welp...
Going into this gen (2006) I had three main things I was really looking forward to:
-Next gen Silent Hill from Team Silent.
-Next gen Final Fantasy 'trilogy' (i.e. FFI-III on NES, IV-VI on SNES, VII-IX on PS1, etc.)
-Ueda's next game.
No, it didn't. A much earlier version of the trailer leaked.
YouTube or it didn't happen
How do you know though?That site leaked it 2 weeks before the conference tho.. It was already going to be shown
How do you know though?
It was the same trailer, but Sony modified it a bit after the leak.How do you know though?

Unbelievable amount of misinformation and FUD in this thread.
Sony filed an "Intent to Use" application as a placeholder years ago. Basically, you can file this on the principal register so that no one else can use the mark, but it is conditioned on the actual intent to use the mark. You can just squat on it. They got many extensions, and it seems that they just didn't file this latest one in a timely manner.

If you look at the extension approval from January 13th, you'll see that they got a 6 month extension, but would have to refile then. It doesn't look like they did. SO, either they just screwed up and forgot, or they are actually abandoning the mark. I would think that it's the first. Having to remember to file these things could slip by someone in their legal department. Keep an eye out; I'm sure they will make a filing soon to remedy this. If not, THEN this thing has been truly abandoned.
Edit: Also, terrible reporting from IGN. It took me 2 minutes to find the history of filings. Granted, I've taken a trademark class, but still, they should have reached out to someone at the very least. Pitiful.
...why?Changing the name of the game might be a good idea.
They should let SCE Santa Monica finish it.
No, it's not, the assets are completely different.It was the same trailer, but Sony modified it a bit after the leak.

This is what Sony should´ve done to Team Ico years ago:
So there are 3 possibilities of what could have happened:
1. Vaporware
2. Namechange
3. Sony forgot to renew the trademark
Am I right?
Name changed to Vaporware.Name changed? Vaporware?
Yeah, I guess. That leaked footage was supposed to be a year old. Maybe it did force Sony to actually reveal the game at E3 2009.No, it's not, the assets are completely different.
EDIT: As that video very clearly shows.
However, the game has undergone changes since this was created more than a year ago, and its current status and focus are unknown.
Guys, guys, it's coming next week!
RIP
That game was cancelled? oO
HOLY SHIT
