Fumito Ueda Wants To See Ico And Shadow Of The Colossus on PS3

From 1up.com- As part of an interview at this year's Tokyo Game Show, Team ICO leader Fumito Ueda took time to answer a few questions provided by the 1UP community, and the most popular of these was whether we might see his games ICO and Shadow of the Colossus released on PlayStation 3 in a combo pack similar to Sony's upcoming God of War Collection.

SnuggleBandit5319d ago

I want it all...I want it now!!!!

OhReginald5319d ago

Demo of The Last Guardian!!!??? (please?)

WOOOO HOOOOOOO

that would be some freaking sweet deal.

Aclay5319d ago (Edited 5319d ago )

I already own both games and have beaten both numerous times, but both of them are among my most favorite PS2 games of all time and I'd buy them both again in a heartbeat if Re-Mastered in HD with Trophies just like God of War on the PS3.

ICO and SoTC were both beautiful looking games on the PS2, but it would truly be a dream to play through them in HD.

Jaces5319d ago

Dear Lord, please let this be!

ReservoirDog3165319d ago

I don't care that I already have both of these games. I don't care how much it costs.

This needs to happen.

Cwalat5319d ago

God of war 1&2 on PS3 HD, 60fps, Trophies

ICO and Shadow of The Colossus on PS3 HD, 60fps, Trophies

Who can say no to this?^

sunil5319d ago

How do we let the sony execs know? Where do I sign?

Seriously... It has been wished for ever since GOW Collection has been announced

The Great Melon5319d ago

Just even hearing him consider it is amazing. I am not asking for much. 720p or 1080p support, a few better textures, maybe mix up the spots you need to strike on the colossus and you have got my money, support, and respect.

Viper75319d ago

Haven't managed to play these 2 yet so I too would be interested. I am not playing with my Ps2 too much these days because of Ps3, Ps3 and "decent" gaming pc so having these classics to run on ps3 with improved graphics and all would be great (even tough my ps3 has backwards compatibility (eu launch ps3))

house5319d ago

can you give me a hell yeah?? haha

Tony999Montana5319d ago

I think we can officially stamp this as 'N4G Demanded'. Now make it happen Sony, the internet has spoken.

Timesplitter145319d ago

I'd buy this at the speed of light

kingOVsticks5319d ago

Listen up! WE ALL WANT ICO AND SOTC ON A BLU RAY WITH TROPHIES AND UPDATED TO HD!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN! NOW!!!!

gaffyh5319d ago

I think it's online petition time :D lol.

vhero5319d ago

Meh as much as a few on here wont admit they are a niche market title. They didn't sell in the millions like other big games on PS2 and they certainly won't sell as much on PS3.

Jamegohanssj55319d ago

Give me this and an updated Vice City with trophies and I'll play my PS3 everyday.

DaTruth5319d ago (Edited 5319d ago )

I would love this, but how many people even know about these games? I loved Ico, but completely missed SotC!

@above: I want all the GTA3's on one disc with all maps accessible at once, that you can fly to in a jet and the San Andreas passenger airplane! Oh, and in HD! And throw in Hawaii with Islands and jungle areas!

ThanatosDMC5319d ago

That'd be awesome! I havent played Ico. Shadow of the Colossus was awesome!

Ju5319d ago

I haven't played either one, but Shadow of the Colossus is still full price in retail AFAIS. If they get a 720p version out, then I know why I have waited so long. Bring it on.

Jamegohanssj55319d ago

Truth, now that's just crazy.

Chubear5319d ago

If Sony listened with GoW1&2, there's a good chance they'll listen with this one. Don't know if Sony's going to try to keep it as doing this with only 100% Playstation exclusive games and I don't remember if Ico and SotC were multiplat last gen but these games and their developers sure do have a strong, undeniable following with PS fans.

Don't know when Last Guardian is supposed to come out. If it's next year then Sony should have their development team working on it right now but if it's in 2011 then they should start work on it pretty soon I'd guess.

Cenobia5319d ago

ICO and SotC were both made by Ueda himself, with Team ICO (they are also developing TLG). Team ICO is a first party Sony developer, so the games have always been exclusive.

