Ueda had come out of retirement to take that photo the minute he was 58 years old. Ueda is always lying about his age. He lies about his age all the time. One time Frank Sinatra went to Sony and sat in this chair. I said Frank 'you hang out with Fumito Ueda, just between me and you, how old is he?' You know what Frank told me, he said "Hey, Ueda-san is 137 years old." A hundred and thirty-seven years old!
Legendary!

If everyone had this same sort of rationale, you'd never see a video game on a new console... ever. A ludicrous train of thought.
It's the same guys who made ICO and SotC. It'll be good.
If it was a power issue then retooling it for PS4 just may be the thing to do. Ico was originally a PS1 game too.
Many, that's why its taking so long I think.
Seems they have decided to do it right no matter how many tries it takes.
Thread worthy.

depends on your expectation imo, I think it will at least reach the same level as Ico and SoTC in term of emotional payoff by the end, but if you have too high of expectation, it might lead to disappointment for you. end up getting sour about the game and may even hate it later on

Other than helping them sell systems, like all early generation first party games?
Maybe specifically because it would temper sales expectations. Even without Ueda Team Ico is SCEJ's best hope for a non-PD top tier studio. Letting TLG get lost in the late gen shuffle on PS3 only hurts their credibility. Having it on PS4 early on with even modest critical or retail success backs the argument for giving them another game post-Ueda.
makes sense.
wasn't ICO originally a PSX game, with footage online?....then they changed their minds and developed it for the PS2.
the reassurance here is, ICO still looked amazing for a PS2 game...it didn't look like a title that was suppose to be on a previous console and just moved over for the sake of things.
so, yeah that is what I was worried about initially regarding TLG being moved to the PS4, but now that I think about it I'm sure it'll look amazing for a next gen game.
While I've been kind of irritated by TLG and Versus' prolonged silence, ultimately, it's not as if I'd have not bought a PS3 anyway, even if the promise of the system for me was on the back of two games we'll possibly never see on it, the idea of waiting this long, and missing an entire Sony generation would have been stupid.
I do feel like the PS3 is practically over now, even TLoU which seems like a possibly candidate for the system's swansong, but even that I'm convinced will also be on PS4, and if they confirm that before TLoU ships, I certainly won't be playing it on PS3.

actually, the reason the game got into development trouble is because after that sexist comment backlash, Ueda insist to change the main character into girl while still wearing skirt, but couldn't figure out how to implement the camera so that player can't see under her skirt.
that's why they need help from Santa Monica, who's probably the expert in camera direction in games.

1) it's selig
2) his reasons for a move to Orbis are completely different from the real situation
Crazy how good the PS1 version looked.
Team Ueda games aren't made to sell, they're to have a critical darling, it's a symbolic feather in the cap that is Sony's lineup.
Releasing early in the generation to give the Orbis a must-have exclusive, driving adoption among core fans and starting the console off right, critically, is a much smarter move than shoving it onto a dying console towards the end of its life cycle, it would be prioritising short-term sales over the possible long-term benefits of pushing the Orbis.
That said, the development was so troubled and so secretive for the last couple years, who knows in what state the game is and whether such strategic concerns can even play a role.
I'm definitely beginning to suspect it's a PS4 launch title now.
I'm also suspecting that these titles will appear sometime within the first 6-8 months of the PS4 launch:
The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4
Killzone 4
inFAMOUS 3 (Sucker Punch hasn't announced anything since inFAMOUS 2 wrapped in 2011. I can't imagine them working on anything but a PS4 launch title).
Honestly, those 4 games would get me to purchase a PS4 day one. I actually didn't have plans on buying one until sometime in 2014, but Team Ico, Uncharted, and inFAMOUS is too much to ignore day one.

I have a feeling that Sony gave him "permission" say this.
Nice to know that the game's not dead. It's a real bummer that it's been suspended in development hell for so long, though. Just think: some of the most talented people in the Japanese games industry have been tied up with this project instead of making more amazing stuff.
That's exactly what they are. They are there to give Sony artistic credibility, make them seem more attractive to small time developers, and make them look less like the giant Randian corporation they are.

Exactly my thoughts.
Once Ueda alluded to there being more than one 'creature' I knew it was going to be difficult to execute..given how natural the main creature looks and acts.

damn it, i'm getting depressed now. ico was magical (sotc was great too), and i really hope TLG manages to turn out okay, but the thought of never getting any more team ico games makes me sad. it was good while it lasted though.
PS3. There'd be no way to avoid spoilers for 6 months.
Edit: I'd buy the PS4 version when it came out.
I'd certainly wait.

What I don't understand is... where is he going to go for more creative freedom? Sony is has led the way this generation when it comes to creative freedom more than anyone else. Is he planning on starting his own studio to make iOS games?
PS3 then PS4. But for reasons already stated, I'll go with the earliest.
PS4 confirmed.

Confirmed indeed, read a page back.
Perfect.
Unless we're being trolled...

The total restart thing has me wondering though. I know we've only gotten two or so trailers in many years, but those trailers showed a reasonably functional game with a lot of work having been done. Scrapping all of that would be mind blowing.

I'd probably buy both versions. For eternal fear of spoilers and a general lack of patience, I'd get The Last Guardian as soon as it was humanly possible. Buy the PS3 version, love it, then experience the game again in all its next-gen glory 6 months later.
They're not going to do a dual platform release of this game. No way. All signs point at this being a ps4 game at this point.
With that said, it probably won't look or play much different than what the trailers were showing for ps3. I take it a lot of the work (and ultimately, the look and feel) in ueda's games is the handmade animation
