This game's development process reminds me somewhat of Shenmue III: The developers still want the game to be finished and released, but the powers that be have essentially made up their minds on the matter.


Yeah just like Gran Turismo 5... Oh wait, GT sold well compared to Ico & SotC... Shit you're right. It's probably cancelled after all. :singletearforgameIwantedtoplay:

Yeah, I can't really think of a big budget title that Sony hasn't brought to launch, but considering Ueda's departure from Sony, and that it seems it wasn't amicable, I just don't see this one happening.

At least Ico and such aren't really part of such a heavily intertwined franchise. Technically, Ueda could continue his vision at another company regardless of what happens. Unlike Murayama and Gensou Suikoden.

I'm hoping that Sony is going to change the name instead of canceling the game. I mean they might be switching the title since they have the last of us also coming out and don't want to confuse people.

I'm hoping they don't pull a mega man legends 3.

"Because the game did not have a specific release date, GameStop made the decision to remove the game from our system."

Since when has GameStop required a specific release date to accept pre-orders for something?

There goes the neighbourhood.


Hmmmmmmm. Probably an interesting story as to what's going on inside that studio with all this drama. Too bad we'll never know.
Hopefully the game can be made to its creator's vision...

Definitely not a Team Ico game any more with the key members gone from the project. Shame, nobody makes games like Team Ico. NOBODY

It's like asking new SEGA to make games like old SEGA. Ain't gonna happen...
