I'm not surprised people are leaving if I was Sony I would have cancelled TLG and fired them all for taking so long


After the amount of money that's likely gone into this it would be crazy not to at least try to get back some of the cash. It's not a big team but the time alone speaks for itself.

Disbanding the team is something I think will happen though. SONY's shut down team LiverPool for not being productive enough and now supposedly 2 thirds of the guys on that team now work for other SONY studios. The rest are laid off... no way is Team ICO getting away with their performance. 

From what I understand though, Santa Monica Studio has been brought in to help out the game. This was confirmed in February so i'm thinking we should hear about this game in the coming months.. http://www.gamespot.com/news/god-of-war-dev-helping-with-last-guardian-report-6350836

:( Hopefully they don't stop making these great games. He is the producer so this isn't very good news.


what an ironic statement for a studio that did not release a game for 7 years now.

 

So? That still doesn't take away from the fact that ICO and SotC are great games.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Too bad.



This is starting to look more like the lost guardian.

The didn't fall asleep for 7 years. Some of that time went to actually developing the Last Guardian. Technically they didn't stop making anything.

I heard they were still working on a game called Last Guardian so no.

It won't be cancelled. They showed the game in 2009 because it was not far from release, then probably they stumbled upon a lot of problems (by then)far in the development wich caused them to start from scratch.

I would hope that Nintendo would pick him up and work with him as they did with Masahiro Sakurai

Ouch. I'm no Nintendo fan, but that is a harsh thing to wish on them. Do you hope they hand the company over to Ken Kutaragi, too?

Maybe I'm missing something ... I don't see how developing high profile games with a talented producer who is disconnected from the company is like handing the company over to Ken Kutaragi.
