Yoshida tells the site that plans for the Tokyo Game Show have not been finalized -- presumably, the show would be the last major opportunity this year to reveal the project. It's about time this game made its public appearance, don't you think?

Yes, I do think.
riggs @ Aug 28th 2008 1:08PM
if they only just updated both games, i would be overjoyed. im glad theyre coming out with a new IP, now i want to play SOC again :(
MasterCKO @ Aug 28th 2008 2:47PM
actually, I think that I will play SotC again. I love that game so much.

I'm hoping for a game where we are the Colossus and get to beat down all those pesky hero types.
BananaBoat @ Aug 28th 2008 2:05PM
Agreed. I want "Shadow of the Colossus 2: Revenge on the humans"
Had I been able to drink when that game came out, I probably would have cried like a little baby. All those nice friendly colossi...murdered... ;_; (Yes, I know, men are allowed to cry without liquor...but...nay sir. Nay)
Duke @ Aug 28th 2008 2:16PM
The game just typified the continued Colossus rights abuses that humans are known for. Someone needs to stand up for the gigantic victims of the world.

Duh.

Um. No shit?

In other news, scientists believe that water may in fact be wet.
Hyams @ Aug 28th 2008 5:15PM
Team ICO are a part of Sony, so of course it's gonna be a PS3 exclusive. =)
Maverick Saturn @ Aug 28th 2008 1:15PM
Yay! Soon better BE 'SOON', I'll burst with anticipation at this rate.
Edge @ Aug 28th 2008 1:16PM
All I really want is a remake of Shadow. The game was pure distilled art, but the graphics were downright muddy and the framerate left something to be desired.
Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Aug 28th 2008 1:27PM
Team ICO is actually working on two PS3 projects- current speculation is that one is this new IP and the other is an updated, multiplayer Colossus game (which was hinted at in development footage of the original with multiple horse-riders attacking a Colossus).
Raikage (GOLDEN Gun Of The Patriots) @ Aug 28th 2008 1:32PM
I agree, it, and ICO for that matter, need a remake. SOTC especially were held way back by the weaksauce PS2.
Heck while we're on the topic... Remake Advent Rising, It's my favorite bad game of all time. I played it a few weeks ago, jeez the frame rate is bad, it drops in the teens like every 2 minutes :\
bounchfx @ Aug 28th 2008 1:53PM
"and the other is an updated, multiplayer Colossus game "
this would be the best game ever. EVER.
Dirty @ Aug 28th 2008 2:24PM
Advent rising!? Really. I guess Tommy Tallarico would be happy,
343 Guilty Fart @ Aug 28th 2008 5:07PM
I just went out and picked this game up at lunch.
Stupidiot @ Aug 28th 2008 1:15PM
DO WANT!
I'm also waiting for a public appearance of the next Getaway game, if it's still in development.
I haven't had an excuse to use the family PS3 since my parents bought it (God knows why, we don't even have an HDTV), since all the third party games go to the 360.
Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Aug 28th 2008 1:27PM
The Getaway was canceled. The team is working on that PS Eye pet thinger.
sicsided @ Aug 28th 2008 1:34PM
The Getaway game was canceled a few months back, and the dev team is helping create EyePet
j.howlett @ Aug 28th 2008 1:17PM
i can't wait to see it. now i'm all excited and i was just about to take down
FOXHOUND @ Aug 28th 2008 1:32PM
I know they're not *known* for doing this, but I'd love to see a remake/collectors set of the earlier games - plus this apparently new title set for release.
syrik zero @ Aug 28th 2008 1:34PM
When is the Tokyo Game Show?
AlterEgo @ Aug 28th 2008 2:41PM
Oct 9-12
Dave @ Aug 28th 2008 1:35PM
JUST RELEASE HD VERSIONS OF ICO AND SHADOW. THANKS.
Seriously, that's all we need right now. Hell, slap them both on one blu-ray. I'd pay $60 for that.
riggs @ Aug 28th 2008 1:51PM
id pay for a ps3 for that tbh.
bounchfx @ Aug 28th 2008 1:54PM
as nice as that would be... think about it. wouldn't you rather have another game of the same calibur as ico/sotc, only with amazing hd graphics, and probably better than both?

