Support NeoGAF

[LuuKyK]

Nah. I'm just laughing my ass off that people are honestly digging up my youtube comment trolling as evidence of my "fanboyism". Gotta love GAF sometimes.

Surely you dont expect people to believe in this lame excuse right?

Hey at least they updated their article so everyone can see:

Are you fucking kidding me? They really just did that?

 

[bigboss370]

We regressed from stage 2 to stage 1.5
That means if we keep going back we can reach the stage where it wasn't canceled, right?

we did it!!

ha, i fucking called it (pg. 3):

seems like they're using the same russian source who got word from "an internal meeting"

 

[EdReedFan20]

Still haven't changed the headline though. I keep refreshing and on the main page it keeps going between The Last Guardian is Canceled and The Last Guardian is No More. I guess they can't choose which wrong headline they like better. Jeez!

 

[Amir0x]

Because they won't take it down? I'm not understanding the frustration at this point.

Ok, first of all, as I said, this is the billionth thing IGN has done to show they're shit. When they did their XBOv.PS4 tech comparisons, they made a knowingly deceptive chart that was not only wildly inaccurate, but made it seem as if the two were nearly equal. They consistently fail to edit the garbage out of their reviews, which feature endless errors, factual inaccuracies and fucking garbage bin writing.

And now they do this? If they got a rumour wrong, that's fine. It happens. When Scott Rhodes says your rumour is wrong without any hesitation, no caveats, then you change your article and say you're mistaken. It's that simple. They have a duty to do that for their customers who click their articles and pay for their atrocious site with ad revenue.

Why is it that people think not getting angry at things like that equals maturity?

 

[Wishmaster92]

Do we know any leakers who are Russian?

Yes, "Dima"

 

[Donthizz#]

Sony hunting leakers, watch out!! Not surprised after the project beast leak.

 

[Danielsan]

This is some thread to wake up to.

 

[Raab]

.

I remember when his head was cropped in that all over IGN. Still terrified to this day.

 

[rokkerkory]

Ign on damage control

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Can the maintenance wait?

 

[vpance]

So Sony found their mole at Japan Studio. Probably the same one that leaked all the Project Beast stuff...

 

[serenewarfare]

This threads has me looking forward to the Last Guardian review thread in 10 years.

 

[benny_a]

I guess IGN Russia could be a source. If they have a source, that's two sources.

If IGN Australia speaks to IGN France that speaks to IGN Italy and phones to IGN Spain that got a mail from IGN Russia then that's 6 sources.

 

[FourMyle]

Rohde's tweet is pretty damn arrogant in actuality.

"Oh yes, Yosp and I had a hearty laugh that people might think a game we haven't shown or discussed in any substantive way for nearly five years might be canceled. Silly little plebeians!!"

It's actually nearly more infuriating than IGN's article given the tone deafness of it.

lol

 

[EightBitNate]

That new IGN tweet really is beginning to convince me that Sony planted a fake story to catch a mole.

 

[Filaipus]

Like, why would the Editor in Chief run such a news if the information wasn't credible? What the... IGN gone mad.

 

[LycanXIII]

 

[Dennis]

IGNore

 

[foxuzamaki]

I mean, let's run down the possibilities here:

1) It's true and Sony doesn't want to say anything yet, so they issued a denial.

2) It's not true but IGN was lead to believe it through usually credible sources that were themselves given wrong or incomplete information.

3) It's not true and IGN took very weak sources and ran with them irresponsibly.

The third one is a really, really heavy accusation and basically torpedoes them as a news source. It's possible, but would have had to be done damn near drunkenly for an editor to post it.

The second one seems the most likely to me. I don't really buy the "Sony was trying to root out leakers" theory, but I can easily see people just getting it wrong. If this is the case and IGN didn't knowingly put up a false story, they might be trying to find out where in the chain the information breakdown happened before they acknowledge it as false.

option 2 seems the most likely.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Well, this night has been fun.

 

[kingkitty]

This was amusing.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Nah. I'm just laughing my ass off that people are honestly digging up my youtube comment trolling as evidence of my "fanboyism". Gotta love GAF sometimes.

This thread really is amazing.

 

[shinra-bansho]

I don't see where he actually answered your question...

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Just my opinion, but from my times of not knowing any better and using IGN as my only source for gaming information Steve Butts is a pretty great guy. I don't believe he would post something like that if his sources didn't tell him so. They were clearly wrong but anyway that's just one fans observation.

 

[vinnygambini]

The IGN comments section is golden.

 

[Josman]

It's fun to see everyone's true colors in this thread lol.

Speaking of true colors..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPIDz920G4c&list=UUjNNDf5qZec_fkYqANkWMTQ

What a gem LOL, can't be quoted enough times, it's incredible how The Last Guardian makes go bananas.

 

[Officerrob]

They are going to ride this out through Monday huh?

Who says it shows up Monday?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Wow. It didn't occur to them that maybe it was because it's now (likely, I know nothing) for PS4?

yeah exactly

 

[KAP151]

Jesus IGN, chance the fucking headline. Putting a * with a footnote is douchey at best.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

lol

LOL. Followed.

Holy shit it's almost dinner time at work

 

[Amikami]

Ooops. Wrong thread.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

It's never coming out on PS3.

 

[EdReedFan20]

So Sony found their mole at Japan Studio. Probably the same one that leaked all the Project Beast stuff...

Ooooooh! Maybe!

 

[zhorkat]

That makes it sound like they only ever had the one source.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Speaking of true colors..

This is the best post in the thread.

you're pretty sensitive.

 

[Immaculate]

Nah. I'm just laughing my ass off that people are honestly digging up my youtube comment trolling as evidence of my "fanboyism". Gotta love GAF sometimes.

..so you're just gonna shrug it off like its nothing

..uh-huh

 

[gribbles]

 

[Ishan]

agree. and this will kind of make or break IGN. If they were right they actually will get believed very well. If not "the Last Guardian cancellation" will almost become a meme against IGN imo.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Surely you dont expect people to believe in this lame excuse right?



Are you fucking kidding me? They really just did that?

Just a joke.

Spoiler

But it's not like I had to shrink the update much from the original...

 

[Castcoder]

I leave for a few hours to play Wild Star, and I come back to THIS!

 

[Ape]

IGNore

This is good.

 

[MrCunningham]

Maybe they canceled the game for the PS3 and moved it over to the PS4?

 

[Bsigg12]

Who says it shows up Monday?

That's the twist.

 

[RoKKeR]

Well, this night has been fun.

"As the story develops".

Give me a break, lol.

 

[Soul Beat]

I leave for a few hour and this happens? Damn. lol I'll never log off again.

You are insane.

 

[Prompto]

What a night this has been. I'm loving my first E3 on gaf already.

 

[Phlebas]

Jesus IGN, chance the fucking headline. Putting a * with a footnote is douchey at best.

Absolutely garbage site really, how can they not edit the title?

 

[MikeXXIeaf]

I don't believe he would post something like that if his sources didn't tell him so. They were clearly wrong but anyway that's just one fans observation.

This is what I'm saying.

Say what you want about IGN, but they wouldn't post something up just to mess with people. I'm sensing that people feel personally slighted by this.
