There it is. That's the look. We've seen it for seven years on post after post. You all despise us. Cynics. Disbelievers. Mods with an anti-Sony bias. You've heard of rumours? The forum was obsessed with them. They loved to watch gamers and press burn, the way their hopes blackened, blistered, melted off their words. They burned developers they didn't like; they burned publishers that disobeyed them; they burned anyone that was against them. Before long, half PR community was against them. NeoGAF saw traitors everywhere, so they had their posters place caches of rumours all over the forum: beneath gaming discussion, the slums of off topic, under posts, titles, avatars, even beneath the Community OT itself. Finally, the day of reckoning came. IGN marched upon the forum after the cancellation at the Team Ico. But Scott Rohde arrived first with the whole Sony army at his back, promising that The Last Guardian still existed. We knew Sony better than that. They've never been one to bank on development hell. We told NeoGAF as much. We urged them to move on. But the forum didn't listen to us, didn't listen to the mods who tried to warn them. But they did listen to Yosp, that grey sunken cunt. "You can trust Sony," he said. "Team Ico has always been developing The Last Guardian." So, we opened discussion and Rohde sacked the forum. Once again qw came to the forum begging them to see reality. They told us to bring them IGN's head. Then they turned to each other, "Ban them all," they said. "Ban them on our forum, ban them in their URLs." Tell us, if your precious community commanded you to ban a popular source of gaming coverage and stand by while thousands of men women and children anticipated a title stuck in development hell, would you have done it? Would you have kept your oath then? First, we changed the thread title, and then when the posters turned to flee we added a stupid poll. "Ban them all!," they kept saying. "Ban them all!" I don't think they expected it to be at E3. They meant to wait for as long as necessary with the rest of us and watch The Last Guardian rise again, reborn as a PlayStation 4 title. We kept the thread open to make sure that didn't happen.

Can Sony be more stupid? They should have kept their mouth shut for only 1 more day now if its indeed not cancelled. Imagine all these cancelled headline on every major gaming site, and Sony end their E3 with the final trailer.

Common?

This thread exploded, and it's pretty late in the night. They needed to put a stop now, before the negativity exploded even further over the next two days. At least, that's the way I see it.

What do you want them to say? "This game has been a total clusterfuck. We can't figure out to make this thing into an actual game. It will probably never come out."

Give a progress report. Dev footage. A hint that the team members' brains are still legally functioning. Anything is literally better than nothing for nearly a decade. It's absurd that a dev can go for this long with nothing to show for it and not get shitcanned.

IGN is big. Like massive compared to Gametrailers. There's a reason journalists tend to stay close together i.e Gies is defending IGN.

Again I have no insider info or anything, it's just something I noticed in the industry. Journalists tend to defend other journalists.
 
Maybe The Last Guardian has already been released.

In the game, your beloved friend dies after saving your life.

You refuse to accept it at first, but it's really gone. As the years pass, you pretend the creature has just flown away somewhere, and will return to recapture those emotions you felt when the two of you first met.

Your unwillingness to let The Last Guardian die is symbolic of your longing for anything from that bygone era of gaming.

It can't be that Team ICO was absorbed into another studio. No, what's more likely is that they've been developing a game for 3/4 of this generation without releasing one screenshot, art work, or video that includes actual gameplay footage.

Your faith in this project is like the boy's faith in Trico. Something beautiful and strong, but ultimately too scary and awkward to survive on its own.

Wow.
 
Well glad I wasn't on GAF for the past 8 hours or so. I would have flipped my shit if I had seen this before the word from Sony.

Gonna keep on believing.
 
In other news, to commemorate the upcoming conclusion of the saga of Geralt of Rivia, CD Projekt recently announced that the Collector's Edition of The Witcher 3 would include a hand painted stone sculpture. The sculpture depicts Geralt heroically striking down the monstrous beast known as the Last Guardian.

It's like it represents the all hidden possibilities of gaming that is unrealized, unannounced, wholly original, laying in the shadows somewhere, chained up, and one day those chains will break, and whatever it is will blow our god damned minds again. Maybe I'm projecting all that pent up need for something on Shadow of the Colossus's level, maybe its been too long since something truly great came along and changed everything I thought was possible with gaming, but till then, I'm gonna keep the hope alive.

That's the thing I don't get either. IGN wouldn't have posted this if they weren't absolutely sure it was true. Despite what idiots here are claiming, it's not some conspiracy for them to get clicks, IGN isn't that desperate.
Click to expand...

It's pretty obvious, isn't it? We've been seeing a shitload of fake rumours pop up all over the place over the last few weeks. Someone probably sent the bullshit story around to a bunch of different sources, those sources then reported them to IGN and since they were hearing it from more than one source, IGN went "must be true!"

It's pretty much the exact same trap Kotaku fell in a couple of years ago, when they reported Versus XIII was cancelled and Square Enix quickly shut them down. Though in that case they at least had the decency to call it a rumour, not "official" news.

I'm not surprised Gies immediately went for the concern troll angle though.
