Duke Nukem Forever - that took a long time. Got nicknames like 'Duke Nukem Whenever' or the like. In the end the game nearly was cancelled, the studio was going down.

And the game was forgettable.

But the producer is mia.

Though he worked on both previous Team ICO titles, Kaido was not believed to be affiliated with the studio's next game The Last Guardian, which has undergone a troubled development cycle.

Not TLG's producer.

I dont care if TLG turns out to be the best game ever, a 7 year at least production cycle is rediculous.

Theres no excuse for it and some people need to be fired. Still hope The Last Guardian comes out as Ico and SOTC are both brilliant but from a business point of view this is pathetic

Ah. Bittersweet then. This is old news then. What was he doing there in the mean time then. 2 games in para?

Good question, maybe he got bored waiting for something to do....

I didn't realize team ico was this big.

I get that. I just found Kasz' grammar rather hard to follow in his comment, as to who exactly felt what in his statement is unclear.

Needless to say that The Last Guardian will not be the same as to what was promised when Ueda-san was in charge.

I agree. That was the first thing that ran through my head as well. After playing Xenoblade, I hope Nintendo can publish more mature games for the Wii-U and this guy is the right person for the job. Great creative mind.
