Word on The Last Guardian has been awfully quiet lately, as the latest we've heard has been about technical difficulties way back in June. We may be close to more information, though, as the game's creative director has told eager fans to "keep an eye out" for official release details.

One game sadly absent from Sony's E3 showcase this year was Team Ico's stunning The Last Guardian, which we last heard was being rebuilt following the resignation of designer Fumito Ueda. Fear not, though, Sony has said while it's still suffering through "technical difficulties," it'll only be released "when it is absolutely ready."
It's been a long time since we've heard from Sony about their plans to adapt Shadow of the Colossus into a film. However, the project is apparently still alive. According to a new report, Josh Trank, director of the recent Chronicle has been signed to lead the project.
At this point, we've seen more drama surrounding the development of The Last Guardian than we have actual gameplay footage. The next game from Team Ico has been plagued by extensive delays, and was purportedly "canceled" after game designer Fumito Ueda resigned from the company to work as a contractor. With no release date in sight, how is The Last Guardian shaping up?
According to Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, the game is still "making progress," but adds that it is "slow progress."
It was one of my favorite releases of 2011. The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection bundled two PS2 classics and restored them in beautiful 720p and 30fps. In a year filled with HD re-releases, this bundle easily stood out as the best.
If, for some reason, the $40 asking price was a bit too high for you, you'll be able to get the games piecemeal via the PlayStation Network next week.
Brace yourselves Last Guardian fans, as things appear to have potentially taken another turn for the worse. Fumito Ueda, head of highly regarded Team Ico, is rumored to be leaving his post. All may not be lost, as he is said to be staying on in a freelance capacity to see the game through to completion. If true, though, it could be a blow to future potential PlayStation exclusives, with Last Guardian closing a relationship that resulted in critical darlings, Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus.
It might seem like plenty to get HD upgrades for classic PlayStation 2 titles like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, but SCEA isn't keen on just throwing them out the door without a few extra bells and whistles.
Today, the PlayStation Blog revealed that the upcoming Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection will include a number of extra pieces of "bonus" content, including some that links to developer Team Ico's next game: The Last Guardian.
