New TRICO project details

Nick @ PS3Center writes:

"Last week, PlayStation LifeStyle shocked the world by leaking an early trailer of the third game to take place in the ICO universe, codenamed TRICO. The video shot up the ranks, it was the most viewed video on YouTube the day it launched, and has placed in the top 5 for the most viewed this week. We've done some digging about the game and come up with some new intel."

[gauntletpython]

I wonder what scenes were featured in the full video. Also, wonder if Sev edited the video, or if he got it like that?

[SevWolf]

I hope sev replies to your comment some time soon, cause I wanna know if he edited, cause then we might actually get to see the full thing, didnt Ueda confirm he was showing his game in E3???
Well anyway I know that whenI saw the vid, Im not gonna lie it wasnt the best graphics Ive seen, but it was much much higher than decent/mediocre graphics, and I really liked the scenery, I love the fact that this was ONLY a tech demo, and the vid being released near E3 was JUST coincidental, wow I got pretty hyped, come on 7 MORE DAAAYS!!!!!!!

[shadowfox]

can't freakin wait for this game. i seriously hope it comes out soon, and we see more @ e3

[SolidAhmed]

however, i am not sure weather their information correct due to the fact that there are a lot of things missing in the video such as why the beast wounded? why he is unleashed? why he came to the boy? and much more ....

so still there are mysteries behind the story and i do not think it is a part of a technical trial!

but what the hell E3 is on the way anyways :)

[Kain81]

Hope i wrote that word right^^

[Gue1]

You're kinda exaggerating a bit... I know the game's from team ICO but they didn't present anything that Disney haven't done yet. A boy showing love to his new pet that then is it attacked because it is different/dangerous? That's cliched.

We have seen this story thousands of time already.

[bunbun777]

oh sorry if you two are bros or something-- but this "we" stuff and Disney stuff-- gtfo

All I can say is my eyes watered up first time i saw the trailer-- whether its the symbols, the memory of the last games, the scene itself or some sort of enchantment, to disagree with someones comment and to try to get everyone else to accept your cliched trite explanation for this video....

well that is sad, you are teh lame-

WE have seen just a taste~

[CSM-101e]

you're an idiot. Van Gogh painted flowers. lots of flowers. to the point of cliche. but he did it with passion, and it was absolutely exquisite. millions of people have played guitar; making it common. unless you happened to be a lanky black dude from Seattle named Jimi.

And, last but not least, i've had my fair share of ass, but my old lady's is the best

[danthegardner]

Yes CSM-101e that was well put. Bravo!!

[ssipmraw]

as a film it may have been done by disney (and also be quite cliched), but even disney have yet to pull the same idea into a game. i dont think any game has attempted something like this the previous generation probably couldnt handle the ai.

if anything this game is going to definately be something special.

[Honky Kong]

i will plunk down and buy a ps3 when this is released. been waiting for a while now...

[batman2million]

two years ago?!?! and it looked THAT good?! I can't even imagine how awesome the full game is gonna look!!

[pippoppow]

Honestly if the game ships the way it looks in the trailers then great. The art style and atmosphere it generates is amazing. Not all games have to be technically a 10 in graphics to be considered a great looking game. Playing Demon's Souls right now which looks great, not technically but artistically and fits the mood of the game amazingly well. "TRICO" will be another great game from a Dev synonymous with quality.

[swiftshot93]

This article actually sounds very accurate.

[boss_killa]

i dont think ps3 owners will mind if it get's pushed back to 2010. as long as we get an epic game like ico and SOTC, we'll all be happy.

fall 2009 is already too packed with solid titles for ps3.

[Panipal2005]

This needs to come out by Christmas in at least one territory. Hopefully Asia at least (with eng. text) so that I can get it from Yesasia.

[Panipal2005]

Oh look, disagree fairies at the bottom of the garden.

[eagle21]

I'm in luv with this game already. Go Team ICO! :)

[xabmol]

I can't wait to play TRICO this year!!

The Olympic Team strikes again!!

[abi980]

all it takes is one or two screen shots and PS3 people start with their oohhh ahhh best game ever!Just wait until the game comes out and then let it flop... cough (KZ2)

[pippoppow]

GO play your halo.

[SevWolf]

Do you feel better now, can u go to sleep now????Did the insecurity go away??? Did the BIG BAD MAN who was gonna turn u into a real gamer and not a hater go????
Seriously WTF, dude come on wat was that for, I mean forget wat console its on it still looks like it is building up to be a great game, just like Mass effect 2, hmmmm wats that I mentioned a 360 exclusive without bashing it, instead I praised it, woooow I must be out of YOUR world to be able to do something as amazing as that

[Seraphemz]

Hes just mad that 360 on has two good games Halo and Gears.

How many screens to did it take for 360 owners to hype up Alan Wake?

[Jaces]

*cough* (Too Human)

edit: Forgot to mention that team ico's games have been nothing short of spectacular and breathtaking. Oh ye fanboy of little intellect.

[SaberEdge]

How about both Halo 3 and Killzone 2 are awesome games?

I bet a lot of fanboys on both sides won't agree with that, even though it is true.

[Rockstar]

How did KZ2 flop again?

I must have missed the part where it flopped.

It sold and scored quite well.

I guess a game has to sell 9 million units before it's not a flop according to this bag of douche.

I guess 99 percent of games are flops nowadays.

[StephanieBBB]

"all it takes is one or two screen shots and PS3 people start with their oohhh ahhh best game ever!"

Yeah because most of us are still true gamers :P Your clearly not.

[Bathyj]

It just burns you up doesn't it?

We've got a dozen awesome games to look forward to, and you've got another Halo spin off and then XB720 to look forward to.

