DarthCaligulaDarthCaligula Elite Ranger
in Zocalo v2.0
I don't know if anyone else here is a fan of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, but it looks like a new game in the series is coming out:

I'm sure looking forward to this since Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games I've ever played.

    I was never aware of this game. I will have to pick up the first one and try it out. Gamestops got it!!!

    Ico is [i]the[/i] best game ever made. Shadow of the Colossus is also one of the greatest.

    Just to be clear, Shadow of the Colossus is not a sequel, nor a prequel (technically), it just happens to be made by the same group with the same base ideas.

    god of war looked good as well though i have the opportunity to watch others play I've never personally played either.

    They had a used copy at Gamestop, I just got done killing the first Giant, very large expansive game.

    Actually, the main behind Ico, Futimo Ueda, is quite modest and when he talks about the story of the games, he refers to them as his interpretation of the story. I personally think that Shadow of the Colossus is a prequal to Ico, but really, everyone can look at these games and get their own idea from it all, which I think is great.

    Oh yes, you can definitely consider SotC as a prequel from a certain perspective. I personally like to think that it is, in a way, a prequel, as there's a neat symmetry to them that way. But ultimately, they're separate games.

    Ico's still my favourite, though. :) It's so... beautifully atmospheric.

    New trailer for Ico 3, or Trico, as it's apparently called, though I think it's a safe bet that the name will change, like how Shadow of the Colossus was first called Nico.

    So it's called The Last Guardian.

    At first the video will look like the one I posted a link to last time, but it is actually a new trailer with more shown.

    (Edit: Found a video with better sound quality.)

    Hooray for gametrailers and their downloadable high quality copies of trailers.

    Its a bit too kawaii, but I guess Ill check it out.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Yeah, all those arrows and spears sticking out of the giant creature are just [i]so[/i] cute!
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I was talking about the creature, not the surroundings. It looks like a puppy, thats all.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    You don't like puppies? :p
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I do, however, the rest of the imagery is somewhat grimdark, it produces an unnecessary contrast.

    Im not saying I wont check it out, or like it, Im just saying that the cuteness could have been toned down.
  • DarthCaligulaDarthCaligula Elite Ranger
    Hey everyone who's played Shadow of the Colossus, check this out, the big secret in the game is finally found!

    Here's the original video that the article I posted a link to has, but the original is bigger:

    amazing, was it intentional you think? or coding error?
  • DarthCaligulaDarthCaligula Elite Ranger
    Most likely it was an area they were planning on putting in, but ran out of time, or they just decided not to put it in the finished game for whatever reason, like they may have changed their mind about what to put in to the game, and they only had a limited amount of time. This type of stuff is actually pretty common from what I understand. There was no reason to remove it from the game, so they just kept it sitting there.
    The guy who did that has other interesting SotC videos that are definitely worth watching.
