[gimmmick]

I think I'm The Hound in this one. Surely they are many of you just laughing maniacally.

LOL Golden.

 

[orochi91]

Given the gravitas of the tone and the position of these two people, it does seem pretty official. I'm not sure the Editor in Chief would post something like this without adding "rumour" if they weren't confident about it.

Yea.

It's official.

No matter how good their E3 is tomorrow, this news will overshadow pretty much
anything for the next few months.

 

[Cess007]

Okey, this gif made the pain fade away a little xDU

 

[KiDdYoNe]

That's fucking weird. With retweets and stuff. Pretty sure that IGN.com's news are coming from russian IGN, which is "holy fuck what did i just read?". And ruIGN article is just a write-up from the words of two journos. I wouldn't say i don't trust them, they are alright guys but damn, news this big coming from them? But that's the old story alright.

Holy shit those retweets. I never was hyped for The Last Guardian, but it was really interesting project. Hopefully they will make something different then.
P.S. Love the subtitle.

 

[Immaculate]

So many of will eat so much fucking crow and I will quote each and everyone of you. It won't be and isn't cancelled

 

[fvng]

NO

WHY

 

[funkystudent]

So. Shuhei Yoshida resign? Yay or Nay?

So far this year.

Naughty Dog loses one of the best creative forces in the industry as well as a game director mid project
Cancelled a new IP with $100m already spent at SSM. 50 long time staff fired
Launch game Driveclub delayed a full year
Guerrilla games has been working on a new IP for 3 years that "isnt ready to show" and who knows if it will even see the light of day
The Last Guardian killed after 8 years in development



Thats a lot of expensive cockups. I dont know about you but IMO heads must roll.

 

[WilyRook]

Shit. I can't wait to read the whole internal story about this thing one day.

 

[HardRojo]

I would like to read all about the development of this title just to know what went wrong all these years.

 

[Heretic]

The Second to the Last Guardian is still a GO though, right!?

 

[Vire]

A huge FU to Sony for continuing to egg us on saying the game was in still in development and making good progress.

Seriously, go fuck yourself.

 

[FourMyle]

.

LMAO perfect

i could almost hear his voice as he moved his lips

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

 

[newjeruse]

This... cant be life?

 

[HooYaH]

Beast Souls demos killing the last Guardian in trailer at E3. Many will cry in the theaters.

 

[todd360]

Because even IGN isn't this fucking stupid.

I don't know man. They love their click bait. I could seem them doing it without 100% certainty.

 

[LGom09]

I'm genuinely sad.

 

[Loudninja]

What the hell have they been doing this whole time?

Team ICO don't really exist no more do they?

 

[TetraGenesis]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Ghost Slayer]

FUUUUUUUUUUU.........UUUUUUUUCK

Ahahahahahahahahaha...............
now I am crying :'(

 

[Kevtones]

the game should have been cancelled years ago. how can a studio take an entire generation to produce a game and still have nothing to show for it?

TOO HUMAN

 

[Danny 117]

Oh wow. Its so shocking it's sort of funny. Was pretty certain this would be the year it would be shown at Sony's presser.

Welp.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Steve Butts?

When something smells, it's usually the Butts.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Video game "journalists" reporting Russian tweets as fact. And people say 24/7 TV news is bad. Holy fuck if this turns out to be false who ever ran that article should get fired.

 

[Gorillaz]

I will say this, Sony's E3 just got a bit more interesting......or depressing

 

[gorfyako]

Fantastic.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

I have decided not to believe this till Sony say so.

also, it might have been canceled for PS3. not PS4 lol

gotta believe

 

[Tmac]

wtf!

 

[Zeyphersan]

You evil, evil genius. You motherfucker.

 

[Mushroomer25]

This will be a legendary thread.

Inevitably someone will be pissed that they only bought a PS3/PS4 for this.

Jesus christ.

There are probably people who bought TWO DIFFERENT CONSOLES for this game.

 

[I-hate-u]

Yeah which is fishy.

Usually if something is true, you stay silent.

With this, IDK.

But its 1:40 am in EC on a Sunday :/

 

[Professor Beef]

Now we just need Versus to be official too.

Versus is actually a thing, though.

 

[fastballspecial]

Steve Butts says it's official...

 

[Buzzman]

TLG might be cancelled but what if Team ICO and Ueda already started to make a new project on PS4?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Graphics Horse]

Because even IGN isn't this fucking stupid.

Triology

Do people really expect a new,' team ico' game really? We already had Rain which reportedly used some scrapped stuff from TLG.

 

[krypt0nian]

Given the gravitas of the article and the position of these two people, it does seem pretty official. I'm not sure the Editor in Chief would post something like this without adding "rumour" if they weren't confident about it.


And thus the thread title:

"The Last Guardian cancelled - Stage One: Denial"

Same people posted the lies about Druckman and Henning.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Guess I need to revise my bingo card.

Edit: lol

 

[BouncyFrag]

It's time to let it go...

 

[RE_Player]

Tweet Yoshida. We need a response!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Well this sucks, but I figured it was inevitable. Ueda really was the vision behind this game, and his departure + constant delays signaled something to me. At least Shadow of the Colossus is gonna last.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I don't want to believe 🙈🙈🙈

 

[Takamura-San]

RIP in peace.

I never hoped for it, though it would have been a nice surprise. Hopefully team Ico works on something new.

There's no Team ICO. Ueda is not a Sony employee. He's contracted to finish TLG. If the project is dead, I don't see a reason why Sony should fund another one.

 

[Chucker]

I feel like we should have known this would happen. When the change from PS3 to PS4 happened, it should have been the death knell. Sony told us they couldn't do backwards compatibility from 3 to 4 because of the architecture of the systems.

Fine, I understand that, and am ok with that. TLOU team says going from 3 to 4 was nothing short of a bear (paraphrasing), how would Team ICO be able to figure that mess out if they couldn't scrape anything together after announcing it forever ago.

 

[Cygnus]

A huge FU to Sony for continuing to egg us on saying the game was in still in development and making good progress.

Seriously, go fuck yourself.

Let it all out guy

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

GOD IS DEAD

THE DREAM IS DEAD

WE ARE LIVING IN A DARK TIME

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

To be fair we don't know for sure Druckmann didn't force out Hennig.

We don't know for sure, but didn't both parties come out and say "nobody forced anybody, that rumor is BS"?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I think we may have skipped directly to depression tbh.

 

[Pathos]

RIP in piece

 

[Loudninja]

A huge FU to Sony for continuing to egg us on saying the game was in still in development and making good progress.

Seriously, go fuck yourself.

So do you know when it was supposedly canceled?

 

[Byronic Hero]

Hehe. I'm not surprised. Now it can finally rest in peace.
