Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two of the greatest titles to ever grace a video game console. There has been great anticipation for the HD remakes scheduled to release later this year. We now have an idea of when we can see it showing up in store shelves.
"If the listing of an ICO / Shadow of the Colossus Collection on walmart.com earlier this week wasn't enough then the Swedish retailer Webhallen just tipped the tide with their recent listing. The release date indicated on the website is April 2011, this might be just a place holder.
They also posted a possibly mock-up box art of the game's HD collection. I sure enough would be very happy if this would be announced along with the Last Guardian later this week at Tokyo Game Show."
The table of contents for this week's issue of Weekly Famitsu has leaked onto the internet, ahead of this week's Tokyo Game Show in Japan. There are a few new games revealed by the leak: Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be for the PSP, a new title for the 360 and PS3 called Shadows of the DAMNED, and PS2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be seen again in some form on the PS3. New information is also available for the PS3's The Last Guardian and Ryu ga Gotoku of the End, the PSP's Tacti...
"Rumors have swirled over the past month that Sony would release a "Team Ico Collection," with HD versions of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus on one Blu-ray for the PlayStation 3. Now Sony has commented on the matter for the first time, and while that comment sadly isn't a flat-out confirmation, it does raise hope as Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida said they are "very aware" of the demand and interested in the prospect themselves.
"As soon as we released God of War in an HD colle..."
A lot of people were shocked by the announcement of a Shadow of The Colossus movie. Many thought it couldn't be done, others said it had a chance while most said that Hollywood would screw it up like other video game movies. Well here is some news that will put you hearts a ease, hopefully. Fumito Ueda will be involved in the project, he didn't go in details as to what he will do. But if its anything, lets hope he keeps everyone on check on how its supposed to be done.
Fumito Ueda took some time to answer some fans questions, and one very popular question was if ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus would get the same treatement as God of War. That is, a collectors edition for the PS3. He said he wants to see those two games on the PS3, and lately he has been thinking about it, but no word if it will happen. I guess if there is anytime to blog like crazy, then its now.
Media Molacule have released many DLC for other games, such as Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Now Team Ico is getting there own DLC. Spefically Shadow of The Colossus. The DLC will be released on June 11th

So we heard about this Shadow of Colossus movie coming up, and for the most part, gamers were hoping it was a joke or just a project that never takes off (Halo movie, anyone?). Well, based on this talk with Justin Marks, the SotC movie is in production... and WILL happen.
Marks, writer of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, talks about the "Colossus" project and the stigma most game-to-movie adaptions have. He seems to have a good feeling about this one and encourages gamers to keep t...
"One of the most cinematic games is now making it way towards cinemas. The Shadow of the Colossus video game is being developed by producer Kevin Misher (Fighting, Public Enemies, Case 39) at Columbia Pictures. Hollywood's new favorite fanboy writer, Justin Marks of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Voltron, and Masters of the Universe, has been hired to write the screenplay. The game, which first hit shelves in 2005, follows a character known as Wander, who along with his horse Agro, tra..."
The man behind Ico and Shadow of The Colossus, Fumito Ueda, was a special guest speaker at GDC today. He talked about about games made in the east vs. games made in the west. He also gave off hints at his new game, saying it will be more like Ico. Also, he said that he didn't feal the Shadow Of The Colossus was not the stepping stone of artistic games, and this new game will be.
Fumito Ueda, the creator behind Shadow Of The Colossus has been confirmed to be at GDC. But that doesn't mean we get to see Team Ico's new game, we might not even hear about it. But we still get to finally see it sometime this year, and what better time then E3. Team Ico has been confirmed to be present at the show and will show off their game.
In other news, God Of War 3 will be playable at E3 as well.
Finally! What every Team Ico fan has been waiting for. Fumito Ueda has been confirmed to give a press speech at Game Developer's Conference this year. In all hopes that every Ico and SotC fans will see Team Ico's new game. GDC is set for March 23-27. Nearly a month away and I'm already to excited!
