The Last Guardian and Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collections Delayed... again

 Some depressing news out of Japan folks, according to the Playstation Blog and SCEA, The Last Guardian and Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collections will be delayed again. The Last Guardian was supposed to come out this Winter but instead has been moved to sometime next year. It's my guess that the collection is being moved back because they want those two games to help promote TLG. Hopefully the collection will be out by winter but we have no way of knowing right now, I expect a lot more information at E3. I'm rather disappointed, I never finished ICO or Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2 (even though I own both) and was hoping to play them this summer. Maybe I'll just go back and find my old copies and enjoy them on my PS3, they wont look as good but it's the gameplay that counts right? Were you looking forward to any of these games this year? Do you think Sony is trying to move this low notoriety game out of the busy holiday season or is it a necessary delay to improve quality? |

I heard that Ueda wasn't happy with just straight ports of the two games, so he wanted to take charge and assure they meet his expectations. So when you have a tiny studio work on that, on top of Last Guardian, that pushes things back.
Also, when you have a tiny studio work on an HD console game the first time with a new graphic engine (HD console games require much more work/time, which explains why most Japanese games take longer to make such as GT5, FFXIII, etc.), development will take quite a long time. If you are at the CAG meetup, I'll explain it. |

its probably only like 20-30 people working on this game vs. 200 some people who where working on MGS4 at its peek.

Ico and Shadow were two of my favorites from the PS2 era, and I've been really looking forward to Last Guardian for what seems like forever now. I'm disappointed that it's being delayed, but I'm more than willing to wait for it. Maybe it's just as well; this winter/holiday season is still too crowded with games I want Day One even with this delay.

Good. They should delay it until I never hear of it again.

@Mana Knight,it really depends on what a game is going for.I think FF13 is a bad example because that game just had a horrible development in which they had no clear goal in mind what they wanted to do with it(same was going on with the versus series there doing).Now look at Atlus with Catherine that's there first HD title and they got it out pretty fast.So it really all depends on what the game is going for.

@themaster20000, Catherine used a graphic engine Sony themselves created for third party devs (which helps), was not a graphically intense game, and a game that would not require as much stuff. I'm talking about higher profile games here.
