OMG!!! :( NOOOO. WTF IS GOING ON!

Nirolak · (12-22-2011, 08:09 PM)

Splitting.

bigtroyjon · (12-22-2011, 08:09 PM)

Hmm, cancel the game the same day as the Vita launch announcements, PR 101.

so did they give you the same reasoning? That the game is actually cancelled? Or did they say they just aren't offering the pre-order anymore.

lastinline · (12-22-2011, 08:09 PM)

:O

NOOOOOOOOO! Please, let this not be true.

Nirolak · (12-22-2011, 08:09 PM)

Split bump.

ezekial45 · (12-22-2011, 08:10 PM)

Whaaaaaat?

Gravijah · (12-22-2011, 08:10 PM)

well, that would be shitty.

Franklinator · (12-22-2011, 08:10 PM)

NOOOOOO! Surely it's not true

I've never even played Ico/Shadow and I'll still be sad if it's true

LiK · (12-22-2011, 08:10 PM)

lastinline · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

This better not be true. I loved ICO and SOTC, and I couldn't wait for TLG. :/

DMeisterJ · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

Jesus Christ what is going on with this game?

Is this Sony's version of Duke Nukem forever? smh

Qwomo · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

Just sounds like GameStop being GameStop.

MisterHero · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

Well damn.

Between Ueda and this, it must have been some seriously troubled development

Razorskin · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

We're through the looking glass people!

waicol · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

Moved to the Wii U section.

Foliorum Viridum · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

Retail is the last place I'd trust to break this news.

yes. i would take great solace in the epic thread it would spawn though.

still we all know how it was going to end, i hope.

flyinpiranha · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

While I am hoping it's not true. It does seem weird that Gamestop wouldn't want to take your pre-order money any chance they get.

The_Inquisitor · (12-22-2011, 08:11 PM)

Oh fuck. I bought a new PS3 in part because I thought this was finally coming out next year! :(

BobTheFork · (12-22-2011, 08:12 PM)

: ( I didn't assume Trico would die until the end of the game.
Also, how many years in Production? It's a hell of a thing if they don't even have the game in a state they could finish.

Vamphuntr · (12-22-2011, 08:12 PM)

All that dev time for nothing? I guess it would make sense as to why they fired Ueda.

Grisby · (12-22-2011, 08:12 PM)

This is the end people. Everybody hold hands.

shadyspace · (12-22-2011, 08:12 PM)

Glad I didn't pull the trigger on getting a PS3 for this game!

Why wouldn't they want your money?

AbsoluteZero · (12-22-2011, 08:13 PM)

Oh god the fanboy tears will be like a river.

This has got to be one of the biggest bits of vaporware cancellation in a long, long time.

Yeah must be pretty bleak if they're doing this. They'll take preorders on anything these days.

It may be a SIGN nevertheless, IE platform shift (It's taking too long! Make it a PS4 title instead!) or something. Of course, GameStop could just want to avoid another Duke Nukem Forever scenario of pre-orders being in the system for forever, so maybe thy're flipping out over this news and canning to be safe.

Of course FFversusXIII is probably more worthy of that reaction anyway.

kayos90 · (12-22-2011, 08:13 PM)

Rofl what? This has to be a mistake.

I see what you did there.

Xater · (12-22-2011, 08:13 PM)

Wow that would be awful but not that surprising I guess? They really had not much to show so far and with Ueda leaving I guess Sony had enough of it.

kodt · (12-22-2011, 08:14 PM)

If true: Fuuuu.....

So Ueda leaving screwed this game?

bangai-o · (12-22-2011, 08:14 PM)

Dreamcast revenge

They didn't fire him. It would be stupid to fire someone and then hire them to work for you as a freelancer.

The Dutch Slayer · (12-22-2011, 08:14 PM)

ok GAF tell me is this just retailer BS or is their more to this?

gdt · (12-22-2011, 08:14 PM)

Fuuuuuuuuucking wow. This would be a huge heartbreaker if true.

I can't remember the exact wording but I definitely got a "Say goodbye to last guardian" vibe from the call.

Moved to the Vita.

I've never heard of Gamestop not wanting people's money if there is any possibility a game will come out.

I have no idea why they would be doing it, but I'm not believing it until it's reported on reputable sites with a source that isn't a retail chain.

Lots of people jumping to conclusions too early, I feel.

I was thinking the same thing... There must be some truth because why wouldn't gamestop want to continue to take preorder money...

I'm almost upset... but, it's been so long... I'm not even aware it exists unless rumors pop up about jobs or somebody makes a thread. Off my radar completely. It did look good tho...
