Sony: We're Waiting to "Reintroduce" The Last Guardian

Sony offers up a brief comment on the status of the long-awaited game.

The Last Guardian isn't dead yet, as many have suspected in recent years, and Sony does have a reason for staying quiet about Fumito Ueda's latest project.

In an interview with Game Informer, Sony worldwide studios president Shuhei Yoshida said, "The team is still there in SCE Japan Studio, Ueda-san is still there, but we are still waiting for the time to reintroduce it."

The Last Guardian has been seen very little in recent years, its name only popping up when people begin to believe it has been canceled, only for Sony to claim that isn't the case.

Ueda, who also served as director on Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, left Sony in 2011 but agreed to stay on in order to see the game through to completion. It was said the game was making progress last year, more reassurances came earlier this year, and then we received word it had been put on hiatus in June. That changed last month, when it was said that Japan Studio is actively working on it, but that Puppeteer and Knack took precedence.

If Sony is indeed waiting to reintroduce the game, that could mean it will be released on PlayStation 4, rather than PlayStation 3, a possibility that has made the rounds in the past.

Maybe by the end of Sony's live streaming TGS events today and tomorrow (10am Tokyo), we'll all get spoiled. Wait, I spelled 'soiled' wrong. We'll all pee ourselves. Yeah.



Well I'm going to download Ico to see what's the big deal about this The Last Guardian game.

Even if you're not into it (which I wasn't at launch and still am not), Shadow of the Colossus is definitely the one to check out.



Triple thread much?

That might not be the best way to approach Ico.  It was revolutionary and influential but it might not necessarily have aged well.

It blew me away when I first played it, yes, but that was before it became an internet darling.  I had no idea what to expect.  A lot of people play it now while judging it against all the games that came after, without understanding that it was totally unique for its time.

In my opinion, it's one of the most important games ever created, but I will admit its not for everyone.  It grabbed me by the heart but some people it doesn't touch at all.

My only complaint about Ico is having to drag Yorda around all the time or having to run back to get her and then drag her. Just have her follow!!! Besides that, I love it, even though I got stuck on a section of it and haven't finished..

I really want to play Shadow of the Colossus, though. That's the real reason I got the game (Ico Collection), but I want to finish Ico first.



So is this game still coming out for the PS3 or what?



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

 

Even though TLG may be more similar to Ico than SotC, I'm disappointed about not seeing it on PS3. I want all 400 women and men at Japan Studio to focus on TLG for PS4 as soon as they finish Rain (must be finished), Knack, Soul Sacrifice: Delta, Gravity Rush 2 and Freedom Wars. xD
