man i love ico, this is a class video. Thanks ign for the post

[@Pundae]

i will love you forever if you remake Shadow of the Colossus for PS4

[@achallengedclone9386]

Your wish came true :)

[@Pundae]

only partially :(, im not renting crap tho

[@linkenski]

+ApocalypticGaming I would just want a port honestly. The graphics are exactly they way they have to be.

[@blackassassin8242]

+HowToDo PS3

[@timmadone8930]

And include the extra 8 colossi that were finished, but left out of the final game. It would certainly be a nice bonus if after completing the game, you unlock the extra 8 colossi.

[@ehabgamesnow2154]

Playing ico for the first time now in 2022...beautiful game

[@MassLucks]

thanks to those guys for making those amazing games

[@Naddel81able]

wow, even five years after this upload the last guardian is STILL NOT OUT!

[@lilcarson2339]

Naddel81able I hope you at least now know it's out now

[@kaneda7368]

that's a dumb assumption. Of course everyone knows it's out. Sony gave em a lot of advertising budget.

[@JordanoEscalante]

The feels :´(

[@blackgod59]

Fast forward four years later The Last Guardian still has to come out and its being developed for the PlayStation 4 personally now that I've learned this game is tied to ICO and Shadow of the Colossus I'm much more hyped for this game ICO was one of my favorite games of all time and if you didn't know spoilers Shadow of the Colossus was a prequel to ICO the whole thing was something about God being sealed away these games are beautiful in the way they tell such a compelling story with such little words kind of reminds me of spirited away or Howl's Moving Castle :-)

[@ryanfr1490]

blackgod59 Shadow of the Colossus is my favorite games of all time

[@blackgod59]

Ok scratch that every body the Last Guardian is here just watch Sony's e3 2015 the freaking Last Guardian is here finally and it has a release window OMG and it plays just like ICO my favorite game from Sony Japan studio :-)

[@ryanfr1490]

blackgod59 Ohhh Yeah! It's Awesome! I Love ICO so much! Some people say it's boring because it is a bit quiet with many puzzles but I think it's an epic game, a masterpiece!

[@blackgod59]

RyanFr13 dude I freaking love ICO haven't finished Shadow of the Colossus yet so I won't say which I like more but for right now it's definitely ICO and I hate it when dude bro gamers trash a game like ICO or journey or the Last Guardian for not having a freaking assault rifle in it (mainly Xbox fanboys) I guess you have to have an open mind to appreciate games like this but for me I love the story I love the gameplay I love the characters and I loved the ending for ICO and I absolutely love the fact that ICO Shadow of the Colossus and the Last Guardian are all linked together in the same storyline but in different time periods and I just cannot wait to see where they go with the Last Guardian :-)

[@ryanfr1490]

blackgod59 This new generation of gaming needs more games like ICO,SotC,TLG, instead of these generic blockbusters Fps

[@ColossalGameplays]

yeah fumito ueda is the man :)

[@LiquidSnake1988]

The director being also an experienced animator made a game that is unforgetable to me and until now I hunger for that kind of game. The horsegameplay is the most undefeated one for me even until now. I tried looking at red dead redemption and it disappointed me and now currently playing witcher 3 which is a very good story telling though but failed at horse gameplay. Team ico's game are my number one game of all time so is Kojima's game, SE's Final Fantasy series. Yet even MGSv failed at horse gameplay and didn't satisfy me. :( Well at first I thought that SotC is the best realistic and friendly horsegameplay for me, now I think its the best gameplay animator. That is why im excited for The Last Guardian.

[@danmann861]

7:11 It's the exact same area they showed on the E3 2015 demo

[@Aitor]

This time, there's no turning back. Coming out in 2016!

[@andrewthefanboy1640]

WE WANT LAST GUARDIAN!!!!

[@erise4484]

Andrew Shuboy :D finally released after 7 years!

[@HugoStiglitz88]

This is why we want the last Guardian so bad. Ico and SOTC are legendary games. SOTC is easily top 5 best game of all time and to imagine what they'll do on PS4 is just amazing and I really hope it comes to fruition. I also think they'll figure out really cool ways to use the touchpad and the motion controls of the DS4.

[@brianworden7022]

They better not use the gimmick that is motion controls. I would be fine with the touch pad as long as it is only tied to petting Toriko.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Brian Worden Motion controls are fine sometimes. Depends how they use them

[@LBTennis]

Just played Ico for the first time. I was blown away by it. It's like nothing else iv ever played. Games these days seem to hold your hand all the way through. Ico is just you a girl and a castle. No arrows telling you where to go or maps or even inventory to endlessly scroll though. Now on to Shadow of The Colossus. Can't wait.

[@pibetry]

We are behind you all the way, Team Ico!

[@Legoluigi26]

TLG may be the reason I get a PS4.

[@TheBabro93]

same here !

[@therealarien]

It's great watching this after just finishing TLG :DD

[@MassLucks]

Legoluigi26 yup

[@Chrinik]

Agreed. Loved the game. Had some problems, but I still thought it was amazing. Knew about the game since 2010 and was scared it would disappoint me.

[@Flojstrup]

I love japanese developers! They are so respectful to their fans. I wish other developers would do that.

[@kanamekuran001]

#cryinghere the last guardian are the beautyful game , the connection wtih a little boy with a greater ally good job Fumito Ueda ^^

[@sayamanusia830]

Yes so true

[@Anonyminded]

This game holds a proud place in my collection! Unforgettable experience!

[@LitPenguin713]

MIND BLOWN-HEART TOUCHED

[@geovanakil]

ICO e SHADOW❤

[@tdya1]

I like the way the developers talk ... Very serious and they talk the game as a big personal project

[@MoonWheel01]

I am picking up the HD collection this Tuesday along with dark souls and rage. I can't wait to play all of them.

[@Babelfish112]

It's so heartwarming to see such a great developer talk humbly about their games. Team ICO is really the cutting edge of innovation in games, and I can't wait to see The Last Guardian completed!

[@azard3]

Fumito Ueda is a LEGEND.

[@uvirtrog9751]

SOTC will forever stand as my favorite game.

[@ShawShank503]

One Word:Masterpiece

[@spartandubble17]

i never palyed ico but shadow is still one of my faviortite games

[@smashlimeblogspot1]

Hi everyone from the Sony Conference!

[@thorndafloof4443]

Shadow of the Colossus is my most fav game of all time And I this TLG is the only reason I wanna get a PS4

[@matijatu]

Fumito Ueda is a legend

[@andrix20101]

Last guardian is going to be so awesome

[@jello411]

Well I love ICO and Shadow of The Colossus the most and i like the Last guardian the new ones that they made

[@shamilton1990]

I liked Ico. I loved Shadow of the Colossus. It looks like i'm going to fall head-over-heels for The Last Guardian.

[@hubertpiotrowski4988]

Awsome

[@Darkman9000]

Truly, Ueda and his team are artists. Though the games aren't for everyone, they offer experiences unlike anything else. Ico is like a fairy tale, that deconstructs the normal patterns. And Shadow of the Colossus is like an epic, full of action, but also a tale of how even the most noble of actions, can reap dire consequences...

[@Darkman9000]

@megahunter Are you saying Ocarina of Time inspired Ico? Because that's wrong. Ico was in production before Ocarina of Time released, and already had much of its theme (escape with Yorda) solidified prior to dropping the PS1 as its platform and going to the PS2. If anything, Ico was more like "What if Mario had to escort Peach from the castle?", and then worked from there by stripping out the gamey aspects (no collecting tokens, no scores or health bars, etc).

[@veluk88]

@ledzkreep i have never seen ads on youtube (adblock) :) can't live without it

[@navylaks2]

There is a theory going round that this is actually a trilogy told backwards

[@cellocubano]

If or when SOTC gets a HD ps4 remaster with the missing colossi, It would/could be epic

[@Sephie626]

TEAM ICO FOREVER

[@seanjohnson663]

Is it just me or is it that now a days, when someone introduces something new and fresh, it gets berated by gamers? I guarantee you that if I make a game new and fresh, it will get flack on youtube. Does anybody agree with me on this.

[@gamerguy6990]

It's because the gaming community wants games like call of duty and dont know what a good game is

[@seanjohnson663]

johny biscuit True.

[@Dogga4life]

Game is lost, last year they canned the project :(

[@seanjohnson663]

Lachlan Rhodes What? The Last Guardian? No, it is still in development.

[@gamerguy6990]

Lachlan Rhodes​ it's still in development and I dont think they're going to scrap a game that's taking years to make 

[@anayasmail4345]

i was so sad when i lost the hors in shadow of colusus i loved the hors he was my partner in the game

[@MassLucks]

Anaya Smail horse*

[@kaneda7368]

colossus*

[@Gunngirl]

Anaya Smail the horse survives

[@SRTtoZ]

starting at 8:50, epic effin soundtrack. Its better than most hollywood movies.

[@IanRawlings]

In fact the last games I played on it were the HD remakes of Ico and SOTC, with a bit of time on Red Dead Redemption. Every time I turn it on it wants to spend half an hour downloading an update so it usually gets switched off again once the update has come down. Then next time I turn it on, it wants another one..

[@vincentjack735]

ICO remake please

[@N00BterminatorX]

This is a true video game development company. Team ICO made these games simply to let their ideas be recognized and remembered. We need more companies like this, ones that don't just make their own call of duties just to make some cash.

[@ash318i]

At least Ueda is informing fans about the last guardian. On the other hand, Hideo Kojima has kept everything about mgs rising secret for 2 years. As a Metal Gear fan, this is hugely frustrating.

[@KnightedSilverWolf]

epic win

[@KirbyCrossing]

I want these for the Wii U.

[@Babelfish112]

I bought a PS2 a few months back on eBay just so I could play these games! I know, totally completely worth it right? I had never heard of theese games when they first came out since I had an Xbox, but after seeing a review/gameplay footage I just knew HOLY CRAP I need to experience this!! Now I only wish I had a PS3 so I can play The Last Guardian when it comes out, and Journey :(

[@IanRawlings]

When the first release date for The Last Guardian was released, I bought a PS3 in readiness.. Ooops! Since then it's mostly been playing Blu-Rays, I haven't played any games on it in over a year.

[@recklesflam1ngo968]

That earlier ps3 footage of TLG shows that they had the main game down-pat even back then...

[@snifflestix1396]

All 3 of these games are truly epic, created by an absolute genius, but I would have absolutely loved if they developed an Xbox 360 version of this game so us Xbox gamers can also experience the HD graphics!!

[@williancruz9657]

+Dean Winchester Buy the PS if you want to, if not, go play Gears of War. Exclusives are good for the industry.

[@HAIRYMAN-13]

ps, sorry thanx for uploading this :)

[@fmartinez18]

@Conner3326 I was actually talking about The Last Gaurdian lol

[@spartandubble17]

@ledzkreep what browzer do you have to use

[@juilescieg]

aaah soo dess ka. iko niko triko... ^^ ichi ni san/tri. and next will be shiko.

[@queipazzoidi7200]

#hope

[@lumirin4392]

IF YOU WERE WONDERING IF THE LAST GUARDIAN WAS GONNA BE A GOOD GAME, ITS SURE THE HELL IS

[@azzimaz]

one of the very few games where $60 price tag is well worth it and beyond:) cant wait for Last Guardian,lol

[@killerjoe5551]

Still on Shadow of the colossus

[@Xess4one]

I played only shadow of colossos on the ps2 and it was an amazing experience. But i think it would be more fair when the xbox playaer also could enjoy this amazing adventure =)

[@Idothinkysaurus]

Remastering for the PS4 AND PS3? Or is the PS3 version of Ico and Shadow of The Colossus already out. Knowing these games are still popular makes me feel good I'm doing a no death/ speed-run. 4 hours in and already killed 13 of the 16. No deaths. But the game kind of glitched and I was frozen with Adro in a whinnying position I jumped off and was stuck in mid air. Complete control of the camera and pause menu but nothing involving moving. Luckily it froze me on the one colossus I hated which was the second bull type. Took me ages to muster up the courage to fight that thing the first time, knowing that it could instantly kill me with it's small size and major damage and timing to it's attacks.

[@timmadone8930]

Has anyone unlocked the 8th or 9th bonus box in the HD collection?

[@timmadone8930]

Community Watch LOL...I guess that term can be confusing. Especially if you are not playing the North American version. In the BONUS CONTENT, there are 9 slots ( squares ) which contain stuff that you unlock. I've unlocked 7 of the slots. I'm not sure how you unlock the 8th & 9th slot. Maybe you have to get 100% of the trophy's for both games. Maybe you need to do something else. Whatever it is, I haven't unlocked them. It doesn't appear that anyone else has either. lol

[@KirbyCrossing]

I feel like getting a PS3 just for these Games.

[@armycrafter]

"We felt that ICO was a complete game and we didn't want to make a sequel" I really hope more game companies take over this mentality, becuase (dont get me wrong, i like mass effect 2) there are too many sequels on the market right now (resistance, uncharted, skyrim, mass effect) that i really hope to see new IP's make it to the masses!

[@JuniSalman]

keren nih gan

[@thelinedrive]

@LaunchingIn54321 well lets think about it this way. the game while good isn't really changing enough to make it a must buy for those who played the originals. for instance it would of been nice to incorporate the NICO concept into a semi Add-on for SOTC. great game yes and for it's time it was a master piece and basically set the stage for what it means to be a Playstation game But it is a port of a game with higher resolution so in that sense you can't give it an out right 10.

[@Taxman5scotty]

What's the song at 0:55?

[@cynacllraven--4106]

SPOILER WARNING. Trico and the boy find the center of the valley and more tricos come and start fighting trico so the boy kills the center of the valley all but two good tricos survive and your trico takes you back to your village and many years later a group of boys find a mirror you use to control trico's tail and you shine it and two baby Tricos eyes shine and then it fades to black...

[@juilescieg]

CynaCll RaVeN what is point in telling this here? oO

[@cynacllraven--4106]

Monika because I thought nobody would watch this

[@azzimaz]

@ilovewarships yea,yea, i know heheh, its approximately 40 too where i'm from, but just saying if there's more games like these,i'd be more than willing to shell out that standard $60 price tag they price it these days in general, rather than some shallow 6-7 hour games for the same price,lol:)

[@infamous50c]

Man thank god that I'm using iPad I have no ads

[@VARshnaps]

They're gonna get you real attached to the creature then They'll kill it off just for the hell of it

[@KirbyCrossing]

@DiceKid2008 How do you know?

[@thanh320]

funny thing is i just bought my first ps3 today! Im so happy but i need to pooo

[@TheDropdaworld]

So the last guardian is a combination of ico and sotc

[@Darkgamer06669]

does the last gaurdian and shadow of the colossus have a connection with each other

[@LiquidSnake1988]

spiritually, yes.

[@Jirainez]

Same universe..

[@borjadiaz7884]

The same happens with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus

[@spookychan7189]

I know there's a connection between shadow of the Colossus and ico, but Idk about the last guardian. They just might be in the same universe

[@joea7568]

So no other giant monsters like in the shadow of the collosuss

[@gab_gallard]

Well. They are 2 different Cat-Dog-Bird-Things in the latest trailer, and one of them looks violent.

[@daredevil2724]

[@Conner3326]

@fmartinez18 it came out today (europe) and the 27th (america) T_T

[@lakyjar]

[@Obsidius101]

[@eSuaz]

i bought a ps3 last week so that i can play these games.

[@Matrinique]

Why do people say that Ico and SOTC didn't do well in sales? Is this true? Are its fans only really niche gamers?

[@ownTer]

@baphomet58 You talking about this game or your mom?

[@Marhoon025]

@NIKOALITIS I think its part of The Last Guardian. Definitely not Shadow of the Colossus.

[@JollySilver]

Man, they're just ripping off the Bonus section of the Ico/Sotc HD collection.

[@marquinhoda30]

japas pintinho piquininho pelo menos sao espertos

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]
