Sony’s E3 press conference was a little bit flat this year.
They showed a few great looking things but there was more that they didn’t show. Among the most obviously conspicuous by its absence was The Last Guardian. All the rumours and snippets of information we’ve heard are not promising for this much anticipated title. Team ICO has lost some key staff and there are now several studios assisting in keeping The Last Guardian on track.
So when Sony failed to mention it in Los Angeles, we all sucked in our breath and prepared ourselves for the disappointment of one of our most anticipated games in years disappearing into development oblivion.
Speaking to Giant Bomb’s Patrick Klepek, head of PlayStation worldwide development, Shuhei Yushida was asked about the game’s progress. “We have the team working hard, and still it’s not the right time to give people an update,” he said.
So, it’s coming but it still isn’t ready to show or even talk about. Not exactly filling us with confidence but I’ve now decided to cling to the unfounded hope that The Last Guardian is simply delayed while they shuffle it into a launch release for the PS4/Orbis next year.

At least by showing it early they can judge the consumer bases reaction. It might be the positive response it had in its early form that is the only thing which has kept it in development. If it hadn’t been shown it might have be put to bed quietly behind close doors some time ago.

It would be a great launch title for the PS4, if it turns out as good as we want it too. But I really want to see a Team ICO game on the PS3.

This i can actually see hapening, did i read somewhere that they where not happy with it visually (or did i imagine that).
