Wouldn't be surprised if true. I've been waiting for this announcement for a while now.

Up to you.

Either way is fine.

Christ if this is true, there's going to be a huge salty river flowing through GAF.

Fucking big news...if true.

pirata · (12-22-2011, 07:29 PM)

If this were true, why would Gamestop be the first to break the news? Let's not jump to conclusions, people.

I mean, the game HAS to almost be done by now, right? They've been developing it for six or seven years now! And Sony made a point of emphasizing that Ueda would still be working with them until the game is done. The only reason I could see for canceling it is if it didn't seem like it would be ready for release before PS4 was out. But even then, they could still release it for PS3, like how they released God of War II on PS2.

Exactly this.

Sounds like a mistake to me.

That $5 accrues more interest for them if you let it sit there rather than just adding it to a $55 for, say, Mass Effect 3.

Ergo, "tricking" you in to moving it to another game, unless that game is coming out for the PS4, does not really help their bottomline.

StuBurns · (12-22-2011, 07:29 PM)

If true, will hang self...

ezekial45 · (12-22-2011, 07:30 PM)

Destructoid put up a recording of the call, if anyone is interested.

Please don't be true :-/.

Snuggler · (12-22-2011, 07:30 PM)

Ouch. I guess it's been headed in that direction for a long time, but it's not often that you see such a high profile game bite the dust.

I can't believe this is coming from Gamestop. I just refuse to believe it.

Well shit. This sucks, but I can't say it's surprising. At this point, I was expecting the game to be shit whenever it released anyway, because it sounds like its development has been awful.

It's a real shame, because Shadow of the Colossus is my favorite game ever. My guess is the game was nowhere close to completion, or it really sucked, or both, and Sony decided that it just wasn't worth it.

Jinfash · (12-22-2011, 07:31 PM)

This is starting to sound like material for a movie I'd pay to see.

cajunator · 07:40 PM

okay I call gamestop just now and the guy who answered had no idea what I was talking about. Would probably have to call my friend who work see if she knows anything

Happy.
Looked like garbo.

Overreaction based on pedigree and a trailer was silly.

Man God · (12-22-2011, 07:32 PM)

Oh well, at least PS3 still has Monster Hunter Tri.

TruePrime · (12-22-2011, 07:32 PM)

They said specifically they were notified by the Vendor, so that would mean Sony. So unless Gamestop is lying and suddenly decided to give back all the money they have on the game for no reason, this seems true to me.

ScOULaris · (12-22-2011, 07:32 PM)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

This can't be happening. Somebody hold me. I'm not even kidding, someone please FUCKING HOLD MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

In case you're interested, this guy has the audio of the call.

E: Nevermind, someone else got this! You guys are fast. :D

ezekial45 · (12-22-2011, 07:33 PM)

At least we still have the ICO and SOTC HD Collection.

patsu · (12-22-2011, 07:33 PM)

So we were quite right. BOTH the catbird and the kid died. T_T

DNF was never outright cancelled. It was just up in there air.

RurouniZel · (12-22-2011, 07:34 PM)

Wow. If I get a similar call regarding Versus...

CSX · (12-22-2011, 07:34 PM)

Get that import money ready and creative minds thinking (adding our own subtitles in our heads when we start playing this game in japanese) :P

echoshifting · (12-22-2011, 07:34 PM)

I knew this game would depress the shit out of me...not like this though. Not like this. :(

Oh well at least we have videos of what could have been. Then years from now we'll get some secret hidden footage.
If Sony PR doesn't come out and say untrue then it has to be true.

Apdiddy · (12-22-2011, 07:34 PM)

It's entirely possible that The Last Guardian will be released.

Just not in the U.S. or in 2012.

I'd imagine we'll hear something from Sony in the next couple of days or weeks.

Dragonfly, or any other mods, can you put the recording in the OP?

The largest retailer of Gaming goods out side of Wal Mart is calling and telling people the game is canceled. Honestly the longer Sony ignores this, the more right this seems to me.

We will have to see if Amazon and others follow suit.

ShockingAlberto · (12-22-2011, 07:37 PM)

There's a few possibilities here

1) Total mistake, Gamestop fucked up, they meant to put in some other game but accidentally ticked the box for The Last Guardian.

2) Sony fucked up. Wires were crossed, they told Gamestop and Gamestop alone the wrong thing, there's been no news on The Last Guardian.

3) Game's doing to PSN, thus not having a retail presence at all.

4) Game is not getting a U.S. release, Sony shrugs and says "PS3's region free, anyway."

5) Game is actually canceled, whether it was taking forever, Ueda and Sony just couldn't work together, the game quality was too poor to release, Sony decided to cut their losses, etc.
