Shadow of the Colussus 2

Here it is...the official footage of Shadow of the Colossus 2!

Note the amazing rag-doll physics and the impressive attention to detail in the animation. I expected nothing less from Team ICO. Enjoy.



When you've stopped crying from the hilariousness of it all, remember that there clearly is a huge following for SotC, and that videos such as these are made by fans expressing their desire to see a sequel, to what must be one of the greatest games of all time.

Nico - SotC Beta

Test reel for the proposed SotC on the PS2. Even at this stage the game showed great potential. I think Team ICO wanted the game to be multi-player, but I prefer the loneliness the final game portrays. It makes the experience much more personal and grants the feeling of freedom, yet constraint to complete the colossus task at hand.

Ico - The Beginning

This is the introduction to Ico. It's worth noting that, although the amount of spoken language is minimal, a great sense of mood and meaning is gained simply from the imagery. This is an art which not many developers adopt these days relying instead on hammy dialogue and/or scrolling text.

Truly an iconic introduction to a game and an indication that you're about to play something quite different from anything else.

Shadow for a Requirem

Darren Aronofsky's; Requiem for a Dream is truly one of the most disrurbing movies I have seen in recent memory. The soundtrack to this remarkable film goes a long way to ensuring that the viewer experiences the emotions the on-screen characters endure, and this emotional state is felt every subsequent time the music is heard. If you havn't seen this movie, it is highly recommended.

The Last Guardian Official Site Launched

Sony has finally launched the official (Japanese) site for The Last Guardian. In addition to this a flurry of screenshots have been released as well as an interview (see below) with Team ICO on their developement of their latest creation.



Watching the subbed interview it's clear that a great deal of thought is going into the game. The devil is definately in the details in The Last Guardian. There is also a short trailer at the end of the interview which is also worth the wait.

Ico and the Little Big Planet

If you haven't played Little Big Planet on the Playstation3 then you really are missing out. The game consists of a building set where you can literally create any kind of level you want and share them with the rest of the world. It's also 2 player and is a real laugh, a lot of fun indeed.

Here we have pretty much the entire Ico game faithfully reproduced. The designer Mushroom_Samba has been very clever to get all the game in there. I've posted it because I'm really impressed with this and I hope you find it amusing too. Enjoy.

Ico - Prototype PS1

This video shows development prototype for Ico, which was initially destined for the Playstation1. I for one believe that Ico should've been released for Sony's debut console as it would've given Team ICOs' games great symmetry, like the way every generation has a Kubrick movie, every one of Sony's consoles would have a Team ICO game. And I'm sure that the impact of the game would've been more profound as the visuals haven't lost much of their fidelity which is some achievement. I don't mind though, I'm just glad Ico was released and I'm eternally grateful for that.
