First Team Ico Collection/new The Last Guardian scan

Check out the first scan of Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD from this week's Famitsu. The Last Guardian is also featured in the scan.

[Joule]

I have never played these games.

[LordMarius]

well now is your chance, lucky you

[Joule]

Go play Halo Reach

[LordMarius]

Todavia no me llega wey

[Bathyj]

I'd rather miss a Halo than miss these 2 gems.

You've played Halo 4 times already, it might be great, but its just more of the same.

You've never played these games before in any other guise, and dont tell me Ico is just a platformer and SotC is just Monster Hunter. These games are about atmosphere, setting, sentiment, the relationship with Yorda, the feeling of overcoming somthing insumountable.

In fact if you haven't played them, it cant be described adequetly, you just have to experience them for yourself. Like Morpheus said, I cant tell you what the Matrix is, I have to show you.

[number47]

seriously doubt Halo Die Hards would understand/enjoy ico's games...I mean look at Rising...

games aren't meant for everyone. Just glad they are meant for me :)

[DaTruth]

Wish I knew SotC was Ico2! I completely missed it. Haven't gone looking for it in hopes that this might happen and I could play Ico again.

Ico was such a beautiful game and I can't wait to see it remastered in 720p with AA!

[Trebius]

Getting this day 1.

[omni_atlas]

Actually, I think SoTC is ICO zero. Or the prelude to SoTC.

[SilentNegotiator]

Lucky me, also. Definitely picking up the collection and LG.

[WildArmed]

I never got a change to finish SoTC.. never played Ico.
So I'm VERY happy to see that it's coming! :D
Day 1 buy

[sikbeta]

Dream come true for those who wanted these 2 Masterpieces Remastered and a great opportunity for newcomers to play this Amazing Collection...

Team ICO = Masterpieces Creators

[fishd]

OHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!

[rockleex]

It wasn't just product placement either. The game plays a very important part in Adam Sandler's life, coping with his family losses from the 9/11 attack.

Proof that Shadow of the Colossus IS art!!! F-U Roger Ebert! <_<

You can read about how it all ties in to the movie here:

[Red_Orange_Juice]

:/

[SaberEdge]

I had a big smile on my face when it was leaked that this collection was coming. I absolutely love Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Very appreciated, Sony/Team Ico.

[house]

and spinning around in my chair im super happy these are games coming to the ps3,two of the best story's told by the world its self super beautiful and fun games

edit im just glad its real

and why did i get a disagree?

[Scary69]

Does it say when it will be released? Cant wait I played ICO but never got to finish it. Woohoo will be buying this one for sure.

[N4GAddict]

Those are the two of the best ps2 games

[Bathyj]

These would be in my top 10 on any platform.

I have little doubt TLG will be my personal GotY.

[Dacapn]

As bold a statement as that is, I'm more inclined to agree with you than not.

[moneygun2]

Of God it's real it's real!!! At least for all we know my Japanese is not really uhh up to par you could say. They could just be saying how fantastic the games are in some sort of nostalgia article, but we no that's not the case it's real ( fingers in the ears la la la la la I can't hear you) Either way some of the best games IMO that have ever been produced

Game to game not to flame

[Christopher]

If you like games, you should buy these and play them. They're worth it.

[doa766]

I love God of War but I didn't buy the collection but this is day one for me

[IcarusOne]

Both these games put GoW to shame. In fact, they put practically every game to shame. I could not be more excited about this collection.

[bjornbear]

well now's your chance =D

once you play games like SoTC or Ico you understand there's 2 types of awesome games:

- fun awsome games like (Halo...)
- fun marking experience games

difference is, one day you'll look back and think "yeah...Halo was fun =)"

...and then you'll think "but SoTC...wow...that was...wow...*start playing it again from the start*"

there's a clear difference ;)

[NabikiTendo]

sony bringing back ps2 classics in hd.i'm pretty sure this is gonna sell real good.

[N4GAddict]

I hope they do Wild Arms next

[TheLastGuardian]

They need to hurry up with them. 1 collection per year isn't enough. I hope they do Ratchet and Clank next.

[XANDEO]

I really want 3rd partys to get in on this, Square to do Final Fantasy 10, make my day that would.

