[Man-is-Obsolete]

The thing that grates me so badly is that they say "Sony reveals the cancellation...

Sony didn't reveal anything. A reveal is something you make public. Their only public statement is "LOL, nope"

[The Silver]

Wait

wait?

that's not any proof I've ever heard of

[Hyunkel6]

E3 is off to a great start. I love it.

 

[TheJLC]

Guys neogaf has a new feature where if you type your password it bleeps it out!

Look! ************

Haha that was so popular on RuneScape. I must have banned and muted dozens of people.

 

[EightBitNate]

Lol why did Greg retweet it?

 

[BearPawB]

I think arthur is right. It is a very weird situation. You don't have your editor in chief post something like that unless you are SURE.

 

[plasmawave]

So the weird thing is I know IGN wouldn't have posted a story like the TLG cancelation story unless they were very, very confident about it.

https://twitter.com/aegies/status/475522186589917184

It wasn't posted as a rumor. It was presented as a confirmed fact. IGN is careful about that typically.

Stage 1, denial.

No one sleeps tonight.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

You guys should maybe dial down the emotional response in all directions just a little bit.

This is starting to get less funny-embarrassing and more sad-embarrassing.

¿just how much ad revenue?

@DMC_Ryan tweeted at 1:40 AM ET.
@RohdeScott tweeted at 1:52 AM ET.

Correct. But he's yet to admit that they were wrong!

 

[Aquamarine]

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.

Yeah, I fixed my comment.

Hope IGN deletes their article pretty damn soon.

Don't need this misinformation spreading even further.

 

[Kriken]

I really want to see who the source was, guess I'll find out tomorrow on the morning news when they report on a public lynching that took place overnight

[HORRORSHØW]

has IGN officially apologized or issue an official redaction for their dumbassery?

Agreed.

Sort of like how all of the gaming press was "very, very confident" Sony was going to have the same DRM as MS, right?

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

No one sleeps tonight.

And I have work early tomorrow

Edit: Doesn't work?

what if u pick up tlou remastered on tuesday and it has a demo voucher for TLG, like how tlou had a demo inside of god of war ascension

Should have plugged in his headphones.

IGN must be loving all this attention. Site is a joke. Ban it!

*IGN is the sun, and we're the moon v_v*

we are all cancelled

GAF you are the best.

 

[Hip Hop]

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

That's cool, but the slandering in that instance was not warranted.

 

[robotrock]

The Last Guardian: Online

 

[Gorillaz]

I do think IGN doubled down on info they truly believed was right.

The problem was their source might have been purposely feed the false info. This, imo, isn't a story to double down on. It's too wishy washy

 

[RoboPlato]

The wagon circling begins

I love how it's Gies posting this and not an IGN writer trying to defend their work.

 

[co1onel]

Well if they're trying to create more buzz for this game it looks like it's working.

 

[Spongebob]

It begins.

Please ignore him.

 

[N.Domixis]

makes it sound like they cought a leaker, or am i reading to much into this?

 

[Fusebox]

Can't wait to see who's lying here.



Dude my fucking heart stopped!

Probably how IGN must have felt when they saw your post lol.

To be fair, I'd wager most of them weren't even thinking about TLG an hour ago.

 

[orochi91]

When this thread calms down it would be interesting to analize why the editor in cheif of IGN would post something like that....

Yea, I'm surprised he would go ahead with this story. Must have been hell of a "source".

 

[Loakum]

People already freaked.

yeah people are freakin out on twitter! The Last Guardian is the top trending tweet!

 

[BasilZero]

Someone should tell IGN April Fools was about 2 months ago.

 

[zeopower6]

The wagon circling begins

So is that why they had IGN Russia report it first or w/e? Is the source related to those Russian reporters?

 

[meanspartan]

So the only thing confirmed tonight is that IGN doesn't know what "officially" means. In fact, they seem to think it is the opposite of what it actually means.

 

[RE_Player]

Have to go to bed. Looking forward to waking up and seeing IGN defend themselves and their sources.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Holy shit :lol

 

[KAP151]

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

Then dont post anything with the word official in it.

 

[RustyNails]

Colin has a "Don't Tread on Me" sign... yeah respect is now zero for him. Fuck you IGN and your shitty team.

Wait, this guy is a teapartier?

 

[The Silver]

You know there's something to this strategy of reporting that something is cancelled to force the company to respond, it worked with FF Versus back then and it worked now.

I think we're on to something here.

 

[kurahador]

Sony found their mole, amirite

Well shit.

 

[EmptySpace]

The wagon circling begins

gies.

 

[Bsigg12]

Yeah, I fixed my comment.

Hope IGN deletes their article pretty damn soon.

Don't need this misinformation spreading eve further.

But it should grow to epic proportions so on Monday night if Sony does show the game, IGN eats crow like we've never seen before.

 

[Dragonborn]

This is the drama I look forward to every year. E3 may not sometimes deliver on the games, but man do I enjoy everything around it.

 

[matty2Dfraud]

This is the best E3 ever in the universe, Jerry! THE BEST!

 

[Tan]

makes it sound like they cought a leaker, or am i reading to much into this?

pretty sure he's just making a joke
