IGN Rumour: The Last Guardian cancelled (debunked). Won't be at E3?
- Thread starter DriedMangoes
- Start date
This game has lost its power to generate hype at this point. Too bad too. It was probably one the most intriguing games I've seen in some time and the developers are some of the best in the business.
I'd say you're wrong. The IGN rumour generated 3,000 replies in 2 hours at 1 AM EST on the Neogaf thread and "The Last Guardian" was also trending worldwide on twitter at 2 AM EST last night.
Speak for yourself. If this game is officially announced at E3 the hype will be through the roof.

2014 sure has been the exact opposite of 2013.
In 2013, everyone was criticizing MS and expecting them to react asap and answer every question and claim. In 2014, you got all kinds of claims and controversy with some Sony stuff and Sony people have had to get on the tweet horn and react. Good entertainment though.

Interestingly, if I read it correctly, some IGN guy posted an article about TLG being cancelled due to a tweet by Sony Russia. And somehow IGN is to blame? All IGN did was skim some twitter accounts and took a news bite from an official account..... (that Sony Russia twitter account is legit right?).
So if anything, Sony can clear things up and IGN can then re-clarify the story, but blame the Sony Russia guy, not the IGN editor.
IGN has nothing to apologize about.
No different than if Microsoft Europe said Crackdown 3 is cancelled. If news sites saw it and posted it on their sties, nothing wrong with that. That's the point of twitter. Endless people gabbing in hopes everyone from 2 year olds to 102 year olds see it. If CD 3 isn't cancelled, then blame the guy in charge MS Europe's twitter for posting fake news.

I heard that IGN Russia cited an unnamed/anonymous source, supposedly within Sony but who knows. They've been backpeddling and apologizing since.
If you can't trust IGN Russia, who can you trust...
Ahhhh..... if that's the case, then IGN should look into sources more. No matter how cruddy the internet is with wild rumours everywhere, IGN (along with other large sites) should dig into sources. I don't expect many anonymous insiders to have credibility, so I expect them to have no source material, but IGN Russia should.
IGN lol. They're usually pretty good as a news source, but when they screw up, they screw up big time.
They can't cancel The Last Guardian at this point. I mean really? They'd get so much flack for it.
That's true but the game has been in development for 6 years now? I don't know how they could mess that up.
Then it's I said, The Last Guardian is dead no matter what some tweeter says. The Last Guardian is dead until it is either released or at the bare minimum when Sony decides to finally stop hiding the game from us.Nope. Apparently in full development, the new CEO of SCEA said so.
