If you owned the PS2 and never played either ICO or Shadow of the Colossus, we must shake our heads in your general direction and offer up a big, "shame on you."


But if you missed the more recent SotC, maybe you'll get another shot to find it on store shelves in February. It's hardly confirmed but according to the Team ICO Gamers Blog, it seems that "major Japanese retailers have a new listing for a reprint of Shadow of the Colossus (The Best edition) for the 4th February 2010." Obviously, it's for the PS2 and there are links to the sources, although I can't read Japanese; perhaps one of you could locate the actual listings at those retailers. Obviously, if this turns out to be true, it can be easily deduced that such a move is considered pre-hype for Team ICO's upcoming The Last Guardian. We don't know when the latter will arrive, nor are we sure that this SotC re-release will ever see the light of day in North America, but it does make sense. We're talking about one of the most creative, accomplished and absorbing titles of last generation and to give gamers a second shot at buying it...well, that's just awesome. And our hopes for The Last Guardian really couldn't be much higher; definitely one of our "most anticipated."


Wouldn't it be great if this reprint consisted of bonus content? Like maybe an extra Colossus or two? Yeah, that probably won't happen (this isn't a remake for the PS3 in high-def, or something) but it's still worth thinking about. The game totally ruled.

I really, really, REALLY hope this is true, especially if it hits NA/EU shores. I'd love to see this game in HD. By far the most stunning and best overall game to be released on the PS2 imo. :ryan:
 
Oh fuck yeah! I would love to see a remake of this. They could add so much more into the game. Would there be more colossi? I would hope so. This could potentially be the last epic game for the PS2.

Dude, I will straight have a fungasm if this turns out to be true and shows up in NA.
 
Perhaps they'll include the colossi that they had intended to put in the game but decided not to?

There are pictures on the internet of colossi that never made the final release... There were loads of them. Some of them looked really bizzare.

Another thing I'd like them to add would be the multiplayer aspect that was hinted at with the very old first footage / demo thingy of the game where loads of "Ico's" were on horses hunting a colossus together. While PS2 and online don't fit well, especially now, perhaps controller support might be feasable. It's something I've always wanted.

Probably won't happen though. :D
 
Personally, I'm hoping that it's just a mistranslation and that it'll be made for the PS3 as well, there's so much they could do with it. Amazing HD graphics, online and added content could all be thrown in there with minimal cost and the possibility of a massive profit. It worked for GoW and GoW II remakes on the PS3 so why not SoC? :ryan:
 
As long as they do remake it for the PS2 as well, I've got no problems. It would suck to hear that I have to go out and buy a PS3 just to play it. I'm broke and I can't afford the damned thing.