[msbabie20034]

thought you ps3 fanboys didn't care about sells?

hmm funny huh?

i'll get this rather it sells or not.

[house]

who the hell brought up sells i keep looking your the only one that did sighs* i dont know why i bother (dont feed the troll a roll)

[NabikiTendo]

did i say any sales numbers or told about charts about how much the ico collection is gonna sell? no i did not. all i said was that I'm sure there's a fanbase out there for these games and it should sell pretty good. sales are an afterthought to me when i buy a game. the actual game comes first.I'm not a stockholder so it doesn't affect me. i care when a game that deserves good sales gets them but that's about it.

popular games =/= quality i always remember that.

[house]

dude the whole point is that fanboy make sales as if sales= a good game which is b.s shadow and ico sold poorly and guess what it was a good game (you on the other hand brought the whole fan boy wars in here about sales) there's nothing wrong with hoping it sells since it didn't sell well in the first place

again he didn't bring up the whole sales argument you did (owned)

[bustamove]

Why you weren't marked ad off-topic is beyond me because you tarted a fight for no apparent reason.

[Scary69]

I really wish they had a STFU when removing a bubble as an option..LMAO

[Elvfam511]

This is my first seeing you or NabikiTendo

I don't get how you called somebody a fanboy.....

[NabikiTendo]

you'll see those characters alot on n4g lol.

[KratosGirI]

SWEET!

[theEnemy]

just got real.

Day 1!

[Daver]

I'm getting this for sure.

[N4GAddict]

Day 1 for me.

[kumashii38]

nice !

[syrion]

finally, i can play this game again on my ps3.

[Charazani]

Enjoy.

[Elvfam511]

ahhh jizzz

[3nd3rth3]

It's the European version of Ico included in there. US version was sooooo gimped. Anyway, I have them both, well stole both copies from my brother, but now I can give it back to him and get me some HD goodness. Pre-ordering for sure when it becomes available.

[B-Real206]

I'm pretty stoked this is coming out. What were some of the differences between the US and the EU versions if you don't mind me asking?

[3nd3rth3]

Reportedly PAL and NTSCJ versions have improved AI, optional multiplayer mode(2nd person is Yorda), Yorda and Queen lines translated after first playthrough, optional film effect post-processing and additional secret weapon (lightsaber) after the first playthrough, more complex shadows, some locations/puzzles modifyied (waterfall)...

[NecrumSlavery]

really? A little online say HD remake can win a GOTY award? So awesome

[3nd3rth3]

I don't think online is an option. But the coop will mean that my gf will get to play instead of just watching it this time. =D

[Cenobia]

The co-op sounds like BS to me. I never heard of that. The translated lines and lightsaber I have seen.

Also there is a secret ending in the non US versions involving fruit (note to all, do not spoil the ending).

Also the box art was better.

[3nd3rth3]

Could be. I've only heard of all the extras from different forums. My version was the NA one... unfortunately

[B-Real206]

nice thanks guys for the update

[segamaniaco]

shadow of colossus is jesus

[N4GAddict]

So is ICO

[BannedForNineYears]

Hmph, Ico is more like the disciple of Shadow of the Colossus.

[Bloodraid]

Difference is that Shadow of the Colossus actually existed.

[BannedForNineYears]

Right, couldn't have a normal topic about gaming without someone bashing religion. v_v
I know I'm most likely the minority here, but spontaneously talking poorly of a topic as serious as religion will only end up offending someone.
I'm personally not offended, but I could understand someone else getting offended.

[All_4_One]

Unreal.

[Bathyj]

No need for that engine here pal.

[noporcru623]

boom im not good at online sarcasm so if you were sarcastic my bad

[All_4_One]

Yeah, I like my colossi non-shiny.

[NecrumSlavery]

Zing!!!!!!!

[N4GAddict]

I hope they include a Last Guardian demo with the collection

[Ares84PS3]

I love to see some games remastered like Tomb Raider 1-3, Crash Bandicoot 1-3. With new graphics and trophies those games would be awesome.

But this is great though. If someone missed these great games they get a chance to play them again in HD.

