Even with the recent and welcome news regarding Team ICO's previous works, it does little to sate the hunger that pretty much everyone has for the respected developer's next game. The long-delayed The Last Guardian will unfortunately not be making an appearance at this year's Tokyo Game Show. Sony stated on the PlayStation Blog:
The Last Guardian is not on the schedule for this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Ueda-san and the rest of the development team are hard at work to bring his lofty vision to life and deliver the very best gaming experience possible.
Despite the excitement levels for this game reaching a fever pitch over a year ago, Team ICO's continued strive for perfection with The Last Guardian is beginning to invoke more and more fatigue amongst people eagerly waiting to get their hands on it. It's currently scheduled for release in 2012, but beyond a couple of trailers seen quite some time ago, lead designer Fumito Ueda and Team ICO are not changing their promotional tactics anytime soon.

And then hang myself.
I'm just wondering though. Will Ueda's next game be on the PS4 then? At this rate it seems so.
"we've been guarding this last game pretty closely..."
Joking aside, this kind of sucks, and in my experience stuff like this is never a good sign.
wtf?!?!?!?!?!?!
Allowing a studio - even one with 2 highly-respected titles under its belt - to drag this on into development hell is a very bad idea. This game isn't going to appeal to the masses to begin with (not sayin that's a bad thing, btw). The people who are going to purchase it have already made that decision, so every month that this drags on is a month of expenses for what I'm guessing (IMHO) is a pretty much fixed ROI.
