Fumito Ueda Keen On “ICO Collection”
Ever since it was announced that God of War: Collection would feature remastered, trophy enabled, HD versions of the PS2 classics God of War and God of War II, the PlayStation community immediately began wondering if other acclaimed franchises could get the same treatment.
Team ICO‘s Fumito Ueda, creator of ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and the upcoming The Last Guardian, is “all for the idea” of such a collection, adding “he’d like to play the games on the PS3 (as well as on the PSP)”.
While speaking with 1up, at this year’s Tokyo Game Show Ueda was asked if we might see ICO and Shadow of The Colossus re-released on the PS3 in a similar fashion to the upcoming God of War: Collection.
“I always thought they were designed for PS2 and should stay there. But lately, I’ve been thinking it would be nice to provide the games to other platforms to reach more users.”
If the fan support for this “collection” is anything like the response to the God of War III survey earlier this year. Then Sony won’t want to miss the chance to get these great games in the hands of more gamers.
What other remastered PS2 “collections” would you like to see on the PS3? Comment below.

Metal Gear Solid 1-3.
Please God, let this happen. There are the best two games of all time in my book
First of all remastered edition is always a good thing to have.
Second I never played any of the Team ICO games so I wouldn’t mind buying them if they get a collection edition since I’ve been hearing such great comments from you guys.
i played shadow of colossus and yeah… its everything everyone says it is. never played ico and would definitely pick this up and play both if it were in a collection. from what ive read and heard this is definitely the highest requested collection since the god of war collection was announced.
@Dan Massi
that would be great… unfortunately i think the essential collection and the release of mgs on psn are all the treatment those games will get
i would buy this day 1
Silent Hill FTW!
I can’t think of any collections I’d really like, basically I’d love this because I haven’t been able to play either Ico or Shadow of the Colossus. Anyway, everyone should start posting in threads about this on PSN Forums and getting it some attention!
I would most likely buy a collection of the two. As long as it’s the same price as the God of War one.
This would sure be a hit if it would be re-released. I would buy it, that’s for sure.
always wanted to try this game
A Jak and Daxter collection. Definetely.
hello….
i want my ICO collection, i want it so badly i’m even ready to track & make all the polls that will exist.
i never played any of the game before, i didn’t even know about ICO, but had a glance at SOTC & loved it. I fell in love with TLG as soon as i watched the first trailer. the past week i downloaded & watched some trailers about ICO & SOTC …
i’m ready to buy this collection DAY ONE! & TLG too – i’ll pre-order!
I really hope they go for it …
cheers!
Yes! Shadow of the Colossus!

[...] dream may become a reality soon enough. There is a possibility of Team ICO’s PS2 classics, Shadow of the Colossus and ICO being re-released on the PS3, Fumito Ueda recently revealed. The news has everyone excited, but this new development is enough [...]
The first few PS2 GTAs would be nice 2 have in my collection again. But the 2 they are working on are epic.
Oh, Please make this, I was about to buy Shadow of the Colossus and ICO (if I could find it), but my PS2 broke and I desperately long for these games, please I beg of you Fumito Ueda, please.
P.S. It would also be awesome if Sucker Punch would re-release the Sly Cooper series on PS3, and if Square Enix could re-release the Kingdom Hearts Series. But the Biggest one is definetely the ICO Collection.
