Guys, whatever happened to The Last Guardian from Team Ico?? Ive been a big fan of Ico and Shadow of the colossus, both of them unmatched in artistic mastery and the soundtracks are a delight. So when i saw the trailer to The Last Gaurdian in E3 2009, i was blown away and ever so excited. Sadly, there have been no developments on the same and i believe there were no updates in E3 2011 as well.

Does anyone have any updates??

The Last Guardian was originally given a late 2011 release date internationally at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, but was pushed back to 2012 on April 20, 2011.[4] Further complications, including Ueda's departure as a full-time employee of Sony though remaining as a consultant on the project, have left the release date in question.

As of February 2012, Shuhei Yoshida, president of SCE Worldwide Studios, stated that development of the game was continuing albeit with "slow progress", and Ueda continues to work daily on the project.[20] Yoshida also stated that Sony has brought in technical support help from their Santa Monica studios and other worldwide studios to assist in completing the game; as such, the state of the game was "not to the point that we can talk about the timing of launch".[21]

hmm i did google earlier, but did not find anyting relevant. If the development is in such shambles then its really bad news. Had very high hopes what with the bond between Wander and Agro in SOTC. Lets see where this goes then.

Better Nate than lever!

Mighty fine necro thread. And apparently it was announced in 2009.

It looks like a perfect combination of Ico and SotC (in regards to crawling around on the bird-dog-cat). I can't wait.
