When it was first announced, PS3-exclusive The Last Guardian was one of our most anticipated games of 2010, then one of our most anticipated for 2011, and now we’re really excited for it in 2012. But the delays and the fact that we hadn’t seen the game in a long time was starting to make us worried. And this new rumor floating around hardly comforts us, as Eurogamer reports the games director and Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda has quit Sony...
The National Academy of Video Game Testers and Reviewers (NAVGTR) Corp. has announced the results of its first ever Best of the Decade awards program.
<br />
<br /> The nominations were for video games released between 2001 and 2009 and included several categories which ranged from Innovation in Game Play of the Decade to Lead Performance of the Decade in Drama. Team Icos PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus beat out stiff competition to gain the Game of the Decade award.

PS2 vs PS3 – FIGHT! Just like the Ico HD comparison video we put up today, the visual enhancements bestowed upon the PS3’s upgrade of Shadow of the Colossus are more than instantly apparent when you look out the SD and HD versions side by side. It’s more than the lack of fog and cleaner textures, right? I mean, I ain’t no expert ur nothin’, but it looks as if Team Ico had to go back in and create completely new art in order to fit a modern aspect ratio. Feel free to call me an asshole in the comments if I’m wrong…
Andriasnag writes Instead of attending E3 this year, Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda kept himself busy by sorting through his old files.
Beloved PlayStation 2 titles didnt have enough appeal to users, says The Last Guardian director. Fumito Ueda, director of Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus, believes the reason his emotive, artistic and much-loved PlayStation 2 games sold poorly was because they werent good enough. With Uedas current project, The Last Guardian, set for release this year, we asked if he was bothered that gamers repeated calls for originality are not reflected in sales charts, which suggest they prefer the security of long-established franchises.
If you were hoping to see Shadow of the Colossus in HD this spring, you might be disappointed.
Viz Media has officially confirmed the forthcoming release of an English language version of Ico: Castle of the Mist, the novelisation of the critically acclaimed videogame from Team Ico. While an official release date yet been announced, its currently expected that the novel will arrive alongside the release of the PlayStation 3 re-release of the game as part of the ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection.
If the Shadow of the Colossus film works, then big-screen adaptations of ICO and The Last Guardian may follow, movie-maker Misher Films has said.
Misher Films executive producer Kevin Ping Chang has gone on record as saying the Shadow of the Colossus movie is coming along.