Team ICO's project has been the highly anticipated but oddly silent title people have all been awaiting news on. And perhaps we will receive some tomorrow, as not only has the website been upgraded, but a community blog dedicated to the game say they have a surprise for tomorrow. They give two hints, A) that the info is a small thing, so don't expect a flood of info. And B) that some of this stuff we have seen already, some of it not. Expect more news soon.
"Sony worldwide studio head Shuhei Yoshida has given the clearest indication yet that the firm is ramping up to the announcement of Fumito Uedas next game, confirming to VG247 that the PS3 project will be shown soon.
I cannot tell, said the exec was asked specifically if the new Team ICO game will be shown at Tokyo Game Show this year.
But I can say that theyve been working very hard since the release of Shadow of the Colossus.
Soon youll see.
Go on. TGS. You know you wan..."
Team ICO are possible the most acclaimed developers for Sony, their work so good many gamers claim them as art, but there is a drawback to this, there games always take the longest and their latest project is no exception.
"Im not feeling any pressure at the moment because time is not critical yet" team leader Fumito Ueda stated. Basically there not rushing and that is definitely a good thing but god damn I want this game bad.
"This is one of those rumors that appear to be quite thin on the surface, but as we so desperately want some news, we're inclined to tell ya about it: according to SCRAWL, they say a "truly...colossal secret" would be part of the issue. Obviously, this makes everyone think they're hinting at a project that relates to the fantastic SotC; perhaps a sequel of some kind. Of course, Resistance 2 will be the centerpiece for the August GamePro (they call it the "biggest game of 2008"), but the intere..."
The Nordic Game 2008 conference is coming up, yeah nothing special right? Wrong, while the meeting is less game focused and more tech focused the conference will feature Fumito Ueda head of the ICO team to give a speech in the game creation and technology program, as well as Fumito the creator of Siren Hill Keiichiro Toyama will be attending along with Rock Band's Roby Kay and Ninja Theory co-founder, Tameem Antoniades. And who knows we may just hear something abut that new ICO game we've bee...
IGN takes the concept of Super Smash Brothers and makes a list of the top characters for a PlayStation version of a multi franchise cross-over. While this is supposed to be a bit of a parody, the "Sony Skills" actually sound like they would work if a game like this was ever made. If they went the extra mile to get specific with each character's moves, it would make a perfectly legitimate rip off.
Earlier today there was a news article aproved about a rumor that Team Ico was going to announce a game. With the website Teamicogamers.blog.com having a picture of a Colossi with the words "the Giants Are Coming" This quickly spread that they will anounce Team Ico's new game. Sorry to break the bad news for you but its just a primarily a feature in relation to SotC. Not a new game.
See what rumors do?
"There's a cryptic message over at Team ICO Gamers -- "The Giants are coming" with a tab in the upper-right of the website indicating only "February 10th". Does this have something to do with the next game by the developer? Or is it something much less exciting, like, say, a site redesign? They left it cryptic and vague, so we'll do the same by letting your imaginations run wild. Tomorrow we'll find out, we guess."
"Alex Rowe at TeamIcoGamers claims that a "heated IM discussion" concerning which of this generations major hardware players will emerge as the eventual gaming winner, recently led to some blurted information regarding the years upcoming software revelations on the PlayStation 3."
A 5 year old girl who is a huge fan of Shadow of The Colossus (SOTC) gets her mum to import her the Japanese SOTC soundtrack and the girl memorized every track and knows where each track is played and at what Colossi. She also had a cake for her Birthday to do with SOTC at her school and she sang in front of the teachers "Incy wincy spider climbed up the colossus' snout!"
This came from a letter written by the mother to the Official Playstation Magazine UK.
If you are a huge fan of ICO or Shadow Of The Colossus, you would know that Team Ico has been working on another game. Sadly we haven't heard anything new for months. Team Ico Gamers asked OPM if they knew anything about this game. They called up Sony and found out that the could be a sequel. But A sequel to witch game? Ico or Shadow Of the Colossus?
