Technically, Team Ico did complete Shadow Of The Colossus. It shipped in 2005. You could put the disc in a PS2 and and experience what would become one of the most iconic adventures in gaming. But a much more sprawling vision for its world and the colossi that would inhabit it was never realised. Shadow Of The Colossus was broken, unpolished, and incomplete, and the upcoming remake shouldn't try to fix that.
Not content with one HD re-release, Team Ico's classic Shadow of the Colossus is now making its way to another PlayStation console, with the announcement today of a version for the PS4.
Wonder what action-adventure games are most popular in Japan? Let's find out! There might be some surprises... Then again, there might not.
One of the highlights of the IGF awards this week was a short video showcasing the next game from Fumito Ueda, creator of classics like The Last Guardian, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
The Last Guardian is a story about a boy and his giant monster friend, Trico. Using space, the game communicates a growing bond. How close are the two characters? When are they allowed to enter personal space? We examine how this relationship is crated in this video.
If waiting seven years for the third game from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda has taught us anything, it's patience, which is exactly what's needed to see our young hero and his massive catbird companion through to the end of The Last Guardian.
Dutch art dealers Cook & Becker, no stranger to video game collaborations, are releasing two pieces of art that will be very dear to a lotta folks' hearts: Museum-grade prints of some original paintings by Team ICO's Fumito Ueda.
Sixteen bosses in Shadow of the Colossus weren't enough for artist Roberto Robert, so he drew two more. They're both awesome, very similar to the fifth colossus Avion, and would fit perfectly in the setting of the game.
We're back with another collection of excellent games writing. Can you think of two games to talk about that more wildly different than Shadow of the Colossus and Battlefield Hardline?
Shadow of the Colossus first came out in 2005. Since then, millions of people have played the beloved PS2 game, driven by its lonesome charm, moved by its mysterious ending. But one man never stopped playing, as a result, he's found stuff that the game's creators never intended anyone to see.
Honest! They're really gonna do it this time! Maybe. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony's big-budget movie adaptation of the gorgeously desolate, utterly soul-wrenching Shadow of the Colossus has resurfaced once again, this time with a new director and producer.
Titan Souls might be a little too on the nose as a name, but when your biggest influences appear to be Shadow of the Colossus and Dark Souls, you may as well wear them proudly.
Shadow of the Diablo: looks like Diablo III owners on PS3 and PS4 will also get some sweet Shadow of the Colossus gear, in addition to having The Last of Us enemies appear in the game too. You can read more about both here.
With artist AndyDaRoo on the pens and NormalColossus on research duty, we now have this striking image showing the scale of every colossus from Team Ico's classic Shadow of the Colossus.
It's in there with a few other demos for Sony's beloved PS2 console. I spotted this on my way into the office this morning and gave the homeless person a dollar.
Bet you'll never guess what July's best-selling PSN game was. Spoilers: Shadow of the Colossus.
Godzilla and his atomic breath are one of the most recognisable metaphors for the atomic bombings of WWII -- and they're also icons of Japanese pop culture. With a steady supply of Kaiju movies, giant monsters nestled themselves comfortably in video games, creating a huge library of monster mayhem-based titles. We have selected some of them, both niche and well-known, featuring battles with these towering beasts.
Work is progressing on a big-screen adaptation of Fumito Ueda's rather excellent Shadow Of The Colossus. Am I the only one who hopes that it doesn't actually get off the ground?