That one screenshot reminded me how beautiful SOTC was...
Raikage (GOLDEN Gun Of The Patriots) @ Aug 28th 2008 2:00PM
Too bad it didn't move much faster than that picture :P
(Occasionally)
But still one of the only reasons I have a PS2 :D
Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Aug 28th 2008 6:25PM
Considering how the Fur was done (aka, and eight layer polygonal shell with a large amount of alpha), I'm suprised they could get it working on PS2 at all. It did create a gorgeous effect though and one which I directly stole for when I have to do signs at work...
colinbell @ Aug 28th 2008 1:56PM
I dont see why SOTC is so popular, isnt it so grey and brown? It would have been a better game if only they had added some pink and purple dragons.
Duke @ Aug 28th 2008 2:17PM
Did you play it? It was pretty amazing looking for a PS2 game. The colossus design was great.
Vcize @ Aug 28th 2008 2:58PM
i c wut u did there
Pointz @ Aug 28th 2008 5:00PM
So only colorful games are good? Well cancel almost every realistic game on PS360, only Viva Pinata is awesome.
BananaBoat @ Aug 28th 2008 2:06PM
Team Ico could make "You're my bitch: The game" and I would gladly accept it into my warm embrace.
Please show us a trailer already! Even a teaser trailerrrrrr.
Vcize @ Aug 28th 2008 2:59PM
Well that would clearly be a Wii game, and this is coming out for the PS3, so I wouldn't count on it.
beanman101283 @ Aug 28th 2008 2:27PM
I will buy a PS3 for this game
Alzheimers @ Aug 28th 2008 2:45PM
*seconded*
Ranus Studios @ Aug 28th 2008 2:31PM
Glee!
This (or even a remake of SotC- hell, ESPECIALLY a remake) would certainly be the first PS3 game I bought. You know, after having had the thing since last year.
AlterEgo @ Aug 28th 2008 2:40PM
Seems like you've made a stupid purchase.
But who am I to talk...I haven't bought a game for my Wii YET and I've had it since March 06. ;_;
AlterEgo @ Aug 28th 2008 2:40PM
07*
Hyams @ Aug 28th 2008 5:19PM
Do you two enjoy wasting money?
chispito @ Aug 28th 2008 3:03PM
Okay so can I even get a PS3 anymore that will run PS2 games? Suppose I wanted to get one and only use it for Team Ico games... could I?
Well Team Ico games and LBP.
FemaleOrca @ Aug 28th 2008 4:18PM
I got a Motorstorm 80GB on craiglist a few months back for the team ICO games and MGS4 (and now thankfully a few more coming down the pipe).
Depending on if the seller knows BD PS3s are no longer sold you can get one on the cheap.
SharpShooter @ Aug 28th 2008 4:20PM

Get it off eBay. I just skimmed the list and many of them are below $450 and include free shipping. That's a much better deal then the current PS3s.
FemaleOrca @ Aug 28th 2008 4:19PM
*BC PS3s
Eh @ Aug 28th 2008 4:11PM
Why do so many people want a remake of the old games INSTEAD of an entirely new and better game? They arent Square, there is no fear that the next game is going to be crap compared to their old games. They will come out with a new innovative game and it will blow minds. Im sure people will forget all about SotC when they show the first teaser trailer.
Duke @ Aug 28th 2008 6:15PM
Its not a matter of instead, its just a matter of SOTC being so great that we would love an HD release of it.
Boffo the Sock @ Aug 28th 2008 4:46PM
No, I don't think, and I'm proud to admit it. It gets in the way of my cat-like reflexes.
