The Last Guardian executive producer leaves Sony
Earlier this week, it was rumored that Last Guardian director Fumito Ueda had resigned from Sony. Today, there's confirmation that the game's executive producer has departed.
Development behind long-delayed PS3-exclusive The Last Guardian is sure to end in an exposé, not unlike the one seen for LA Noire. Earlier this week, it was rumored that director and iconic games director Fumito Ueda had resigned from Sony, to continue work on the follow-up to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in a freelance form. Today, there's confirmation that the game's executive producer has departed.
Yoshifusa Hayama, has left Sony to join social games company Bossa Studios, developers of Monstermind for Facebook.
"The future of gaming is definitely online and thanks to recent developments with Flash 11, there is no reason why a social game can no longer be as visually stunning and as compelling as the big console titles," Hayama explained in a press release acquired by Develop.
Ueda recently went on Twitter, telling fans that "there's no need to worry, as The Last Guardian is still in production." He, unfortunately, did not offer any clarification on his status as a Sony employee.

Given the resolutions tablets are at nowadays and the graphical horsepower inside them, it's probably within a two year development cycle to plan on them being able to do current gen graphics.

so is it egos that are causing this explosive rift in that company or bad management? i mean, they've been working on this game for going on 7 years now. who is holding up the game?

I think it's another case of RARE syndrome.

7 years is a long time for any game, much less one that has the backing and money of Sony..my guess is Sony was getting tired of the delays and probably put an ultimatum on them to finish the game. i don't blame them either.
