Since we've been waiting for the The Last Guardian to rise from its supposed grave for around half a decade, it's safe to assume that the game has had a troubled development cycle. When the title was finally revived at Sony's E3 2015 press conference last month, you could almost hear the sigh of relief from PlayStation enthusiasts around the globe, but according to Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, we may not have had such a joyful reunion.
Speaking in the latest issue of EDGE magazine, the likeable bigwig states that the game would "probably" have been cancelled, had it not been for the fans. "If everyone stopped asking about it, probably we would have [cancelled the game]," Yoshida said. "Having so many people asking us about the game was great encouragement for us to continue the development," he added.
As with everything in this industry, things could have turned out differently - but are you happy that the title's finally back on track? Imagine a bleak, almost post-apocalyptic Last Guardian-less future in the comments section below.

So... Basically gravity daze/rush 2 is canceled then
Where's the medieval reboot! Need me another trip with sir Daniel.
One thing I wonder is, how to people ask for these things? I mean like, do they looks the forums/comments of sites like this, e-mails people send them, twitter demands? How to they determine people ask for this?
So, we will get new AAA games for the Vita and normal priced memory cards for the Vita? Or they only listen to PS4 owners?
I'm just glad it's coming out so people of forums can stop complaining about it. I don't have the slightest interest in the game and something sadistic In me hope it turns out to be a bust after waiting freakin 8-10 Years for a game with no release date yet.
I'm still convinced this game won't come out until I actually see it on a store shelf.
Well at least Sony gives fans what they ask for instead of playing with Muppets like some video game companies.
I'm defiantly not get this game. An if it ends up being good il borrow it 😁
@Jaz007 most companies now oddly hire people for doing online things like maintaining their websites and doing things like checking websites to see the hype around things they announced and released. One of my friends use to work at Microsoft doing that, it's weird but probably a pretty cool job
Glad Sony listened to their fans, I'm hoping this game is awesome!
I'm still doubtful the game will come out
@DualWielding
Yup, this, Shenmue 3 and FF VII Remake, for all the craziness they caused, I won't believe a single one is real until they can be bought and played.
Oh to see the brave keyboard warriors who can't even spell their insults they splash across the internet chortle chortle....
We have waited a long time for the spiritual successor to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus and from what we have seen in the e3 demo we are finally going to get it....so hate away internet prepubescents....
