Sony is hopeful that The Last Guardian will see broader popularity. I think their hoping the games' 'cult status' has accumulated to the point that a wider audience of people will have awareness of and interest in these cool games they've heard about but not played.

A re-release on PS3 in HD would thus be the PERFECT way to encourage that kind of interest, a really nice way to help newcomers catch up with the games prior to TLG. If anything, IMO, doing it with the Team Ico games makes even more sense than it did with GoW.

I agree. Ico's and Sotc's status has grown over the years through word of mouth since their quiet beginnings. I remember when that Trico trailer was leaked last year it got huge buzz and over a million views on Youtube in just a few days. Now I realize that's just on the internet so we'll see if it extends to the average gamer. I think many have heard people rave about these two games and will finally just check them out just to see what the hype is about, and also to prepare for the Last Guardian which most people seem interested in because it looks great, and unique compared to other games out there.

I know, I was agreeing with him. No sarcasm in the post, I was literally saying he'd go places here.

You know, people will like him.

I need a better 'agreement/disagreement' detector...seriously :lol This is about the second time lately I've picked up a post incorrectly.

<3 freaks
 
This is great news if it's true, because only yesterday I posted these 2 games in that thread asking about great games that you'll never get to play. :)

Add the the other collosi that ended up getting scrapped, HD, and smoother framerate and I'm there.

As for ICO, not sure what you can do besides HD.

If they do add them I hope they're optional.
I'm sure they were axed for a reason. I'd rather not have to suffer through any sup-bar boss fights or have the game drag on for too long.
 
ok this is nice...I was looking for ICO again a couple of days ago and that thing is still $40..

so to get a HD Ico + Shadow of the Colossus for $40 would be even better.....pluuuus... I wonder if they will include the missing Colossi.....and maybe *prays* an online co-op feature based on the original SOTC NICO trailer :D

They can add the translation of Yorda's speech to the US release.
Click to expand...

player 2 can control Yorda in the Japanese Version ( and PAL version iirc ) they should add this to the US remake too.
 
I've already played through SotC in 1080p 4xAA/AF @ 60fps, and it was unbelievable.

If Team Ico ups the poly count on the wanderer and agro, and bumps out some textures, I might shit myself.
 
I hateeeeeeeeed the pre-ending boss, i kept falling over and over and over again. I don't think i ever want to replay it. I don't supposed my saved data that lets me replay older boss fights as time trials would carry over?
 
I still remember seeing an Ico game at my local store until now...
 
If they upgrade Yorda's AI above "butt-fuck retarded", then I'll buy.

I'm not going through that frustration again unless she grows some goddamn brain cells.
 
Wouldn't it kind of make more sense to release the Last Guardian first and then release the collection? The games are (as far as we know) not related directly, it's not a linear affair like God of War 1, 2 and 3. So maybe they should release the Last Guardian this year and then release the collection in feb-mar 2011, so that it kind of "rides the wave" of TLG.

Or maybe that's just me wanting to play TLG this year :P
 
Day one.
I definitely won't selling the old ones though.
I have the nice PAL cardboard boxed editions.

What is wrong with her a.i?
She's blind man, she can't go and do shit on her own unless you want her to drop off a cliff or something.

When those black holes open and those things are trying to capture her, her first reaction should be to RUN FOR HER FUCKING LIFE. Her second reaction should be to PUT UP A FUCKING FIGHT.

GOD DAMN.

So frustrating. Makes me want to put Burnout Paradise into my PS3 so I can ram fools into the fucking wall.

I think you're missing the point of Yorda's character. Which is that shes helpless.

Does the gameplay always have to be 100% logical? Yes she might be able to act on her own for at least a few seconds, maybe get a head start. But how much would you like the game to do your work for you? The challenge for the player in the game is that she is completely helpless.

If they don't do this collection, they at least need to do a reprint of Ico, maybe even with the Japanese and PAL box art.

If they do the collection, for Ico they could re-include all the content that didn't make it into the NA version like the co-op mode, translation for Yorda's dialogue, and (I think) extra weapons.

Oh God, please be true, do not fuck with me on this, GAF. I cannot be let down on this.

It's going to happen. This is the only "Collection" from Sony that makes sense right now. And after seeing how successful the GoW Collection turned out to be, there's no reason for them not to do it.

I wouldn't be surprised if God of War I & II Collection hits a million in the U.S., especially if Sony drops it to $20. That's gotta prove the value is there for the right kind of remake project. Hopefully everyone remembers the short development time (and presumably smaller budget) of GoW1&2C and does the same thing with any other remakes.

The only collection I could see doing similar figures is a Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2 & 3 collection. Ok, maybe just 2 & 3, but that'd be enough for me personally. :)

I could see FFX, FFX-2, FFXII doing high numbers as well and if Capcom did RE1-4 then it could as well, but that's highly unlikely as only 4 is a PS2 game.

I wonder if they still have any incentive for Software Emulation and "PSTwo Classics" on PSN store, I hope they haven't forgotten some of us still want that!

Only GAF is obsessed with Ico and SOTC. I don't know ANYBODY else that likes these games. SOTC was alright and Ico was just plain boring.
Click to expand...

You shut your whore mouth! SOTC is an original title that no one else has replicated and Ico has great platforming and puzzles along with an epic final boss.

If she was able to fight back or run effectively, what would be the point of you protecting her?
 
never played ICO, and I'm not sure if I want to.

Shadow of the Colossus was an overrated piece of shit. I doubt HD can save that terrible, terrible game.

SotC is much more than a cult-hit, it has sold nearly 1 million in America, according to NPD.



Seems that was fixed, but now there's an "offset" problem or something.

The shadow people look wrong and so do the bloom effects to a degree. Also, the game is demanding if you want to run it at really high res with AA and at 60FPS. Much more so than other PS2 games I tried. There is also the nightmare that is making DS3 work (with rumble) on PC which requires a hack upon hack upon hack to work it seems, so I just gave up and I'm using that crappy logitech's wireless PS2 controller.

jett said:
It does? Eh.

Character animation and control in SotC is definitely on a sub-Ico level which is really strange for a follow up game. For a long time I thought it was because the framerate in SotC was worse, but playing them both on 60FPS, now I suspect it has to do with the dynamic / IK / AI adaptable nature of animation in SotC, which was present in Ico only partially but got full blown implementation in SotC. They seem to have really perfected it in TLG though.
