[BurnOutBrighter]

Nope, won't believe it until it hear it straight out of Sony.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Even though i think this report is false I love the thread that came from it. So much hate/rage in such a little time.

 

[Instro]

Lol should have happened ages ago. Ueda is terrible.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Classic Kamiya.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Stage two already? I miss stage one.

Me too. People are really getting irrational about a trailer though lol. I'm just saying. It sucks but I didn't know enough about it to be angry. I'm more angry that Versus is now Multiplatform than this.

 

[Soma]

Now we just need FF XV's cancellation to get confirmed!

 

[FuturusX]

Sad news...for sure. But how many of us would have bought it? They are in this for the numbers people. Stop buying shite..and maybe risky projects like this will be seen through all the way.

Lol should have happened ages ago. Ueda is too amazing to waste time on game development.

Fixed that for you..

 

[joshcryer]

That would be risky because the best move for Sony would be to not respond whether true or not. If it's not cancelled IGN would be losing a lot of credibility in a few days. Would be a dumb move for IGN to bait like that.

IGN could always say they got played if some magical shit comes down, blame Sony for misinfo, etc.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Wow. Just.... wow. WOW.

I... well..... fuck....... just fuck.... *sigh*

Ya know, part of me is actually happy. I mean, damn, I've been waiting for this game for how long? I can just walk away from the table now. Jut walk away and never have that itch of anticipation year, after year, after year, after year, after.... year.

So, ya know what, fuck it. Yeah that's it... fuck it. Just fuck it.

[Jomjom]

Can you imagine the ad revenue IGN is gonna get from just this one story???

 

[DoubleTake]

DemonNite, GopherD...save us..no save The Last Guardian, PLEASE!

 

[fvng]

so i've convinced myself a re-reveal will happen on Monday and that this is a publicity stunt. The timing is too weird

 

[Zalman]

I think I'll go listen to St. Anger to set my anger free

 

[Cess007]

I wonder NeoGaf reaction if this turns to be false and the game appears on Monday

 

[Alastor]

If it's true I hope some journalists are already working on 100-pages article detailing everything that happened during the development of this disaster.

 

[udiie]

hahahahahahaha

holy shit these title changes LOL

 

[ZROCOOL]

This hurt to make...

Lol :,(

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Well fuck, I guess even more so than delays, cancellation, means that the game must have really sucked in it's current form. So no Last Guardian is better than a bad one, right? Right!?!?!


To those willing to entertain the possibility this is a publicity stunt before a reannounce, my hat is off to you! I don't think I can set myself up for another dissipointment. But maybe they started working on a different game a couple of years ago under the gize of The Last Guardian. I mean how the F do you let this happen especially since its been at least a couple years since other Sony studios have been helping the project full time. How do they not produce something!!

 

[robotrock]

Yo guys I actually read the two paragraphs IGN posted. it's fucking bullshit man it's "according to their sourceS" just like the shit with the whole "AMY HENING FORCED OUT OF NAUGHTY DOG" garbage. i'm not believing anything until yosp whispers it into my ear and i'd advise you all to do the same. the dream is not dead. the dream is not dead.

 

[DNAbro]

I just wish someone from IGN would clarify if their source was that russian blog or if they had another source. The timing of the article really makes it seem like that was their source.

"their sources"

that means it's something they trust, not random blogs

 

[I-hate-u]

The stage 1 is strong with this one.

He is saying the truth my friend.

 

[vinnygambini]

Stage Three: Depression

Spoiler

Iwata: *laughs*

 

[Justinsimonin]

Hope this isn't true, although it would certainly make sense that it was. Not sure the game, no
matter what it ended up being, could have lived up to the massive hype or expectations. I'm hoping that at some point down the line some videos or partial code of the game-in-progress gets out there and we can see what might have been!

 

[Starsunder]

Can't say I really care.

At least it's official, I guess.

 

[Vidpixel]

Now imagine if this report was false and it showed up at Sony's press conference.

Spoiler

If only...

 

[Raab]

Sony is bad at trolling. 2 days before E3...hmmmm?! (still in denial)

 

[zenosparadox]

This looks bad for Ueda and SCE Japan Studio. Really bad productivity. Still, it's not really over until there's an official word on this.

