this is the thread for the general discussion for the re-release of these two amazing games.

so far to update, the rumors say that the re-release is supposed to come out sometime of spring of 2011, seeing how it IS spring of 2011, im doubting it.

i personally think that it will come out around late summer to early fall, seeing as they want to release the game that all this is building up for, the last guardian, sometime by later this year.

thoughts discussion and any updates, post here

I never played Shadow of the Colossus, and Ico seems cool. So I am really happy about this. I hope this will be on the 360. If not, I guess I could always plug that old PS3 in.

Is The Last Guardian the one with the giant dog thing? I want to get that so badly. It's worth taking up my PS3 again. Ico actually doesn't look that cool. But I always wanted to play Shadow of the Colossus.

when i first got ico for the ps3 my mom bought it for christmas. i didnt really look good in commercials and stuff, but suprisingly enough, its actually a very good game. for games that have virtually no diolauge, they tell a fantastic story and really let you connect with the characters.

and yes the last guardian is the one with the large dog with wings.

all three of these games are supposed to be somehow link, fan boys like me have found out that infact all three storys take place in the same "earth" or planet/area. im hoping that somehow connections will tie themselves or whatever.

shadow of the colossus was FANTASTIC. i was so freaked out at how good (and how hard 0_o) that game was

Aren't the games all interrelated in some way?

I know that according to the developer Shadow of the Collosus is technically a prologue to Ico. So, this looks oddly familliar, could The Last Guarding be a prologue to SotC?

Well maybe the dog thingy was being protected by the colossi. (that's the plural right?) Then it awakens once the last colossus dies. I don't know I didn't play the game.

well ive played both. and the stories themselves arent connected it doesnt seem. i havent played in a LARGE number of years so again im not the best source. but they do seem to take place in the same sort of area. the same planet at the least. im hoping that somehow the last guardian will bring things together.

but hey, if you get the rerelease you can find out yourself

Maybe I'm the only one who read up on this, and I have played Ico, and I remember that in Ico there was this whole debacle over boys having horns, also the sword (I think you got a sword) looks similar to SotC.

I noticed that at the end of SocT the main character after he was sucked into the vortex and turned into a baby, had horns. So by prologue I'm thinking centuries apart. Not dirrectly related, no, but in some way it is tied in.

Shadow of the Collosus


I absolutely hated the controls, so I watched my friend play. He got to the last boss and we both failed at defeating it (I probably could have if I had put more than 10 minutes into the game prior). Such a shame I never got to see the ending.

I honestly did look the game up on YouTube, but I can't bring myself to watching the ending. Either I want to beat the game myself, or see someone beat it in person. Kind of weird, I know.
