Sometimes you wake up to news so disappointing you just want to kick a squirrel.
Today is such a day, with the confirmation that The Last Guardian and the HD re-release of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus have been pushed back, possibly until 2012.
“SCEE can confirm that we are officially delaying the release of ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection and The Last Guardian from their respective launch timeframes of Spring 2011 and Holiday/Winter 2011,” says the EU Blog. “We will provide more information regarding release timing at a later date.”
The re-releases were due to land sometime in spring, with The Last Guardian pencilled in for “holiday 2011”.
“I sincerely apologize to all the customers who have been waiting for The Last Guardian for so long, but I beg for your patience,” said Fumito Ueda. “I will also announce the new release timing at a later time.”
The Last Guardian’s delay makes sense in all honesty as it would be competing with titles such as Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, and that’s a lot of quality titles shoved into the back end of this year.

2012!? I don’t mind a delay here and there but that’s quite a while. Oh well, It’s not like there’s nothing else to play.

who cares, there’s plenty of PS3 games and HD rereleases to get through before the ICO/SOTC comes out….
I recently picked up Tomb Raider HD Trilogy & Prince Of Persia HD Trilogy for less than £25, good value and it’ll last a while too!

I just hope that all these dont end up in Sony thinking it is safe with agent and last guardian while Microsoft ready a new console in the meantime and get an early blow again.
