And it got cancelled, for a reason


That reason not being that Sony is being cheap and wants to save some money? If the project wasn't coming along at all it very likely would have been dropped much sooner, the fact that so much time was spent on it should say it had potential but Sony choose to throw it to the side wasting all of their work for 4 years. It's a damn shame. This could have been a hit.

How is Sony being cheap if they gave the game 4 years before finally cancelling it? The fact that Sony gave it 4 years might indicate that the game had potential, but the fact that they cancelled it after 4 years and however many million dollar also shows that something was seriously wrong with it, these things don't happen for no reason.

Probably because Sony isn't in the best financial situation and continues to spend money on The Last Guardian which has been in development hell for YEARS but somehow another promising project gets the boot. This coming from someone who loves Team Ico, considers Shadow of The Colossus one of the very greatest games of all time and was looking forward to The Last Guardian until I realized it probably won't ever get released.  Not to mention another thing which I haven't seen anyone mention, is the fact that God of War Ascension underperformed considerabily compared to God of War 3 so both Sony and the Santa Monica took a hit as a result that may have helped lead to a deathblow for this project, though I REALLY hope this isn't the case.

Isn't Sony Santa Monica one of their best developers?  Maybe they wanted to free them up to make a different game.
