This shot reminds me, its pretty exciting to have this team returning to a focused locale. SotC's sprawling wasteland hit all the notes it intended, but Ico's castle was such an evocative, atmospheric, unforgettable place to explore. Place being the operative word. The last shot in the trailer is one of many glimpses, the wind effecting virtually every feather, branch, leaf and blade of grass.

Can we hope for a Ico \ Sotc in HD via PSN or XBLA?

it's that curiosity that'll do it, I find. ;D See, if their reaction had been "nice" and that had been the long and short of it that would speak to their interest or lack there of any, but that they're wondering what they're supposed to DO in the game tells me this game is gonna do big things!
i showed the leaked trailer to my younger brother - who refuses to play SotC even though I've told him over and over again how chock full of win it is - and he actually asked me when the game comes out (which is moar than I expected :lol) !!!

Jokes apart, a PSN HD ICO or SOTC would kick ass

Arrows? No. Huge spears? Yes. Raist threw them, he's mean to me.

The only thing that didn't look very good so far is the water when the creature emerges from it, but it's not big deal considering it will probably look better by the time of release considering how incredible the game looks.
Can't wait to see more, yet at the same I don't want to see anything else till I have the game in hands.

Yes, although Ueda confirmed that you can remove them if you want.

Hey I just realized something while posting on Beyond3D, I'll just copy paste the post:
Actually, Ueda mentioned that all the feathers are individually physics-driven since there is wind throughout the game, and even his throat movement when he swallows food is physics-driven too (it's like a soft body that stretches automatically as the object goes down his throat).
The reason for this is not only because it looks better, but it allows them to automate a whole lot of aspects that would otherwise require a lot of hand work for lesser quality.
For example, we can imagine that after the creature comes out of the water, all the feathers became heavier, so they are affected different by the physics as a result. This is very easy to do if they are already controlled by physics. Then you just have to take care of how to make them look wet on a visual level.
With the throat, it means that anything it swallows, even a character, might move as it goes down his throat (in Japanese, the game is called "The giant man-eating eagle Toriko"), and this would be all handled by the physics so in can result in all sorts of unique animations.
Very smart way to work. Can't wait to see the whole game, they are artistic and technical geniuses.

I think that would be funny if you could swallow those soldiers alive
Also, on an unrelated note, if the soldiers are golem-like, then it might point at a link with the people who made the colossi, maybe they are made by the same people.

It's kind of ridiculous that Sony is still letting this team fall under the nebulous wing of their Japan Studio instead of making them into the new superstar dev-house like Polyphony Digital or Naughty Dog.

They did that a lot with SOTC as well. I'm suprised more studios don't, but Team Ico also got self-shadowing to work on the PS2, so they're pretty on the ball.Ether_Snake said:Hey I just realized something while posting on Beyond3D, I'll just copy paste the post:

I'm wondering if there'll be an online multiplayer mode where one person plays as the kid and tries to get through a certain area while another 8 or so guys play as guards and stab the shit out of the birdy with spears and arrows.

Sony saved them as one of the crown jewels of their lineup at e3. I think the budget and time they afford them is evidence they are a superstar studio.

I just think they could better leverage the unanimous adulation of the gaming press and hardcore gaming audience if they let them become their own brand so to speak.BruceLeeRoy said:

Insane For Sony
You are probably right, but there's something appealing about their relative anonymity and willingness to be low key as well.MickeyKnox said:

That would never work. Who would want to stab the poor thing? ;_;God's Beard said:
I've got an idea, the guards can try and tickle and/or pet it into submission. There, I think that would work.

I just beat SotC a week ago and it was a very depressing, but entertaining experience. Hauntingly beautiful.
Very much looking forward to TLG.
