I searched, so sorry if old.
Good news for those looking forward to The Last Guardian - Sony has hinted to us that the game will likely be shown at Tokyo Game Show later this year.
When asked about the lack of an announcement during an interview minutes ago, Sony's Ron Eagle noted that there are "more events on the calendar than just E3" this year. "Read into that what you will."
The Last Guardian is the next game from the Sony Computer Entertainment development team headed by Fumito Ueda that was responsible for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Its lack of appearance at Sony's press conference was one of the biggest complaints among 1UP's staff and readers.
For the sake of clarification, the full transcript of the Last Guardian-specific section of our upcoming interview with two of Sony's product guys is below.
Frank Cifaldi: I've got to ask - where the hell is The Last Guardian?
Scott Rohde: The best way I can answer that is something that Sony does -- and we're very proud of this -- is that we're going to ship a game when we feel it's ready. When it's fully baked and when it's ready. And with everything else that we're showing at this show, we announced a million different things at this show, we just didn't feel that the timing was right to show that product at this show. We're going to show it when it's ready, and when we think that it's worthy to show based on everything else that that developer has done.
FC: When you say 'When the timing is right,' is that in terms of the other announcements around it, or in terms of the game's development?
SR: It's a little of both, but basically we want to make a big splash when we announce that title, and we didn't feel that the timing was right to do it.
FC: So that's going to be a big initiative? Is the game going to be a major focus of your marketing initiatives, is it a key title?
SR: Absolutely. That's Ron's [Eagle, also in the room] department here. I think that we're always going to make a big splash when we announce a big Blu-Ray title, and certainly there's been a ton of anticipation about that. We've announced it before, we've shown it before, we want to do it right.
Ron Eagle: And there's more dates on the calendar than just E3. More events. Read into that what you will. There's nothing official that we can tell you other than The Last Guardian continues in production and we can't wait to show you what Ueda-San has been up to. The game looks fantastic.
FC: So development's going smoothly then? No problems, nothing our readers should worry about?
RE: It's strategic. Let's put it that way.
