Team Ico To Create a Sequel?

Linkin Park Fan | October 03, 2007 | News | Playstation 3

If you are a huge fan of ICO or Shadow Of The Colossus, you would know that Team Ico has been working on another game. Sadly we haven't heard anything new for months. Team Ico Gamers asked OPM if they knew anything about this game. They called up Sony and found out that the could be a sequel. But A sequel to witch game? Ico or Shadow Of the Colossus?

So I sent a couple hundreds of e-mails to OPM last month, right? And they've published one of them in this month's issue:

Me: "I have just read the PlayStation Legend page on Ico at the back of OPM, issue nine and can't stop wondering what Fumito Ueda and the rest of the team will come up with on PS3. I'm a big fan of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, like many others in the PlayStation community, and we're all waiting impatiently for the day when the next game will be announced. It's pretty unnerving that the only thing we know about Team ICO's next effort so far is that there is going to be one. Any chance of some inside info, OPM?"

Them: "We asked Sony boss Kaz Hirai what was going on with Team ICO a couple of months back. As he was pleading ignorance, one of the other execs present blurted out. "I'm pretty sure they're doing the sequel." Our fearless reporter immediately asked. "What, the sequel to ICO or Shadow of the Colossus?" Then the room filled with knockout gas...

So, it seems they don't know anything concrete. But it's encouraging that the next game is referred to as a sequel of some kind. That would mean it's based in the same setting as the previous games. Right?

I'm guessing it's a new spin-off title...the guy's not 100% sure that it is a sequel, so meh. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be great Just look at ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.

Well Shadow of the colossus was a somewhat prequal to ICO. My guess they will do the same thing. Completely different game, but in the smae universe.

So is ICO the same as Shadow of the Colossus?

Anyhow, I hope they do in fact make a SOTC sequel. It was such a fun game.

It will be top priority for me. I have the highest respect for their two 5star games.

I've heard of this game for 1 of my friends, he said it was a pretty decent game. I might get this game, but most likely I won't. I have to go to my friend and play the game to see if I like it a lot, then I will read up more on it.
