Team ICO’s Project Trico HD Trailer
Back in 2001, I had picked up a Jampack Summer demo disc. After checking out the demos available, I came across a game I hadn’t heard of before and it turned out to be the shining star of that demo disc. That game was ICO. The demo had me immediately smitten with the first title coming out of the new studio, Team ICO.
When ICO was finally released in September of 2001, it was a day one purchase. From that point on, I eagerly awaited their next title. When the first details of Shadow of Colossus was shown the gaming community was in a frenzy. And when it finally dropped in October of 2005 the game received rave reviews, and for good reason.
Ever since then PlayStation fans have been drooling for any bit of info they could get on Team ICO’s first leap into the next generation of PlayStation with the PS3. We have seen what they had done with the limited PlayStation 2 hardware, so having resources such as the cell, and blu-ray fans are expecting an even more impressive showing this time around.
Team ICO is led by famed game designer Fumito Ueda. Ueda, being scheduled to speak at this years GDC back in March, had fans awaiting some type of announcement. However nothing was shown. When Ueda was asked about the upcoming project, he had this to say…
The Japan studio bosses are here so I can’t say anything specific, but it might be something similar to what’s been done. … The essence of the game is rather close to ‘Ico.

Up until now, the only image that has been released about Team ICO’s next game is a single image of a chain hanging down what appears to be a well. Today we help lift the curtain off of this project a bit and shed some light on what Fumito Ueda has been up to these past few years and as you will see, it is rather close to ICO.
This is very early footage the next game from Team ICO. As with most early footage you can expect graphical enhancements for the final product. Some of these elements, such as the main character, or scenarios you see here may not make the final cut.

[...] Playstation Lifestyle have managed to aquire the scoop of the century, airing leaked footage of the new project from Team Ico, the makers of the critically acclaimed ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. The trailer, which was meant only to be seen internally, is now over a year old, with the game having been so early in development that the main character may be subject to change, for this reason the graphics are not outstounding, but are still rather good. Additionally, VG247 has confirmed that this footage is indeed real. However the site also comments that an E3 showing may not happen as the highly anticipated game is still to early in development. As of yet, Sony has refused to comment. [...]

good job Sev, game looks great so far. That grifon looks like a baby, so where’s it’s momma?

For anyone experiencing problems, unclick the “HQ” button. It’ll work smoothly.
[...] PlayStation LifeStyle got (somehow) the first possible footage of the new project from Team ICO.

Sev, you were right. The internet exploded!
Net continues to explode. How many youtube views? Jeez… thought this game had indie appeal. I think a lot of people are watching the video 10+ times each!
@ dr.ghettoblaster
id have to agree. it looks kinda dumb the cat creature. im sure the graphics will be improved and better story.
reading some post people saying “the graphics look amazing better than anything out there”.. hmmmmm yeah? lol.
@ Sneeches
do your PS3 homework.. it seams you read bits and pieces of the article. That way when i read your comments it makes sense… if you have SC4 send an invite.

ohh lol, i was looking for a ling at the bottom of the page
I’ve waited eagerly for news of Team Ico’s first next gen game and havta say.. am pretty impressed.
Considering that it states this is early work of the game, the graphix are amazing. The trailor also brings back a strong vibe of both Ico and Shaddow of the Collosus, prodominantly via the scenary they’ve used and char design aswell as hints of possible ingame play (the scene of the boy holding onto the griphon as it climbs the wall, reminiscent of SotC).
As for the Griphon creature, while at first i was abit baffled and suprised by it, it’s team Ico.. if it’s there.. it’s there for a reason and the design is such for a reason. Altho as stated by Sev.. anything can change between now and release.
Cant wait to see some ingame footage and what they’re gonna build upon over the coming months (possibly year) till the game comes out.
Great vid Sev
