Go check out the recently leaked teaser on youtube. It's highly reminiscent of the previous two games, and looks too accurate to be a fake, that said; Kotaku have it down as rumour so it's not confirmed 100% yet. All I can say is; holy shit. It's ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.... but on the PS3.... and I can't wait

No doubt it will surface at E3, But damn that trailer looks awesome, ICO and shadow of the Colossus are games you need to play if you never have, There just brilliant and nothing less, One thing i liked about them was there was hardly any dialogue in both games and no bullshit stories, Just great gameplay, This will be deffinatly be on my pre order list.
It looks good. But we really haven't seen any game play.
They've already said that the game plays similar to ICO and Shadow of the Colossus so we can make safe assumptions as to general gameplay based off of this early footage (which as I said is highly reminiscent of the previous titles).
So they finally showed this video, it's over a year old, can't wait to see what it looks like now, from what I hear, it's amazing. Wanted to post about this for so long but was asked kindly by my source not to say anything because at the time, few people had been shown the trailer.
This is old footage, very old.

This is early test footage from well over a year ago that was shown internally. This is not a trailer that would be shown at E3. This is not an indication that the game will be shown at this year's E3, or even this year's TGS.
This is just that test footage. All it confirms is that the game exists (duh!), and that it features a boy and a birdrat colossus that aids him.
The Music is from MILLER'S CROSSING, a 1990's Coen Brothers movie. Just a placeholder.
They showed more footage at E3, the games visual style has evolved and where the previous trailer left off the had more clips showing the platforming elements... looks instant win. Can't wait. Going to go look for a HD trailer of it (as the video stream I watched it off was obviously a bit shit).
I hope you get to fight against colossi of similar size to the 'pet' one over the course of the game.

that trailer alone gave me that "warm fuzzy feeling" inside. This is how games should be in my opinion. I'm tired of all these stupid shooters in which you don't give a f**k about the main character nor the story.
Can't wait for it
It's more then just a game, it's art. The objective of the developer has always been to combine entertainment with art, and he achieved it with his first two games so I have no doubt that will be the case here.

Ico brought me to tears... not pussified full-on blubbery, but my eyes were a little wet.
Same thing with Shadow. I honestly think that when someone wants to make the argument for video-games as an artform, these are the two titles to base your thesis on.
I will absolutely be buying a PS3 for this game and the next game this studio is making for PS3. Last time I checked they had 2 unannounced titles in the works... make that one now. I wanted one for a BR player and to use PS3 media server anyway.
**EDIT** On a side note, if you decide to go back and play Ico or Shadow of the Colossus for the first time, do so without a guide. Otherwise you will be doing yourself a great disservice.
I wouldnt say Ico made me cry, nor have wet eyes, but it certainly was an amazing experience to say the least.. a truly different game, I felt like those two characters where my siblings, each time I almost missed a jump I panicked for a split second at times.. theres very few games I can recall where I completely lost track of time when playing. I think I completed the game in 2 sittings, in less than 24 hours. The musical score, near-none dialogue yet so much was said without words.. you could feel the connection between the characters, the emotions and excitement. Also the game mechanics where awesome, the levels which required you to use bombs and such where amazing (actually most of the puzzles in the game where just plain awesome and well thought out )
I often wonder why such games aren't made more often. Its a shame that we just get so many regurgitated shooters and remakes.
Hopefully this game will bring back some good memories and open new doors
Team ICO appears to be the only developer right now who you can depend on to make something truly unique.
Their stuff is so unique that I don't think any other current developer could do what they can.
Their games are like art, nothing else even comes close.
I'm already afraid to play it though because I got a feeling trico (the creature) will die
In another interview he said he is aware of these predictions regarding the death of the creature and said he wants to surprise the gamer. You never know it could be a happy ending - happiness is an emotion after all
hmm
my guess is the creature will die in the end to save you from something but it laid an egg or something before it died and then the game ends with the main character caring for the baby creature.
mark my words! in a few years I'll come quoting this text on page 37 of this thread and then you'll have to bow before me and my magic!
But yeah.. I'm sure whatever they come up with will be great and very emotional.
Can't wait.... oh wow this game will be selling a lot of PS3s.

and it will be killed by the hero of Shadow of the Colossus and then he will say "of fuck wrong creature sorry.... now move along nothing to see"

I think you're right but its only obvious something like that would happen.