This makes everyone happy I think. Sony and us as well. I don't think it's that much work to remaster these games in HD nor is it as much money as developing a brand new game.

[TheLastGuardian]

Crash Bandicoot Collection(1-4) FTW!

[NecrumSlavery]

ODDWORLD Abe's story as one game w/ missing SligStorm, HD polish, Trophies extra trials challenges, maybe section navigation for easier mudokon hunting

[TheLastGuardian]

Team Ico might as well confirm this somehow. It's not going to be a big surprise at TGS.

[Hoje0308]

It is if there's a demo for TLG included ;)

[jay2]

That's great news, BUT it better not have delayed Gardian (not that we've had a releas date for that, but you know what I mean).

[DeathGazer]

I doubt Team ICO is working on the Collection.

Sony Santa Monica didn't do the GoW Collection, Bluepoint Studios did.

SuckerPunch isn't working on the Sly Collection either.

[Hoje0308]

Awesome! Hopefully they do Metal Gear next.

[DeathGazer]

They did it. They actually did it! :D

[nefertis]

day 1 buy for me.

[All_4_One]

By the way. Right side, upper half, bottom left picture = new The Last Guardian screen, or at least i`ve never seen it.

[Myze]

There are definitely some new TLG screens. The lighting is absolutely amazing, from what I can tell from the low quality scan. Can't wait for TGS (for TLG, hopefully, and FFvsXIII).

[The_Beast]

but beat sotc

[yewles1]

*tears of joy*

[rezzah]

My Ico game got scratched so I was never able to get past the first 15 mins. But now that this is coming out I will buy this. Besides SOTC is my fav game of all time. Nothing stands in its way, not DMC or Jak and Daxter (series).

[Bumpmapping]

Day 1 for sure!

[magus]

If you have played one of the two I forgive you. If you have played none you should be slapped with your mothers titty.

[house]

LMAO

[Scary69]

LMAO that was just epic Magus..hahaha

[stuntman_mike]

CRAZY FROG RACER IN HD...........? nnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo!

[Bathyj]

Anyone seen the Adam Sandler movie "Reign on Me."

Bit of a shameless plug by Sony Pictures, but hey, it made me dust off Shadow and play it again.

[Dellis]

I got Colossus, will sell it to get this and have ICO

[FungLip]

No more lag for SOTC WOOT!

[All_4_One]

SOTC pushed the PS2 to the absolute MAX. I`m pretty nervous about seeing TLG at TGS, my expectations are pretty damn high.

[Sigh]

cmon show us the gameplay... or let it be thursday already!!! Wanna see how it looks now running on ps3 hardware!

[GodHandDee]

Delivers!

NoW BeLiEvE!

[SSKILLZ]

SHADOW OF the COLOSUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frankymv]

The Last Guardian looks ridiculously amazing.

[l King I]

glad 2 have a ps3

[CrzyFooL]

wtb better pics, at least open the damn pages all the way!!

[N4BmpS]

God I this so bad (hmm that's what she said) with that out of the way, if this is coming out in April Yay more damage to my wallet.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Very excited for these. Cant wait for them to come out. Never played the originals and want to beat them before getting the last gaurdian.

[kaixxi]

bu bu reach

ohhh dvd ¬__¬

[slutface]

day 1 get!

[Mamajuana]

Guillermo Del Torro, director of Pans Labyrinth and Hellboy was quoted as saying Ico and SOTC are the only two games he considers art.

[NeloAnjelo]

This collection will sell well. I have no doubt. Maybe over time, even more than the original games. The PS 2 had so many big name games, that these niche, smaller titles were missed. The GOW Collection sold well, and those titles were played by most PS2 owners. These two will be completely new for most.

Wonder what will be next for these Collections?

[Ravage27]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! :)

[mushroomwig]

^_^ a great start to my day.

[maverick40]

It's just ridiculous....gamers my arse.

[Ingram]

just glad of being alive.

[FreddySavage]

You are real after all

[mayberry]

Played both alot- sotc about 8 times! ICO- 3 times!
I was given sotc as a gift, put it in and played as much as I could till I finished it. After the first playthrough I knew the game would be in my permanent collection!
