Ico

Ico​ (イコ Iko,? English pronunciation: /ˈiːkoʊ/) is a 2001 action-adventure video game published by Sony Computer Entertainment and released for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was designed and directed by Fumito Ueda, who wanted to create a minimalist game around a "boy meets girl" concept. Originally planned for the PlayStation, Ico took approximately four years to develop by Team Ico. The team employed a "subtracting design" approach to reduce elements of gameplay that interfered with the game's setting and story in order to create a high level of immersion.

Shadow Of The Colossus

Shadow of the Colossus, released in Japan as Wander to Kyozō (ワンダと巨像 Wanda to Kyozō?, officially translated Wander and the Colossus), is an action-adventure video game published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEI) for the PlayStation 2.
The game was directed by Fumito Ueda and developed at SCEI's International Production Studio 1, also known as Team Ico; the same development team responsible for the cult hit Ico. Shadow of the Colossus is considered a spiritual successor to Ico.

Famitsu has confirmed that Team ICO’s hit PS2 classics ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are being remade for PlayStation 3.

The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Team ICO’s hit PS2 classics ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are being remade for PlayStation 3. The index page of the magazine lists each game separately, which may suggest it’ll release in Japan as two separate titles.

A retailer leak from earlier today suggests that it’ll be bundled in other territories.

Update: The scan is in. The two-page spread showcases The Last Guardian, ICO, and Shadow of the Colossus. The scans confirm both games are HD remastered classics. Expect to hear more this week.

Box art looks nice.

They should package it with TLG or I may end up never buying it

apparently, both games are going to be sold separately in japan.

[Bulovski]

Let them keep the games separate - they will make a killing by releasing this a few weeks before TLG a la GOW3 and GOW Collection.

Really hope the remastering is better than GOW remastering.

[Joy]

Sexcellent Box Art. Will get this Day 1.

+1 to Bul , hope remastering is better than GOW remastering as GOW 1&2 didn't look that much better compared to their PS2 versions.

I wish someone remasters Shadow of Rome as well , maybe Capcom can add RE4 together as well.

sorry for ot, but mind explaining what was wrong with the gow remakes? i was actually considering buying it.

[Snake]

Dont think anything was wrong as such...just that the cutscenes were HD-ized or whatever, but other than that it looked pretty awesome!!!

[nash]

Now I can finally play Ico and see what the fuss is all about.

[K'dash]

Awesome news...never finished SOTC and never played ICO...this will give me a reason to play them both...

[Aftrunner]

Of the two ICO will benefit most from upscaling. Game looks like sh*t on a LCD. SotC should be ok, it looked great as it was but at least it will get rid of the frame drops, it used to get pretty bad sometimes.

@nash Not exactly your kind of game.

[MarketTantrik]

So the cat's outta the bag.

[pArth]

2001 game

They got a hell lot of upscaling and remastering to do

[KrackChap]

sorry for ot, but mind explaining what was wrong with the gow remakes? i was actually considering buying it.

i want to know this as well and i already completed both the games in the gow collection. the only problem is some of the pre rendered cutscenes look like a*s otherwise its a great port.

[silentassassin]

i had ICO for PS2...

I played the game long back...
Played for an hr i guess...Dint like it much....
Dont get me wrong i thot it was some sort of beat em up game whn i got it...

[Aftrunner]

^^ROFL.

It was a good game but got way too overhyped. I cant wait for the first timers to play it and realize that.

SotC on the other hand though was an absolute gem.

I had very very little knowledge on gaming back then...

I never knew the game so popular n good until i joined ivg n read most of u guys comments.

[Madmage]

Lol.. There is gonna be a meltdown when the new skool guys play ICO and abuse the guys who have praised the game to the sky.

[Bulovski]

GOW Collection although remastered looks very washed out. The crispness is lost because quite possibly they just stretched the pixels. It looked pretty crappy on a large screen. It would probably look better on a lower resolution since it was meant for a low res.

[Zodak™]

never played ICO ND SOTC...can't for HD remastered Edition...

It will run at 60fps at 720p with AA just like GOW collection

[KrackChap]

looks like it wont be a straight port

Even more excited for PS3 ICO/Shadow of the Colossus collection, for reasons that should become clear tomorrow #mykillerapp #TGS2010

Ueda absolutely will not sign off on the remakes until he's happy with them, and he's not really reviewing 'em at the same time as far as I know. They're meant to be budget-priced releases (relatively) when they hit, so take solace in that. Apparently there's internal discussion of making each one sort of collectors edition-style with more than just the game and maybe offering early peeks and what could have been, though I'm not entirely sure that'll happen.

Basically Ueda is lord and master of anything Team ICO does, and it happens when he says it will. I would honestly expect there to be those cut colossi in the HD remake. I don't think this is like God or War or even Sly (though there is some awesome in the Collection that you guys will want to see, trust me) where it's more or less the games up-rezzed. He's treating this like any Director's Cut release. Hell, if they announce a date I wouldn't be surprised if it slid.

I agree with Shaftgrabber (on everything but the overhyped bit). This is very much a Braid-sorta game.

[Aftrunner]

Yep. No blood, no gore, no guns, no boss fights (well except that one), simplistic combat etc etc. There isnt really any flash about the game.

But it does work in its abstraction and some of the puzzles in there are very, VERY good (except that c**ksucking piston). Still its not exactly (and this really isnt dripping with condescension despite seeming so ) the kind of game that will find a lot of new fans here.

Braid is an apt comparison. Except you know, Braid is worth the hype.
