Scott Rohde, head of software product development at Sony (apparently), has updated his Twitter to say that this isn't true:
https://mobile.twitter.com/RohdeScott/status/475515804067569664
He said: "and I laughed at this rumor over dinner. The Last Guardian has NOT been cancelled"
To which someome aptly replied "But never being released either." Zing.
Honestly, I've been expecting the cancellation news for some time and wouldn't be at all surprised if this denial is just Rohde trying to save face for Sony this weekend before E3, only for the announcement to come out quietly in a few weeks. Fumito Ueda's departure from Sony started out as a rumor until it was confirmed as well.
Even if it's not canceled, with Ueda's undoubtedly more limited role -- as well as the departure of the game's executive producer at the same time Ueda left Sony, and the ongoing development hell of this project -- does anyone still have high hopes for it? I don't.
"ICO" and "Shadow of the Colossus" are two of my absolute favorite games, but I feel like "The Last Guardian" is forever going to be summed up in "what could have been."

And what a wait-to-reward ratio that was.

Again: They'd be stupid to go out and announce something as 'cancelled' because money, stock holders, blah blah. It would be admitting to not getting shit done. (Although leaving something in production for 5 years or what that is doesn't make you look any better.)
I've simply stopped getting excited for things that doesn't have a release date. Too old and jaded.

My heart can't take such an emotional roller coaster.
And you just started watching Game of Thrones.

"Questionable" implies there's still some notion that it might. =P

wouldn't the last guardian have that 'only on playstation' thing at the top that the order 1886 has if it were real?
also i imagine less japanese on the cover since that looks like uk/european covers

It's hideously hazy like someone went over it with a finely toothed comb to doctor and shoop it up. Well, we're likely not getting it. It's a shame because as much as I thought SotC was wicked cool I was amped for some more precision platforming. And without Ico's horrible camera

How I feel whenever I see this threads updated, and it's not news about it actually coming out.

Well, you can't get much more depressing than "Last Guardian".
Even the premise of the two games that came before it were sad.
Guy saves dead girlfriend by nearly almost dying, becomes evil incarnate, dies and reincarnates in to a horned kid who becomes a sacrifice and is hunted by shadows for the rest of his life.
