It's clear that the game we saw a few seconds of gameplay back in 2009 and 2011 does not exists anymore in the form it was presented that time.

That game WAS canceled at some point in those 5 years but who knows if Sony rebooted the development with a different team.

The way internet/Neogaf reacted to IGN article is starteling.

Internet peplz upset, IGN apologizes. Something tells me they would never apologize for an error related to Nintendo because the uproar wouldn't be the same. Some camps are, really, more vocal. And I'm not talking about Sony fans because there are nice ones, but there is a group of vocal cyber citizens who stand for Sony and can cause a news source as big as IGN to apologize.

It's weird.

So IGN shouldn't have apologized?

It was Sony themselves and ND developer that called them out. Not just the fans.

This wasn't just some minor mishap. It was flatout trolling. Their timing was horrible, and they said it was "official" as if confirmed by Sony. We are talking about the most anticipated game ever by Sony fans, 2 days before the supposed reveal.

IGNs own reputation was on the line here. You simply don't drop major bombs like that and expect to get away with it.

To put the gravity of their mistake in persepective, it'd be like IGN claiming to have official confirmation from Nintendo that they're going third party, when they really have none.

don't overstate your case

Well you can't deny you like Butts!

Those are Steve Butts. Not really what I'm after.

"Full development" is an interesting phrase to use, given the structure of Japan Studio. They use the approach where teams start off small, then expand as a project gets closer to completion. Hopefully, that means it's in or close to the home stretch.

Looking forward to the interview.

Full development means Ueda and the Janitor are playing shogi all day long.

Now the question is when did TLG go into full development? Because if the game went into full development for quite a while, then we may expect TLG to come out next year. If not, well....
