I'm gonna guess...

-Last Guardian is eventually pushed to PS4 due to both technical issues and general slow down because of Ueda's departure.

-Versus is actually closer to completion that it seems, makes it out on the tail end of PS3.

-Agent continues to exist as a mere name only, gets quietly shelved with the transition to PS4.

But really, who the hell knows. Laughing

I'm betting on dual-releases for PS3/PS4 since their game-engines were developed for PS3.

Even Watchdogs is still getting its PS3 release.

Honestly, I'd much rather hear about a PS3 price-drop since my PS3 is starting to go on the fritz. And though I plan to buy a PS4, I will not buy it on launch... Betting I'll get one when a new FF game or, most likely, any future Tales series RPG gets released on that system (or any other awesome RPG)...
...Or if that Project Gaikai, whatever it is, shows its true form and how its going to work.. Cause...I'm not going to re-buy games I own on that service... I'll just buy a used system that runs them... Actually my original Playstation works just fine, as does my Ps2....so Yeah...

Pretty much, I'm waiting till E3 and to hear more Sony news and the mysterious Final Fantasy.

Just hoping that the PS4, like Sony's past few systems, will be game region-free. I can't trust Namco-Bandai to give us all the Tales series games, and I care more about those than any of the modern Final Fantasy games.

Two games that I have been anxiously waiting for...And they're (still) in development hell.

Though I actually wouldn't mind seeing them pushed onto the PS4. Hopefully they both pass the finish line.

Way back when The Last Guardian was first announced, I made peace with the fact that I was going to have to buy a PS3 for it despite there being no other games on the horizon that I was interested in.

Flash forward to now and thanks for saving me a few hundred dollars, Team Ico...?

Don't really care about The Last Guardian, but it's really incredible how much Sony will not talk about this game.

Same for Versus, but I actually care about that game. I truly hope it comes out for PS3.

I really hope The Last Guardian isn't canned or mistreated when it eventually releases. Team ICO has gained too much prestige from ICO and Shadow of the Colossus to be mishandled. Their games may not be the biggest money makers, but being having such critical acclaim and being made by an in-house Sony dev team really makes Sony look good. Who would expect that such artsy, experimental, indie-style games like ICO and SotC and TLG were made in-house at Sony? Keeping TLG on track would just ensure good will towards Sony.

Please don't can it, please release it properly!

Now that we know about the PS4, I'm in agreement that The Last Guardian and FFvsXIII will become PS4 titles. That's fine with me, at least that would be 2 reasons for me to buy a PS4 (I don't just buy new systems when they come out, I buy them when I feel there is a "must have" game coming out for it; these both qualify).

Sony already had a history of strange "artsy" games and continues this with it's PSN releases. They don't need Team Ico for that. All team Ico has become is a joke.

Calling Team ICO a joke seems pretty extreme. They're taking a while to make a game, and we don't even know if the responsibility is all Team ICO. Having the main creative force behind the Team go freelance midway into production probably didn't help. Team ICO has enough prestige from ICO and SotC to be more than a joke after one game goes into development hell. If the game comes out and is terrible and not awesomely artsy as hell, then we'll talk about them being a joke.

Are all the PSN released games made in-house by Sony, or just published on Sony's platform? Like Journey was developed by Thatgamecompany, with Sony merely publishing. Team ICO is uniquely an in-house Sony dev team.

Previews of "Last guardian" were released far too early. PS4 IS ON ITS WAY! Same with Versus. They are out of their minds.

Seems like this is getting to be one of those scenarios similar to FFVII. When the whole fiasco with Nintendo happened and Sony got it and it was perfect timing. Or could be close to the whole early days of rpgs when we hopped over FF5 for FF6 for the new SNES. I really hope that this game will see the light of day.

Versus and Last Guardian seem like the only two games that have been in production for almost two years now if not more.
