I agree, SOTC was a pretty weak experience overall -- terrible camera and poor controls aside, it often felt like a chore to play and simply wasn't very much fun.

ICO, though, is a favorite of mine.

Re: Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)

If you do a search on Amazon, it doesn't seem to come up. But, I got a tweet from them yesterday with a link to the pre-order page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product

Nevermind the fact that it is a game from the past generation of consoles.
It's more a at the tiny timeframe of videogames.

Think they'll fix the framerate issues in SotC?

Re: Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)

^ Yes ... they replied to that question on the PS3 blog:
Yup, it runs at a locked 30 frames per second, in HD with 3D.

“Solid 30 frames per second” was the quote from the keynote (I’m here right now!). Makes a big different when you see it in action

That's not a very promising release date.

Re: Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)

Haven't had the chance to play either of these, so I'll definitely be picking this up.

It may have been good 5 years ago ("may" being the operative word here), but it's damn near unplayable in 2010.
Ico is the classic....I also did not care for SOTC. I still have my copy of Ico....played it a few times since it was originally released. Still love the game today!!!! If this is truly to be remastered in HD...I may have to bite if the reviews for the remastering are good.

Re: Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)

I still can't believe that my friend told me about this game before the PS3 even launched and it's just now coming out
He did tell me a month or two ago that SOTC was finished, but he had no idea if ICO was included or not. I'm extremely happy it is, since ICO is way better than SOTC.

I was just about to come on here and bitch about the same thing. Way to get us hyped up to wait.

Hey, are there any boss battles in SOTC?

^ A few, but you can avoid them if you find the quick-travel waypoints.

Re: Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)

I still have SOTC for PS2 sitting in my unplayed pile. Probably unopened too. No sense in playing it now. Should I deal now before resale value is in the crapper, or is it already too late for that?

I don’t think SOTC has much resale value. It ended up as a greatest hits title, and you can usually find those anywhere cheap. I picked up mine about 6 months ago for $5 used. Now Ico should still be worth some dough. I’m still trying to decide if I should keep mine or not. I never sold my GOW 1 or 2 copies for PS2 either after picking up the collection on PS3.

I hope they also improve the camera in SotC. The combination of the controls and retarded camera made the game unplayable.

I actually bought it 3 or 4 years back at TRU's buy 2 get 1 free sale, and it was priced at $20. I think it's the greatest hits version of it too. So it didn't cost me very much. If I could get 10 or 15 for it, that's probably a reasonable return at this point. I'll see what they're going for on Amazon.

Wait, he told you they were porting SOTC to PS3 before the launch of the system? That sounds more like wishful thinking than inside info.

If it did get pushed to 12/31, that must mean The Last Guardian won't be out until then, or maybe even later.
