I hope that that BBC journalist now confirms or denies that this was the secret game he saw eitherwise people will be kept guessing.
 
What's funny is that it actually looks a lot better than what was shown a year ago. I'm assuming that most of you have seen the leaked video from a couple weeks ago. It's basically the same trailer, but the one at E3 had a lot more polish on it.
 
Wow i am GLAD i have a PS3! This game looks incredible, and i love Ico and still have it, maybe time to replay it!!

Heavy Rain also intrigued me, but i can't envision what the game will be about, it looked more like a movie trailer than a game trailer.
 
I cannot wait to play this game, ICO remains my favourite game of all time so this should be really special.
 
Just to give this thread a major bump, I just found my copy of Ico while cleaning up and now I'm really upset I left my PS2 at my other home.

According to an interview on ign, the game has 30(!) people working on it, now that's amazing considering how development costs (and staff) has gone through the roof on the next gen consoles.

I think, if it's anything like Ico and SotC, we'll be in for a proper dose of yaw dropping visuals, audio and gameplay!

Apparently it's due "holiday 2011" so next Christmas...quite a while really but GT5 should keep us pretty busy until then.
 
Have some more screen shots, looks pretty stunning. Fingers crossed it still gets released this year.

The Last Guardian Delayed

SCEE has announced that one of the most keenly anticipated games of the year, Team Ico’s The Last Guardian, as well as the Ico And Shadow Of The Colossus Collection, have been delayed.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog the firm declined to give revised dates for the games, with European product manager Phil Lynch saying: “We will provide more information regarding release timing at a later date.”

However, the firm does pass along a brief statement from director Fumito Ueda, who said: “I announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show that the release timing of The Last Guardian, which is currently being developed, would be holiday 2011.

“However, to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users and to fulfill Firstparty Studio’s obligations, I decided to postpone its release timing.

“I sincerely apologise to all the customers who have been waiting for The Last Guardian for so long, but I beg for your patience. I will also announce the new release timing at a later time.

The news is a blow for all of those who were eagerly awaiting The Last Guardian, Ueda’s first project on the current generation of consoles and his first since 2005’s Shadow Of The Colossus. In our recent preview of the game, we said it was shaping up to be a “sublime, unique adventure.”
 
The Last Guardian experiencing technical difficulties.

Sony Worldwide president Shuhei Yoshida told Eurogamer that the game was absent from Sony's E3 presentation because the Tokyo team was working hard addressing technical issues.

"The team is back in Tokyo working hard, and there are some technical difficulties that the team is focused on right now. That's why we don't have an update," Yoshida explained.

The Sony boss denied reports that the game would launch on the PS4, though he was reluctant to say whether or not it would ever see the light of day at all.

"When we have confidence in saying that, we will talk about it. But today, we are working through some engineering effort."

I reckon they should just leave that project behind and start a brand new project out of scratch if they ran out of ideas for their current project.
 
That's such a shame, both Eco and SOTC were stunning games.

Maybe I should get the HD PS3 versions after all, but then again, I'm quite happy with the looks of my PS2 versions after all.

Such a shame :/
 
Its starting to seem like this game is vapourware, I've heard that said a few times on various gaming sites. Its possibly going to go the way of Eight Days and Getaway, one trailer, a few screens and gone.

Rockstar's Agent might also be bull.
 
Sony abandons U.S. 'The Last Guardian' trademark

Possible name change....development dead.....something else.....I don't know. If only Sony/Team ICO would release some details/info on the games current progress/status. My reserve is sitting on years haha.
 
I don't believe Sony abandoned The Last Guardian. The other day Square Enix "abandoned" FF versus 13. It's just a rumor. Maybe Sony want make the game for PS4.
 
Sony Confirm The Last Guardian Is Still In Development

Venturebeat
PlayStation fans around the country were panicking earlier today when, according to gaming-news site Gematsu, Sony abandoned its U.S. trademark for The Last Guardian, a highly anticipated PlayStation 3 adventure-platformer originally announced in 2009.

The U.S. patent office considers a trademark abandoned when a company does not use it after a certain period of time. Sony originally filed for its trademark on June 2, 2009.

GamesBeat reached out to Sony for comment, specifically to see if The Last Guardian was still in development. Sony Computer Entertainment America’s director of product publicity Ron Eagle responded, “We can confirm that The Last Guardian is still in development, and Sony will be publishing the title.”

In other words, the game is still coming, but it might in for a name change.
 
I read above and that's somewhat hope inducing but otherwise: worst news since Relic gave up on Company of Heroes Online. :(
