I want to replay the hell out of that game.

The garden was awesome, there was a ton of mystique of what was up there and then when you finally get there you find

[Show spoiler] absolutely nothing to do or find

They really need to award getting there for sure lol....

lol i know and agree with the spoiler. It's very cool that trophies exist for that very reason.

But whatever, I just enjoyed sitting around and admiring the visuals in that game. Spinning the camera and riding the horse ;-;

And I still think the game looks damn good, so a ps3 port would be spectacular.

There are so many ps2 games I would love to see get the God of War Collection treatment. Hopefully this will happen.

Oh man I hope this happens!

GOW was done to get people who haven't played the series to get interested in part 3 since its a linear storyline.

Since SOTC and Ico are all independent of LG I don't see the connection. Especially since Ico was largely snubbed by the media and buyers alike when it first came out. Your asking Sony to spend $xxxxxxxx on something that probably never made that much in the first place. Its animation or feel wouldn't be appreciated this gen (sadly). I've tried to get people to play it but they get bored 15 minutes in.

Ico could be done as a PSN game, it was so small to begin with utilizing a single CD. In HD it would take up more space but it would be worth it on psn.

SOTC would need a 5 star treatment. Perhaps team Montreal could do it since GOW3 is now finished, a return favour as the GOW collection would obviously shift GOW3 for them a bit more.

Basically seems to be a rumour, so take it for what its worth...but interesting. Sony must know the demand is there. Perhaps with E3 looming by...

Best. News. Ever.

Reps for that!

I've had several people say Q1 2011 is likely for Japan, and later for RoW is probably a good bet, though I can't give an exact date as it pertains to a release of an as yet unannounced game.

Look at it this way, we haven't had a game from SCEJ since Siren(?) and now we are set to get this, TLG, GT5 and a Minna no x in the next 6-12 months.

Making up for lost time?

I still have the PS2 versions of both games but would be willing to double-dip to get new HD versions

+1... Haven't played them in soooo long... even with my b/w compatible PS3. So I will continue to hold off until the reissue


Now if they could only do that with FFVII........

Until they bring me mah RPGs, no. Still waiting for LoD2 and LoD on PSOne classics Sony.

Anyways, would buy this at high price, well not high price, but I'd buy it. SOTC was superb, never played ICO and really want to, make SOTC 60FPS, improve graphics, maybe even bring out cut content like the missing colossi and co op as bonus extras only.

Please let this be true. I liked Ico and absolutely loved SOTC.

[tommyboy81]

double dip for me. Collectors editions if they'll have them

[Denoku]

I never played the game.

[jetthead]

The God of War Collection was awesome and a Team ICO Collection would be even cooler. Sign me up!

As I recall, we've been getting plenty of games from SCEJ, it's just that they've all been for the PSP.

This is good news, I'm sure. I already own both games, but I never got around to finishing SotC, so I'll probably wait for the collection. I'm hoping the unusual circumstances around these games means that a PS3 port doesn't preclude PS2 software emulation (yes, I'm going to keep harping on that until we actually get it); they're both very highly critically acclaimed, but Ico is very hard to find, and while SotC is easier to find, it doesn't run all that well on the PS2. A PS3 port of both released ahead of The Last Guardian is a great way to promote that game.

Hopefully they get the cover art right this time.

ICO was the first game I played that you would look out somewhere, then 5 or 6 hours later you would get to a point 10 times higher and you would look down and remember being at that spot way below. I loved that about ICO. Most recently, GOW3 has the segment in the beginning where in the background you see the chains from the Judges going up, then hours later you're actually scaling them

SOTC, besides being absolute awesomesauce, seemed like a pretty story-less game, as there's basically no interaction with anything besides Agro (lol) and the colossi. But when you get to the very end and get the explanation of the black crap that was everywhere and it suddenly hits you like Gouken's Shin Shoryuken

And can you really ever forget the first time you get on the flying colossus? That was awe-inspiring.

OMG felt like i was having Vertigo. There were times i would jump off of something and can feel my stomach go up to my chest. Only other game to do that to me for some reason is Infamous
