Some things are worth waiting for.
Agreed. This is one of those things I wouldn't be bothered waiting another year for, just so long as the quality is improved.

Sad to hear.
But as Fumito Ueda said: to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users.
I rather wait a little longer.

I am holding out to replay ICO and SOTC in HD. I guess I could revisit the originals in the meantime.

Awwwww, really? Oh well. I hope Ueda's telling the truth. Because then this game will be truly epic.

Yeah, not news for those of use that found this out a week before the supposed release date of the double pack (I knew the April Fools release date meant something). Thanks for waiting almost three weeks after the release date to announce a delay.

Sure, I'll probably no longer be angry when it comes out, but considering I've been delay-blocked by 4 games now, I'm starting to think 2011 is the year of delays (at least the spring portion, as everything seems to be moving out of it).

Oh, well, back to 999 for me.

If this means a better game, I'm all for it. It also means thats one less game I'll need to squeeze in this holiday season.

So now I have to listen to pretentious Ico fanboys ***** about how they can't play their pretentious games?

(F)lame.
Fixed.

I don't think you're adding much with this. They're good games. There's nothing pretentious games being good or the people enjoying them.

OT: Been waiting a while. I can wait longer. There are quite a few games still to be completed on my shelves.

I LOVE longer development times. It means the games are more polished and overall better the longer they're in development, unless they're just plain not working on it (Episode 3?). Two years minimum for the level of quality I expect out of my video games.

All of the biggest failures and customer middle fingers over the past few years were games that had been rushed out the door to please whiny fans who couldn't wait another 8 months for the completed game.

This would concern me a lot more if those releases weren't playstation exclusive, since I don't own one...

Now if they were releasing those games on the XBox as well, I would be rather sad since those seem to be great games that I would really love to play!

I apologise, I come from Gametrailers and there the Ico fanboys are the most pretentious gamers you will ever find.

It does not excuse my actions, I am sorry.
I do really like their games but I'm no sycophant and will concede they probably exist for Team ICO. I have my reservations on how annoying they (Team ICO) allow 'Trico, the man-eating eagle' to be. I am looking forward to this game but if it's not good I will be sorely disappointed and will not blindly praise The Last Guardian.

*I don't really know what Gametrailers is... I'm going to throw it in with 4chan. Is that about right?

This, it at least gives my wallet a breather and it won't compete with such huge titles if it's squeezed into a 2012 release.

So long as it's a great game, I'll be patient.

I get the feeling this wasn't just to add polish. This game was delayed so it wouldn't en up competing with Uncharted 3 and they wouldn't end up taking away each others audience.

Come on, you know I'm right.
Well, on one hand I agree, though I would suspect it's due to the crowded holiday season sales, rather then Uncharted alone :p

If it comes out after, during a more quiet period, it might have a chance to shine if there are no other big releases.
Added bonus is, it gets more development time.
