They should have a limit, really they should of had the game released and been working on another title by now. I mean the game was revealed in 09, which means it should had came out that year or the next. I kind of thing the game was scraped and started over again, or is being put on the ps4 instead. There just better be a good reason for this.

to compare tiny team Ico to 200+ man teams like Naughty Dog ,Rockstar North or Polyphony is a laugh guys..

ND didn't start the gen that size, the increase has been so they can release more frequent games, but they will have launched at least 4 titles since Team Ico did anything and all the titles released have been critically and commerically succesful. They are just pointless if they take this long to make games. If they came up with a good idea that could make money, Sony might give them some more resources, but they just aren't doing anything productive

I heard the game was gonna be finished, until they ran into problems with the AI, they had to completly redo the entire game. The team morale is very low due to this disappointment and pressure from Sony. It was too ambitious, but it will be finished.

Its really ridicilous, its almost a decade their last game came out. Last Guardien needed to come out 2 years ago and they should've been working on a PS4 game by now.


I'm pretty sure that everything could be the reason to redo the complete game-but not the AI.

The AI has nothing to do with graphics,textures,gameplay mechanics-you can keep them and just improve the AI.

 

Getting the Ai system work is more complex and time consuming than doing graphics and textures.  They probably had problems with the animal's AI and his behaviour with the player, what they had in mind was too ambitious and required too much work I reckon.



I honestly don't care anymore about the game. Maybe if it haves a book I will give it a read.

I think it's the AI too. The AI proposed for the game is way more advanced than any AI in any videogame. Add into the fact that team ICO was never really technical wizards and you've got problems.