I really hope this happens. My copy of ICO got destroyed, and it's price brand new might exceed that of gold.

mfwahwah5319d ago (Edited 5319d ago )

@Vhero

Unlike MS, SONY doesn't care about the sales all the time every time. I lost the interview (it was at GDC or TGS of '08 if I recall correctly, and from a European website: maybe Finnish or Swedish), but Yoshida himself said that despite Ico's poor sales, he knew he would let Team ICO release another game because of the critical acclaim. He understands that SONY gamers LOVE their good games, and he wants us happy.

I am VERY confident after seeing this that they will be released on Blu Ray. As much as people like Trent Reznor want to believe that SONY is Blu Ray first and gaming second, that is COMPLETELY off. SONY loves to provide good games, and they'll definitely be taking this idea seriously (oh, and SotC sold ~ a million copies. Tack on 4-5 years of time for people to have heard about it from EVERY "Top 10 Best Games" list as well as hype from The Last Guardian, and you'll get some bigger numbers).

starvinbull5319d ago

Day one purchase guaranteed.

Like these games or not, if you complete them, then you have experienced two unique seminal gaming moments.

Major_Tom5319d ago

Perhaps we should send an open letter to SCEJ and SCEA to get ICO+SOTC on a Bluray.

ThanatosDMC5319d ago

Shadow is $20 for a new game. You could get a used one at Gamestop or some website for less though.

slave2Dcontroller5320d ago

I have searched all over Los Angeles looking for Ico. No Luck.

Aclay5319d ago

It's because ICO is a pretty rare game, that's why you can't find it anywhere... you'll probably have to get it Online if you ever want to buy it though, and most Used copies alone go for $30-40+ bucks and up

ICO came out in 2001, but when I bought ICO back in 2002, it took me AGES to find a copy... and believe it or not, even though I bought it in 2002, I couldn't even find a New copy in stores where I bought video games, and it took me several weeks before I finally tracked down a copy, and I was only able to track down a Used copy.

ReservoirDog3165319d ago

This is the only way you're finding it.

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html...

Haha and I'm in LA too.

The Great Melon5319d ago (Edited 5319d ago )

You should try a Fry's Electronics. I remember seeing that game for several years in that store without knowing the brilliance of the game. They couldn't get rid of the several copies they had. Didn't look into the game until after I finished Shadow of the Colossus. I really wish they used the Japanese or European cover art for the US, because more people would have bought the game including me right when it came out if it had a better cover art.

Rifle-Man5319d ago

I bought one off Ebay for about $60. It's in mint condition, though. Still, that's pretty pricey.

shadow27975319d ago

I saw it at my GameStop for $20, but didn't buy it. Seemed quite expensive at the time. Haha. Hopefully, I'll get lucky and there will be another one there soon.

mfwahwah5319d ago

I just checked Amazon.com

Ico new is from $115 to $999... Used from $33 to $80.

Shadow of the Colossus is only $20 new at the cheapest.

George Sears5320d ago

I wouldn't get it since I already got them both but this will be great for people who haven't played them before. They did re-release ICO for Europe near SotC release so it could be possible that they can re-release them near The Last Guardian's date just to garner more fans.

One of my fav devs.

Panthers5319d ago

Re-release with trophies and HD on bluray. I never played either of them so this would be great.

Cenobia5319d ago

I'd also like a "director's cut" or something like that for ICO. The EU version had a different ending (I think it was unlockable), and a secret weapon. I think it also had subtitle text for Yorda and the Queen (although that may have been in the US version as well, I don't remember).

Click Agree if you will play this game
Click Disagree if you are going to pass.

Ravage275319d ago

i never like this agree/disagree voting thingy, but i guess i'll make an exception THIS TIME :)

ICO and SoTC bundle PLEASE!!!

The Great Melon5319d ago

DISAGREE ?!?!?!?

Who did that?!

SCThor5319d ago

Maybe Omega4 or one of his multiples accounts.

mfwahwah5319d ago

Who disagreed?

Some poor, lost soul who hasn't purchased a PS3 yet and can't play this if it gets released. That's the only possibility I see, not including "LULZ DISAGREES ARE FUNNY!"

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.
