If the title The Last Guardian means anything to you, chances are you really, really want to know what the story with it is. Team Ico and Fumito Ueda's first new game since 2005's Shadow of the Colossus has PlayStation 3 owners all sorts of excited, even after the news earlier this month that there's been "some scrapping and rebuilding" on the project.
Now Sony's Shuhei Yoshida, head of the company's worldwide game development studios, has an update on how things are coming along, by way of a new interview with Wired. Yoshida says that progress is being made, even going as far as revealing that the game is "playable, but not to the point that we can talk about the timing of launch."
Yoshida also confirms that Sony's other first-party developers are lending a hand on the project. Sony Santa Monica is specifically named, but Yoshida nods to the company's "central tech group in the U.S. and the U.K." that is "giving [Team Ico] whatever help they need."
The lengthy interview covers a lot of other ground too, including when we might start seeing things like the PlayStation Suite and PSone games up and running on the just-released PlayStation Vita. Definitely worth the read.

the first bioshock took 8 year to make & it's 1 of the best fps ever made. well with Sony Santa Monica helping it should be fine GoW & TLG are simular games there been 6 GoW games not 1 has been a disapointment. God of War betrayal not sure it was made by Sony Santa Monica it's a 2d platformer. not enough game are made like this. fps are KING ah i love 3d puzzel platformer

Unfortunatly I have to agree with what orange skittle said. I liked the two previous games but, their just isnt enough in it for it to take this long. their are very few NPC's, no towns as of yet, and it tends to be just to long. I've litteraly just today finished SotC and I can tell this game is become practicly toxic. I'm sure most companies would want to touch it with a ten foot stick, its just taking to long with so little to do and the graphics being, for this amount of time, average.

i for one actually like the fact there taking there time & not rushing the game, the better it will get & the fact with the other teams there helping they got more people working on it

Lost interest. Looks good but I dont really care about it as much anymore. This game has lost some momentum and will not be as successful as predicted. It will be released when the system is on it's way out which will also cause its failure

This is the game I'm most excited about and I don't mind waiting for the collaboration of teams to make this fantastic....*ahem* patients is a virtue... or so I'm told

Fingers crossed that this will drop next year. I've given up on seeing it in 2012, but goddamn it, if the world survives to see 2013, releasing this would be a nice way to celebrate.

It's good to hear that this game's still being made and more updates Shuhei Yosida can give on this the better. It also sounds more likely that this might actually make it out to stores this year. Though something tells me that when this was first announced, somewhere along the course of its intial development, there was an aspect of the game that could've been expanded upon further than it was intitally being shown, creating a bunch of new technical problems. So they tried handling it as is, and it created a working strain within the group that is Team ICO, which could probably explain why it is people left the project, as well as on why it is so many resources from Sony's numerous different studios are being pulled over to help in development.

I can't help but thinking this game is doomed. The Japanese Duke Nukem Forever. I respect Ico (the game), but never really enjoyed it. I loved SotC. With a looming release, and a lead developer not on the best of terms, I have to assume there's something deeply wrong with the game. I get the feeling it's going to look and sound great, but be boring to play.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

ok guys its betting time, what comes out first:
this or diablo3?
permanent_nirvana
This is like Duke Nukem Forever all over again.

This game better be monstrous huge (!) like two PS3 disks!
Shadow of the Colossus came out SIX YEARS AGO (2006)! AND With no date set for 2012, FANS WILL HAVE TO WAIT LONGER THAN THE ARRIVAL OF GRAN TURISMO 5! (2004-2010)
AmericanKing01
Never gonna see this game compleated.
Evanesque
Really hope it's true that they're getting help to finish, if that's what they need
The Monkey King
I wonder why the development of this game has been hitting so many bumps.
