A day later.

Thanks!

EDIT: Anyone have a EU price?

 

[badcrumble]

Just a quick reminder, Ueda mentioned earlier this year that they were considering including a TLG demo with the Team ICO Collection. They still have plenty of time to announce that.

Oh that'd be nice. But I doubt it at this point.

 

[Withnail]

Thank God the EU cover is reversible. Dodged a bullet there.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Oh that'd be nice. But I doubt it at this point.

They made a demo available to journalists earlier this year, so they could use that (even though it isn't actually from the game). I think that would be enough for people. Just a way to get a feel of what to expect.

Does YESASIA charge you right out for pre ordering ? Don't have that kind of money at the moment

 

[Windom Earle]

Preordered japanese LE

Spoiler

twice

. It's too godlike!

 

[LegendOfGood]

So, uh, how much does YesAsia charge for the pre-order? Can't find any info on their site...

 

[sixteen-bit]

I believe YA charges at time of shipment

I wish amiami had preorders up

Shipping was decent too. Spent just over $135 to get it sent to Washington D.C.

Footage I took last night! Game looks very smooth (frame rate wise). Obviously the textures haven't been given much of an update, but it's still MUCH more playable than going back to the original.

 

[ScOULaris]

I guess I can't complain since the US cover is actually decent. I'm still hoping for something equivalent to the Japanese CE though. These games deserve a classy Collector's Case w/ extras.

WTF at the EU cover. It's absurd to think that someone got paid to make that, and even more absurd that Sony gave it the OK.

Thanks for sharing that. We need some direct-feed gameplay ASAP.

Edit: DAMN

Wrong thread

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Yeesh, that box art mockup I posted a few pages back was meant to be a joke - I didn't expect Sony to actually put out something that atrocious. Screw you SCEE, I'm importing the Japanese collector's edition.

 

[ScOULaris]

This is playable on the E3 floor. Why the hell aren't we seeing more pics and videos?

 

[luka]

Preordered JP CE. Thanks for the heads up.

Did they charge you right away? Or will they charge you only when it ships?

Done and done. A bit expensive, but shipping is free.
Thanks for the link.

 

[Ellis Kim]

D:!

I want a reversible cover with awesome ICO art, too!

 

[Erigu]

Ordered via Yesasia as well (didn't have much choice, as Amazon Japan, Rakuten and Bic Camera all displayed "sold out" one after the other as I was trying to order the damn thing), but I wouldn't assume that's going to get me the game in the end: they might cancel the order if they don't get enough copies (that happened to me before, with them).

That being said, Ueda said on his Twitter account that preorders will probably re-open in a little while...

Yeah, I didn't wanna take my chances. I paid the extra $18.00 for shipping. Best of luck to everyone importing it!

 

[ObnoxiousZebra]

Pre-ordered from Yesasia too, here's hoping they get enough stock to meet demand.

 

[soldat7]

So can we pretty much rule out a NA/ Europe CE at this point?

Damnit, I want one for this!

Just pre-ordered from Play-Asia. Sorry, I can't get the link to work.

Thanks. There seems to be a problem with the link of PA, if you try a few times it should work.

If only Play-Asia would deliver PS3 games to the UK. I've had to pre-order from YESASIA, here is hoping they can actually fulfill my order.

 

[Requeim]

reversible EU cover is godly

 

[ChryZ]

Agreed, the EU flip cover is bloody brilliant.

 

[ScOULaris]

Agreed, the EU flip cover is bloody brilliant.

Really? It's just the original covers on both sides with the title lazily printed in Helvetica font along the spine.

What would've you preferred?

 

[LiK]

Hope so. Yesasia wont let us cancel anyways.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Thank god the EU cover is reversible.

2011 Is going to be a good year after all.

 

[vodka-bull]

Pre-ordered the CE from play-asia, thank god it's up.

 

[LiK]

Pre-ordered the CE from play-asia, thank god it's up.

Wow, they're presold out already. Was hoping to have a backup preorder.

 

[ScOULaris]

What would've you preferred?

Well, I don't live in EU, so I don't have to worry about it. Since you asked, though, I would have preferred something to distinguish it from the original cases. You know, an actual cover design.

 

[ObnoxiousZebra]

Hope so. Yesasia wont let us cancel anyways.

Huh, really? What's their reasoning behind this?

 

[LiK]

Huh, really? What's their reasoning behind this?

Its their policy for all video game orders and preorders. Probably has something to do with their supplier. So once you order something video game related (game or accessory), its locked in.

 

[ChryZ]

Just? The original covers are awesome to have them fill the box front and back is as good as it gets.

 

[StuBurns]

I'm really glad they went with the original covers on the other side, they were great covers originally, and this is fundamentally a reissue, it should just have the same covers.

Ah ok, fair enough.

 

[CouchMaster]

Just pre-ordered from PA as it went out of stock, I think I was the last guy to place the order.

More cam gameplay

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Are these videos the first to show that Ico will still have the fog and haze graphical layers? I thought the earlier videos showed a much more sterile look for the remake.

 

[vodka-bull]

Thanks!

EDIT: Anyone have a EU price?

Money shouldn't be a matter for this game, but I guess 40€ seems realistic.

 

[jetsetfluken]

Sold out completely on Play-asia after only just going up after a few hours.
Yesasia sold out alsi.

If you didnt order, prepare for paying $300+ on ebay. Im not kidding, those ebay sellers overprice rare items tenfold.

 

[Lord Error]

No, it's the PC emulated version of the game that's missing that. This remastered version always had the haze effect.

 

[mattp]

More cam gameplay

dat framerate

4 days after my birthday. This will be a day 1 purchase for me.
