Wired: Two youths on an adventure together, having just come through dangerous territory, spy a nearby bench and sit on it to rest, taking a quiet, serene moment before their next trial.
If you saw that scene in a recent videogame, would it make you think of an old game called Ico? If so, we’re on the same wavelength.
They may not be as remembered by the vast majority as other classics, but these PlayStation 2 titles are still significant.
A good number of these games are pretty well-known in the gaming community. I don't know who this 'no one' is, but they might not have been a gamer during the time of the PS2. ICO? The Warriors? BULLY?!? C'mon now.
Not one of these is pretty "forgotten". But what you can forget are bad lists that need 15 clicks.
The title is misleading, it should be 15 best ps2 that you always ignored (hence the title of the video).
These games are not unknow but often left out when talking PS2 great game.
The warrior is a great game but let's be frank just mention it in a discussion amongs friends and half the crowd will go " OMG I forgot about that! "
15 games on 15 pages? F*** that. I'll save you a click:
The Thing
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
Twisted Metal Black
ICO
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Transformers
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Red Dead Revolver
War of the Monsters
XIII
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
The Warriors
Bully
This video game journalist must not know any gamers, not be on any gaming sites, and is probably young only know of these games because of an older sibling.
None of those games are forgotten and most are spoken of fondly fairly often.
On the 20th anniversary of its release, Famitsu would like to introduce all the comments from top creators around the world to "ICO" that were delivered across the boundaries of the industry.
genDESIGN has released an early development video of ICO in celebration of its 20th anniversary on December 6.
Very special game! I still have the limited edition. The artstyle of Team ICO is very distinct. https://www.videogameshelf....
This was a fun look at Ico. So hard to believe it's been 20 years already. Where does time go?
I wouldn't call it obscure anymore, or a secret that it's inspiring things.
Ico inspired these games:
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Rime
The Last of Us
Journey
Ico is a masterpiece.
Lets not forget the fact that it was also a epilogue to Shadow of the Colossus. Not a bad 1-2 punch. Not bad at all :)
Had no gameplay, but that wasnt a bad thing.
A very great game. It is one of those games where you can see where future games got inspiration. It wasn't the first game to try and evoke emotion from the player but this game inspired 2 console generations of game creators. Name another game that was able to do that. I give this title "your favorite developer's favorite game."
