I don't have a gif for my response.

 

[Canis lupus]

welp...


Going into this gen (2006) I had three main things I was really looking forward to:

-Next gen Silent Hill from Team Silent.
-Next gen Final Fantasy 'trilogy' (i.e. FFI-III on NES, IV-VI on SNES, VII-IX on PS1, etc.)
-Ueda's next game.

After E3 2006, I looked forward to GT5, KZ2, Heavy Rain, FFvsXII and 3 years later at E3 2009 I got hyped again for TLG, Agent and FF14. None of them released. :/

 

[Kyon]

No, it didn't. A much earlier version of the trailer leaked.

PS Lifestyle leaked it 2 weeks before the conference tho.. It was already going to be shown

 

[stuart]

Maybe they're changing the name to The First Guardian, and it's the start of an epic new series

 

[Caelestis]

What if Kotaku got misinformed on that Versus rumor that they wrote and the real game was this?

 

[ledman]

Can't wait to see the new name announcement.

 

[LordCanti]

YouTube or it didn't happen

If they cancel it, youtube proof will be provided.

 

[StuBurns]

That site leaked it 2 weeks before the conference tho.. It was already going to be shown

How do you know though?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[reminder]

They should let SCE Santa Monica finish it.

 

[Eideka]

Changing the name of the game might be a good idea.

 

[Levyne]

I was waiting for you, haha

 

[Meccanical]

Amazing

 

[Kyon]

How do you know though?

I dont... but you honestly think they would show off the game because of the leaked concept trailer video?

 

[stuart]

Haha, this is brilliant! One has to wonder, did you start working on this the moment the thread was made?

 

[Auto_aim1]

How do you know though?

It was the same trailer, but Sony modified it a bit after the leak.

Awesome.

 

[Hero]

Perfect. 10 out of 10.

 

[ironcreed]

I stopped caring awhile back. But who knows? Maybe it's just a name change. Meanwhile, too many other games that will actually release to look forward to. If and when they get their shit together on this, I'll look forward to it again.

 

[rataplein]

Unbelievable amount of misinformation and FUD in this thread.

Sony filed an "Intent to Use" application as a placeholder years ago. Basically, you can file this on the principal register so that no one else can use the mark, but it is conditioned on the actual intent to use the mark. You can just squat on it. They got many extensions, and it seems that they just didn't file this latest one in a timely manner.

http://tdr.uspto.gov/search.action?sn=77750563#

If you look at the extension approval from January 13th, you'll see that they got a 6 month extension, but would have to refile then. It doesn't look like they did. SO, either they just screwed up and forgot, or they are actually abandoning the mark. I would think that it's the first. Having to remember to file these things could slip by someone in their legal department. Keep an eye out; I'm sure they will make a filing soon to remedy this. If not, THEN this thing has been truly abandoned.

Edit: Also, terrible reporting from IGN. It took me 2 minutes to find the history of filings. Granted, I've taken a trademark class, but still, they should have reached out to someone at the very least. Pitiful.

dude, what the hell are you doing??.

you have to post "breaking bad" or at least some "funny" gif. or maybe, "doomed, hhahaha lol"

 

[LordCanti]

gif

Perfect.

 

[Karsticles]

Changing the name of the game might be a good idea.

...why?

 

[Dusky]

Pure gold.

 

[rataplein]

well sunhi gets a pass. amazing

 

[AOC83]

They should let SCE Santa Monica finish it.

The Last Guardian of War.

 

[StuBurns]

It was the same trailer, but Sony modified it a bit after the leak.

No, it's not, the assets are completely different.

EDIT: As that video very clearly shows.

 

[Shikoro]

I knew that the gifs would be amazing. Hell of a work.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

This is what Sony should´ve done to Team Ico years ago:

Okay, I definitely need the source of this gif, I want it on my bloody telly!

 

[jorgeton]

LoL. Incredible. *bow*

 

[ChosenPredator]

 

[Xander51]

Phenomenal. You knocked it out of the park once again.

Sad to see this trademark get dropped. Unless we get a statement from Sony in the near future, I'm taking it as a really bad sign.

 

[Chinner]

wow i really hate how valve are ruining gaming.

 

[inky]

So there are 3 possibilities of what could have happened:

1. Vaporware

2. Namechange

3. Sony forgot to renew the trademark


Am I right?

4. Next Gen

5. Cancelled

6. Given to Nintendo in exchange for Mario

I think that's it.

 

[FerretGamer]

Perfect. 10 out of 10.

Sir, 10 out of 10 has already come out.

 

[Dark Octave]

Name changed? Vaporware?

Name changed to Vaporware.

Spoiler

A long time ago.

 

[Anticitizen One]

They may revive the game next gen with a brand new name

 

[Misguided]

Guys, guys, it's coming next week!

Spoiler

RIP

 

[Auto_aim1]

No, it's not, the assets are completely different.

EDIT: As that video very clearly shows.

Yeah, I guess. That leaked footage was supposed to be a year old. Maybe it did force Sony to actually reveal the game at E3 2009.

However, the game has undergone changes since this was created more than a year ago, and its current status and focus are unknown.

[HyperCubed4]

GAF would be hard pressed to post a better gif than that one in this thread. Oh wow.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Guys, guys, it's coming next week!

Spoiler

RIP

That game was cancelled? oO

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I'll say it once, I'll say it again: I'd rather the game be cancelled at this point, because the insane amount of hype people here have made for it means that it will NEVER live up to those expectations, and basically be looked at as a disappointment when it's released.

 

[shinobi602]

Lol I'm intensely enjoying the ones trying to reassure themselves everything is ok. This game has been in the shitter for the past 3 years and keeps getting worse.

It's dead.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Excellent gif and movie!

 

[deadlast]

Ok Sony... Now shift those resources to the Vita.

 

[Afrikan]

SunhiLegend, I'm in tears here at work man... everyone around me probably think I'm nuts right now with me trying to hold in these laughs.

 

[GCX]

It's sad we haven't even seen anything that would resemble actual real gameplay.

 

[Kaizer]

Incredible and true.

 

[DeviousAngel]

Can't say I'm surprised, to be honest :/

 

[Misguided]

That game was cancelled? oO

LOL no, it's coming out next week via PS Play. Kind of a similar concept.

 

[Neuromancer]

HOLY SHIT

 

[vaelic]

game over. it's dead
