Why dont we just forget that this game was a thing and maybe if this is really a thing in the future it will be a surprise for all of us!
This is one of those times I wish game production was more transparent. I don't mean that we should be privy to everything that happens while it's happening, but honest retrospection would be great.
I remember being on the official Haze forum back in the day, and as a Free Radical fan, telling people that someday we would learn what went so horribly wrong. It's too bad it took 4 years, and a full collapse, for that information to come out, but it was wildly interesting.
Hopefully, at some point, we're given some honest insight into the development of this game. I can only hope that a complete unraveling doesn't serve as the catalyst for it.

What's the difference between Bigfoot and a current, up to date version of The Last Guardian? Bigfoot's been spotted.
Seriously though, between this and Final Fantasy Versus 13, what the hell is going on with these PS3 exclusives that just seem to vanish? It's almost like they're waiting for this console generation to end or something.

Yeah.....never seeing the light of day. If it does it won't be what the original peeps wanted for the game. Just what a lil' bird tells me.
I bought a PS3 primarily for The Last Guardian. I won't regret my purchase if it falls apart but I'll be extremely sad.
@Goofier: But we've seen The Last Guardian several times. There's a screenshot at the top of this page even. Your joke needs work!

whoa whoa whoa. everybody simmer down na'. He's going to leave but we JUST saw a release about how SONY was shipping programming duties to Santa Monica and that Ueda is working as a contractor, just not a salary employee. Because those two details would be the most boring PR workaround ever, let's just assume that they're telling the truth. who's with me here!? stay positive!
Get your crack team of reporters in there!! There's a market for a harder brand of video game reporting you know, but nobody capitalizes on it. Jim's pretty hard, but he's too... you know, rotund, to get in developers' faces. We need to get him a crack team of reporters to order around and pay him a handsome sum to do it.
every time news about TLG comes out it's always bad. @ snoogans775 well kaido & hamaya left ueda working as a "contractor" why are these guys leaving especially in the middle of development? now having to bring studio santa monica in to help. i really hope this game is great when it maybe comes out.
(looks over at ancient sword) (stabs stomach) AHHHH!!!! why do i have black blood! what are these things coming out of me! ARRRHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope he would continue finishing this just like Ueda is doing.
so no more Ape Escape T_____T
one of my favorite quirky games ever, Ape Escape 3 is the best, with tons of new missions, better controls, plus you get to play a MGS3 style Ape game.
how freaking awesome is that???

I get the impression that when ICO and SoTC were made, things were more relaxed and the developers were able to do what they wanted. Perhaps moreso because those games were more "sleeper hits" that people didn't expect to be amazing or that most people didn't care about anyway.
The popularity of Shadow of the Colossus probably projected the developers into the limelight, raising expectations and grabbing the attention of producers and other corporate bigwigs who want to use the ICO team to make big bucks. I'd imagine it's the terrible influence of those greedy pigs that pushed the game to its current state. I know I'd definitely leave if deep pocket dumbasses muscled in on my work and turned it into something irreversibly crappy.
Sad to say that if and when this game ever comes out, it will probably be beyond awful and nothing like what we've seen. Once again - as with many games nowadays - I will forever be left wondering what things would have been like if the original team had stayed intact.

Shenazin, if you're calling TLG / ICO / SotC fans hipsters, then you're a douche. They're two of the best games of the last generation, and did more to elevate the medium than just about any other offering from any other studio on any other platform. If you can't see why continued problems with the development of TLG is a bad, bad thing, the go sell all of your videogame-related shit and maybe someone who actually deserves it will get what it's offering them.
This and MGS4 were the reasons I bought a PS3. If I don't get this game, I'm going to be one really angry man. And I sure won't be the only one.

Shouldn't you be doing your homework? You wouldn't want to fail Ms. Martin's math class, now would you?

It has nothing to do with hipsters. A hipster is someone who just follows trends, regardless of their quality. We follow this game because the last ones were great. We talk about this game because the last two were better than... well, most every other game. We want this one. If there is any chance that it can still come out with a similar quality to the last two, then we'll pay attention to that chance.

I bought a PS3 because of this game. I'm NEVER again buying a system for a game that hasn't launched yet.
Same shit happened to me with Gamecube and Twilight Princess. I bought GCN a couple months before it launched and it got pushed back and back and back until it was on the Wii.
Never. Again.
I'm starting to get the feeling that this game is one huge clusterfuck and it's never going to launch.

@ragnar Never buy a console for a game that doesn't have a confirmed release date (or better yet, that hasn't been released). Friend of mine bought a PS3 at launch for the sole purpose of getting Kingdom Hearts 3.
That having been said, this makes me sad. I don't have a PS3, but I absolutely loved ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. Here's hoping the game eventually makes it out.

Another nail in the coffin of this game. And didn't news break recently about the copyright on the title being allowed to elapse?
I'm considering it dead at this point. I hope I'm wrong...but I'm not wrong. It's over.

soo a producer leaves...? so what, no loss. its not like the actual programing team has left. i bet the game is coming closer to being finished so why have people you dont need sitting around doing nothing for the project.
And the bad news just keeps on coming for this game. Since I'm giving up on waiting for this game to come out, I'm anxiously awaiting finding out just what the fuck happened to the development of this game. Maybe in a few years Ueda will spill the beans in a scathing expose.
Good thing I'm also a movie fanatic who loves blu-ray, otherwise my PS3 would never get used
