i thought we'd keep.this rumour in the other thread.
Knack was pretty great.
Knack was developed by a team at Sony Japan Studio which... is the same studio that would have been making TLG anyway. At least, supposedly making it.
I don't think people really understand how Studio Japan operates. The "teams" are floated around from project to project depending on development needs. "Team Ico" is just the name of the core group of creatives that are led by Ueda and the same goes for "Team Cerny" (core group of creatives led by Cerny for development of Knack). Basically the teams are labelled as such for whatever project they are working on not the people in the team and as such these teams can and do get regularly rotated and changed depending on the needs of the project. It's a fluid system they are not independent entities. It is absolutely a given that some of the staff from Cerny's project would also be working on the Last Guardian.
Yeah, I'm not seeing the shocking news here. I was always under the impression that Sony Japan was more or iess one pool of resources that got shifted around as projects entered and left full production or needed a push towards release.
Hope not. Knack is POS, so they should avoid participating in any form.
sure, unless time is linear
Knack is the most mediocre game I've ever played.
At least they were able to actually ship a game.

I'm curious with the end result of this. For now though, my reaction is like this:
You haven't played many games then.
PIMO Knack only barely qualifies as a game.
knack outsells mario in the uk, your opinions are flawedIMO Knack only barely qualifies as a game.
why are people worried about the Knack developers ruining TLG? Knack was disliked because of its gameplay, and ICO/SotC aren't really well-received because of how great their gameplay was. Hell, they're petty minimal in it, iirc.
Edit: this rumor caused my TLG hype to plummet, lmao
IGN will report that sources tell them Microsoft is planning to pick up The Last Guardian for "billions"

Yeah, that's what I thought. "Team ICO" is literally just anybody who is available for Ueda to poach.
In fact I swear I remember a quote from Yoshida or someone a couple years back where they outright said in response to a TLG question that Japan Studio was busy making things like Knack for launch, implying that there were very little to no staff working on TLG out of a simple lack of personnel.
I hope the game is re-announced and released this year so people would shut up about it already
First Cerny saves PlayStation, then The Last Guardian.
He is truly a saint.
Knack has always felt like a video game tie-in to a Dreamworks movie that doesn't exist.Knack is thoroughly mediocre in every single way except perhaps graphics (and not artistically, but technically).
That's not to say it's a bad game. But it's not... a good game.

believe.What if Stella comes out in TLG instead?
Sorry vivek, you're an insider now.
Yes, and then we can finally turn all our attention to Agent.
Tell them how thug feel buddy.Knack is the worst game I have played on the PS4, so I hope they don't have too much to do with it.

In fact I swear I remember a quote from Yoshida or someone a couple years back where they outright said in response to a TLG question that Japan Studio was busy making things like Knack and Puppeteer, implying that there were very little to no staff working on TLG out of a simple lack of personnel.
I can't remember that quote but I can remember Gavin Moore (Puppeteer's director) saying that Puppeteer had been put on hold for a while because their team had been moved over to work on The Last Guardian. Then TLG hit whatever snags it did and staff were moved back onto Puppeteer.
The OP isn't a rumour, it's how Japan Studio is structured. No different to how Uncharted 3's team worked on The Last of Us.
