As probably most of the internet already knows, between today and yesterday a few media outlets reported the alleged cancellation of Tean ICO’s The Last Guardian, citing internal Sony source as the origin of the rumor, and even going as far as mentioning that it was “officially” canceled.
Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann has been under fire by this kind of internal sources in the past, and his reaction was understandably not too chartiable.
Speaking on what’s coming next for Naughty Dog, which could be either their new IP or The Last Of Us Part III, Druckmann gave what he seems to feel are realities of the project he’s talking about. That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”

"I’ve really surrendered to knowing it’s going to be really hard, knowing it’s going to stress members of the team out"
As if crunch wasn't stressing them enough
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG members and strike while the time is right, before its too late?! Imagine DEV's on strike at a time like this, there's already a game drought.
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
'The Last of Us' co-creator Neil Druckmann shares his experience revisiting the 'Part II' story with the upcoming remaster and how fans responded to the original's twists.
knowing who he is, he probably got a sneak peak at TLGs development. So for him to mock IGN like this just means, he knows something that we dont.
And rightfully so. IGN and Steve Butts deserve to be slut shamed for these two incidents.
So much professionalism of some "journalists".
Come on Sony, show tomorrow The Last Guardian and you will win a Nobel Prize.
If they don't show it this year, they should just announce it's cancelled. And then re-announce the game when they are closer to release.
2011 until now the game has no release date
