This and FF Versus XIII are the biggest jokes in gaming.

Yoshida can't promises The Last Guardian for 2013
- Thread starter toomuch73
- Start date
I feel your pain... I did the same for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Both games were shown WAY too early. They still have some of the best concepts around though (I think).

They just need to make it like Ico, but instead of an annoying girl you're friends with a beast.

They have a while before they're in DNF territory. I suppose you could argue TLG and Versus are the biggest 'ongoing' jokes, but DNF sadly still exists, and is still a much bigger joke that will never go away.
I'd love to see a high-quality game at the end of this fiasco, but with each passing year it just looks grimmer and grimmer.
I really can't believe it has taken this long, and they're still working on the engine. Just unbelievable.
I do hope it manages to make it out on the PS3, I am currently leaning toward PC-only for next gen. At the very least, pull a Twilight Princess, even if it came out on PS4 first.

I'm fine with this. Take your time.
I just watched the E3 2009 trailer again for the first time in a couple of years.
Still ridiculously beautiful, and I still can't help but get amped watching it. It was pretty weird seeing "PS3" in that old spider-man font at the end.
It looks like they had so much done at that point in time, then again the trailer could have been edited in such a way as to make it appear that way, even if it wasn't true. Also, I wonder if after the Ico/SotC Collection, they're possibly trying to do all they can to make this title run at a constant 30 fps, since that was such a prominent criticism of SotC.

Damnit, we should have been looking forward to Quardico / Shico by now

Cancel it already and turn the team into pure technical development.
Well to be fair, I didn't buy it for 'The Last Guardian', I bought it for whatever Team Ico did next. It was announced a while ago, but it's only been three years, that's not so bad realistically.
Not if they end up being Big Bang amazing games.

Wrong thread.
They should've canned it once it entered development hell...
I loved Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, but the state this game seems to be in is pretty sad.
Yeah, I know. I mean... didn't really HATE Final Fantasy XIII but I was disappointed about how it didn't actually feel like your average Final Fantasy game. Moreover I was disappointed with the combat system in that game more than anything. I did get some entertainment from XIII & XIII-2 though. I also get enjoyment from Sega so buying my PS3 wasn't a complete waste.
You definitely are lucky to have only waited 3 years from Team Ico. Beats the heck out of my 7 years. =/
You should be a comedian!!!!

TLG & FFvsXIII could actually be pretty damn compelling as PS4 launch titles.
That, of course, means they will both release on PS3. ;(

I have a strange feeling that with Ubisoft's approach to develop next gen & current gen games, in tandem, Square Enix will likely take a similar approach with their games... maybe even Team Ico too.

God damn it. Might as well be a PS4 launch title at this point.

If it did, it wouldn't be a hope spot any more, would it?

G***n S**n*bi
That's what makes more sense to me at this point.
Yeah, this would be great.
With 7+ years in development I doubt that Sony will ever see their money back. This makes the idea of lauching the game in PS4 even stronger. It will help sell consoles (if it is infact impressive).
I also disagree that it would not break 500.000 on the PS3. SotC sold about 700.000 (read it somewhere).
Why do you say that?

I bought a PS3 for this game...
... and sold it last month, having never played it. Guess you suckered me, Sony. Won't happen again.

They are probably helping.
they say a while ago that different studios where "shipping in" to help with TLG.

If this game isnt next gen then they double fucked up.
Its a Team Ico game so its not going to sell loads anyway. Might as well have it as a early next gen game and get those hardcore guys to buy the ps4 to play it.
If its early enough of the ps4 then people wont mind if it looks a bit like a upscaled ps3 game.

Insane For Sony
All true. The game looked so good that it would not be a shame to put it on PS4 even if it looks just the same but in higher resolution and solid framerate. It looked like it had framerate problems on PS3 last I've seen it anyway. Ah yes, they'd also be able to use proper transparency too.
The problem IMO, is that what they want to do with this game is complex regardless of hardware. If there are no known good solutions for something, not even a supercomputer will help you.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
He didn't confirm the release date, that's the whole point, he *CAN'T* confirm a release date for 2013.

This just reinforces my opinion that Yoshida should step aside and let someone else do the job. They need someone who can take the bull by the horns. I haven't seen much that impresses me about the way he has run things.

Like some others here, the Last Guardian was one of the games that contributed to me buying a PS3. I want the Last Guardian, if it is salvageable at this point, to be on the PS3 I payed for to play it on. With that said, it does appear in Sony's best interest to release the game for PS4. While I don't plan on buying any next gen consoles, I know a strong launch line up can translate to strong early sales which gets third parties to notice and consequently stronger long term sales. It'll disappoint the hell out of me for them to do this, but it makes good business sense. The only way I see this working well for them as a PS3 game that benefits the future of their brand is if they get this out around the time of the PS4 launch and the PS4 is known to be backwards compatible. At least in that sense you might get someone to buy in who ignored Sony this generation, but feel they missed out on some exclusives that they wanted to play and now can on the value-added PS4. The reason why I say around launch is because hype is short lived in the gaming community. It climbs rapidly approaching a game's release, but starts to dissipate soon afterwards. If you don't think that's the truth, go back to an old "most anticipated" thread you posted in and let me know how many games you mentioned that you bought years after they've released. No one is going to buy a PS4 because they missed out on Folklore or Infamous, but they might buy one if there's something more recent to be jealous about. I do hope they get this thing out on PS3, but until Sony shows screens or footage, I'm assuming their withholding the game for the PS4. If this really is still a PS3 game, I just don't see how a company has footage for a game, proceeds to show nothing for years, but still let's everyone know periodically that the game is being intensely worked on and will be released.

I used to care about TLG.
I wish developers wouldn't reveal a game before it has a clear endpoint. Ideally, for me, new games would be completed and released within a year of the initial reveal.
I just don't have it in me to stay hyped for a game for years and years.

It's a PS4 title now, similar to ICO.
