Last Guardian director says to 'keep an eye out' for release details
The Last Guardian creative director Fumito Ueda wrote a note on his personal website stressing that the game is still in active development, and urging fans to "keep an eye out" for an official announcement from Sony.
Word on The Last Guardian has been awfully quiet lately, as the latest we've heard has been about technical difficulties way back in June. We may be close to more information, though, as the game's creative director has told eager fans to "keep an eye out" for official release details.
In a note on his website (via Polygon) creative director Fumito Ueda stressed that the decision of when and how to share more info isn't his to make.
"While it's been a long time coming, The Last Guardian remains under my creative supervision and is still in development by an incredibly talented team," he said. "I should also mention that details regarding The Last Guardian's release is [sic] solely decided by Sony Computer Entertainment, not myself. Please keep an eye out for their official announcement."
That's far from a promise, but it implies that Sony has some sort of announcement plan. One possible venue for an announcement is next week's PlayStation Future event, where the company is expected to debut its next console. If not there, we may be waiting until E3 to see the long-awaited game get its due.

You think they'll launch on PS4?
-
PS4 launch title. Too convenient with the press conf. being only a week away and all of a sudden, this.
-
I suppose but that seems like a lot of money lost because ps4's install base will be really small. Unless this game is still years away
-
-
I'm on that list. I will do a lot to get my hands on The Last Guardian.

THE LAST GUARDIAN, VITA EXCLUSIVE!

^^^ nuke this

It was never going to be a huge sales driver, it was always a vanity project for sony that exhibited what they're designers were capable of.
May as well push that to the PS4 where its useful.-
IIRC, the same thing happened with ICO. It was a PSX game at one point and then got moved to the PS2.
-
ICO and SotC are iconic, legendary games. Ueda's next gen effort is absolutely going to drive some sales.

Critical acclaim means nothing. Psychonauts and Beyond Good & Evil would like to have a word with you.

How do you know you won't want a PS4 when it hasn't even been revealed yet? Seems a bit early to be deciding about the next gen.
All we have right now is some leaked specs and FWIW, those favor the PS4.

Their whole reason for the major delay was technical issues wasn't it? It went into ghost mode right when PS4 dev kits were being rumored to have been sent to first party Sony studios.
-
It was a mixture things, but technical issues had to be a play. The creative director wanted leave the project at one point but I think sony persuaded him to stay on board. Maybe persuaded him with some nice ps4 dev kits.

Exactly.

-
Haha, or it will be like SotC. Release it and it barely runs on the current hardware.
-
This is probably the real reason development was so delayed. They were probably going for PS3 and Sony probably shoved PS4 dev kits in their hands and had them make it better. They went almost radio silent on this a while ago, and then this pops up a week before Sony's major announcement.
