10 Announcements We Want To Hear At Gamescom

3. The Last Guardian Gets A Release Date, Is Coming Out On PS4

Last Guardian Even more dubious than the announcement of GTA V on the PS4, though one I'm even more eager to see happen, is a final announcement of The Last Guardian's release date, given how long the game has been in development over at Team Ico. The game, for those who don't know, is the spiritual successor to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, and revolves around a young boy and a giant griffin-like creature he calls upon for help. The dominant mechanic of the game is that the two have to co-operate to advance through the world, using their differences in size to progress. With constant delays and vague comments about technical issues, the game is believed by many to be cancelled, even as Sony insist that it's still in active development. One persistent rumour is that it is being retooled for the PS4, an announcement which would be both incredible and also likely a fantasy.
