(This article is about the limited edition of ICO, not the game itself)
ICO was released in Europe in 2002, in this special paper box that comes with four art cards. It was re-released in 2006 in a normal PlayStation 2 case, and in 2011 on the PlayStation 3 as part of the HD Collection.
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.
Because the approval system is fundamentally flawed. The amount shouldn't decrease for approval over time, nobody should be able to have more than one vote, and pending content should be more visible so those measures don't feel necessary to push through less immediately popular pieces.
The number of ways this system can be intentionally or accidentally abused so crap like this can get through has been ridiculous for ages now.
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! "
I think that's just a factor of time. Most movies from the 80s/90s that are great are like that with me as well. They're still great, just been so much between now and then that you can't keep it all at the forefront of your mind.
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
Agreed. Some heroes put on their pants one leg at a time like the rest of us. Thank you.
I remember and know all the game exceot War of the Monsters...
But maybe my name is "no one"
Last time I checked (a year ago) War of the Monsters was available to buy as a ps2 classic on the ps store. Know I've still got my disc copy and fairly sure it's in my digital library
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 "had" a copy, it wasnt mine, it belonged to my friend, he loaned it to me ages ago because I never played it, but the analog sticks on my old skool PS2 controller where far to too stiff, so I gave it back, it did look really cool, the art cards etc
Ill let him know later that it might be worth summin, not that it would matter, he probably all ready knows........which would make this comment pointless
I've still got mine :)
Yep have this one and the Shadow Of The Collosus one which also came with art cards. Not worth as much these days but still great little items to have in your collection.
