Rumor: Team Ico Collection in 2011(ps3)
Team ico give ICO and Shadow of the Colossus the GoW Collection treatment by ‘remastering’ both games for PS3 on a single Blu-ray.
(destructiod):The rumors say that the HD re-releases will launch in the first quarter of next year, and if true, it will likely come out in time to promote Team ICO's first big PS3 game, The Last Guardian. Naturally, this is all gormless speculation at the moment, so don't hold your breath just yet. Would be pretty awesome if true though, no?

Day 1 purchase if it happens. I never got to play either on PS2, as I couldn't find Ico when I was initiallly interested and my PS2 broke before I got Shadow of the Colossus.
I'll be buying this.
Not a huge fan of Ico, but a remastered SotC? Very cool. The God of War Collection looked pretty nice...I'm hoping this release will look just as good.

Maybe this will knock down the price of Ico to reasonable levels?
would get it the first day...
This. I don't own Ico and would also get it. The PS3 collection would be a day one purchase for me as well.Originally Posted by duffmanth

Day one purchase as well just for the re-mastered Ico alone. This has been a rumor for quite some time if I remember correctly, so I think it's safe to say that it's very likely to happen. Hopefully the re-mastered Ico have the subtitles that were missing in the US version of the game.

I dont get the ICO love. I found it a bit before Christmas this year for 30 so I was excited to get my hands on a mint copy. I was able to beat it in about 2 sittings in a hair over 5 hours, 30 minutes of that due to me not knowing there were bombs in the game. The puzzles are super simple and the combat is scarce and easy. The only thing I really liked about the game was the art direction. It gave off a real Im in the middle of a giant tomb feeling. Give me any 3d zelda dungeon any day, at least those games will give you more hours and a lot more to do.
As for SOTC, I still have my sealed copy asking me to play it from time to time, but I just dont have that time. I am excited to play that.
Bury me with my money......*dies*
CDiablo. In Shadow of the Colossus you're in an open world with 16 colossi you have to kill. There are no other enemies in the game(except for defenseless birds, fish, and lizards.) Just traverse extremely beautiful looking areas to get to these colossi and then kill them.
Killing the colossi are the puzzles. You have to find out how to get on them, how to get where you're supposed to strike to be able to deal damage, etc. After the first time it's not as good but it's still a great experience, especially if you play it on hard mode where the colossi have twice as much health and multiple weak points.

Day 0 purchase.
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
I'd buy
Too bad there's no indication it's going to happen, just made up rumors.
If it actually happens, I'll definitely buy it. I have a copy of Shadow of the Colossus for PS2 I've been meaning to play (it looks lovely on PS3 in backwards compatibility!), but this sounds like it would definitely be a better way to play it and Ico.
I've got both already, but I'd definetely pick this up. I beat Shadow of the Colossus and have wanted to replay it for a while, but have held off hoping for this collection. I started Ico last fall but fell off a cliff about 45 min in and it set me back about 30 min. At the time I just couldn't make myself replay that part.
I've got both and I'd buy this too, just for the remastered graphics. Great games for sure.

May actually be coming, there is a link off amazon france(june 2011):
http://www.amazon.fr/Sony-The-Team-I...7876262&sr=8-1
As has been mentioned in the gaming media in relation to this rumor, Amazon France is well known for putting up product pages with dubious validity.
Just the same, I think there's enough demand and excitement over this possible collection to ensure this thing is being developed as we speak for a 2011 release.
Their most recent high profile bogus product page was their Uncharted 3 entry, which listed a 2011 release just before E3.
And as anyone that paid any attention to E3 knows, there was no sign of Uncharted 3 at the show. Amazon France puts things up just with the expectation that it's going to happen without waiting for confirmation. So at the end of the day, it likely means about as much as if you or I claimed it was in development.

I own both games already, and I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I'm a sucker for Ueda, I guess.
... Shouldn't we be angrier about the whole "no more BC consoles, buy it again on Blu-ray" thing? Oh well.
The excitement about this collection isn't necessarily due to gamers just wanting to be able to play these games on their PS3.
Many (Including people such as myself that own both games and a PS2) are excited at the prospect of improved graphics, improved frame rates, and the opportunity to play these games on their modern television without it looking horrible. We're excited to see two great games given some attention and a rerelease. Ico in particular never saw the attention it deserved the first time around.
Quite a few people can't even play Ico on their modern HDTV through component on their PS2 due to their television not supporting the resolution Ico runs at through the component port.
All the problems these two games ever sufferred from (Frame rate issues, looking poor on HDTV's, etc.) should be eliminated, making two great games even better.
And I highly doubt PS2 BC was removed just to help sell a God of War Collection, Sly Cooper Collection, and a Team Ico Collection. And if it helped at all in getting these collections to be developed, I'm glad it's gone.
Why should we be mad?

How do two games make a "collection"?
What if all there were two editions when releasing Last Guardian. Team Ico Collection for $70 or Last Guardian for $60.
