Whoever's playing's a bit crap though.
got to agree with a couple of the comments on the site about the video that plays after this. In ICO the enemies seem smarter

I replayed ICO about a year ago and it looks the same to me. Always had the annoying enemies that hop over as you approach them. Best to wait until they grab Yorda and then smack 'em down.

Bonus Content Comes to ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection
+ Posted by Brian Dunn // Associate Product Marketing Manager


We’re just a few short months away from the release of the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PlayStation 3. As mentioned in the original announcement, this new collection features two of the most highly acclaimed video games of all time, now with full 1080p HD and stereoscopic 3D support, 7.1 surround sound, and full PSN Trophy support, all for just $39.99.

As if that wasn’t enough reason to pick up this collection in September, I’m happy to announce that the disc will also come with some amazing bonus content. Packed in every new copy of the game will be a voucher for two XMB Dynamic Themes, one for ICO and one for Shadow of the Colossus. In addition, on the disc itself will be a ton of exclusive video content from ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian that fans won’t want to miss. We’re busy finalizing the videos as we speak, and will have more details to share next month.

Don’t forget to pre-order your copy before it hits stores on September 27!

Couldn't agree more, and don't forget the dynamic themes that come with it as well.

These are the Japanese dynamic themes, probably the same announced for North America now. Your guess is as good as mine as to how they animate.

If only it could read in PS2 saves so I could continue my completion count (recorded in the game)

I think I'm at about 5 or 6 completions each of NORMAL and HARD difficulties. An extra option to start the next playthrough without your upgraded stamina and health bars would be good too.

I'm still stunned at the one image of the closeup of the colossus' face - doesn't even remotely look like a PS2 game. The collection cannot come out soon enough.

This definitely looks interesting. Won't pick it up immediately, but sometime after release, although £27.99 is not a bad price to pay for games of this magnitude.

Fatty PS3's still going strong at IGN.

Somehow if feels wrong this time that they get to sample SotC's golden nectar before myself.

edit: oh yeah, the newer ico/sotc combo trailer's up on the Japanese PlayStation Store, 720p only though. It showed up as a front-page ad for me but you can just search for "ICO" and it comes up along with the LBP costumes.

  28. Tower of Prayer – Save at all save points
  29. Endangered Lizards – Killed all shining lizards
  30. Stalwart Wander – Max out HP bar
  31. Mighty Wander – Max out stamina bar



These are the tricky ones!

ICO

Spiked Club – Acquire Spiked Club
Shining Sword – Acquire Shining Sword

These two aren't hard, but secrets that are easily missed.

Castle Guide – Beat the game within 2 hours

ICO's pretty short, especially if you re-play knowing what you're doing but this still seems tight! Once you've beaten the game once you unlock two player mode where player 2 controls Yorda. If you've got a second player helping Yorda avoid shadows, it could make this a lot easier.

Unscathed Escape – Clear the game without viewing a game over screen

Tricky if you don't cheat, but I'm sure you can just reload your last save.


SOTC

Climber – Reached the top of the shrine

You need a well-expanded stamina meter and plenty of practise jump-climbing for this. There was a glitch in the NTSC version of the game that allowed you to jump diagonally and avoid depleting stamina but this was fixed in the PAL version which I'm sure, like ICO, this HD version is based on.

Cornucopia – Acquired all fruits in the world
Tower of Prayer – Save at all save points

It's a big world so you'll need plenty of patience, paper or someone else's guide to mark down the grid reference of the trees and save points you've found. At least now in HD it'll be easier to spot each fruit through the tree branches.

Endangered Lizards – Killed all shining lizards

Again, it's a big world but lizards are tricky little buggers and often hard to spot at awkward angles, even if you know where they're supposed to be. The HD resolution should help with this too.

Meticulous Collector – Acquire all items available in hard time attack

You need to have beaten each Colossus a few times to remember the stab spots (no time for pointing the sword beam!) and quickest way around their bodies.

...

[*]Slippery Ride – Hang onto the fish for over 30 seconds

This one's probably not tough, just something I don't remember ever doing! It must be in that pool down the big hole where you fight one of the colossi that throws you about on its back.

Shin,

Thanks for the list--quick question, is the color coding of the trophies red=bronze, silver, and gold (their respective colors)? That would be 9 golds for Ico and 6 for SoTC?

If so, that would be unbelievable!

Also, I think the 30 second fish one is hard because you lose breath meter when it takes you underwater, forcing you to let go...Unless I'm not remembering right.
