit, why in the world would they announce such bad news so close to E3 and ruin the momentum and give fans in 40 theater locations a chance to rage in a group against Sony. Something is definitely off here..

 

[Paracelsus]

I called it. All those people that have been defending Team ICO all this time can kindly eat crow.

Several people have been advocating for Team ICO to be given the boot, the issue is Sony sounded like it was able to complete the project before firing them all.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Damn...

 

[SwiftDeath]

So it's safe to say Sony absolutely positively didn't want this to be leaked right?

I mean who takes a game off the table at E3?

Do that later in an off period

 

[kuppy]

Nicely done!

 

[Officerrob]

Sorry that so many people likely have their hopes crushed as a result of this, but it will be nice that the "Last Guardian at E3" stuff is finally behind us (if this is true)
