Before people freak on Ryan, this tweet was posted BEFORE the Scott Rohdes tweet. Folks seem to be thinking this was recent, but it happened 40 minutes ago.

People already freaked.

Should have plugged in his headphones.

 

[Imperfected]

Whew, geez. Don't scare me like that, guys...

... for a second there, I thought a video games outlet had done some actual journalism. Back to business as usual!

 

[gribbles]

Well as they say, you can't spell "SHIT FOR BRAINS" without IGN.

 

[RE_Player]

I repeat, story is still up with no correction on IGN...

 

[Falnabol]

No where in the article did it say officially cancelled. Twitter and FB did. While that parts obviously wrong, I'd honestly expect a retraction/apology by the morning.

What amazes me more is that the story was written by the site's editor-in-chief Steve Butts. It lacked any notation that they called Sony for confirmation, or even asked Sony for comment. As a small time gaming site runner, I still even try to get an official comment on rumors from game companies.

To me, this should all come down on Steve Butts. The rest of the team at IGN shouldn't suffer for their moronic leaders lack of journalism skills. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see Butts demoted or resigning after E3.

Look at the tweet from IGN
in-case this embed doesnt work
The Last Guardian is officially cancelled http://go.ign.com/SEB69z

[Coolade]

all of this over an 8 year old trailer
on the ps3
its probably a free to play mobile game by now

Am I the only one that never wanted this game? I wanted shadow of the colossus 2 on ps3. Now all I want is shadow of the colossus 2 on ps4 #sigh.

 

[teiresias]

False.

So is this like the TLOU Remastered release date? It hasn't been cancelled but they're not going to tell us anything about it . . . ever maybe?

 

[Prompto]

Bosman's losing his bet...

Kyle can still win his bet!

 

[botty]

where's the proof

Wait

 

[Dragonborn]

WHAT DO I BELIEVE

Depends, who do you trust more, the PlayStation Software Product Development Head for Sony Worldwide Studios America or some hack writer whose proven time and time again that he's incompetent?

[Night Angel]

Kinda wish Sony just kept quiet and let the madness ensue, then come Monday end the show with The Last Guardian.

I think the internet would have imploded.

I think putting out the fire was the best thing they could do. I mean, just look at your first post(s) in this thread.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't know but they said they had multiple sources.

 

[orochi91]

It's fun to see everyone's true colors in this thread lol.

I'm legit ashamed of my comments earlier in this thread.

But it's all good now :'D

 

[FuturusX]

Not cancelled then...but still not going to show up on Monday. The flame is alive just barely.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

My god.....this e3 is going to be huge

Somebody has to kick this guy in the junk, already.

Yeah where's Sony's "OFFICIALLY BACK ON," announcement? Huh? Huh, Sony? IGN called it "OFFICIAL," you just said they weren't telling the truth. BALL'S STILL IN YOUR COURT, SONY! (Seriously. This guy is a total ass. Maybe admit wrongdoing and skulk away instead?)

Edit: Ah. I see now that this was posted a few minutes before the denial. My bad.

 

[Ilive1up]

what the hell is going on here? ign posts an article without facts to back it up? that the gist of it?

 

[DoubleTake]

Can you feel it......E3 is apon us..in GRAND fashion!!!

So Much this! lol E3 Is here babay!

 

[geomon]

I may need to wear a suit of armor at the E3 theater. Because if this game pops up, people are going to lose their shit.

 

[Ivieto]

Two more things:

1) IGN is making tons of money in ad revenue right now

2) Xbox guy from IGN doubles down on the comment, dismisses Sony exec's comment and says it's still cancelled:

https://twitter.com/DMC_Ryan/

No he didn't he posted it 12 minutes before Scott said so.

He didn't double down on it did he? Posted before Rhode answered.

Kinda makes me think it won't be shown on Monday

 

[BearPawB]

Sony found their mole, amirite

it's like an episode of 24.
Jack Bauer is getting to the bottom of this.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Should have plugged in his headphones.

This thread keeps getting better and better.

 

[lastflowers]

I've considered it cancelled for the past three years. I refuse to arouse any notion of hope that it will release until six months before it ships.

The people behind these games would probably never do a sequel to any of their properties, lol.

 

[the_batman]

it's not cancelled,

Spoiler

it's on indefinite hiatus

 

[The_R3medy]

Hm? I clicked on it fairly immediately after posting and it very specifically said they called Sony for comment but have not heard back yet.

Woops, my bad. I missed that part. My 100% mistake there. It's at the end of their article.

 

[Raxus]

Why is there a poll for a game that doesn't exist :Kappa

 

[joshcryer]

I just woke up, trying to make sense of this. From what I understand:

Russian source says 'TLG was canceled in some meeting'.

IGN posts an article in which they claim that TLG 'officially' has been 'officially' canceled 'officially' (by Sony) based on this source. The article is posted before they actually receive a statement or commentary of any kind from Sony on the rumor.

GAF melts down.

Scott Rohde tweets TLG isn't canceled.

GAF melts down.​

Accurate?

Official PS twitter retweets Rohde's tweet, other than that, yep, that's about it.

 

[Dr Amazon MD]

i would cut IGN some slack IF they hadn't used the important word "OFFICIALLY" in their headline....but c'mon son

https://twitter.com/IGN/status/475505404915765248

Exactly, this is really disgusting "journalism" if they're dead wrong and used that Russian Blog as a source.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Get's up from bed.

"Oh man, I can't get to sleep. Well, I guess I'll check GA..."

Sees thread

 

[viveks86]

 

[Speevy]

At least Sony could do us the courtesy of officially announcing it for the PS4.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Kyle can still win his bet!

Fuckin' "official"...thanks IGN

Not cancelled then...but still not going to show up on Monday. The flame is alive just barely.

Perhaps that is its natural state?

C'mon people the tweet wasn't that bad, and this is before Sony debunked the story. The tweet before it was saying how he is sad the game is gone because of how refreshing it looked compared to other games.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Scott's post already has over 1000 re-tweets.

HOLY FUCK! I thought the hype for Project Beasts was something!

That tweet came before the rumor was shot down. IGN is not doubling down. They are silent. Apart from Greg's joke and Colin's response to the tweet.

 

[Draconian]

Haha, it's too late. You already have somebody here calling for someone to "kick him in the junk." Pretty ridiculous stuff.

 

[TheHater]

Why shouldn't people freak out on them. This is not the first time they ran bullshit articles as if it's 100% fact.

 

[The_R3medy]

 

[Tubie]

The one thing I hate the most about this is that I gave IGN a page view. It's been weeks, maybe months since the last time I did that.

 

[Cess007]

Let IGN be banned, so the world might be mended ♫

That won't happen Cess

...and this is one of those times when I'd like to be wrong.

If there's ever a time to re-introduce TLG is this. If it doesn't show up i fear it may remain in development hell forever.

 

[Get_crazy]

Faaaaaack! I can't even read one page on this thread that there are 3 new pages of comments...

IGN is in deep trouble!

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

In IGN's defense absolutely nobody has any idea what is going on with that game
