They only said "Sony doesn't comment on rumors or speculation". Which is the industry way of saying "Yes, but we can't confirm it right now".
Technically speaking, there is absolutely no way this game can be ported on a portable system. It needs a more powerful system to be handled correctly as i suspect the major issue with this game is the technical side of it.
GT5 also uses assets from GT4. 6 years of dev to only have majority of the cars be from GT4. lol
Moved to Vita or PS4.

Hopefully they pull a Capcom and blame the fans if it turns out to be cancelled.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Do you think that a company would prefer to play a joke and give money away rather than keep your money in a bank collecting interest?
Under contract to finish the game if it still exists.
Im not sure that they said anything official about Ueda until they confirmed his departure a few weeks after the rumor. We all pretty much assumed he was gone because of their silence.
Kinectimals was just testing the waters

I'd say this is what's likely to happen.
Yeah, I don't remember them saying a direct no about either Director or Producer.
Though to be fair, we don't have to look very far to find them saying no about something and then a week later it proving to be true.
PSP Redesign and PS3 price drops happened with in days of each other if I remember right.

I'm glad people are trusting gamestop's word over Sony's denial.
wait what
wait what
oh yeah I forgot about that, I remember now checking the gaf thread and seeing the outrage. I think it was the non premium cars (like 800 or so of them) were GT4 models and they looked hideous in screenshots. Man what a mess.
Sony's japan studios have really hit the brake this generation.

Because Gamestop is giving away the free money they got from preorders, not something they'd do lightly. They like money. A lot.
After they finish STALKER 2

SCEJ is the biggest joke ever.
Not going to argue this.
My point is the amount of time and money it would take to do this are probably huge, and given the amount of sales Last Guardian would get, if it follows the trend of other Team Ico games could well below what Sony is willing to spend to see the rest of development finished on PS3 alone, let alone moving the title to PS4.

Gamestop....
Release bullshit info about game being canceled.
Cancel everyone's pre-order.
Force everyone to go to one of their shitty stores again to go through all the pre-ordering crap again once they realize they are morons for jumping to conclusions.
Power to the player.

Sony also took a long time to tell us PSN was hacked & our CC information was stolen. TLG being canned wouldn't surprise me.

Some one here wrote that looking at a picture of Ueda with the beast thing on a TV behind him. It was pretty funny, not sure if I could ever find that exact post again.
Just too many bad vibes surrounding this project. It'll either be canned before e3 or have some glorious resurrection and firm shipped date.
Either way it'll all come out in the wash, sooner rather than much later.

it's not really the best time to announce that one of your most hyped exclusive game is hitting the bin. two days before christmas and the eventual post-holiday sales events. I already seen a few peoples claims this was one of the games they were getting a ps3 for.

I would/could argue that they push used game sales/trade-ins far, far beyond anything other such retailers do. If I'm not mistaken, their club card specifically gives discounts on used games (and not new), and workers are told to suggest to customers that they buy the used copy of a game versus new.
I know that other retailers sell used games, but I think it can be argued they don't place such a heavy push behind those sales like GameStop does.
Pretty much this. Sony just wasn't ready to tell the world.
It's cancelled when we say it's cancelled!

Would Sony confirm this by talking to Kotaku and IGN separately or would they make a formal announcement? Is there precedent for this? 
Oh I see. Thanks!
Oh I see. Thanks!
PD sold 15 million worth of games in that time, so really an bad choice of example

It'd be pretty funny if the big Game Informer tease is related to this. I dunno, I haven't been following that thread so I'm not sure if it's already been figured out, but that thread title has me wondering...
edit: Oh, that's confirmed to be an unannounced title. Carry on...

Gamestop also pushes pre-orders for new games heavily.
Many of their customers pre-order for the sole reason they can trade in for credit toward future purchases. It sounds like you're just focusing on their "bad" side.

And accessory and strategy guide purchases. Pretty low in my book.

My new theory is that Gamestop is tired of carrying over the pre orders and went to Sony and asked them for a rough estimate of release date and Sony told them they have no clue so Gamestop is just treating that like they would a cancellation.
So GS expects it to bomba and don't wanna carry it!
