Rumor: Team ICO project explores The Last Canyon
Though we haven't been able to obtain a copy and confirm, the latest issue of Game Informer is rumored to have a feature piece on Shadow of the Colossus developer Team Ico's latest PS3 title. The game, reportedly called The Last Canyon, will have you exploring a desert similar to Death Valley, searching for "something" (that part not revealed yet).
The protagonist's method of transportation will consist of a simple, non-motorized glider that you can mount and dismount. From the alleged excerpt: "From what we've seen there's never before been that feeling of flying around in the sky, combined with this scale of environment."
Clever rumor or legitimate clipping? We won't know until the next GI hits newsstands.
Update: The original source of the rumor doesn't lend it much credibility. We'll just go back to begging Ueda to hurry up then.

Can they pack in SOTC and ICO as well?
I guess Orange Box spoiled me...

Team Ico doesn't do boring, however. I'm sure there will be some cool stuff to dodge or bomb or whatever.

Sorry, Sony fanboys. You know it's true.

It still amazes me how great those two games are, so I find it hard to imagine they'll mess this up.
Nothing like camaraderie with a girl and a horse to make a good game. Perhaps they'll add a midget in there too this time.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ico, even despite the lower-than-average (even at the time) framerate. But then Shadow of the Colossus came along and took it to a whole new level. No exaggeration: I hadn't seen a framerate that bad since back in the mid-nineties when the trendy thing was to do [crappy] 3D just for 3D's sake (and yes, I play a lot of games).
Besides, if your only complaint about a game is something as frivolous as frame rate, you're just getting ri-goddamn-diculous.
Don't make me out to be a framerate whore: As I *thought* I already stated, I don't give a crap if a game's framerate is anywhere from 30 to 100+. Anything above about 25 (sustained, not peak) is perfectly playable. But the further you drop below that the more it affects playability. Any game programmer worth their salt will tell you this.
Additionally, why is it ridiculous to have exactly one complaint about a game? How many complaints do I have to have against a game before I'm allowed to stop pretending the game is flawless and could not be improved upon, and how big do those additional drawbacks have to be? Did I say "Shadow of the Colossus sucks because it has a bad framerate?" No, I did not. I just said that it had a bad framerate and made a (admittedly sarcastic) comment that I hoped their next game would fix that.
