The Last Guardian

When The Last Guardian was first announced back in the ’60s (hyperbole!), a lot of people got really excited about it. After all, Team Ico delivered two great projects previously, so this third endeavor was definitely worth getting totally stoked over. Of course, we haven’t really known what the status of the game is. Until now, that is. Well, kind of.

Speaking to Kotaku, Sony Japan Studio boss Allan Becker explained the current situation as far as The Last Guardian is concerned. The good news is that the game seems to still be in the works, which means it’s not necessarily a scrapped project or mythical fantasy. The bad news is that after Becker incorporated some new ideas and changes, Director Fumito Ueda wasn’t exactly thrilled, and we now have a game that’s undergoing some alterations with still no clear info on the whole thing.

“We’re real-time in that process,” explained Becker ever so vaguely. “And we don’t necessarily agree with each other — Fumito Ueda and I — about process. In some sense, I sort of … implemented change, which, I think, is causing some concern and consternation. But, once again, I think the benefit will come through. We’re still going through that phase of adjustment and finding the right balance and groove.”

Honestly, I have no idea what any of that means. But hey, some news is good news in the case of The Last Guardian, I guess. Maybe we’ll see it on the PlayStation 4. Who knows?
