Wow, I mean wow. Total restarts. Wow. So something totally like what happened with Duke Forever then.
Mods, can we get a topic change, because we got us a megaton GAF exclusivo here.
Total restarts are the only way a game can be in development for SEVEN YEARS, guys.
TLG would have followed a normal Team Ico schedule (up to 4 years from conception to release), otherwise.
But yeah. Ueda pushed for the game to be on PS4, just like how he pushed for Ico to be on the PS2 way back in 1999/2000.
Except the difference here is that Ico / Shadow of the Colossus didn't have total project restarts.
Oh sure, RE4 and that. But then those game ideas get used, maybe spun off (DMC for instance). Team Ico havent put out a brand new money making product for 8 years.
I'm willing to bet you money that Team Ico is getting shut down after TLG releases. Ueda saw the writing on the wall and got out early.
