Crazy to think that the last time this game was shown, I hadn't even gone to college yet. What the hell could it even be at this point?

The Last Guardian is the long-delayed third game from Sony's Team Ico. Originally revealed in trailer form at E3 2009, the game was met with substantial delays but was reintroduced at E3 2015.

2009.
Wow. Then why are so many people expecting to be shown off this year? Clearly Sony has no interest in showing it if it's been so many years. They didn't show it in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 so I really do wonder what makes people think this year will be any different.
Hope springs eternal. But in all honesty, this is the closest gaming has to a new Duke Nukem Forever at this point.
Hmm didn't notice it before but there's a tiny comment at the bottom page from Mr. Butts.
"We're hoping to resolve the discrepancy here, but have received no further word from Sony apart from Scott Rodhe's tweet. It's possible this may be a misunderstanding between our sources at Sony, as when Jack Tretton and Shuhei Yoshida disagreed about TLG being on hiatus."

Well technically it could be in development but never intended for release. Like The 1994 Fantastic Four film was completed with the intention of never being released (unknown to the actors and crew though).

Same deal with Half Life 3 really, minus the fact that The Last Guardian was actually revealed and confirmed to be in development . The teams in charge of the games haven't said anything about em, but all this speculation from people on the internet are building these games up to be something they could never live up to if they ever do release.

Hey, I would have believed that Final Fantasy Versus XIII was absolutely dead before last E3. Weirder stuff has happened.

Okay so I had to start watching that film and I must say it's fuckin better than those two films Fox released in the early 2000. Still a shit show but still better than those two films.

I love it. It's so ridiculously stupid but it's a blast to watch. It really feels like the old Fantastic Four comics only on a shoestring budget. It is amazing that they managed to make something with such little money or time. The score is also terrific. Apparently the two composers spent $6,000 of their own money on an orchestra. Too bad it'll never be released. Apparently all the prints were destroyed but the bootlegs had to come from somewhere. Hopefully someday it'll be released (assuming whoever kept a print stored it properly and would be willing to part with it)
Just interviewed Shawn Layden, new CEO of SCEA. He says The Last Guardian is in full development in Japan. Unequivocally. Full intvu tmrw.

@fluxwavez: Fuck yeah, I love me a good intvu, don't know if I can manage to wait until tmrw.
Bullshit. What does IGN Russia have to say about all this? Eh?
BY STEVE BUTTS
Last night, I made a call to post a story about the cancellation of The Last Guardian. The source for this information was, in my opinion as IGN’s Editor in Chief, credible enough to justify running the story. While there is still a discrepancy with what our source has said, Scott Rohde’s Twitter post makes it clear that our original source was in error. The business of handling news sources involves some assumption of risk and last night my evaluation of that risk was clearly in error.
"To IGN fans who have criticized the rest of the staff for this reporting, understand the decision to post this story was mine alone."

Dave Lang has weighed in on the matter:
I'm so glad that stream happened. It's just...it's beautiful.
SPIN UP THE DRINK MACHINE
That was never announced officially. Sony hasn't said anything official regarding the game in years other than, "No, seriously! We're still working on it even though we refuse to say anything specific about it!"
Waiting for this game is like waiting for Half-Life 3, It'll happen when it happens, until then we're not going to hear jack shit about it.

Exactly... IGN Russia.
Don't believe IGN's lies.
The Last Guardian IS cancelled. They just don't have the balls to make it public, because someone, somewhere always asks "What about last guardian?"
I agree, with their lack of showing that thing is canned. Sony is just being a coward and until further notice everyone should just accept Sony has cancelled it internally or "On hold" like they would like you to believe. Lets all accept facts, The Last Guardian is cancelled. *goes to cry in a corner*
I hope it is cancelled, they should make a shadow of the colossus 2
Yeah, at this point I just want to see another Team Ico game period. Preferably, one that will actually be released.

and neither will ever happen :(
It was my silly attempt at being funny. I'm sorry. I tried to express that everybody seems excited for it to potentially come to PS4; just like how we were originally excited for it to come to PS3 all those years ago.
Well at least Steve Butts apologized for the error ign made which basically means people can now hold it against him and ign on the internet forever.
FOREVER.
If you don't believe me go ask Patrick Klepek the rock god.

Oh my god....what if Half-Life 3 is The Last Guardian?
