All aboard the hype train.

Fucking lol

Alright so that means only five more years.

I have no idea why anyone would even be hyped for it after Sony kicked off the lead creative director for refusing to turn the game into a generic action adventure game like uncharted.

Ueda left Sony because of "a sense of crisis within [himself] about a lot of things" (http://www.edge-online.com/news/ueda-terribly-sorry-for-the-last-guardian-delay/), he wasn't fired. He's still on the project as a consultant. And I have never heard anything about Sony wanting to turn TLG into an Uncharted-like.

Where do you even get your information from?

Another look at the same article in which Ueda talked about his departure from Sony:
The first signs of his resignation, not firing:
And the confirmation:
On the subject of re-engineering:
I see nothing inherent to presume that Ueda was forced off of the team. In context of the interview, Yoshida most likely meant the actual definition of engineering (the art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences, as physics or chemistry, as in the construction of engines, bridges, buildings, mines, ships, and chemical plants. - Dictionary.com) in that they were working on the technical aspects of the game. This makes a lot of sense given the information we have on why the game was delayed back in the first place:
Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog (Ice Team, makers of the Uncharted series) occasionally met with Team ICO to chat and share ideas:
But in the same article, it's noted that their involvement never reached beyond that:
And the last piece of information, where Ueda confirms without any "vagueness" that the game remains under his "creative supervision":

Yes, that was a lot of running around just to say "nah, that's not the story." But I have followed TLG REALLY closely since 2010 and I don't like misinformation. Sony is a business, and I doubt that they really give two shits about their consumers outside of their money. Sony is also really greedy, especially in their movie department, and we've seen plenty of games ruined because of Sony not understanding what they're doing. But this isn't Sony, it's still Ueda and Team ICO. It's not going to be the best game ever, but I expect it to be in lines with SotC and ICO.
