Sony May Have Announced The Last Guardian Too Early

[reithena]

Has it really only been 3 years? It feels like so much longer...I really want this game...

However, I do trust Team Ico to pull of fantastic things, so just keep giving me a screenshot every 3 years and I'll be good...I can hope.

Has there ever been a game in development this long that didn't suck when it came out?

I'm serious. Tell me if you know. All I can think of is stuff like Galleon and Duke Nukem: Forever.

The Last Guardian hasnt taken that long yet. And those games... well DNF atleast (never heard of Galleon) ended up sucking because of the massive amount of hype that was built up for them... than the saddness that they were canceled, than the hype when it was said they were still being worked on, etc...

Its not really that the games themselves are bad, its the massive backlash from the hype for the game being met with what we are given.

You know, I'm pretty sure Duke Nukem Forever sucked because 3D Realms built up and destroyed the engine it was running on something like three times, rendering all previous assets completely useless and hemorrhaging money as they constantly lost employees or needed to downsize because George Broussard was an incompetent, unpleasable dick. 3D Realms finally crashed in 2010 and gave Gearbox a stitched-together Frankenstein's Monster of a game, which they rushed to finish by 2011.

OT: Yeah, Sony, you probably did, but no worse than SquareEnix and when they announced Final Fantasy Versus XIII. And as long as the game comes out, then you're no worse than SquareEnix with all of the Kingdom Hearts Final Mix remixes, or Final Fantasy Type-0, which haven't even been released outside of Japan.
