Sony isn't 100% sure The Last Guardian will release next year

Development of The Last Guardian on PS4 has been going well, says Sony, but isn't yet 100 per cent confident the heavily delayed game will launch in 2016.

"The move from PS3 to PS4 was difficult, Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studios boss told Engadget.

He added: "The old engineering effort had to go back to the drawing board and be remade for PS4. And that took a long time. But since last year, the development has been going very well. So we have a good amount of confidence in terms of this window for next year."

The game segment shown at E3 is actually playable, only it won't be like this when you get your hands on the final version.

"So the video we showed [on Monday] is totally playable," confirmed Yoshida. "It's a small section of a larger level. And we chose to do video because the press conference is really tightly scheduled and because the nature of the game is an adventure game. So the AI involved, the bird, might not do what we want it to do. So in order to make that tight press conference schedule work, we just recorded video. But the game runs like that. Performance-wise it's going very well."

Way to spin his words



Hmm, I can understand not getting the game this year, but the fact that they're not even sure about next year surprises me a little.

With the game kinda being far in the background for the longest time, and finally being shown at E3, I would've assumed that the game has had a lot of developement, but I guess they're far from done.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

That is a terrible title. Did you even bother reading the article OP?

Awful, awful title.

I'm a bit worried about the line about AI I bolded. If they weren't sure on the AI behavior in such a short segment, and thats the reason they got a trailer not a live persentation... Its all just very strange...

Correct me if I'm wrng but "a good amount of confidence" =/= "We will definitely release 2016!"
So yeah, definitely lower than 100%.

Ps5 confirmed! But yea, it sounds like it will release next year than not honestly but I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed
