![Sony says The Last Guardian is 'on hiatus' [Update] photo](http://www.destructoid.com//ul/256084-766-t.jpg)
Well a little late for some who already tossed out their PS3 out the windows because of this mistake. * retrieves PS3 *
I think GameStop should have just kept insisting it was cancelled. Even stocking it on shelves at launch but refusing to let anybody buy it.
GS doing this just got Sony alot of free press though. Couple this with it being the directors last game for Sony this game will sell like hot dicks at a wiener convention.
With the way Sony has been trying to fuck over the used games market with online passes, I'm not sure why Gamestop would want to give Sony "free press".
No, that theory is fucking stupid.

Two key The Last Guardian executives left Team ICO to make Facebook games instead of creating what would be a very creative and artistic game on the Playstation 3??

I knew the cancellation announcement would be perfect cover to sit in Jim's bushes and throw rocks at his windows.
STOP TRYING TO CANCEL GAMES AND RUIN CHRISTMAS, GAMESTOP!
...thanks for the wicked B2G1 sales, btw. So much games. :D

I would like to point out that this game is having a very tumultuous development, has had its lead designer and executive producer quit, and has barely released any new info in over a year. What else was GameStop supposed to do?
Just Don't Take away my Giant Chicken Dog T_______T
Want Game Soooo Bad, Next to the Ico/Shadow and Disgaea this was one of the reasons to own a PS3. With all the Spooky powers GS seems to have over Nintendo (See: voodoo) causing them to release games at its whim, this initial announcement made me sad.
Glad that its hopefully just a false alarm (I know the development for this game has been rocky but hell Starcraft2 took the better part of a decade+)

For clarification: I am assuming that GSs apparent voodoo like powers over Nintendo would somehow translate into voodoo like powers with Sony or at least spooky prognostication powers or something >.>
Eh, I got 60 bucks back. Lost all interest in it, so I bought some MSP instead, along with some Hardees.

But we never have the release date in our computers for pre-orders. They just stick a dummy release date in the computer and change it when the actual date is known.
That seems like a bit of a weird policy to me, though. Surely there are plenty of games that don't have a concrete release date yet, so why aren't those being declared "cancelled"?
Ah well, I'm just happy it's still in development. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
Well I guess that's good news, now I feel bad about talking shit about it on Twitter.
Nothing has really changed now though, betting it's gonna be years before this game comes out. It will become Versus XIII after Versus XIII finally releases (on February 32nd 2013)

Sony: it's not canceled GS: proof it. Sony: -.- GS: you expect us to believe it's still their? "sony shows TLG HD dev walkthrough". GS: final fantasy versus xiii is canceled.
I wonder if GameStop was right and the game was canceled. But Sony's is spinning the PR to delay the announcement until after the holidays to maintain sales of the PS3 hardware.

This is the ONLY reason I have a PS3. The only reason I had a PS2 was for SotC, Grand Theft Auto III and Final Fantasy X.
@TwinDad
Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. Outright saying a game is canceled is kind of a big deal, especially one this big.

"Because the game did not have a specific release date, GameStop made the decision to remove the game from our system. The Last Guardian will be reinstated for pre-order when a firm launch date is known."
Well, that means the webmaster or whoever has a lot of work to do doesn't it? I mean theres tons of games with pre-order status with no confirmed launch date. I've got a whole Amazon wishlist full of them.
@Jim
I'd love to see that, and I'd love to see the reaction. If they're gonna troll, mine as well go all in.
Shit, I'd like to see them do this with something absolutely exclusive to them.. Seems like any number of the new Nintendo items would do (CIRCLE PAD PRO!)

I know you can't fact check every single post, but some of the stanger, more unexpected happenings on the Internet might deserve a call to GameStop headquarters or Square Enix. That way we stop this going back and forth, and Destructoid can be regarded as a leader in gaming journalism, rather than floating with the other driftwood on the tides of the Internet.
This is awesome I love it when all you fucks get in a uproar because a game "might" have been canceled. Love the chaos it ensues.
@flintmech
With all due respect it's really Sony trying to screw the used game market it's more the developers/publishers doing it. Also I would mainly like to blame this on EA just like how I blame Activision on the $15 price tag on map packs.

Funny how Sony had to bitch slap Gamestop for pulling this bullshit... unfortunately looking at Sadness, GS will continue their questionable business practices.
Hmm. All hope might not be lost, then. Considering how long the game has been in development and two of the main guys from Team Ico have left I'm still pessimistic about the game ever being released, and if it is that it will actually be good. As much as I love Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, the loss of two key team members and the amount of dev time the game has took is ominous to say the least.
It surprised me to know end that consumers put up with gamestop at all. The corporation is such a cheezy experience. They sell used game for the same price that you can find them new else where. They pull media inserts from games. They contact and engage consumers with misinformation. The list goes on and on, but i'm already tired of trying to convince nim wits.
