"ICO 3" image pops up in job ad News

Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Kristan excited like little child." haha

me too... me too!

I came just a little bit when I saw that.

ICO 3?

Did I miss one?

@jonsaan: That's exactly what I was thinking.

No doubt they're classing Shadow of the Colossus as ICO 2 which it bloody wasn't.

Team Ico Gamers... join us, jooooin ussss!

:D

ICO 3 doesn't mean it's a sequel to the first two games. It's just a codename which says this is Team ICO's third project. After all Shadow of the Colossus was called ICO 2 for the briefest of times when Sony didn't yet know what to call the game over here. Plus that's what we used to call it until it was given a proper name.

And yes, join Team ICO Gamers!

That has to be the single most dull screenshot in the whole-wide world, yet i for one am almost wetting myself!

if this news turns out to be true then there will be nothing to stop me from finally getting a PS3! :O

YAY!

I love the speculation about the shot. MUST BE MASSIVE BEASTY MONSTRE LOOK AT SHADOW!

\o/ Team ICO Gamers \o/

... i thought i heard a while back that theyre making some game set in the desert with hang gliders, or did i just dream that up?

You didn't but it's been confirmed it was a fake rumour:

There has also been hearsay about the game being about a child and a griffin-type monster thing:

I think it's the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss David Reeves that is shackled up on the chain. No one can stop him starting big flame wars with Xbox fans so Sony have shoved him down a dark hole in the hope that he'll STFU.

oh no, that would almost make me buy a PS3...

boring

Boring, boring.

it's my manwich!

If only they could release a next gen version of Shadow with a decent framerate I'd gladly buy a PS3 just for that.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

Now the question, can I justify buying a PS3 just for 1 game?

Hell, for ICO 3 I would buy a gizmondo!

Bill Gates! He didn't retire from Microsoft. Sony kidnapped him......

I have just got back in to playing SotC and having a monster battle with a colossi is just something amazing. Totally beats the crap out of the bunch of generic games out there. Although I agree with neuroniky, the frame rate need to be massively improved.

Holy Fuck!! It's a hole in the floor with a chain coming out of it. GOTY for 2009, no doubt about that.
Ohh and at least it'll give Apologie some new material for his list of 50+ fannytastic games that are coming out for the PS3 over the next 6 years.

Please - you guys are cocks! ICO1 was a truly stunning game, I didn't need some twat spitter to tell me that. The fact that you spurn and hate PS3 shouldn't let your feeble brains get clouded by the possible existance fo a PS3 version. If you wanks can't get remotely excited by this then frankly I wonder what ball'less editor you have! Why don't you start hiring some real contributors who aren't affected by the popular "anti-PS3" culture - you dickless wonders have had your moment in the spotlight, now get the fuck back to your bedrooms where you belong. Sony ain't perfect folks, but that doesn't mean you have to be barinless zombie fucks who spout oh-so-witty anti-PS3 munge all the time. Just be impartial, is that too much to fucking ask?

im a 360 owner and LOVED Ico !! didnt like Shadow of the Col though......... does that make me a fanboy ?

Or what if, get this christotten, your verdict of something isn't the be all and end all of opinions, and actually just because you like a title doesn't mean every other person in the world has to like it too.
Chillax my friend, calm thyself, and cease the furious ranting. I tried both ICO and SOTC, and they weren't for me, beautiful to look at yes, thrilling to play? Not remotely.

captainrentboy,
you really think SOTC is not thrilling to play? SOTC is like a game comprised of only boss fights. Probably the most thrilling game ever. The only problem is it was short.

Looking at that one, simple image ... nothing makes me feel the way these games make me feel. They're so special.

I was taking the piss, good God you lot can get mighty defensive sometimes huh? It seems that as of late, if you don't agree with the majority on the comments sections and then dare to make your evil and sarcastic opinion known, well then by God you're a big ole troll.
I was taking the mick because faaar too many of you were literally jizzing over your screens over a pic of ''a hole in the floor with a chain coming out of it''. I didn't come in here calling you a bunch of cunts, screaming ''PS3 sUUUUUCKS, ICO BLOOOOWS''
If it was a mighty sexy video showing action galore, well maybe I could understand the excitement, or even if it was a picture of something even slightly interesting, again I could understand the reactions. But this pic?... No.
So rdexter, untwist those panties, and I mightily appologise for my ohh so negative first post, because if there's one thing that stops me being able to get a good night's sleep, it's if I've mot managed to come across as smart and calm on an EG comments section with all of my posts.

Oh wow.

Hated Ico Loved SOTC hope their next game is more in the vein of SOTC but thats just me.

@captainrentboy: that's one of the most interesting things about Team Ico's games. The actual gameplay taken in isolation is exceedingly average. Both games have poor controls, a frustrating camera, and if they weren't Team Ico games we probably wouldn't even give them the time of day.

The point is that there is so much more to them than that. They are much, much greater than the sum of their parts.



You know what's chained up in the dark in that image? Potential. The sort of potential that will convince a lot of people to buy a PS3 (myself included) when that potential is released.

or it could be a big scary monster of some kind.