You see people in here just talking about game they want and a dev they love and you cant stand it because it has nothing to do with you.

Don't be too jealous man, your childlike mentality wouldn't appreciate this game anyway, so really as far as you know you're not missing that much.

For those in the know but, with an emotion age beyond puberty this will likely be a defining game in this generation, just like Ico and SotC were, and still stand up today.

Hate all you like, its your loss.

@Steph
At least when we get excited over a screen shot its a PS3 screen shot, not a 1600x1400 PC screen like Alan Wake which the XB will never match. I mean, they've been going on for years over AW and Splinter Cell and they've seen nothing running on XB hardware. At least Trico has a trailer, an old one at that, and we're all happy with what we've seen. For some reason that just upsets people like this.

[Narutone66]

trying to compress the AW game to fit into one DVD disc. That's why it's taking so long.
@8
The open zone is ------------------>
The 360 is over the hill at this point in this generation. Time for the 720 if MS decide to stay in the game. The 360 is still competing with PS2 and loosing.

[Timesplitter14]

You wish you could join the fun and have games like that on your console, eh abi980?

[ssipmraw]

no offense but x-box 360 has no games like this, so we have every right to be excited for this game

[McLuvn]

Nothing better than notorious perfectionism FTW.

[Seraphemz]

I cant wait for this game to come out.

Arent they actually working on two games for the PS3?? Team Ico

[SaberEdge]

All right guys, I prefer my 360 but anybody that doesn't love Team Ico games doesn't know what a good game is.

[raztad]

That is a bit tricky to explain cause tastes are tates, but it is like good piece of music or like an awesome movie. In the former case even if you only like Rock or latin music you should be able to understand what means a Bethoven, if you arent you should shut up cause you will sound stupid. In the second case, you may like action Hollywood movie but then you have Stanley Kubrick's classics productions, it doesnt matter if you dont like them, they are classics.

Team Ico's games are just classics. You can enjoy your regular shooter but if you want something else, go and play SotC.

[ssipmraw]

SOTC is a game like no other, just looking at the fur on the colossus was awe inspiring.

[kazan]

man the music in the video is something :)

[pwnsause]

could this be the footage that the BBC guy saw?

[Freak of Nature]

No Darren Waters the BBC reporter saw a totally different game. He saw something last year. This ICO footage was from back in about November 07'....It has already been confirmed that the BBC game was not heavy rain or the TEAM ICO game...

The BBC game will mostly likely come from either Sony London or Liverpool studios...

[cayal]

And everyone knew this was coming.

[astrotriforce]

Personally I can't wait for this game. And wait to see more of it. hopefully they reveal more at E3 cause the old video was definitely amazing to me.

[gumgum99]

shadow of the colossus is epic.

I have only beaten about 6 bosses so far, as I've only had the game for a few months, but I really wish there were more bosses to choose from.

[danthegardner]

You got more bosses to go, just count the statues in the temple.

[Timesplitter14]

You've had the game for months and you've only beaten 6 bosses?

[Nikuma]

Dude finish the game...it is seriously amazing.

[ChickeyCantor]

My first run was 10 hours.
Second run was 5 hours.

Wished they had done more with the game. The bosses are awesome, but they aren't hard either.

[SpoonyRedMage]

I finished the game in about four hours first go and most of that time was spent on Agro getting from place to place. My complaint about the game really, way too short.

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Everyone is trying to call the graphics of this game out, and while they may have lacked polish, they more then well made up for that in detail, especially considering this is essentially a 2yr old tech demo.

What stuck out to me was the textures, the stone ruins look so vivid, and the plant life/mountain ranges are beautiful. You can see hundreds of hairs on the back of the Griffin and they all seem to be moving independently. If the game looks this good at such an early stage of conception I can only imagine how awesome it will look at E3.

[clevernickname]

"One of the possible control schemes of the game supposedly involves using the Sixaxis to control the beast and the joysticks to control the player character, so simultaneous control was possible."

I seriously hope not. Sixaxis controls are almost always lessons in controller smashing frustration.

[shadowfox]

Never played Flower, have ya?

[clevernickname]

Nope, never played "Flower". That said, I try to have an open mind about motion controls considering that they DID work quite well in "Warhawk", but sadly no game I've played with motion controls since then has worked (I especially despised the frustrating and unnecessary motion based grenade throwing mechanic in "Drake's Fortune").

[Blackcanary]

i still remember the feeling i got playing ico when i free the girl that u had to save i really can't wait to get that feeling again.

[ONYX737]

This is actually the first time I have seen this video and I can't wait for this game.

[Ninjamonkey]

Looking forward to this

and about using sixaxis. After the update didnt they get using sixaxis to workwith lair? But by then its rep was too damaged to get sales or something

But it is possible. Its not easy but Ive been able to play warhawk using sixaxis. It just takes practise.

[OmegaSlayer]

The dork thing about Sixaxxis is that you can't adjust it for each game.
This is the real fail of sixaxxis, the fact that you can't adjust its sensibility like you do with the x and y axxises in every FPS

[Run_bare]

Take your time Fumito Ueda.. don't rush things. No matter how much i wanted to play this game now, i rather you complete your vision on it's entirety.

But please don't take too long :) hahaha. This looks fantastic like ICO and SOTC.

[H0rned]

Cant wait!

[123456789]

thats crazy

[mastemikegee]

...i decided i wanted to make sure how to pronounce 'Ico' (Iko/_i:ko) and so i went to Wikipedia. while i was there i thought i'd see what was written in case i missed anything and that's when i found out about 'Project Trico'.

It's amazing that this info just came recently. It was all just a coincidence for me. Wikipedia really is good though.
