Today, on February 16, 2015, trademark U.S. serial number 85700141, The Last Guardian, was abandoned:

On July 02, 2014, Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC filed the third (of five) Extension of Time to File SOU.

Note: The previous application, trademark U.S. serial number 77750563, was also abandoned before all extension requests had been used. This news doesn't bode well for the future of this game however.

More like -> It's getting a new name/title
Could they be renaming the game?
Seems like it.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
Well I for one trust Yoshida, if he says the game is still alive then I believe him.
 
To keep a trademark, you actually have to have an intent to use it in commerce at some point in the near future. So no surprises here...

It's better to just stop looking for this game. Just assume it's dead any maybe it'll surprise us in a few years.

We really are the Last of the Guardians.

Probably a rename, or it's now an altogether different game. I'd be shocked if it was the same concept originally shown at all by this point.

If it is, it's heavily retooled.
