Wouldn't we be hearing a firm NO if they really hated the game and a little explanation as to why. I think maybe they are doing the whole psychological trick of trying to make us want it even more.

Grasping at straws. I'll probably see Ryo on my toast tomorrow morning.
yeah. i kinda thought that. but why no YES. and why no NO?
There's no limbo; there is nothing in development. It's excruciatingly obvious since Yu says he'd like to exhume, er, resume where he left off. I'd feel a little different if he refused to answer the question, then maybe, maybe I'd consider the prospect that something is brewing and he isn't able to tip his hand because of an NDA would put a veil of secrecy over the projec.

There aren't many in the industry pushing 60 that are working 12 hour days in today's cycle, either. It'd probably be demanded to get a game of this scope finished with what would probably be a very tight budget.
