I wonder what kind of reaction people would give if when the Last Guardian is released, it turns out the game is a bad one.

Probably a super many lots of denial.

It'd be like Bioshock Infinite, imo. Ton of gaffers would claim to have seen it coming.

 

[zeromcd73]

Obvious Sony misdirection so they can surprise us at E3 this year.

Won't fool me that easy!

 

[Mista]

Update: Sony confirms that the game is still in development

Another year, another confirmation and we still havent seen anything.

Phew. For a moment I thought the game would never release...

Spoiler

/s

 

[Koh]

I fully expect an official update this year. Whether it's a trailer or a release date or the game releases, i don't know.

I still believe the game exists and will be released. Fortunately I'm not one of those people who is already sold on this game, so waiting is infinitely easier.

 

[BGBW]

What if Nintendo...?

...calls the next Zelda game The Legend of Zelda: The Last Guardian?

http://www.psu.com/feature/25887/Which-PS5-feature-is-most-important-to-you

As soon as a new console launches, speculation begins about the next new piece of technology.

If we take a look through PlayStation history, the gap between console launches has been approximately five to six years, though the wait for the arrival of the PS4 came seven years after the launch of PS3. Though Sony hasn’t followed a set pattern, it seems likely that the PS5 release date will arrive 5-7 years after the launch of the PS4. So, we’re looking at somewhere between 2018-2020.

Which PS5 feature would you most like?

Well, just one thing.....

The Long Awaited Guardian: The Last

 

[Ushojax]

Not cancelled. The Last Guardian is still in development.

If the game was really 'in development' in the way that most games are, they would show something. How many years did we hear that Ghostbusters 3 was 'in development'? It's all bullshit.

It's much easier to pretend the game still exists than admit it was cancelled years ago and have to endure the painful questioning over how their best studio fell apart. The director of the game doesn't even have anything to do with the project anymore, that is not normal for games that are 'in development'.

 

[pelican]

No longer care.

 

[Rock Howard]

I triple guarantee you, The Last Guardian will finally be re-revealed at E3 2015!

 

[Benzychenz]

I wonder what kind of reaction people would give if when the Last Guardian is released, it turns out the game is a bad one.

Probably a super many lots of denial.

What about the reaction of after 10 years of hype, the game releases and is 5-8 hours long (which would be likely looking at Ico and SotC)

 

[Three]

They are just renaming it to ICO2 or SotC2.

Yes, that's what I'm going to tell myself.

 

[Wyndstryker]

It's dead.

Much easier to keep going thinking it's long gone and be pleasantly surprised if it comes out, than to keep believing it's alive and not see it released ever.

 

[SniperHunter]

Team ico has been dead for a while

 

[KooopaKid]

Wait for E3.

 

[jfoul]

Don't let me down Shuhei Yoshida. You don't want to become the new "Don't believe his lies." meme.

 

[Raonak]

I'm 80% sure it's still alive, just renamed.

It's not rocket science isn't it ?

They burned themselves with an reveal that took place way too early, they obviously don't want to repeat the same mistake again.
They'll reveal it, once they hit state of development where you can be absolutely sure that the game will be released.

If the game was cancelled, the way to avoid negative pr would be stating it, not keeping that discussion about the status of the game up.....

[uomoartificiale]

Ok. Let me call it.

The old ps3 game is dead and gone by at least two years. The "new" last guardian started development from scratch sometimes one year ago. So we get a teaser at e3 and we are at best two to three years away from release.
Also, I can see the sony worldwide branch getting a very reliable studio to oversee development (santa monica?), to keep the project on track.

 

[Sidewinder]

Made a set of gifs, I still believe in the second one (or TGS obviously...)

I get the feeling this game will be released the same year it be re-revealed (possibly within 4 months) just to overcompensate for the delay

 

[Gnub]

Viva la First Guardian.

 

[Artex]

Don't you people get tired of Saint these things???

No, it's going to happen. E3 or TGS this year.

 

[Ushay]

New name I reckon, I swear this game was confirmed to be in development?

 

[Artex]

Made a set of gifs, I still believe in the second one (or TGS obviously...)

Lol...brilliant.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Even if this game is eventually released, it is already dead to me. All the hype I had for it died a long time ago.

 

[kinoki]

"Will eventually see the light of day."

That could mean that the only people still willing to play it is living in a basement and have limited lighting conditions.

 

[Steel]

Not cancelled. The Last Guardian is still in development.

Would be hilarious if someone made an indie game in the meantime named "The Last Guardian" just to take the trademark.

They could rename it The_Last_Guardian

 

[0coolclimate0]

I'm over it. They need to let it die or make something happen. It feels like I'm waiting for a unicorn that I KNOW is never going to come.

 

[PanicFreak]

It will now be called "The Lost of Us" and be part of an extended universe where the boy learns to ride a giraffe.

Just like the other thread lool.

 

[exmachina64]

According to that GameSpot article, the responsible party for renewing the trademark at SoA apparently didn't know they were still making the game.

TO BELIEVE, OR NOT TO BELIEVE??
THAT IS THE QUESTION.

I don't believe it, it's never coming out.

[III-V]

Sony has waited until the right time to reveal.

Previously, the market was flooded with way too many boy-meets-jackalopebird titles to make it smart, economically. People forget that gaming is big business.
