Sony presser came and went. It had some good games even though most were know. The Last of us looked great and finished off things but that was the only last game there. Where is the last guardian? I know they had some problems but it has been 3 years since it was announced. Sony needs to say if it is still coming or not. Because the longer they wait the less likely it looks.

Yea some of these long talked about but never seen titles are slowly loosing steam IMO. I really want to play the last guardian but its just not even on the radar anymore, it and final fantasy vs 13 have almost bypassed this whole gen at this point. I sure hope TLG at least shows up at the tokyo game show, because i fear the worst for it if it doesnt.

I hope the game comes been looking forward to The Last Guardian ever since it was announced, but so far there hasn't been much news on maybe Sony forgot about the game? I'm also thinking Square Enix forgotten about Final Fantasy versus XIII too.

The odd part was when they showed during the presentation the list of exclusives on the board and the Shadow/Ico collection was listed instead of The Last Guardian.

Though, it may eventually show up, after all, I Am Alive disappeared after it was announced but finally came back (and after playing the demo it definitely impressed).

Who knows, they may have been in over their heads with the last guardian and can't finish it.

Sony already announced that:

1- The game is still in development. No date yet, but IT WILL COME OUT.

2- The game wouldn't make an appearance on E3.

I 'm with you that they need to show something to keep the fans waiting, even if they planned to have as much secrecy in the game as possible(a-la Ico and SotC).

IMO, they bit off more than they could chew. The tech may just not be there yet OR they might just not be able to accomplish what they set out to do. They promised an amazing animal AI that learned, adapted, but still had a mind of its own...like a real animal At this point, I think it will either be: a. vaporware or b. less than what was promised Which is sad given the developer and their track record

All I can say is be patient, it's in development for a long time for a reason.

Didn't I read somewhere that Sony Santa Monica was being called in to work on it? The fact that they didn't even come out with an updated trailer, or a release date within the next year, sort of leads me to believe that the Santa Monica studio discovered that very little had actually been accomplished so far.

I am not worried, let the comapny take their time. There are way too many AAA titles coming out this Fall and the Last Guardian would just get lost in the shuffle. Also, it is one less game to add to my backlog.

I don't think there's any need to worry. Team ICO are very small and this is the kind of game for TGS, not E3.

The question is: Would you rather it be released finished or unfinished?

It'll come out, just not soon. I've calmed my hype for it down.

Well Duke Nukem had no dedication put into it, just released unfinished, busted, broken and buggy. The Last Guardian seems like a game thats being developed with care, and so patience will be rewarded.

Sony brought in several of their other teams to help Team ICO speed things up a bit, but it only perpuated the problem as Media Molecule kept pushing for floaty controls and player customization, Santa Monica kept pushing for QTEs and action game combat, Naughty Dog kept pushing for AI partners and cinematic setpieces, Sucker Punch kept pushing for the inclusion of worthless karma choices, and Guerilla kept pushing for the inclusion of Sev and Rico leading to chaotic disagreements.

So it should be finished by 2018.

It seems like it will never come out and I think this is the case. What would really turn things around would indeed be a PS4 launch game. I mean if that was confirmed PS4 would automatically be on everyone's wishlist as soon as possible.

The problem is not if it will come out. It definitely will. Too high profile a game to "disappear". The problem is by the time it does release the hype and even expectations will have massively decreased. Now would have a been a good time to give us something new since people still seem to be looking for it. But eventually people are just going to give up.

and too long of a dev cycle, resulting in outdated mechanics. at this rate, it'll be the same result. don't get me wrong, the game looks awesome. but if they don't finish it soon, it'll be the same result.

Oh for definite! The Last Guardian's release is next to guarenteed, I assure you. Team ICO are such a small team that given three years of development, Team ICO would make horrendous losses if they were to end development right here and now. If anything you should be encourage by the delays! As this gaming generation dwindles, The Last Guardian will be there at the end when a mass game drought is on the cards, not to mention delays tends to = a more polished and refined game. Keep the faith bro!

i'm unconvinced. only reason they said anything is that they were specifically asked. instead of spending half an hour on that storybook thing, they could've given an update on TLG.

Did you read the article? Yoshida said he has no updates. He's a good honest man. And yes, of course the game is coming eventually, they have spent far too much money to not release it at all. Sony Santa Monica is working on it now as well, and they get sh!t done.

yes i did ;) and for all you know, it *could* just be to make people happy. like i said earlier, i love what i've seen of this game, but with how long its been i have to wonder. games having a really long dev cycle don't typically don't do very well. if they even get released.

If Yoshida was going to lie to just make fans happy he would probably say something more substantial than that? Woo for baseless speculation. :P

At first, I thought this was false information, but then I realized how funny this actually was. :lol:
