We don't need to slap you.

As far as we know it's called ICO3.

And it won't be a thign liek ICO or Shadow of the Colossus, and this article is just gettign everyone's hopes up, I read the extensive interview from the Nordic Games Conference like the week after it happened (this is old now) and there is nothing he is giving away, I think they asked him directly, IIRC.

EDIT I know Issun34, he's called WanderIssun though. :D

All we know is they are working on a PS3 game rumored to be titled "Last Canyon"?

And we have seen only one real screenshot, showing a chain connected to a mysterious hole or underground....

they may have plans for this as well, it's just a rumor....an exciting one!

we're not psychics. stop hyping the game before we even have any clear news on it.

yes the ICO team is genius, but so is free radical and looked at what happened with Haze b/c of hype.

don't screw it up for yourselves.

don't confuse this with me dissing the ICO team either. i personally hold SotC as one of my top 10 games of all times. i LOVED their games and hold them in a high regard, but don't do this guys. it's dumb.

A while back (beginning of the year I think) when I was searching for info on Siren 3 before they announced New Translation, I read from Team Ico Gamers about the info that Sony has like 10 secret projects and Siren was one of them.
Along side that was Team Ico working on 2 games for Sony.

Atleast one is confirmed by Famitsu, anybody here got inside source of the other game they are working on? Or at least confirm they are working on 2 games?

@Eagle21 : Last canyon was bull, and also the rumour that it was based on Nordic mythologies was bull (a suggestion in a community I was part of suggested it, and it was taken out of context). But we have seen one screenshot, that's correct.

@Hack6464 : It's real, but only listen to what Fumito Ueda says. He's not confirming anything really, about it being a mixture, and I sure as hell bet it will be something fresh and new again.

@v1c1ous : Speak for yourself, and don't tell people what to do. We can get hyped, because this developer is different. We won't be expecting more, because what we receive will be new, we won't have expectations, it's not a sequel per se. And also, Team ICO follows rules, and has passion to create and execute a game professionally. Free Radical struck lucky with TimeSplitters, and as soon as they try something serious, it fell flat on it's face, and it clearly wasn't executed with passion.

Dir_en_grey : There are 2 projects (that's confirmed), one is suspected to be a PSN project, and if not then the team is way too small to be working on two big budget titles at once so one will be purely conceptual.

....and so much more, the sheer mystery of what you were doing and how it built up to the climax (and anti climax for that matter) was pure brilliance.

the game itself in a way was simple in essence. but putting the whole thing together just made me feel so absorbed in what i was doing, and i believed in the cause. thats what is missing in this generation of gaming we're in.

hopefully team ICO can bring this back!

p.s. best horse animations iv ever seen.

NO_PUDding - 544 days 14 hours ago

It was totally simple. Ueda never wanted to embellish it.

It's gotta be the future for games. It's less narrative heavy, and more playable or objective, becuase it has the objective laid out for you at the start, and you can play it all in one sitting if you know how. But it's still got meaning.

Clever stuff.

Indeed, best horse animations, but also best horse controls. Most realistic, and really give you a sense of a horse, rather than a car.

Cool those are two games I really should have played. I Only got to play up to the first boss in SotC. Those two, God of War 2, and Okami are the only last gen games I still need to play.

SotC is a prequel to ICO.

*SPOILER*

When you beat SotC the horned child from ICO is born and then in ICO the horned child has to help the princess (from SotC) escape.

*SPOILER*

Actually, I don't think it's the same child.
In ICO it sounded like there had been many horned children born in the past.
I think Shadow of the Colossus was a long time before the events of ICO.

lodossrage - 544 days 16 hours ago

See when you guys refer to the horns on both of the lead characters of the games. At the end of SOTC, when the main character is reborn, he is BORN with the horns.

The main character of ICO only has the horns as head wear. In short, you can't use the fact that both characters have horns as a basis of the two games being connected.

said that while the 2 games share a specific similarity, they are more spiritual cousins rather than the same universe.

@vicious: Yeah, I remember reading that somewhere that's why I was confused by this article stating SotC was a prequel.

Adamalicious - 544 days 15 hours ago

I think if you've actually played both of the games the connection between the two seems pretty obvious. There is a society that banished boys born with horns to a castle - and yes Ico was born with horns, they are not just a hat - because the horns are believed to be an ill omen or a curse. Now, where could they have gotten the idea that babies being born with horns are cursed? Maybe from the boy (Wander from SoTC) who went into the forbidden kingdom and released Dormin (pretty much The Devil) from his prison, destroying himself in the process only to be reborn as the first horned child. Fact: Fumito Ueda said that both games take place in the same world and that Wander sired the line of horned boys. There is abosolutely no question that SoTC is the prequel to Ico.

Things have gotten a little foggy. I guess I'm off the replay both games but this time SotC first then ICO.

NO_PUDding - 544 days 14 hours ago

Lot's of incorrect facts beign given here. Lucky I am a knowitall.

SotC WAS a prequel,a nd was set in the same universe. Ueda left it to be vague at the beginning, but then wanted to reveal that they were indeed the same universe.

Wander in SotC started the line of horned boys. Many assumptions are made about the story though, so you have to play it and make your own judgement or stay impartial like me.

But ICO came an unspecified time after SotC, maybe short enoguh, so that the Queen in ICO was actually Mono from Shadow of the Colossus, or maybe there is a lot more that we don't know, and which I doubt we will be told in ICO3.

I think Ueda will never tell us that part, I don't even think he's definate.

Its sales figures prove that. Plus it got numerous Game of the Year awards. I loved how the game was just a string of increasingly epic boss battles.

I hope so too. Maybe at least a trailer. I think we can expect a few things - it's in the same universe as Ico and SoTC, it has a made up language, and it's awesome.

It's not fake, Fumito Ueda did say that, and he is the mastermind behind ICO and SotC, but he also sidestepped most questions about a sequel, which IS confirmed.

It was confirmed in a Famitsu last year.
