Ico, Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection Rumored for Q1, 2011
Anyone who's ever played Ico or Shadow of the Colossus is usually left with high praise, but unfortunately for those who never played them, they can be pretty tough to come by these days (particularly Ico). Hopefully that'll soon change, if a new rumor is to be believed: Team Ico is reportedly planning on bundling both games together on a Blu-ray disc, remastered in HD, for release on the PlayStation 3 in the first quarter of 2011.
This rumor first popped up (albeit submerged in inexplicable and very, very NSFW language) on VG247, although no specific source was mentioned in their report. Additionally, The Six Axis later reported that they were told by their own anonymous source the planned collection is real, and Sony will release it in the first quarter of 2011.
Clearly none of this is confirmed, but if these reports are accurate, it may tell us a little bit about Team Ico's latest project, The Last Guardian. After all, it would make sense to release any "Team Ico Collection" right around the launch of their new game, and more than likely even a few weeks or months before it (much like Sony did with the God of War Collection before the release of God of War 3). As such, this might suggest The Last Guardian is similarly planned for a first-quarter release next year.
But, once again, nothing's confirmed. We'll see if Sony has any big announcement to make at E3 in just a few weeks. |

Well, that's one way to motivate PS3 sales.

Yay!
I could never find Ico, but I've heard such praise... SotC, on the other hand, was one of my favorite PS2 games of all time. I remember thinking "Now THIS is different!", a chord that Demon's Souls struck too.

It's too late now because you haven't been PAYING ATTENTION.

It's cliche to say, but Ico really is art. It's really not that great of a game when you get down to it, just one giant box-pushing puzzle. But it really is a great experience. I'd get it if I could find it.
Never played SotC. Really want to.

I nabbed a copy in the clearance section at the front of a Gamestop for six bucks. I'd try looking there.

I will probably pick this up for Ico, which is awesome. I really didn't like SotC, but I won't mind owning it if it lets me own Ico.

Never had either of these games. Had a demo for Ico though. They look really good so I hope this comes out.

...wow. 24 hours ago, I said Ico wasn't that great of a game, and I haven't received a death threat. That's new.

I agree, the game play is average. I played it just because of all the reviews comparing it to a work of art. I agree it is a beautiful game, but you are right as far as it not being great. There are plenty of games where you can push blocks around and fight monsters. There was nothing new as far as game play.
Shadow of the Colossus was a much better gaming experience in my opinion. Few games have made me feel guilty for completing my objective.
