Guerrilla games has been working on a new IP for 3 years that "isnt ready to show" and who knows if it will even see the light of day

Thats a lot of expensive cockups. I dont know about you but IMO heads must roll.
Not really because stuff like delays,game get canceled, and people leaving studios happen all the time.

I'm with you.
 
You know what, I'm glad. I'm sick of Sony playing coy about the game's existence.

It's not like it could even live up to the absolute insane amount of hype.

Brilliant.
 
Atleast make it a fuckin Vita game!

Yeh because that makes sense...

Putting it out on Vita will really give it a chance to recoup all of the development costs! Sony should just sell the IP to Nintendo for the Wii U while they are at it.
 
Honestly, this is the only rumor TLG I'd actually believe. It's a reasonable course of action for a game that's been "in development" for ages.
 
This is a rumor... It's just from a dubious russian blog... They'll show it monday... It's okay, it's alright... there's something to live for... Jesus told me so...
 
I agree.

Yoshida is fucking clown. Get rid of the guy.

This is inexcusable.

If this is indeed cancelled, it would seem to be the work of Mr. Yoshida, as he's probably in charge of stuff like this.

I assume this will damage his positive reputation a bit...maybe people will get over it like they got over Studio Liverpool's closure.
 
I'm gonna stay in the Denial phase until their press conference is done.

I'm just hoping this means it's cancelled for PS3, and the PS4 version, possibly under a different title, will be revealed during the conference.
 
I refuse to fucking believe it.

But ok. Let's put some logic into this.

- TLG is simply too big and too hyped of a game to be cancelled, right?
- Do you think Sony would allow for this to become public less than 48 hours BEFORE their E3 conference?
- Yoshida and several other Sony execs have openly stated the game is still in production.

If true, this is awful news. But I'll still wait for E3 to see if it's not just a prank.

And if it IS a prank. IGN, get ready 'cause you're gonna be on my black list....

Chances are the team had some missed deadline, asked for another extension, failed to deliver a playble demo, etc and the head of the proyect decided that enough is enough and canceled it. It would not surprise me if they were working on some demo for E3 and when they saw what shitshow the game was, they not only janked it from the schedule but abandoned the project all together.
