The Last Guardian is a lot like Half-Life 3 and Beyond Good & Evil 2. It just won't come the hell out, and any news we hear about it is generally wishy-washy political bologna that equates to "don't forget about our game, but also we have no new information for you." It's opaque, with hot air leaks. We have every reason to forget about those games.

But they keep teasing us because they know we loved their games in the past. In an interview with Wired, Grand Poobah of Sony Worldwide Entertainment Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that dev teams from all over the world are pitching in to help Fumito Ueda and the Ico crew get this game finished. The've got U.K. and Santa Monica all over this title right now, along with the Japanese studio -- making this production one big adorable Benneton-ad lookin', Unite the World project.

Cheering? Yeah, I thought you would be. They promise it will come out, they promise they've got talent on it, but I have a distinct feeling this is going to feel like Duke Nukem Forever when it comes out (except without the rape jokes...hopefully). Can't promise me it won't suck, buddies, so I am not longer going to file this in the "I'm excited" section of my life. I am officially apathetic. The lead producer already called it quasi-quits, the game has been pulled from all sorts of conventions, and there hasn't been a whiff of anything but dissent and inaction for years now.
