any news on ICO 3?

corcaigh07 · 08-01-2009 2:31am #1

the day the next game from Team Ico is the day i buy a PS3(or shenmue 3 but thats unlikely!), ico and shadow of the colossus were stunning pieces of art and i cant imagine what they will do with the PS3 hardware.

dont know which way they'll go with it, will they do a game thats vaguely similar to both ico and shadow of the colossus(eg-

something to do with the boy with the horns, is the baby at the end of shadow of the colossus the same kid as ico?

) or maybe something completely different?

I remember reading an article, I think it was in an Official PS Mag issue, that had an interview with the creator Fumito Ueda. It mentioned possibilities for the new game. One was

that it would be based around cats!

. I have also heard that it will involve

the use of contact, like holding hands or holding onto something

Good question. I think they are in the early stages of development for their new game. Its probably a year at least before any details surface, maybe we might see a release in 2010?

I bought a PS3 because i know its coming at some stage.

I think that rumour originates from when Fumito Ueda was on the Mainichi Issho 2nd Anniversary show when Toro and Kuro were asking him questions about the game and he joked that cats would be important because Toro and Kuro are cats.

I'm hoping we'll get some kind of an announcement about this game this year. I'm lucky I guess in that I haven't even finished Ico yet

I really have to find a copy of Shadow of the Colossus.

I read somewhere it's going by the working title of TRICO.

I got a copy on ebay a while back and completed it a few weeks ago. It really is a must play game. It's class and is the type of game you would go back to and play again.

Check ebay my friend.

As expected, there is almost zero info doing the rounds about Team ICO's next game, but there was very tenuous quote from one of the development team about the possibility of exploring a world through use of caverns, canyons etc using a sort-of "hang-gliding" mechanic as a travel method..
Pinch of salt at best, and may have no substance to it, and it was at least a year ago so with nothing else to back it up, it may mean very little..

Not long after, a couple of pics showed up on Team ICO's website..........with no other information

Whether any of this was accurate or not, is up in the air.............Best just to wait and see what they come up with..

That was an elaborate hoax, someone posted up pics of a game in the style of SotC with an ICO type character in a hanglider in a canyon. Was found to be a hoax. Hopefully this years TGS or E3 will throw up something but Uedas team take a long time to make there games so it could be nearly 2011 before we see anything.

Yep,
don't remember any pictures or anything, just the tenuous quote relating to a "gliding" element which couldn't be verified..

Sure even at that stage (a year back), initial planning would only be going into place which is why the first supposed "screenshot" shouldn't be taken as anything more than what it is............a rendered image on the developer's website with no info to back up what it is etc..

Like I said, best just to wait and see what they come up with.........Big shoes to fill and all that..

really, Shadow of the Colossus was originally named NICO so maybe a working title of TRICO may suggest a game similiar in style to Ico and Sotc.

Quote from PSM3 magazine [possible spoilers?]:

Two and a half years of gameplay in...

Ico 3

"It may use the same theme of hold, and perform an action' from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus," suggests Producer Fumito Ueda about Ico 3 (name TBC). Our only other clue is a teaser image [the first one above] from a Sony recruitment website, sparking a 'Fenrir' rumour about a giant wolf chained underground in Norse myth (the shadow in the top right of the image?). Expect details in early 2009.
