It wouldn't be a major videogame industry event without a Sony executive making an offhand remark about The Last Guardian. This time, vice president of Sony Worldwide Studios Europe Michael Denny was on hand to make sure that we know the title is still very much a part of the Japanese giant's long term strategy.
"There are no new announcements. It’s still in development," the big-wig stated. "It’s something we’re very, very excited for, and I understand why people want to ask all the time, because it’s an exciting project from an exciting team.” We could be wrong, but we get the feeling that Michael Denny might be excited about this game.
When affable executive Shuhei Yoshida was asked wether we might see the hotly anticipated title at the Tokyo Game Show next month, his response was an emphatic no. He was also predictably reticent to give out any more details about the game's release schedule. "I cannot confirm any timing because we are waiting for it be in a state where we are happy that this is the game," Yoshida said. "We have a certain time frame in our mind and the team is making great progress, but still not to the point that we can say that.”
Are you still excited for The Last Guardian, or has the waiting game completely destroyed your excitement? Let us know in the comments section below.

I'm getting really fed up hearing a lots of nothing about this game every few months.
Let's all make a pact to forget it until something meaningful comes along like a new trailer or something eh?
When netherrealm freezes over.
A tradition of vapourware...
"It exists because we say so, we just won't show even a single screenshot".
Sometimes I think even Shenmue 3 and Half Life 3 have a bigger chance than this one.
Why do I have this odd feeling that this is going to be announced at TGS. :X

on a serious note, I'm quite sure this will be announced next years E3.
Remaster Shadow of the Colossus. Many people who missed out on that game would love to have a chance to play it.
At this rate it should be a freebie to PS Plus users because I think they've burned all the good will at least a year ago on this one due to delays and saying so little about something not so little once to many.
The game is dead. Sony will never get the sales to recoup the cost and it's just a bit embarrassing for them now.
It's annoying to think that if Team Ico had been slightly less ambitious we might have seen two games from them in the time this one has taken. But hey, be positive. Ocarina of Time had a similarly prolonged development cycle and it's roundly acclaimed as the best game ever.
Hope i'm still alive when this gets re-announced
Wow. I hate how it feels with FFXV, but this is just as bad.
"We have some news...and that is to tell you...there is no new news. But...look on the bright side...we promise we're still making it?"
I actually pr-orded this game even dough i have no idea what it's a bout. ^^,
This game will seriously appeal to Japanese gamers and where is the PlayStation 4 struggling to sell at this moment in time......it's gotta show up at TGS 2014 surely?! I've been saying this each year for the past six years though.
Don't worry we still have Rime !
The last guardian will be announced at tgs and then along with that the team ico collection The collection will include Ico, Shadow of the Collusus and The Last guardian with all remastered graphics. Along with that if you preorder you get exclusive artwork and interviews into the development process of these masterpiece of games.
@RawWilson1 Shadow of the Colossus (along with Ico) was already remastered for the PS3. Anybody who has not played it yet was clearly not that interested.
Why anyone is still excited for this game at this point......blows my mind.
I can't wait until the next time they show it, and it's cell shaded like Windwaker
So basically what he saying is, right now the game sucks. Working on making it an actual fun game is what's taking so long.
This kind of stuff happens. Developers make a game and, well, it just sucks. Then they have to spend years working on it and tweaking it trying to make it a fun game that people actually want to play
Hahaha!!!
@RawShark Ocarina Of Time was delayed by six months because of the failure of the 64DD (and having to change it to a cartridge) and then another six months because Miyamoto wanted to add more into it as the cartridge had much more space than they realised when the game was finished. The Last Guardian has been delayed for years because it is a mess and doesn't work properly while having all sorts of behind the scenes problems. Couldn't be more different.
