Forums - Sony - Last Guardian: Yoshida declines to commit to 2013 release

It's pretty clear at this point, that both Final Fantasy Versus XIII and the Last Guardian, will be seeing a PS4 launch window release date. They both have been too long in production to not be out yet. Either they would be cancelled or pushed to the PS4, given the close time frame to PS4's imminent release next year. If they were cancelled, they would say so, but what they wouldn't say, is "we're holding it for a PS4 launch window release date to help bolster the system sales." That's my guess anyway, and the most educated hypothesis one could make at this point.

I don't know about Versus XIII, but given that they are now working on the engine (!) I wouldn't rule out that possibility.



Please excuse my bad English.

Damn, this game will be lucky to release.


This is sounding more and more like ICO when it was a PS1 title. It was in develop hell till the till re engineered it for PS2. They are making a PS4 engine

I think what's important to remember is that ICO was originally slated to be a PSone game, but was delayed and released onto Sony's next-gen console.  It's the most fair and reasonable assumption that the exact same thing has happened here.  I would be very surprised to eventually hear anything to the contrary.

i agree -- the ps4 should have enough of a power increase to squash whatever technical issues they are facing.  it's pointless to make this a ps3 title anymore, just get this out early in the ps4 lifecycle (jan-march 2014 assuming a holiday 2013 launch) and call it a day. 

or just can the game.  SotC came out in 2005 which is 7 years ago....as much as i like ICO and SotC this whole team needs to be dismantled.  this lack of productivity is just unacceptable.

Nah. Team ICO has won more gaming and non gaming awards than any other SONY studio. They are also the most ambitious that studio SONY owns. There is no problem with Team ICO. Whats unacceptable? You..We have only seen one piece media from this ever. it reannouced as a brand new game very. If you had never seen that trailer this wouldn't even matter

The to sum my above post up. Team ICO/SONY has never promised anything to anybody. They pretty much just said "here's what we are working on, now let us finish"

Yeah apparently they were trying to max out the PS3, since the begin of this gen.

I gave up waiting in 2011 so no big deal to me if it releases in 2014 or 2015.

I almost feel like I can predict which games will be listed for Sony's killer lineup 2015.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