 

[Dimentionalist]

Hideki Kamiya offers his two cents.

 

[Hattori]

Y2Kev was "The Last Guardian" he was trying to protect us from heartbreak all along but we didn't listen..

 

[Baroquemantic]

Yo, this sucks. Well then, Sony, get busy on that SotC remake/sequel that takes advantage of the PS4's power. I'd be perfectly fine with that.

 

[Orca]

Where were the insiders on this one?

I'm guessing IGN jumped the gun though.

 

[Usobuko]

RIP.

Can't win them all, I got my wish of Guilty Gear Xrd coming over and possibly Miyazaki Soul games. Something has to go wrong to balance the tri-force.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

100 pages incoming

 

[Technoweirdo]

So nothing has changed. After year 3 or 4 I kind of just accepted that it was vaporware. Surprised Sony didn't wait until after E3 to let this news out.

Guess there is still Project Beast.

Y'know, a boss called The Last Guardian wouldn't sound so out of place in a Souls game.

Spoiler

Either way, he'll be dead. DEAD.

 

[Sharpeye]

Yeah. Lets not blame Sonys massive internal development problems on the man incharge of Sony internal development!


If this happened at one or two studios sure. Shit happens. I could see your point but at basically every studio? Nope.

Please give an example of every studio under sony's wing being gutted and mistreated by that monster Shu.

Official
adjective

: of or relating to the job or work of someone in a position of authority

—used to describe something that is said in a public way by someone in a position of authority

—used to describe something that is done in a public and often formal way

This...is the exact opposite of "official". I mean, it may have been cancelled, but Sony haven't made this information public yet. How could it be "official" when Sony themselves haven't said anything on the subject?

God dammit, IGN, get a dictionary and USE IT.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if this was all a ruse by Sony to get back at IGN for their Naughty Dog article regarding Druckman and Straley? That would be petty, but hilarious nonetheless.

 

[Kriken]

Can't say I didn't expect this. I've viewed it as a cancelled title that even if it was released, it wouldn't live up to the hype. Still, can't help but be disappointed that it never came to be :/

 

[Hoje0308]

So. Shuhei Yoshida resign? Yay or Nay?

So far this year.

Naughty Dog loses one of the best creative forces in the industry as well as a game director mid project
Cancelled a new IP with $100m already spent at SSM. 50 long time staff fired
Launch game Driveclub delayed a full year
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
The Last Guardian killed after 8 years in development



Thats a lot of expensive cockups. I dont know about you but IMO heads must roll.

If this isn't a joke post, then I'd say it's dumb enough that you should resign from GAF.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Makes sense, but it still sucks.
They probably wasted a boat load of money developing the game. But at least its (supposedly) official and not the embarrassment that FFXV has been for Square.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Classic Kamiya.

lol!

 

[leroidys]

Seriously, what the hell is this to disclose a thing like that right before E3? It couldnt have wait???? I mean, your there to try to make a good impression during THE gaming show of the year, and you announce a bad news????

???? Sony what is wrong with you???

This is better for Sony's PR. That way people aren't expecting it at E3 and raging about it all week. They announced bad news now, then good shit at E3, and people forget the bad news.

 

[Aquamarine]

I don't understand how this would damage a "gamer-friendly" reputation?

Well, don't people generally think highly of Mr. Yoshida?

You know, praising the way he interacts with fans on Twitter and all that?


I'm saying that Mr. Yoshida is probably responsible for the cancellation if this news is true, so his reputation will undoubtedly be damaged to an extent.

 

[FrankT]

Classic Kamiya.

Oh shit

 

[Totobeni]

Seriously? How can you suggest that after Ps4 is doing so well?

Yoshida is the head Sony First party and that not doing well. he got nothing to do with PS4 selling well. Yoshida is just doing bad job, not only because this 7 years big joke but also how he dropped the ball on Vita first party support that ended that system life, PS4 lackluster first party launch lineup and also the problems going with all the delays and all other issues with SCEWW studios. Yoshida need to go.

 

[JayEH]

Classic Kamiya.

HAhahahahahahah.
