It's like it represents the all hidden possibilities of gaming that is unrealized, unannounced, wholly original, laying in the shadows somewhere, chained up, and one day those chains will break, and whatever it is will blow our god damned minds again. Maybe I'm projecting all that pent up need for something on Shadow of the Colossus's level, maybe its been too long since something truly great came along and changed everything I thought was possible with gaming, but till then, I'm gonna keep the hope alive.

Honestly, he's probably right. It's not like IGN is just some random gaming blog who is fishing for clicks. They're fucking IGN, the biggest gaming site out there. I'm guessing they vetted there sources to the best of their abilities, and then the editors wanted the title more sensationalized.

They said it was 'officially confirmed' to be cancelled. Even if their sources were right, than that still wouldn't have been true.

I really hope this is Sony's way of finding who their leaker is haha. Like Tyrion in Game of Thrones. Shu walks up to the suspected leaker, tells him directly TLG has been cancelled, and waits to see what happens. Now that guy is fired and IGN gets shafted from future press events.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
There it is. That's the look. We've seen it for seven years on post after post. You all despise us. Cynics. Disbelievers. Mods with an anti-Sony bias. You've heard of rumours? The forum was obsessed with them. They loved to watch gamers and press burn, the way their hopes blackened, blistered, melted off their words. They burned developers they didn't like; they burned publishers that disobeyed them; they burned anyone that was against them. Before long, half PR community was against them. NeoGAF saw traitors everywhere, so they had their posters place caches of rumours all over the forum: beneath gaming discussion, the slums of off topic, under posts, titles, avatars, even beneath the Community OT itself. Finally, the day of reckoning came. IGN marched upon the forum after the cancellation at the Team Ico. But Scott Rohde arrived first with the whole Sony army at his back, promising that The Last Guardian still existed. We knew Sony better than that. They've never been one to bank on development hell. We told NeoGAF as much. We urged them to move on. But the forum didn't listen to us, didn't listen to the mods who tried to warn them. But they did listen to Yosp, that grey sunken cunt. "You can trust Sony," he said. "Team Ico has always been developing The Last Guardian." So, we opened discussion and Rohde sacked the forum. Once again qw came to the forum begging them to see reality. They told us to bring them IGN's head. Then they turned to each other, "Ban them all," they said. "Ban them on our forum, ban them in their URLs." Tell us, if your precious community commanded you to ban a popular source of gaming coverage and stand by while thousands of men women and children anticipated a title stuck in development hell, would you have done it? Would you have kept your oath then? First, we changed the thread title, and then when the posters turned to flee we added a stupid poll. "Ban them all!," they kept saying. "Ban them all!" I don't think they expected it to be at E3. They meant to wait for as long as necessary with the rest of us and watch The Last Guardian rise again, reborn as a PlayStation 4 title. We kept the thread open to make sure that didn't happen.

So, here's how I see the situation.

Earlier this morning, some Russian source leaks to a few no-name sites that The Last Guardian has been formally cancelled. It's quickly dismissed, people move on, etc. Saturday resumes.
In the evening, Scott Rhodes is at dinner, the rumor is brought up. He laughs it off. Hahaha, Russia.
All day, IGN waits. They know something. They know the rumor is legit, but wait all night for an additional source. Late at night, around 1AM EST - they get up the confidence to post the rumor with an official tag. Their posting's timing indiciates an additional source that proves the game's end.
GAF explodes.
Rhodes, seeing the madness, replies. Haha, he laughed this very rumor off earlier! Not knowing what else IGN knows, pushing them to delay the news. He tweets.
GAF explodes.
Sony RTs Rhodes.
GAF explodes.

So if we assume IGN is right, they have inside info that hasn't yet hit Rhodes or Sony's official PR firm.
Or we assume IGN is wrong, and they held a story all day for no good reason.

Was this a serious post? How does a game get cancelled at SCE without Rohde or Shu knowing about it?

Bosman with the slam. Spittin' that supah hot fiyah.

This is just hype building for TLG announcement at E3. The reaction would be absolutely insane.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Can Sony be more stupid? They should have kept their mouth shut for only 1 more day now if its indeed not cancelled. Imagine all these cancelled headline on every major gaming site, and Sony end their E3 with the final trailer.

Common?

Remember. The 1th rule of games journalism is to ever admit fault.

IGN are probably working super hard on how to carefully word the next update on that story to deflect the blame onto someone else

edit. they updated it already

Yeah, I have no idea what's happening with this game and could probably see this being true or false. Sony has not exactly been transparent with The Last Guardian, but IGN is terrible at everything they do. If it's not at e3, I think the Japanese version of Jason Schreier (Is there one?) needs to infiltrate Team ICO or something.
