Support NeoGAF

[Radec]

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.

What the fuck did i just read.

 

[Neuromancer]

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

He didn't but that's ok. There's no good answer for it.

 

[BearPawB]

How sony handles moles:

 

[FZZ]

Shouldn't the thread be locked now that IGN has backtracked from their original story?

 

[xkramz]

Lol nice to see someone falling for that bait. It's Youtube comments, they're horrible. I purposefully make comments that will get replies on Youtube just for fun.

Nah bro I don't wanna hear it

 

[EightBitNate]

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

I'd be shocked if this weren't the case already. Still, confirmation would be nice.

Too much fun, can't stop.

 

[disastermouse]

They are likely currently talking with Sony PR (who I'm guessing called them). Taking the story down would have many saying they are trying to hide evidence of their mistake. They need to issue a retraction above the article after confirmation from Sony that the rumor is not true. I understand the Rohdes tweet, but it needs to be confirmed from Sony by phone or email or whatever. Like a more official way.

I love video games - I really do, but immediacy is not actually required here, is it? I was as crestfallen as anyone at the beginning of the thread, but I would imagine an 'Oops, we got this one wrong' would suffice. At some point.

It's 3AM (EST) on a Saturday before E3. Is someone really waking a Sony executive up right now over this?

 

[justjim89]

It's pretty hilarious that, in spite of how much the communities hate each other, /v/ and neogaf pretty much become the same place anytime IGN fucks up.

 

[FleetFeet]

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.

Whoa... if you didn't mean it, why did you post it?

 

[Fox_Mulder]

What if it's really cancelled?

 

[Gaz_RB]

Shouldn't the thread be locked now that IGN has backtracked from their original story?

How could you kill something so beautiful?

 

[Officerrob]

That's the twist.

If it was going to be shown on Monday, wouldn't it have been better to just keep your mouth shut for 40 hours?

 

[EdReedFan20]

Seriously, why can't they just add a "Not" to the headline. Is it that hard?

 

[Buttonbasher]

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

Yeah, the endless stare while assuring a weeping IGN man that things will be okay:

AKA the Jimmy Wales treatment.

 

[gribbles]

What other pieces of news can we expect straight from IGN's (Steve) Butt?

 

[Wyndstryker]

What if it's really cancelled?

Then we'll see a new thread, or this one becoming a billion more pages.

 

[Amir0x]

What if it's really cancelled?

If it's really cancelled, and Scott Rhodes made that tweet... he needs to be fired immediately, and Sony deserves to lose this E3.

 

[Ape]

 

[StoopKid]

What if it's really cancelled?

Why would they lie ?

They already announced ssm cancelled a game.

Seems like someone woke Scott Rohdes up over it

 

[Wishmaster92]

lol

lol, you can't pay for entertainment such as this.

 

[Interficium]

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.

People posting pictures on NeoGaf is not going to "make or break" IGN, much as I might like that to actually happen.

 

[botty]

Speaking of true colors..

[Immaculate]

what the fuck at this thread

Overly sensitive people, knee jerk reactions and just a lot of stupidity in general from people smh

Except they have no obligation to show anything they don't think is ready. A journalist has an obligation to make sure what they are writing is accurate.

 

[Mortemis]

You are insane.

What the fuck did i just read.

Dude has a hard on for hating on Sony WWS. Don't think too much on it.

 

[makingmusic476]

Fuck IGN.

And lololol @ that poll.

 

[TechOne]

Wait.... IGN has a Russia affiliate? You learn something new everyday.

in IGN Russia, game cancels you

 

[tensuke]

GAF about to go down. But gat damn this was the most entertaining thread in a while. I hit rock bottom for a few minutes there, followed by reluctant exuberance, to somewhere in between. But this is NeoGAF dammit, and I'll be damned if I ever stop believing.

 

[Kodaman]

It's not cancelled, they just had to start from scratch... #PS9

 

[EdReedFan20]

You're an idiot.

 

[Stimpack]

Fucking IGN. Ugh.

 

[mario_O]

IGN needs to edit that headline and apologize. This is unbeleiveable.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

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?

Not to mention they ran a story about Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley forcing Amy Hennig out of Naughty Dog, and they were forced to make a statement about it correcting the IGN story.

They are now a complete laughing stock, just as bad as Polygon if you ask me.

 

[213372bu]

I'm laughing at about the same uncontrollably rate as Konami

Spoiler

Just not as long

.

E3 time of the year is so good.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Sony doing some counter intelligence stuff. Someone is going to get fired.

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

Shouldn't the thread be locked now that IGN has backtracked from their original story?

But my pizza just arrived, and I have a nice cold beer .

Don't ruin this for me. This thread can never close.

 

[Mr. Desu]

E3 hype is saved.

not denutted

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Well and the fact the official Playstation Twitter account re-tweeted his comment as well would make it one of, if not THE cruelest lie in gaming.

 

[Issun23]

Wow, I've never seen that footage before... that was amazing. I just got the feeling that they melded the greatest aspects of Ico and SotC together with that footage. I never realized this until now, but that creature is like our own little puppy colossus. Hope they kept that aspect intact.

That aspect is at the very heart of the game. Sony wouldn't bother keeping the game if they changed it so much.

The game was previewed to the media in March 2011 too. Here's an article describing a short segment of gameplay.

 

[Mashin Haters]

I just realized this is just the emotional rollercoaster ride heading straight into E3.

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

 

[Frolow]

Lol man just take your L

You don't have to lie to make friends.

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

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

..uh-huh

Holy shit I'm dying. God bless GAF.

Whoa... if you didn't mean it, why did you post it?

Because posting bait comments on Youtube is fun?

 

[TheJLC]

E3 can't come soon enough. Only a few more hours!

 

[Fandangox]

What if it's really cancelled?

What if reality is cancelled.

 

[reynal1287]

ol nice to see someone falling for that bait. It's Youtube comments, they're horrible. I purposefully make comments that will get replies on Youtube just for fun.

lol right.

 

[gimmmick]

Why is IGN reporting rumors as facts?
