I was looking at what games are releasing over the next few months and saw this. Notice the genre of the Last Guardian? Seems metacritic has all the jokes.

Sorry about the large pic, posting from my iPad.

That's not a joke, though.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

They didn't update the genre in the database to reflect what we know as of two E3s ago. Wasn't a joke when they first edited it to 'Vaporware' though. Shrug.

 

[nikos]

I actually LOLed at this.

 

[stump sock]

they meant to type ～Ｖ　Ａ　Ｐ　Ｏ　Ｒ　Ｗ　Ａ　Ｖ　Ｅ～

 

[MarioHead3]

That's not a joke, though.

All that will be on the disc is HD video of all the game's files being deleted.

 

[udivision]

Probably just hasn't been updated, I guess.

Even with it's return to existence, it's still not really getting much coverage.

 

[Noobcraft]

Vaporware. Not a joke, TLG is just going after the previously untapped vape market.

 

[adamsapple]

heh .. that's actually pretty good.

 

[CraigerGamer]

They did though. Click in the game and they state the genre is action adventure.

 

[?oe?oe]

Also remake is a genre.

(remake x2 is also a genre)

 

[Gentleman Jack]

They did though. Click in the game and they state the genre is action adventure.

Then I don't know. I don't think that Metacritic the organization is honestly making a joke that TLG is 'Vaporware.' It could still very likely be some kind of omission or error.

It might be that someone set it as a "vaporware" game during the period where it was ambiguous if it was still coming out or not, for database purposes. I think most game databases have toggles like that for cancelled games and such.

Someone probably just forgot to update it on that one page. Or maybe decided to leave it for fun.

They remade it and then delayed it so they could remake it again.

 

[shandy706]

X-D

Well played MC.

 

[legacyzero]

My God... October is fuckin STACKED. I have a feeling I'll still be playing Clustertruck though lol

 

[SwiftDeath]

I won't believe TLG is a full and realized, released game until I can play it remastered on the PS5

 

[Curufinwe]

Well, every announced but not released game can be called vaporware according to Chris Kohler, so it is still accurate for TLG if you go by that bizarrely broad definition.

 

[Ricky_R]

Not gonna lie, shit made me laugh.

 

[silva1991]

It's my most anticipated game this year and I still laughed.

 

[astrogamer]

Steep is somehow eSports?

 

[jnWake]

It had more coverage before its return.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Not gonna lie, I laughed.

 

[Danis Saur]

That's funny actually.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Lol that's funny actually

 

[xzeldax3]

I won't believe it's real until I have it in my hand

 

[CraigerGamer]

i kinda wish vaporware was a real genre.

 

[Aters]

Also remake is a genre.

(remake x2 is also a genre)

This gets me good. I mean we all know vaporware is a joke, but they are probably serious about remake as a genre.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Metacritic stays winning

 

[Ricky_R]

It seems Metacritic is dead serious.

 

[Broken Joystick]

That's amazing.

 

[andythinkpad]

* not a joke

 

[Primethius]

Amazing.

iPads can crop in the photos app.

Thanks. I'll have to check that out.

 

[10k]

Metacritic never jokes. This is true.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

groundbreaking stuff!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Steep is eSports

 

[CraigerGamer]

Steep is eSports

I was wondering what that meant. So should I even bother finding out what the game is because I'm not competitive?

 

[Dunkley]

All that will be on the disc is HD video of all the game's files being deleted.

The game will release as a HD video where the development team thanks you for your patience and asks you to be excited for the patch that will actually contain the game.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Thats not a joke tho.

 

[Kurdel]

Too many games, Jesus Christ

 

[Alebrije]

Well at least Sony has created a new genre

 

[GravityInsanity]

What was a joke turned into reality. OP you must know something we don't.

 

[names2hard4you]

They knew all along.
